Off-topic*: Can I even visit untrusted websites anymore? Firefox's security is probably far worse than Chrome's, and escaping the browser sandbox now seems accessible to way too many people.

* Kind of on-topic given the last sentence of the article...

Anyone else confused with the timeline? Is it actually no bugs to working full chain in 6 days?

1. CEO announces goal in January.

2. Team took 2 months on first working full chain.

3. In August, they swap out 1 bug in the chain with a new one, weaponize in 6 days. Weaponization of 1 bug costs $40K in 5.6 sol token spend.

Is that it?
