The whale exited at least twelve days before Solend realized there was a problem — when SOL dropped in price and the interest on the loan came due. Now the depositors can’t get their USDC out of Solend. And Solend can’t sell off the SOL without crashing the price.

Solend quickly created a DAO, and passed two proposals to just take the SOL the whale had left behind. They just passed a third DAO proposal, to limit the size of loans to $50 million in future. This doesn’t stop someone from taking out multiple loans.

All three proposals were pushed over the line by a single voter with over 80% of the governance token. Why bother with the DAO? They could just ask that guy what he wants to do. [Solend]

The same scam was pulled on Vires Finance on Waves on Tuesday — a big holder put up illiquid WAVES tokens as collateral to borrow liquid stablecoins. Vires was looted for $540 million in USDC and USDT from suckers attracted by unfeasible interest rates on staked stablecoins. [Reddit]

...

Here’s a pile more juicy suckers, ripe for the looting. [Twitter]

Who would of guessed that the absence of credit checks would result in grifters figuring out they can take out loans they never intend to repay using worthless assets as collateral? Not me, that's for sure.

actually its good that million-dollar loan disbursements happen algorithmically and without needing a single human to click a single solitary button to allow them to happen, because

slack owns, sure make everything threads nested in channels, and also you can only view one thread in the sidebar at a time, there's no way anyone would need to reference two threads at once, and also it has the great feature where hitting the "back" browser button maybe closes a thread? who knows what happens!

at least in our company slack people generally only get mad at you for responding to something in a thread

we just have radical thread anarchy, where some people will use threads, some won't, and some will respond to a post in a channel in a thread, then the response to the reply will be in the channel.

(also I work for a ucaas company so the fact that we use slack is double lol)

hilariously our fare tokens, while still a valid way to pay a fare, are now collectible and rare enough to be worth significantly more than the fare.

make sure you get the applied mathematics one

the pure math one is women bent into impossible shapes and groups of women with 0 women in them and extremely long proofs that topless women exist and arguing if you can cut a woman into infinitely small pieces and then make two women out of that. it's loving creepy

there was some late 19th or early 20th century mathematician, i forget who exactly, who said he explicitly worked on number theory because it's not useful for anything therefore it's not gonna be used in war or to hurt people or make the world a worse place in general

cryptography's all based on number theory and by extension so is cryptocurrency and the massive waste of resources that accompany it. whoops
