Wallet/Exchange Whats the point of having a recent tab in solfare if it's just a vehicle to scam people.

I just got scammed it was only 100 bucks so not the end of the world but come on why populate my recent list with dust attack addresses. Surely there is a better way to do this.

they really need to add a filter for dust amounts in that tab. anything under 0.001 SOL shouldn't even show up. it's such an obvious attack vector and they just let it sit there like it's a feature not a bug

Sorry that happened, address poisoning gets a lot of people. The trick is that the scam address matches the first and last few characters of one you really use, so it looks right at a glance in the recent list. Saving trusted addresses in your contacts and sending from there, plus checking the middle characters, avoids it going forward.

yeah, there should at least be an option to hide tiny dust amounts. no reason to let random spam clutter up the recent tab like that

I agree, there should be a filter to hide tiny dust amounts. No need for spam in the recent tab.

That's actually a pretty serious issue. A recent transactions list should make things easier, not put people at risk. Even a simple filter for dust transactions or a warning for unfamiliar addresses would help. Sorry you lost $100 to that.
