The level of payment fraud in crypto is genuinely staggering. What's striking is that even minimal proof-of-work requirements—just a modest computational barrier—could drastically reduce fraudulent transactions. Yet we're still seeing rampant abuse. It really highlights how severe the problem has become. Implementing basic friction mechanisms could be a game-changer for payment security, but the adoption hasn't caught up to the need.

Bro, this issue should have been taken seriously long ago. Fraud is really outrageous; even a slight reduction in POW difficulty can significantly increase risks... yet all kinds of shady operations are still rampant.

The fact that the POW threshold is so low and people can still be exploited suggests that it's not a technical issue... it's a human issue, right?

This isn't a technical issue; it's just that the利益链 is too deep. Who would be willing to add friction?

Brothers are all talking about fraud prevention, but there are only a few that are actually implemented.

That's right, cryptocurrency payment fraud is indeed outrageous. A little more proof-of-work verification can block most scammers. Why are so many people still willing to do it?

There are too many scammers. Why hasn't the POW firewall been implemented yet?

To be honest, this problem should have been solved a long time ago. If you’re not even willing to add some basic computational barriers, what are you expecting, right?

Cryptocurrency payments are really outrageous. Even a slight reduction in POW thresholds can significantly decrease fraud, yet they continue to turn a blind eye. Who can understand this?
