I liked that book and a lot of the concepts, but somehow I misread the title as "Seveneyes" and never really got why the gently caress it was called that until I figured out the actual title in the last act. Ohhhhhh. That makes more sense.

i tried to bring up crypto to some cousins at a family barbecue, and my 9 year old son dropped a miniature baseball bat out of his sleeve and instantly beamed it into my jaw, shattering my teeth. i started choking on the fragments, and my aunt, a RETIRED DENTIST, held my lower jaw open and poured outdoor wood glue into my mouth until i stopped vocalizing. how can i get them to understand blockchain?

tried to get a friend to listen about crypto while we were enjoying soft serve in the park. he took the cone and crammed it so hard into my mouth my ears popped in some painful new way and i'm now partially deaf. later the park warden found me and beat me mercilessly with a hazel rod. i had already poo poo myself. i do feel though that i bested them both logically and they're just scared of progress

Lol all of these “open letter to the hacker” post-mortems have the exact same modus operandi - suck up to the hacker and simultaneously crow about the legal hell that awaits them once they bring the full force of the CIA, FBI, DEA and U.S. Coast Guard down upon them. They know they have no chance of getting their shitcoins back if the hacker doesn’t play ball, and no recourse with the authorities either, so they just desperately flail around impotently.

Elias_Maluco posted:I have to admit I feel very dumb and old cause I’ve read this whole thing and I understood absolutely nothing and I don’t even know the meaning of half the terms used *deep breath* okay. so Optimism is an L2 blockchain, which as I mentioned in an earlier post, tries to not make transactions in cryptocurrency dogshit slow by completely deferring writing into the main blockchain, (L1) (e.g Ethereum Blockchain, Bitcoin Blockchain) and instead only periodically sending transactions updating the total amounts that are in the L2 blockchain. the gist of it is.. a gnosis safe is basically a more secured smart contract that allows you to authorize transactions only if multiple people agree to engage a transaction. think of those safes that require two people to turn a key at the same time. if neither key is present or one person refuses to go through with the deal, the smart contract won't authorize it. gnosis safes are basically just more advanced and offers more functionality. what happened was, the optimism people wanted a private key from wintermute, he told them to use the gnosis safe that was deployed on L1 (ethereum blockchain) thinking they could also access the money on L2 (optimism blockchain). So they transferred it and then realized the mistake that there wasn't a gnosis safe created on L2. While they were trying to figure out what to do to make sure they could access the money.. someone way smarter than them realized wintermute's mistake and took advantage of it by basically creating a new smart contract that looked exactly like the gnosis safe contract, except all the ownership was changed to the hacker's credentials so the hacker now had access to the money in the safe because the hacker's multisig matched wintermute's multisig on L1. he then took all the money that was in the gnosis safe and transferred it back to L1 using 2 bridges. bridges basically just convert different cryptocurrencies that are on different L2 blockchains. once he got it back on the ethereum blockchain (L1) he washed it in tornado cash (which is a tumbler) Strong Sauce fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Jun 9, 2022 |

My impression of all these crypto schemes is it's a bunch of people a bit smarter than average failing to understand technology made by people much smarter than average and at the same time failing to understand that financial infrastructure needs to work even when most of the users are much dumber than average

so who wants to join me in rug-pulling some lovely Neal Stephenson fans??? i bet elon musk is a huge stephenson fan. i actually enjoyed the first hundred or so pages of Termination Shock, but then it became clear that he wasn't trying to write the most absurd self-parody of all time and he would not shut up about the norweigan MILF being horny. it almost seemed like deflection, like "guys look, i think middle aged women are sexy too, i promise" but that is, of course, undercut by the fact that said MILF kept discussing her horniness with, and i can't stress enough that i am not making this up, her 16 year old daughter

This feels like the "well if you're so smart, why don't you explain crypto," when it's a bunch of gibberish dressed up as various hacks to disguise the essential unusability of the underlying tech, which unreasonably requires "decentralization" but self-defeats by centralizing at several key points anyway.

The problem is always going to be evolving innovative software solutions inevitably have exploitable flaws. The real strength of traditional banking infrastructure is their position as a heavily regulated middle-man between the end user and the big piles of money.

They will all be laid off in the next 6-12 months. All these crypto startups are flush with cash based on valuations they will never reach. The mass layoffs happening right now in tech are a preview of an even bigger web3 startup massacre. Hell coinbase is already rescinding offers.
