Re: smart contracts
tl; dr
As far as a non-developer's understanding goes,
the justification for a smart contract is:
it's "unalterable" because it's a piece of code ...
except if it is a proxy smart contract, it can be upgraded, disabled, or revoked.
I cannot find a requirement or standard practice that you, the user, should be notified if the smart contract is a proxy smart contract, or if you must be notified if the smart contract is upgraded.
So:
I personally find this as distasteful as a website who changes their privacy policy about how they use your data.
They expect you to read through the entire privacy policy to see what has changed. Who does that?
Even I gave up on that long ago.
So, sure, the change is "transparent".
Effectively, though? These Web2 practices can trap you with their stickiness and change terms on you to benefit themselves and not you. At least they're required to notify you.
It seems to me smart contracts benefit from all the stickiness and claims of even more transparency, but have this loophole where they can subtly change the pointer to a new smart contract without being required to notify you.
Do I have that right? "Transparency" without accountability?
If I'm right, I don't think smart contract developers are using "transparency and immutable" the way their buyers think it means.
That kind of shenanigans makes me mad.
So I'm ok if you tell me I'm wrong, or at least this practice is the exception - because I think it's widespread and pretty dodgy.
Maybe there's something I'm missing.

This is how all the crypto accounts are getting hacked on X @elonmusk . 👀
Scammers say they are with @blockworks , @Forbes or @bankless and want to interview you. (In this instance they offered me $1200)
Once you respond they send a calendly link which brings you to a page that LOOKS like calendly, but you have to connect your twitter to use it. 😬
Then they're in and have hacked your account.
What's worse, these scammers wont use your account immediately. They will wait for the perfect time for when they can make money or do the most damage
I wouldnt be surprised if this is what happened with the @SECGov account.
Be vigilant! Don't connect to weird sites, block @sanpek_eth and trust your gut!
PS: I was baiting this person in the message... but they blocked me after I said I booked the call and don't know why it's not showing for them. LMAO
Navigating "corporate speak" isn't easy.
Here's a helpful guide I put together:
"Let me check with my team" = No
"Possibly" = No
"On my roadmap" = Not happening
"This will be done in Q4" = This will be done in Q2 next year
"Disagree and commit" = I hate you
"Per my last email" = Try reading, for once in your life
"Challenging landscape" = We're going out of business, quickly
"Digital transformation" = We're going out of business, slowly
"Let's circle back" = We'll never speak of this again
"Take it offline" = We'll never speak of this again
"30,000 foot view" = I don't know what I'm saying
"Low hanging fruit" = Easy promotion
"Open up the kimono" = HR violation
"We use AI" = We don't use AI
"We use machine learning" = We don't use machine learning
"All hands on deck" = Let's actually try for once, please

what else?
Welp, THIS is fun.
TLDR if you use SMS-based 2FA, you need to get Google Authenticator, Authy, or another app-based 2FA IMMEDIATELY. Yubikey (hardware security key) is also fine.
🚨If you are someone who uses text messages for 2FA, this means YOU, ASAP!

[🚨] Scamming just got worse as a result of yet another terrible @Twitter update. Scammers now look more trustworthy (impersonating others) and spend 50 times less money because they don't purchase verified, hacked profiles but rather use stolen credit cards and pay $8 instead.
