Research direction

Locate the simple pinlock contract example in the repository and read how the example is presented. Add a clear warning about the vulnerability and the bot-related risk so first-time learners understand the example is unsafe; done when the warning is visible alongside the contract.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Please add a warning in the simple pinlock contract example. Some asshole in the dev community decided to make a bot that is able to take advantage of the vulnerability in the contract. Kind of sucks for people trying to learn for the first time.

Thanks
