How do you think people (technical and/or non) can best contribute to or work towards improving/accelerating bitcoin advancement and improvement these days?
Said another way: what does bitcoin need most right now? What would you be building if you were starting today from scratch?
helpful context from my friend who works in cybersecurity when i asked him: Does this look worse than it actually is or is it as bad as it sounds?:
"Hmm my initial read is it sounds worse than it actually is. The initial requirement is for malicious software running on the system and if that's the case there are likely easier ways to get something like a set of wallet keys if someone is storing their wallet on disk (grab the file, or if it's password protected use a keylogger to grab the password the next time the user enters it in). With it being a side channel attack I'd be surprised if it was easy to exploit in anything other than a highly targeted way as those typically depend on a lot of very specific conditions to actually work. My thoughts are if someone has malware running on my system (even only as my user context) this is way down my list of things I'm worried about. It's probably more useful in a scenario like a shared hosting environment to capture data from other users but I'm guessing there aren't many mainstream services that use Apple chips under the covers."
i stopped reading about halfway through this self-aggrandizing missive but it's quite the strawman my goodness
i don't know anyone cheering for this, even people (like me) who don't use or like coinbase/binance
