Ubi also hosed up and used a marketplace where you can't buy anonymously so the cryptobros couldn't pump the price up with fake sales.

This seems to be the same reason the GBTC trust trades at a discount to the bitcoins it holds.

Turns out if you have to use your name and REAL MONEY to buy crypto, the price is complete garbage. If you get to wash trade and use "fully backed" stable coins, the price soars.

That part got me interested into checking out the technical details of how contracts are actually stored on the chain. Surely this kind of thing could be avoided if you just took some time to read through the actual contract.

However, because contracts are stored as instruction byte code, reading them is not easy. You can either look through a million opcodes, or try to decompile it. Trying to decompile the opensea openstore contract gave me this:

code:
I failed with these: 
#  - safeTransferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _id, uint256 _value, bytes _data)
Hopefully there's nothing in there about marbles, or letting someone else transferring tokens they don't own.

Also, the contract standard for tokens explicitly says that transfers can fail for whatever reason the issuers dreamed up, for "interesting results". So I just don't know about this whole thing about code being law, seems kind of complicated.

actually that's not decompiled (or you'd not have meaningful names), that's the result of the contract owner submitting the source code to etherscan or some other chain explorer website, and then the website compiles the source and checks that the bytecode matches what's on the network

it's not bad decompilation, it's just that the code is that confusing

So the end user of these tokens have no practical way of checking if the contract that they're "signing" actually is what the writer says it is? That's insane!

well you know how there are a zillion coins on the ethereum network like tether, elon and elontotallynotascam? eth the coin itself is in a different class than those coins so smart contracts have a harder time doing interactions between eth and all those coins

so someone wrote a smart contract that converts between "real" eth and "wrapped" eth coins that follow the standard all other coins use (ERC-20) so you can do stuff like lose all your tokens AND all your eth in one single transaction

basically what this dude did wrong was picking the "transfer" function call instead of the "withdraw" function call, and now the contract owns BOTH his real eth AND his wrapped fake eth

The colors thing reminds me of a failed blockchain project a while back, when bitlords were trying to push this revolutionary new computational model, where your programs on the chain call back to other programs as building blocks, and of course pay royalties for their use, all the way back to the "programs" that supply the bytes 0-255.

What was left unsaid is that ofc the founders wanted to own those programs and collect royalties for all computation anyone ever does, forever.

Just the laziest, dumbest rent seeking scheme ever.

no it wasn't bytes, it was individual bits, a single computer would just be asked, 1 or 0, and then it would all be combined together to form perfect blockchain generated code

Setting up an online marketplace where people can own unicode characters and send messages to each other and whenever they do they have to give royalties to the people who own all the characters they used. this is a revolutionary new blockchain venture in the field of monetisation. imagine, you could be the owner of the letter e and people will have to give you royalties every time they send a message using the letter e! which is something they will definitely do, a lot, because you see,
