Was bored so I dug up the major Hacker News threads about Bitcoin from 10 and 11 years ago, when it hit $100 and $10.

No surprise, the arguments/debates/discussions in those threads are the exact same ones you'll find in $BTC threads on HN today. Intrinsic value, crime, etc, smh

@BambouClub "мир" means both "peace" and "world", and in this case, when he goes on to say "Russia in it", it suggests he's using the latter meaning

@runtheirstops This is the other half of the sandwich: same guy, same block

2.8 ETH profit - 2.5 ETH in miner bribe - 0.25 ETH in gas, leaving him with 0.025 ETH net profit

Wonder what percentage of $GAS fell into the hands of people like me, who used to run bots to arbitrage minting and selling $CHI and $GST2.

Nice to have keepsakes beside all those screenshots of being on top of the "gas spenders" leaderboard. Not that I plan to "keep".

@sophismay @zmhh9 @bertcmiller The UNI airdrop is what taught me never to assume a contract won't have a token balance :)

Unfortunately, this vuln is not present on my old contracts that are eligible for the UNI airdrop, but don't have a withdrawToken method :(

[cryptoscopia @cryptoscopia]

@sophismay @zmhh9 @bertcmiller Yes, assuming I wanted to limit who could call that contract, which I didn't.

I think I didn't see this as a vuln at the time, because I knew the contract should never have a token balance.

In later contracts, I used an owner-modifiable mapping of token -> Uni pair instead.

@gakonst the word "wifi" wasn't really necessary in this tweet

@kermankohli @AaveAave @compoundfinance Every time I see a massive bank building I can't help but imagine Hans Gruber falling from it.

[cryptoscopia @cryptoscopia]

@dcinvestor Only partially true.

A lot (most?) of the blockspace is paid for by bots, who will pay as much gwei as it takes to win the gas auction while remaining profitable, which they measure in terms of ETH, not USD.

Price fluctuations do not affect how much gwei they are willing to pay

@banteg Based on this tweet, it looks like they *are* running their own nodes, and they are probably up-to-date. They just chose to shut things down when they noticed a divergence from Infura, because they weren't sure if they were on an orphan chain or not.

[cryptoscopia @cryptoscopia]

@lawmaster *If* this is true. I'd want to see more supporting evidence for a bold claim like that. And an explanation as to why my full node is running just fine without an upgrade.

[cryptoscopia @cryptoscopia]

With @infura_io and gas prices down, I'm seeing a flurry of new pending transactions to mint $CHI.

Do people not realise that at any given time (including now) you can just buy $CHI for the same price as it costs to mint it?

All without needlessly clogging up the network, too.

@AutismCapital $UTNP (Universa). I really thought it would become some sort of official blockchain of Russia backed by Putin.

[cryptoscopia @cryptoscopia]

@EdgarArout Good to hear it wasn't used as a pig sty - maybe there's hope.

But then again, there's the story of the khachkars in Nakhichevan, so maybe there isn't.

[cryptoscopia @cryptoscopia]

@EdgarArout Did we take good care of their cultural artefacts during the occupation, so we can ask them in good faith to return the favour?

Not trolling - I honestly don't know.

[cryptoscopia @cryptoscopia]

@ChrisBlec You're looking at things from the perspective that what children learn *in* the classroom is more consequential than the social skills they acquire *outside* the classroom. Believing the latter makes it hard to agree with you.

Current total volume: $38,087,594

That's 38% to $100m target in the 30 days since launch on 10 OCT.

10 OCT + 100/38*30 days = 26 DEC

Plus 6 months for tokens to fully unlock = 26 MAY 2021

/cc @HegicOptions

[cryptoscopia @cryptoscopia]

If you're buying $HEGIC to hold long-term, you may want to consider buying $rHEGIC at 34% of the price instead.

At the current rate, they will be fully redeemable 1:1 for HEGIC before the 26th of May, 2021.
