Haters mad. Most coins in crypto are down today. 3 of these are not. Haters, we're not losing, we're winning. We're not getting weaker, we're getting stronger. LOOK AT THE CHARTS! #HEX
@TheCharlesDowns This is the perfect example of why these people are nuts. It's like losing a football game and blaming the refs were enforcing the rules.
#Ethereum I'm here to protect you from scams again. Scammers want to trick you into sending to their scam addresses. Here's one you might not have seen yet.
1. Create a new address with the same starting and ending characters as a real address that you've sent to.
2. Make a fake transaction so that etherscan shows as thought you actually sent to their fake address before. They copy the last send's value, and name of token (but it's a fake token, so usually grayed out with no logo showing in etherscan.)
3. Do this to lots of addresses and wait for people to fall for it.
Why does this trick work? Because people trust what etherscan showed them, instead of using their own history stored locally. Because they didn't use a test transaction and confirm with the other party, or yourself, whatever might see the real balance of the real token at the real address. Because showing just the starting and ending characters of an address is basically harmful if scammers can just create addresses of their own with the same start and end and only the middle characters are different.
This is where devs can do better, by showing the start, end and middle. Basically, the idea of "fingerprint." Being used to make more human identifiable one long string from a different long string has been around a long time. For example, when you click the lock certificate and inspect an SSL security certificate. A simple fix would be to show some middle characters for now as well.
Shut down the FBI. And yes, this is much more practical than it sounds:
The FBI has a ~35,842 person staff. 56% of the bureau that are professional bureaucrats should be fired immediately. Just 44% of FBI employees are special agents & intelligence analysts—these 15,770 specialists should be reassigned to serve under the narrow focus of other federal law enforcement agencies doing the same specialist work.
Reassignments:
US Marshals Service (821 specialists/analysts transferred)
- Crimes against children
Department of Defense
- Counter-intelligence > Defense Intelligence Agency (4,159 specialists/analysts transferred)
Department of Homeland Security (4,663 specialists/analysts transferred)
- National Security
- Terrorism
US Secret Service (856 specialists/analysts transferred)
- Political corruption
Department of Justice, within a specialized sub-agency rather than a sprawling investigative bureaucracy (2,555 specialists/analysts transferred)
- Civil rights
- Organized crime
- Violent crime
- Science & Technology, including crime laboratory analysis across agencies
Department of the Treasury
- White collar crime > Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (856 specialists/analysts transferred)
#Bitcoin, Richard Heart was right again. Enjoy this 47 minute clip and be inspired. You're part of a revolution that is changing the world. Real cryptocurrency and decentralized finance are the durable solution to frauds such as Sam Bankman Fried and the constant and never ending erosion of the purchasing power of "your" money by irresponsible government spending.
