🗒️ Summary of this message: Wallet security should be prioritized over scaling, but it may be difficult to prevent theft even with encryption and complex code. Development priorities include scaling, wallet security, and unit testing.
📝 Original message:I'd put wallet security before scaling, but inevitably, I'm not sure there's
too much anyone can do about that. Even if the wallet is encrypted, it just
takes a little more complex code to steal funds if you've infected your
target.
