Have they removed the ability to spam Eth with undeleteable adverts yet?

Wait so ETH isn't even a commodity or a currency, it's also some kind of chat platform that can be spammed? Holy gently caress

Holy gently caress It's basically everything you would expect from a fresh comp sci grad with no production experience. "Build us a simple info website, HTML5 will do, there's no active content" "Ok, I'll build it in Erlang and also write a custom markup language for the content and implement a custom messaging layer for future proofing."

Is "In some situations, the optimizer replaces certain numbers in the code with routines that compute different numbers" too long for a username? What if we rewrite the forum in Solidarity?

Sadly, only these sorts of people have the ego to become maintainers on projects so virtually everything is written and documented by this kind of person. You spend two weeks on their documentation site trying to figure out how the hell something works, and finally give up and Google it and StackOverflow points out that oh yeah that never worked here's a way around it. The weirder and more rare your code is (Eth), the less busy people you have posting those tips on StackOverflow, so major oversights and bugs just go undocumented until someone breaks the whole system and runs off with all the AEMINAL posted:[If you are still HODL] you are that loving stupid you deserve getting scammed

Wait, this whole time I just assumed the scam was getting idiots to send their monopoly money to a specific address which promises to pay them back (never happens of course). Is the scam actually "hey put your credentials into this webform and we'll drain your wallet"? Because goddamn, how many alarm bells do you need?

I'm the guy who encounters at least the third Elon Musk Twitter crypto giveaway this month and immediately dumps a double-digit sum of my early withdrawn 401k into it.

I read it as people being able to just straight-up hack Eth transactions and send money to arbitrary accounts. I consider this scenario so likely that I didn't bother digging for context.

I think the address he sent money to was a smart contract, and that's why it forwarded to some other wallet address? I hate looking this poo poo up on google, because then my phone newsfeed starts filling up with crypto bullshit "news" sites. Google is absolutely fine with "5 reasons this this coin is about to go to the moon!" type boiler-room pump and dumps paying them to advertise it seems.

There's so many articles on how "all millennials have favorable outlooks towards crypto" It's loving insane because someone who is moderately online and isn't taken in by blatant obvious scams/does not aspire to acquire ketamine on the internet, will realize that the only use for crypto is drugs and scams.

I was shocked as heck when some of my highly educated coworkers started talking about wanting to invest a few thousand or more into bitcoin right near its peak. They had heard from similar aged relatives or old college buddies that got in early how it was "easy money! the next big thing!"

Yeah I know people who cash out hundreds of dollars at a time into quarters to find the 12 that have silver. And people who think amassing refrigerator boxes full of cans before humping a beater rig 2 hours away to a recycle plant. And half a dozen other schemes among "smart" Millenials/Boomers/Gen Xers. Turns out every facet of our population is stupid and doesn't actually like working for money.

They had heard from similar aged relatives or old college buddies that got in early how it was "easy money! the next big thing!" Young adults are young. Getting hyped by a get rick quick scam, or watching a relative/friend do it, is how you train your bullshit detector. "People said the same things about email!" sounds like a compelling argument the first time you hear it. Oh yeah, some people poo-pooed home computers, cell phones, email, etc. People also poo-pooed a lot of other 'innovative' poo poo that went nowhere. Remember in 2001 when Seqway was going to totally revolutionize personal transportation, except it was dumb, expensive, and impractical? In 1999 the Cue Cat barcode scanner was supposed to be a big deal, except it was incredibly stupid? Peek, an email only device which was one of Time magazine's 50 best inventions of 2008. Laserdisc. Qwikster. Nokia N-Gage. Web TV. Smell-o-Vision. Atari Jaguar. Dreamcast. Gizmondo. CD-i. It turns out "people don't like Thing" is not a compelling argument that Thing is actually good and will inevitably take over the world.

It's the equivalent of getting an email from elonmusk@tesla.com but it spoofs to elonmusk@spoofsite.ru and believing the address change is ok because ???Etherium??? ???smart contracts??? They don't know how it works but just roll with the obvious spoof. And it's NotElon because just like that Nigerian Prince he's got the money he just needs access to your Etherium wallet to move money without those dastardly Feds knowing, he'll pay you back double, promise!
