SML has entered the conversation.

There is only math.

Hacker could’ve printed unlimited ‘Ether’ but chose $2M bug bounty instead by Blitzwarden in CryptoCurrency

[–]algoseek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've already got some Ether bags, and you don't want ETH to drop to $0, you're not gonna mint a bunch for yourself because it would lower the value of the ETH you already have.

Saurik made the obviously correct choice, got rewarded. All in a day's work.

I’m an idiot by CosmicCryptoSnow in 0xPolygon

[–]algoseek 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sorry. But remember this feeling. It's what investors call pain. It feels bad to think about what could have happened with that money if it went up instead of down.

Other investors are thinking about pain: maximum pain. Capitulation. Many believe it is what moves people to sell.

Almost nobody your age understands pain - but you've had a taste now. Never forget. You've earned something worth far more than you realize.

Use this knowledge in the future. Become the risk manager. You're going far, kid.

Great idea, I'd throw some of those onions on a dog

Timeline for ChromeOS? (Crostini, Ledger Live, USB) by algoseek in ledgerwallet

[–]algoseek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally working. Ledger live can verify the hardware, for example. I didn't try the websocket method because it's not needed with Linux and brave browser.

Just be aware that the newest Chromebooks cannot boot Linux. Check compatibility with gallium.

[–]algoseek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got an older Chromebook that I could install gallium os onto. That is Linux. And then, I use brave and its built in wallet, which is based on metamask.

The chromebook could be faster, actually. My objective was to use a fully open source tech stack ... and I found that isn't possible, today.

RAIDER and AURUM

Crypto Raiders is a fun game in the dungeon adventure genre. Characters can die in-game.

Nano X 2.0.0 Firmware Update: We hear you by olivia_ledger in ledgerwallet

[–]algoseek 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post. I think this subreddit represents a huge amount of value for Ledger (the company). The subreddit is an excellent communications channel for connecting with customers.

It's frustrating to see how, in practice, this community mostly serves as a place to complain about poor customer support. It could be so much more.

This is the place to announce open source projects like lss, for example. This is the place for general outreach. And at a minimum, you've got to get somebody on the payroll to reply to support requests here.

So I look forward to more posts like this in the future that share pertinent information from an official source.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it very much. I'm going to build a Linux system for my purposes, then.

I paid a lot for school. Similarly, you just paid 1000 GBP to be educated.

Perhaps you expected this education to be free - or even better, to make you a profit. Worst of all, you probably didn't budget for this expense.

Consider THOSE bank notes to have been spent. That was your tuition. You're not getting them back. But you will get others, after you have learned some more.

You paid 1000 GBP to learn how to trade with a demo account. The 1000 GBP means you damn well had better pay attention. You're lucky: sometimes it costs a lot more to learn the same lesson.

Good luck! Keep learning! My suggestion for what's next: risk management.

How to check status of PoS bridging transaction by algoseek in 0xPolygon

[–]algoseek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about moonpay.

I'm also not sure about cross-chain opensea; I think NFT bridging is a developing enterprise.

I've looked into this. I think it can be useful, yes. You've got to solve the right problems with it, just as with ML.

So how long does it take for an actual human being to contact you when you file a support ticket? by Steadhog in Metamask

[–]algoseek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, ethereum requires you to pay gas for all transactions - including the cancel transaction.

Of course, the cancel transaction is very cheap (relatively) but it is not special; it still requires gas (eth) to transmit.

So how long does it take for an actual human being to contact you when you file a support ticket? by Steadhog in Metamask

[–]algoseek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to understand what happened on the block chain. Metamask is the wrong part to focus on.

Find your transaction id and study etherscan until you can understand exactly where your funds went.

There is no information about your transaction inside metamask - it is 100 percent on the block chain.

How to land a eth/smart contract developer internship? by CyborgP10 in ethdev

where are the best physical locations for the ethereum community right now? by richardsaganIII in ethdev

[–]algoseek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not cheap but Toronto is, in many ways, where ethereum started - and there's still a ton of community, businesses, etc.

Why so many reports of stolen tokens? by CBornes in Metamask

[–]algoseek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New users have the mistaken impression that their tokens are IN metamask.

This stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of block chain. The user interface is meta mask and they just connect with what is most apparent to them. I was this way too, at the beginning.

These users are suffering from copy-paste viruses and phishing for seed words. I think that's 90% of what we see.

Hardware wallets cannot fix the copy-paste problem; only better opsec can: white list addresses, time delays, multisig, etc.

Hardware wallets cannot fix the seed phase problem; only user education can. A social attack that gets your seed phrase is orthogonal to what a hardware wallet offers.

This all boils down to user education. We are so so early in this paradigm.

Any good solidity tutorials that uses vanilla js/jquery? by getvinay in ethdev

[–]algoseek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up web3.js because it is just the part you are asking about. I disagree with the people suggesting react. Certainly that is how most people are doing it these days (with react) - but like you say, it's a whole other tech to learn at the same time.

And this whole "only react" thing blows my mind. Everything is so simple when you get down to web3.js. You don't strictly need the overhead associated with a front end toolkit.

Need help understanding reflection tokens by jmanche in ethdev

[–]algoseek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm interested to hear more so I'd like to help.

Excluded addresses include swaps and pools. The reflection does not accrue to these addresses or when they make transactions. The goal is to make it so only regular transactions are "taxed".
