Its my theory that no bitcoin has ever been stolen buy an actual hack, its all backdoors all the way down. There's the odd time where a hacker poking around manages to find the back door and use it before the owner wanted to, but its still all by design.

Last night a new Dan Harmon show called Krapopolis premiered on Fox. It's an NFT cartoon. NFT holders get to vote on elements of the show and all that dumb bullshit. Fox has proudly announced that Episode 1 is the highest-watched comedy telecast of 2023 so far with 3.6 million first day viewers: https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/krapopolis-premiere-ratings-viewers-1235734456/ The thing they're not proudly announcing is that the second episode aired immediately after the first and literally 50% of viewers did not stick around for the second episode, which had 1.8 million viewers. The official subreddit, /r/Krapopolis/, has 207 subscribers and managed a whopping 23 comments and 11 upvotes for the first episode discussion thread. The second episode discussion thread has 3 comments. The NFTs cost about $150 each. Of the 10,000+ NFTs (called Krap Chickens) in the collection, approximately 3000 of them were minted, with around 1350 unique owners.

I watched the first episode without realizing it was an NFT thing. Most shows have a shaky first episode or two but are worth sticking out to see if they improve. This is not one of those. It's just bad.

Sometimes I scroll too far on a streaming service and end up in a category of utterly undifferentiable adult-targeted cartoons from the last 10-ish years that I have never loving heard of. This would be another in that category but I actually saw a commercial for it once, in a bar, so I guess I have heard of it.

Maybe it's a British thing or something where they do their bank accounts different? Nah, it's just the same as everywhere, but as we own most of the banks we get subjected to new scams first. People are fairly savvy for the most part, but on a million scale there will always be few people who get suckered. Account for the bills. Account for living. Account for "who know what". If you are lucky and have something left over? Account for retirement. Strictly in that order. Those "oopsie we our money in your account" scams are spear fishing bastards that target pensioners, and should be shot.

Fox have been heavily pushing this show on their NFL broadcasts for weeks and I'm sure the numbers got a nice boost from it being on immediately after the games. I realise that ad spots (especially football ones) are always going to push the dumbest parts of a show but it looked absolutely dire. Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry deserve better.

One of the big points of the strikes is that streaming services are variously insisting they have no idea how many views their shows get (an obvious lie) or must keep it super duper secret except to their shareholders, to screw writers and actors out of residuals.

tango alpha delta posted:The Loch Ness Monster is more real than the value of NFTs and all cryptocurrencies combined Honestly, if you count the amount of tourism the myth generates for the local economy, it probably does. Bitcoin and NFT's are a net drain if you exclude the profit from outright theft that they're primarily designed to enable. Not to mention the energy costs.

He claims to be way into BBBY but never actually shows how much he has invested, and I guarantee that on the off chance he has invested more than a pittance it is still less than 1% of what he makes with the stream.

rydiafan posted:I don't understand. Okay, so this claytons thing - what it did was establish the rule that accounts are first in, first out: imagine a pipe that's exactly 10 golf balls long. If you put a new ball in, one of the existing ones pops out. You still have 10 balls in the pipe, but one of them is the new one, not the one you started with. You spent/transferred that one. Ed: okay, this is neat, there's researchers doing Claytons on stolen Bitcoin: https://www.wired.com/story/bitcoin-blockchain-fifo-dirty-coins/ quote:When the researchers tried out their FIFO analysis on Bitcoin's actual blockchain, they found that in massive thefts—like the 2012 heist that took 46,653 bitcoins from the cloud provider Linode, or the 2014 theft of 896 bitcoins from bitcoin "bank" Flexcoin—they could create far tidier answers about where those stolen coins ended up than the haircut method could. Using the FIFO method, they linked the Linode haul to fractions of tainted bitcoins at around 372,000 addresses, compared with 2.7 million tainted bitcoins with the haircut method. (The latter number would mean a single theft had tainted nearly 5 perceent of the whole blockchain, the researchers point out.) For the Flexcoin attack, they traced fractions of the stolen coins to just 18,000 accounts, compared with 1.4 million using the haircut system.
