I suggested pinning the front end to a service like IPFS where you know that you’re only using a certain version number and not going to get an upgrade of the app without your knowledge.
Seems like a good solution to me, but I was dismissed by the creator of Mutiny Wallet with “IPFS is a scam” or some similar comment. Completely ignoring the idea itself. Ignore IPFS, let people host the front end on github pages or something. The idea is making the hosting accessible and easy for people so they don’t need to worry about forced upgrades.
Why wouldn’t this idea work?
