Let's Eradicate the Poison Scams
Been fighting a cold, 38.9C a couple of hours ago. First time getting sick after prison. This issue kept its airspace in my head for the last few days, even through the fever.
Our industry should be able to completely eradicate this type of poison attacks, and protect our users.
All wallets should simply check if a receiving address is a “poison address”, and block the user. This is a blockchain query.
Further, security alliances in the industry should maintain a real-time blacklist of these addresses, so that wallets can check before sending a transaction.
Binance Wallet already does this. A user would get a warning like below if they try to send to a poison address.
Lastly, wallets should not even display these spam transactions anywhere. If the value of the tx is small, just filter it out.
Protect users.
