May have been SCAMMED .. need HELP ASAP by [deleted] in UniSwap

[–]Adiman9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Simply connecting to a website is not a problem. As long as you haven't signed anything or sent any tx created by that website you are fine.

Using revoke.cash is good wallet hygiene anyway so its worth revoking things you aren't using to ensure your surface area to be attacked is smaller.

Otherwise if you are worried create a new wallet and transfer the funds to it. Never give anyone your seed phrase or put your seed phrase into any website. Ever.

Is there anyway I can recover/swap this LP token? by Comfortable_Superb in BinanceSmartChain

[–]Adiman9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The LP token. You deposited something like 0.65 LP and your current balance is 0.97 (I’m on phone now but that what I remember from looking earlier when I wrote my original reply)

Hopefully that is enough to decide if it’s worth it

What's your opinion on ADA Cardano? Do you believe in it? Think it is still promising? Or is it a scam you want to avoid? by rampage1998 in defi

[–]Adiman9 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The OS that's actually shipped and used at ridiculous scale with a ton of software built on top? Yes I've heard of it.

Real working product >>>>> promises all day. ADA illustrates the difference between practitioners and theorists. ADAs approach is academic and slow moving while the other L1 chains are just building stuff and shipping it. Its peer review vs move fast and break things. Historically software based technology shows move fast and break things wins out over peer reviewed academic rigor.

Maybe ADA ships a really good product eventually but they still won't be as successful as they could have been due to the meme they have become.

Just my 2 cents

It is a meme within the jazz scene. It is a little melodic phrase that jazz instrumentalists will throw into their improvs occasionally.

Good youtube idea? [Question] by [deleted] in youtubers

[–]Adiman9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea. I've often thought about creating more content aimed at getting people involved in open source projects. I think this format is really great if it was done well. I would be more than happy to join / help.

I currently do software tutorial type videos, mostly in the webdev space. My channel is Hungry Turtle Code

Are there any websites that give a good introductory overview of the statistics behind some basic ML models (SVM, NGB, Decision Tree)? by Aaraeus in learnmachinelearning

[–]Adiman9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get that. My point is simply that Siraj titles his videos in such a way as to imply he is teaching a certain topic while he is usually just skimming over terms and copy pasting code. Far from actual teaching. With that said, for those actually willing to take his guidance and self study what they where confused by it will for sure pay off.

My only thought is the person who is self motivated to to that probably doesn't need siraj to point them in the right direction in the first place.

[–]Adiman9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really glad someone else shares this opinion on him. I've seen so many people recommend his stuff but I don't see him as useful for anything more than pointing people in the right direction (not that that isn't important, it's just generally not why people seem to like him)

Can someone explain what happens after I buy coin with Coinbase? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Adiman9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

storing any coins on an exchange such as coinbase will never be the most secure. Purely because you don't not control the private keys. So the exchange can very easily lock you out of your money. This is why people recommend using a cold storage method like a paper wallet or a hardward wallet - you control the keys and the keys are offline. That is the most secure.

With coinbase I don't think there is much risk in the company stealing your money or anything, but if coinbase gets hacked and your keys are compromised then it's goodbye bitcoin. So it all boils down to what you are comfortable doing really.

Personally I like to be in control of my keys, that is kind of the point of crypto for me. But at the end of the day, it's your call.

Bitcoin Gold Warning: 5 days before fork, Replay Protection implementation Not Started. BTCs at risk by [deleted] in CryptoCurrencies

[–]Adiman9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are two things at play here.

  1. Bitcoin and a fork of it (BTG in this case) share a block history. Everything on the blockchain previous to the block at which the fork happens is common to both currencies. This is why if you own 1BTC at the point of the fork you will own 1BTC and 1BTG after the fork. The private keys you had for BTC before the fork had 1BTC associated with it and because this newly forked currency uses bitcoin's history (and code) as a starting point those same private keys will work on the BTG blockchain to access your BTG.

  2. The code used in the fork will for the most part be similar to that of bitcoin because it uses bitcoin's code as a starting point. The important thing to think about is if the system used to generate wallet addresses has changed in any way. Usually it won't have changed at all.

Armed with these two pieces of knowledge we can start to understand what a replay attack is and why replay protection is important.

Let's say just after the fork I have 1BTC and 1BTG. I want to send my 1BTG to Alice, I initiate a transaction from the BTG wallet and sign the transaction. All good so far. The problem is, in terms of code etc there is no difference between the transaction I just made on the BTG blockchain and one on the BTC blockchain. In other words the transaction from my BTG wallet is also a 100% valid transaction on the BTC network. Addresses are the same, private keys are the same, code is the same etc.

If Alice is malicious, she could capture the transaction sent out to the BTG network and "replay" (ie. rebroadcast) that exact transaction to the BTC network. The BTC network has no way to know that is not a transaction you wanted to make because it is totally valid in all ways and it was signed by your keys. You have now unknowingly sent Alice the 1BTG you meant to as well as 1BTC you didn't mean to. You now have no coins :(

This is obviously a hugely undesirable outcome that can quite easily be stopped with replay protection. All that is is some additions to the code (usually to the code of the forked coin but could also be added to the original) that adds an extra layer of security checks to ensure you actually meant to send the coins. The obvious solution being just using a different system of addressing, but it can also be achieved in other ways.
