shouldn't responsible @kepford delete his original message?

I think it's not as severe; especially because there is no proof of exploit so someone would have to write code first to really efficiently leak user balances. I tried to do this myself to see the impact and I noticed it's not as easy for reasons I don't want to irresponsibly disclose here, lol

or is it all too late and the pressure is on to fix this in the background?

Imo, this change will already fix it enough.

I didn't even think it was a bug let alone a serious one. LOL.

If the limit were higher though it would have more impact.

I'm a dev and as soon as I saw your comment I felt terrible. I know if I were working on stacker.news I'd feel responsible to fix it asap. I appreciate the gentle scolding and the zap. Was not expecting either.

Haha, it's okay, it happens :) You can review the "fix" if you want though
