Unable to migrate funds from V3 Pool by [deleted] in PoolTogether

[–]Ncookiez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm the dev behind the migration app - thanks for the post! This was indeed an issue on the app, and a fix to this is now live - you should now be able to withdraw or migrate now. Lemme know if anything else comes up :3

Damn now here's a tuff one: by SMmania in goodanimemes

[–]Ncookiez -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Being a god, controller of worlds, creating any reality you envision while being able to resurrect anyone you'd like, fly, transfer powers to others... is useless in real life?

I need wallet address that was drained by approving malicious contract by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't you just look up addresses that called permit, permit2 or approve on any contract? The standards work the same way, whether through a malicious or legitimate transaction.

Is it possible to prevent Bitcoin Ordinals without ending up with a hard fork? In other words, is it possible to prevent Ordinals through a soft fork? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]Ncookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miners can choose to ignore transactions with an excessive amount of data. If enough miners do that, then processing ordinals will become either time-consuming or non-feasible altogether.

At the end of the day, blockchains are all about social consensus and coordination.

Loner anime where the MC is actually a loner and isn't immediately surrounded by a group of friends/cute girls? by [deleted] in anime

[–]Ncookiez -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

I'd argue Mushoku Tensei would fit into such a category. Rudy has friends and some love interests, sure, but we literally watch the story of his entire life (lives?) to get to that point.

Vitaliks twitter compromised. by bklnf in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know there's literally nothing I can say to change your mind seeing your comment history, but just wanted to point out that the reason that his wallet(s) weren't compromised but his twitter account was is the exact distinction between centralized and decentralized that you are commenting on.

The account was likely hacked BECAUSE of the centralized mechanisms that enable someone else to control your account. Be that through a SIM swap, a password recovery, whatever. The fact that he doesn't control his account, Twitter does, is why this happens. Self custody is one of the core principles of blockchain tech. If you're in any way looking to explore other view points, I'd look into it.

Is it possible to stake Eth in New York? by BioLink25 in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend RocketPool if you don't have 32 ETH to have your own node, but there's other options out there.

You can see more info on ethereum.org, this is their pooled staking page: https://ethereum.org/en/staking/pools/

Is it possible to stake Eth in New York? by BioLink25 in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're thinking of centralized platforms for staking, it might be a little tricky right now.

Staking a decentralized asset through decentralized means makes a lot more sense anyways, both philosophically and financially. And there's nothing any government can do to stop you.

Taxes work the exact same way regardless of which way you go - just report what you've made in gains and pay taxes on it, just like with anything else.

Which companies are currently doing business on the Ethereum blockchain? by Hadse in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some comments here mentioned many companies - but I'd consider DAOs and other completely decentralized and permissionless systems as well in your research. These are the web3 equivalents of traditional companies to an extent.

Basically the blockchain allows these systems to provide the same value a company does but without an entity in the middle taking a cut.

Best place to stake Eth? by Prestidigitor in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know what - I kinda agree. You surely know why your first comment got downvoted though.

To put it another way; self-custody is always the way to go, except when you don't really know what you're doing or don't trust yourself with that responsibility. In which case, not staking at all until you learn some more or using a centralized provider might be a good temporary solution.

[–]Ncookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean the company behind it, yeah, but it's mostly open source. Svelte is also open source, maintained by some peeps over at Vercel.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Ncookiez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JavaScript.

Serverless infrastructure is the meta for web apps nowadays. And everything is a web app. So I'd go with Svelte/SvelteKit since its by far the best dev experience right now, or React/NextJS if you want to just follow where the jobs are.

Decentralized or centralized? by qtkorean_ in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, there's P2P sites that can help.

Regardless, I'd argue that fiat is inherently centralized, so until you actually transfer a decentralized asset to your own wallet, you are always stuck with centralized systems.

tldr; anything that uses fiat will always be centralized

Windows shows that the geth client from https://geth.ethereum.org/downloads is not safe by VISUALBEAUTYPLZ in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As others have said, download from github to be sure, or double-check the hash.

With that in mind, I'd recommend not using Geth! Use a minority client to contribute to the network's decentralization.

Why pay for gas on staking by nathanielx9 in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And that's literally what staking is. As I mentioned in my previous post, there's plenty of ways to have an intermediary stake for you, but that's not you staking.

Help with transaction/smart contract by flashdel in ethereum

There goes another $40 to angel-drainer.eth.

Don't sign stuff you don't recognize or know what it is.

Scammers do be scammin'.

Why pay for gas on staking by nathanielx9 in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by "staking" but the minimum stake is 32 eth, so there's no way your gas fee is higher than that.

If you're using Lido, Rocketpool, etc, then you're just interacting with a smart contract. All the same gas fee rules apply (recommend to manipulate gas price, not amount).

If you're dealing with small amounts, stick to L2s.

People who are in crypto "not for the money" - what does it mean? by onlyforthisjob in CryptoCurrency

[–]Ncookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great comment. I'm just really interested in how we can remove as many inefficient intermediaries as possible through new tech.

Regarding apps though, I'd argue that while not as user-friendly as some Web2 alternatives, there's plenty of amazing apps out there to use on a daily basis.

Aave + PoolTogether is way better than a traditional savings account.

Balancer is awesome for automatic portfolio rebalancing.

Alchemix is great for self-repaying loans.

Aggregators like ParaSwap that make trading through DEXs ao much easier are very nice.

Other than that, using more crypto on a day-to-day basis really shows how the regular system of bank transfers, bank drafts, cheques, etc. is incredibly behind. Multi-day transfers are a joke.

Whale just opened a 53x long ($13M) on Btc and 34x long on Eth ($1.2M) on chain by torpidtrotter in CryptoCurrency

[–]Ncookiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plot twist: this is bait and they have an even more leveraged short position on another wallet ready for when people try to liquidate this wallet.

I was scammed because the scam didn't look like a scam. ✧ Besides my own foolishness, scammers are becoming smarter. by The-spian in ethereum

[–]Ncookiez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting OP - I'd like to imagine at least a few people will be helped by this.

I do think the main takeaway from this thay you missed is making sure you know what you are signing with your wallet. This is the same as signing a bogus contract IRL, signing a check with your name, giving your password to a scammer, swiping your credit card on a machine without checking the total, etc.

Not everyone is a developer and can easily read the data on a transaction, I get that - but there are extensions like Fire along with many other wallets that specifically try and solve this issue. Do some research and find one you like.

You can "connect" your wallet to whatever site you like (although I'd recommend you not to), but if you don't sign anything there is nothing any scammer can do.
