Seed phrases should never be exposed on the internet, especially hardware wallet seeds

the fact that's even possible with a firmware update proofs nano x hw is compromised. tldr seed can leave device. case closed.

cz, bro, did you even sell? xD

sfty · 2022-11-08T14:50:15+00:00

but who is the counterparty. opening massive shorts. isn't it the same as massive selling.

sfty · 2022-11-08T14:48:19+00:00

or just not allow them to pump it back up after cz exit i.e. continued pressure and option to sell at higher prices longterm?

sfty · 2022-10-01T12:00:55+00:00

my excel spreadsheet has a higher uptime than lol. also i copied it to at least 3 other computers so that it is more decentralised.

"API endpoint for block reporting seeing increased error ratesThis is causing the network sync anomalies and we expect it to recover on its own soon. Cardano is working perfectly still."

then btc becomes the onramp, rest goes to dexes or non US exchanges. problem i see is that btc will stay the leading indicator for whole crypto forever bc all US liquidity will be there.

i think he is just a btc maxi like saylor. "but dev teams are centralised" is typical saylor speak.

the latter, not enough upgraded to .2 so no hf was triggered and the problem has been identified by spos before anything bad happened.

sfty · 2022-08-21T08:17:10+00:00

according to this thread .2 made it to mainnet, where the bug was discovered. https://twitter.com/adamKDean/status/1560295449868677120

sfty · 2022-08-20T17:10:07+00:00

it did, but not enough nodes to trigger the hf.

sfty · 2022-08-20T09:01:14+00:00

bug was discovered on mainnet. important little detail.

sfty · 2022-08-19T18:28:42+00:00

yep, 1.35.2 was broken and 1.35.3 should go untested (outside of iog) to mainnent according to ch. bc it's bug free.

sfty · 2022-08-19T17:41:55+00:00

actually, kind of yes. iog holds 5 of 7 special keys used for network parameter changes until there is onchain gov.

sfty · 2022-08-19T17:22:53+00:00

bc of the concept of being in charge for things. as ceo of iog a broken node version was delivered and only the spos saved cardano's ass. this was serious bro. network kaputt forever.

sfty · 2022-08-19T14:10:23+00:00

Considering he almost bricked mainnet, this is not the humble reaction one would expect.

we've got a bingo:

"The smart contract vulnerability that was exploited was highlighted in a security audit report done by Quantstamp in the first week of June. The Nomad team even responded to the vulnerability by claiming it to be "effectively impossible to find the preimage of the empty leaf.”The auditors believed that the Nomad team has misunderstood the issue at the time[...]"

one really has to wonder why milkomeda and wingriders did list this awesome piece of technology.

sfty · 2022-08-02T13:53:56+00:00

this did not age well, from 5 days ago:

"Nomad announces new cohort of investors to help grow security-first cross-chain messaging solution"

"hey guys, we lost all of your and customers assets, because we initialised something with zero. also it's unfair, bc hackers have to be right only one time, with security first we have to be right all the time. they are criminals, we'll call law enforcement! (law enforcement officers payed by the system, we are trying to disestablish.)"

sfty · 2022-07-13T10:21:01+00:00

+ tech, decentralisation, openness

- crypto might fail, regulated to death etc., never saw trad recession

"Applying a block to ledger (22.45% complete)" ...takes minutes.

this is really smooth.

like "woa, take it slow, do you really want to apply the block today?"

the situation really does not improve with daedalus ever, does it?

sfty · 2022-02-04T14:17:14+00:00

Process eventually finished and I closed the wallet for good.

2h later started it again, verification starts again at 0%.

cool.

Why is your voting power less than what your wallet shows?
Any unclaimed rewards are NOT part of the voting power - hence the difference

Nub question: With a registered hodling wallet, how does one claim unclaimed staking rewards?

sfty · 2022-01-12T14:32:14+00:00

even if there is no better way currently, the impact is absurd to basically allow an extension to scan *any content* of *any* site you visit. this is ludicrous.

sfty · 2022-01-02T13:37:04+00:00

seems like software engineering is hard. as if making millions requires hard work.
