Yet again, we see that just because you can be your bank , doesn't mean you should. These 'safe', ' audited' programs, protocols, wallets keep failing. The introduction of irrevocable bounties creates a huge incentive to find bugs. The so-called self-funded bug bounty. Never trust a 3rd party to do your crypto.

This strikes me as funny because software engineers are regularly told not to roll their own crypto.

I'm pretty sure these are different uses of the word crypto.

I chuckled because I interpreted their comment as a pun

The CEO is a huge scammer and at least one audit said atomic wallet was very insecure.

Not doubting you but could we get sources for that? (Genuinely interested in some of the key highlights from that audit)

Well, being audited means only that it is audited. Nobody forces the company/developers to act upon the findings of the audit... but still, technically it is true that they were audited even if the outcome of the audit was "haha, I wouldn't trust my used hanky on this"
