This is a long Reddit post, so you'd be forgiven for not reading it, but the long and short of it is that Neopets (which is apparently somehow still extant) announced a team-up with some shady fly-by-night company to sell NFTs using art from a fan-made dress-up image generator, and their community (which is apparently somehow still extant) has been actively kicking them in the face over it and arguing with crypto weirdos every day since.

Unfortunately you would first have to pay a crypto fool to create the token, and then find a bigger one who will pay you more than it cost.

It refers to the Warlock spell Siphon Life in WoW, which is a DoT+Drain Life but iirc they never removed the samage component because, uh, it drained the percent fo the damage dealth so maybe that was some BS. Anyone who played WoW after 2006 might confirm or deny that.

Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): The Siphon Life spell has been removed. Siphon Life now causes your Corruption spell to instantly heal you for 40% of the damage done.

I quit around that time but I remember there was a change that would break the channeling if the target took any damage (like Corruption), but I could be remembering it wrong or I had quit before whatever that nerf was.

E: yeah, I was definitely gone before that update hit. Still pretty funny that someone would be so upset by a nerf but people were loving WEIRD about WoW.

I haven't thought about it in forever, but when I was a kid S&H Greenstamps were still a thing. I remember my Mom saving stamps in these little booklets she could trade in for Tupperware or a toaster or whatever.

https://mashable.com/article/compound-ceo-asks-for-money-back-defi-bug

quote:

Now Compound's founder is begging those users to return around $90 million, or around 280,000 COMP, that mistakenly went out. And he's taking the ask a step further by threatening users who don't return the money.

Compound and other DeFi protocols basically work as blockchain-based banks, allowing users to borrow money and take out loans. The platform, in turn, rewards lenders with its native COMP token.

On Wednesday, the service released an upgrade and that's when things went downhill.

quote:

However, if these users do not give up their newfound riches, Leshner says that Compound will report the income to the IRS to be taxed. Furthermore, he warned users that they would be doxxed, meaning their personal information would be made public.

guys if you don't give me back my crypto that i gave to you by mistake due to a programming error, i will report your income to the IRS and dox you.. OR you can keep 10% *wink* *wink*...

quote:

For one thing, regardless of whether the Compound users decide to keep all the COMP tokens or just the 10 percent, they still have to report their earnings and pay taxes on them. Whether Leshner meant to imply this or not, it appears as if he's saying that the IRS doesn't need to know about the 10 percent a user keeps if they return the rest.

Double lmao at the ~*threats*~ of IRS and doxxing.

-Hello IRS, I have received a large sum of money in crypto and here is the CGT file for my self assessment, enjoy your 20% without lifting a finger.

-Understandable, have a nice day.

But, then again anyone deep into crypto probably dumdum enough to try to skirt the taxman and get in trouble regardless.

I would assume (depending on the jurisdiction, anyway) that the recipients could be sued to return the COMP regardless, seeing as they erroneously received it and there's no title/consideration. I expect that Leshner isn't really willing to spend money on lawyers to get all that sorted out, though - and also he might just be so severely brain-poisoned by crypto that the lack of regulation and extreme unreliability of crypto-oriented services has convinced him that there are no legal remedies available. Whatever the reasons:

Not even, it would be like if the ring gollum had was merely a piece of paper with note to where one can find an etching of the original one ring in the library of Minas Tirith. In this scenario, Gollum also spent enough money on this he was reduced to living in a cave from poverty.
