WARNING!
I frankly do not know what kind of evil and inhumanity this video depicts, but it shakes you to the core.
It appears a dead Palestinian man, probably murdered, is lying on the street, and a group of Israelis essentially torture his body while laughing. They slowly run him over with their, going back and forth over his body.
No words.
A major dapp on polkadot got hacked today
11 days ago, an hacker made a test tx on the bridge
a major lesson to learn from this is to immediately hire an audit team once hackers interact with your protocol
won’t be the first time hackers make text tx before hacking a protocol
In 2010, this website would give away 5 #Bitcoin per visitor for free.
5 #BTC is worth $334,000 today.
Jack Dorsey's Block is now launching a faucet in two days to give out free bitcoin 👀
Saw some people panicking or asking about quantum computing's impact on crypto.
At a high level, all crypto has to do is to upgrade to Quantum-Resistant (Post-Quantum) Algorithms. So, no need to panic. 😂
In practice, there are some execution considerations. It's hard to organize upgrades in a decentralized world. There will likely be many debates on which algorithm(s) to use, resulting in some forks.
And some dead project may not upgrade at all. Might be a good to cleanse out those projects anyway.
New code may introduce other bugs or security issues in the short term.
People who self custody will have to migrate their coins to new wallets.
This brings to the question of Satoshi's bitcoins. If those coins move, then it means he/she is still around, which is interesting to know. If they don't move (in a certain period of time), it might be better to lock (or effectively burn) those addresses so that they don't go to the first hacker who cracks it. There is also the difficulty of identifying all his addresses, and not confuse with some old hodlers. Anyway, it's a different topic for later.
Fundamentally:
It's always easier to encrypt than decrypt.
More computing power is always good.
Crypto will stay, post quantum.
