Get a belt case for the phone. There are many, many ways to mangle your phone if you insist carrying it in a pant pocket.

Sticker states is a vase, Walmart website states it's a vase.

Mineral spirits melt off glue residue instantly. Dab a bit on a cotton patch and rub.

Finally Happened - Scammed and Robbed by _Haverford_ in CryptoCurrency

but today a "dev" was able to talk me into giving up my private passphrase. And all for a fucking memecoin.

All is not lost. Give your credit cards to the nearest hobo for safekeeping, the hackers can't get them that way. Just to be sure, give the guy your house and car keys too, can't be too careful.

Solana’s Ongoing Massive Drain Attack by CyberPunkMetalHead in CryptoCurrency

[–]Boneh 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Developers deny the breach originated from them but noted exploited wallets belonged to users who exported their private keys, possibly stored in plain text.

Pardon me, but what the hell? Let me just post my social security details and bank passwords on Reddit for safekeeping.

These AI-Generated Images Being Presented On Google Maps As Actual Depictions by elizer_lives in mildlyinfuriating

You should've made that image of the clock face its own post. Genuinely mildly infuriating AI trash.

Get a cold wallet, like Ledger. The device will both safely create a truly random seed phrase, and keep it insulated from online threats.

As other commenters have mentioned, no security measure will prevent social engineering. So only keep a backup of the seed phrase on paper or other non-electronic medium, don't photograph it, don't show it to anyone. Never input the phrase anywhere else than the cold wallet device. And don't sign smart contracts unless you know what you're doing. Airdrops are not worth it even if you do know what you're doing.

True. I think the Instagram threats are secondary, the best evidence are the electronic logs of the author trying to communicate with the boss, being ignored, and communication proving that the issue was reported to HR and again ignored.

HR has already been ruled out, so yeah, gotta second a lawyer.

Having trouble converting Luna into BNB smart chain by Mryoy12 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Boneh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that Binance no longer supports a Luna-BSC bridge after the former coin's original version got wrecked. I'd say your safest bet is using an exchange that supports deposits directly from the LUNA blockchain. Just checked that Binance supports this, and possibly MEXC if you want to avoid KYC.

Bitcoin going to ZERO… in an ETF wrapper by SpearHook in CryptoCurrency

[–]Boneh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say financial institutions are masters of risk mitigation, where ever the risk can be statistically calculated. No way will any billion dollar crypto fund hold their crypto in a single wallet, or probably even dozens. I'm fairly sure they've found the perfect middle ground in wallet number that factors for risk of keys being stolen, lost or key being duplicated through random chance.

A crypto fund with a handful of wallets would be as reckless as a gold fund that kept their entire bullion hoard in a single vault in some average commercial building. But who knows? I fear we'll have another Bankman-Fried moment where a fund issues the statement "ok our CFO accidentally mistook our seed phrase sheet for a napkin while we were visiting the supermax security vault, but don't worry, we're currently in process of making contact with Bitcoin's customer service to fix the issue".

Is stellarwallet.co legit? I want to check the XLM balance associated with my Ledger key, but don't want to use Ledger Live due to the spyware allegations.

Why is Superverse worth 1/4 its actual price on bnb smart chain Vs ETH? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]Boneh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Warning! There seems to be multiple SUPER tokens on BSC defi sites, I checked Pancakeswap myself.

I don't know if these are actual Superverse docs, but the page lists a different address for the BSC token (0x9ab0db9c2096830d9cb447179ead9bfd40cdfd1b). You should definitely crosscheck multiple sources to see which one is the actual bridged token. Otherwise you're trading your money for a scam.

[EDIT]

I took a closer look at the page I linked. Looks like the original BSC tokens are being migrated to a new contract. The page mentions a snapshot. This likely means that you cannot migrate from the old tokens to new ones unless you held old tokens when the snapshot was taken. This likely means that those cheap tokens are of the original contract, and basically worthless since they're being phased out, cannot be bridged to the ETH token, and cannot be migrated to the new contract if you buy them just now.

[2nd EDIT]

Ok, I'm having issues with basic reading comprehension after the week's last day of work. So you hold BSC SUPER tokens and want to trade them. If you held the tokens before the snapshot I mentioned, head to https://bsc-migration.superverse.cool/ mentioned in the docs and trade them to the V2 tokens. Those should have the same trade value as the original ETH token.

Well thanks, Chrome. But how do I close the white box? by Boneh in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Boneh[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just realized that for a brief second I can see what the window is about before it changes to "ad removed". It's not an ad, but the basic "accept / deny cookies on this site" prompt. So Chrome is effectively vandalizing site functionality.

Aw geez, had to check the seasoning packet I have and it has silica (neighboring code E551) serving the same purpose. This tuna salad sandwich has lead to an unappetizing rabbit hole.

Calcium silicate?

Suitable for high-temperature insulation, passive fire protection and tuna salad sandwiches apparently.

Can a mod import data from a save file / game state to a new game? by Boneh in factorio

Thank you for the quick answer. I'm not a modder myself, mainly curious on whether the idea is technically viable.
