RE: Another Crackdown on Crypto Privacy

totally get your point about the green LEO ticker. for anyone skimming a market page, that overlap can trigger a wrong buy, and the lessons are expensive :/ my accountant brain likes neat labels, so ticker collisions are a headache and it don't help newcomers. a small note in promos or clearer wording would defintely reduce mixups, especially since we already had that old confusion with the mining company name. nice catch :)

Especially nowadays when LEO is going up and is being pushed outward, the possibility of confusion is very high, since I suspect many newcomers would check CMC or Coingecko and the first one they find is the one from Bitfinex. Since it's very high on the market cap, that will inspire trust too and they will buy, likely from an exchange where it's the only one listed (so, they won't even see there is another LEO token).
Yeah, this is defintely the risk right now, Bitfinex’s LEO ranks high so CMC or CoinGecko shows it first and newcomers assume that’s the one.
Given there market cap and brand, it looks legit and they’ll buy on an exchange where it’s the only LEO, never seeing the Hive one.
For promos we should spell out Hive LEO in the title, add the Hive icon, and link the exact token page on Hive Engine or LeoDex, so people knows they’re in the right place :).
Worth adding a tiny disclaimer too, like not the Bitfinex token.
You think that keeps most folks safe?
Tbh, I'm not sure how many people read into the details so much. Hivers pretty much know it's LEO on HE. Non-Hivers would probably find it easier a link to LeoDex, since they have many options to connect there with their own wallet.
yeah, a direct LeoDex link is the win, and write Hive LEO in the title so scanners do not mix it with Bitfinex.
That also helps non Hivers since they can connect with their own wallet there'.
Add a tiny note not the Bitfinex LEO plus the exact ticker LEO on HE, and you kill most confuison :)
Can we standardize that across posts and promo pages?
On Leodex, it's Arbitrum LEO, not Hive-Engine LEO, so that wouldn't be correct. Hive-Engine LEO (or heLEO as it's referred to nowadays) it's a wrapped token now, not the main one.
