@wackyredsunny @yieldchad @HowieBTC @tennisdata @stablekwon Is that real ?

Absolute disbelief

Was bored so I dug up the major Hacker News threads about Bitcoin from 10 and 11 years ago, when it hit $100 and $10. No surprise, the arguments/debates/discussions in those threads are the exact same ones you'll find in $BTC threads on HN today. Intrinsic value, crime, etc, smh

@BambouClub "мир" means both "peace" and "world", and in this case, when he goes on to say "Russia in it", it suggests he's using the latter meaning

@runtheirstops This is the other half of the sandwich: same guy, same block 2.8 ETH profit - 2.5 ETH in miner bribe - 0.25 ETH in gas, leaving him with 0.025 ETH net profit etherscan.io/tx/0x457f77cf8…

Wonder what percentage of $GAS fell into the hands of people like me, who used to run bots to arbitrage minting and selling $CHI and $GST2. Nice to have keepsakes beside all those screenshots of being on top of the "gas spenders" leaderboard. Not that I plan to "keep".

@sophismay @zmhh9 @bertcmiller The UNI airdrop is what taught me never to assume a contract won't have a token balance :) Unfortunately, this vuln is not present on my old contracts that are eligible for the UNI airdrop, but don't have a withdrawToken method :(

@sophismay @zmhh9 @bertcmiller Yes, assuming I wanted to limit who could call that contract, which I didn't. I think I didn't see this as a vuln at the time, because I knew the contract should never have a token balance. In later contracts, I used an owner-modifiable mapping of token -> Uni pair instead.

Earlier today a bot drained a competitor's contract for 8.25 ETH ... Then a few hours later returned 5.9 ETH, warned them of 🦈s, and told them to be more careful etherscan.io/tx/0x49fc137c8… etherscan.io/tx/0xc4c5b848f…

@gakonst the word "wifi" wasn't really necessary in this tweet

i deeply hate anything to do with wifi printers, they just never work when you need them

@kermankohli @AaveAave @compoundfinance Every time I see a massive bank building I can't help but imagine Hans Gruber falling from it.

Every time I see a massive bank building I can't help but think to myself: "wait until they realise @AaveAave and @compoundfinance have replaced their thousands of employees with code"

@dcinvestor Only partially true. A lot (most?) of the blockspace is paid for by bots, who will pay as much gwei as it takes to win the gas auction while remaining profitable, which they measure in terms of ETH, not USD. Price fluctuations do not affect how much gwei they are willing to pay

say it with me: Ethereum 👏 fees 👏 are 👏 a 👏 function 👏 of 👏 blockspace 👏 demand they 👏 are 👏 not 👏 a 👏 direct 👏 function 👏 of 👏 ETH 👏 price i.e., ETH price could go up or down by a lot while fees (when denominated in fiat) stay constant

@banteg Based on this tweet, it looks like they *are* running their own nodes, and they are probably up-to-date. They just chose to shut things down when they noticed a divergence from Infura, because they weren't sure if they were on an orphan chain or not. twitter.com/cz_binance/sta…

So today we learned Binance either relies on Infura or runs outdated nodes. Both are suboptimal for such a large player.

@lawmaster *If* this is true. I'd want to see more supporting evidence for a bold claim like that. And an explanation as to why my full node is running just fine without an upgrade.

If this is true, this situation is a much bigger mess than I thought. How is it possible that the largest infra provider isn't aware of a change in the code that could lead to a chain split? Almost unbelievable

It seems like Infura is having an outage which is causing some pretty big delay in price feeds and some exchanges are also delaying withdrawals of ETH and ERC-20's. Metamask also having issues. There could also be an effect on some DeFi stuff

With @infura_io and gas prices down, I'm seeing a flurry of new pending transactions to mint $CHI. Do people not realise that at any given time (including now) you can just buy $CHI for the same price as it costs to mint it? All without needlessly clogging up the network, too.

@AutismCapital $UTNP (Universa). I really thought it would become some sort of official blockchain of Russia backed by Putin.

We have an altcoin bag that sucks so embarrassingly bad we don't even want to mention it on the off-chance that some poor soul accidentally buys it. What alt have you bought that you are ashamed of?

@EdgarArout Good to hear it wasn't used as a pig sty - maybe there's hope. But then again, there's the story of the khachkars in Nakhichevan, so maybe there isn't.

@cryptoscopia their main cultural artifact is a mosque in shusha - i climbed the minaret. the mosque was in disrepair - but no one touched it in any bad way - a Persian repair shop was fixing it

i was at this church - sad what will happen to it

@EdgarArout Did we take good care of their cultural artefacts during the occupation, so we can ask them in good faith to return the favour? Not trolling - I honestly don't know.

@ChrisBlec You're looking at things from the perspective that what children learn *in* the classroom is more consequential than the social skills they acquire *outside* the classroom. Believing the latter makes it hard to agree with you.

Current total volume: $38,087,594 That's 38% to $100m target in the 30 days since launch on 10 OCT. 10 OCT + 100/38*30 days = 26 DEC Plus 6 months for tokens to fully unlock = 26 MAY 2021 /cc @HegicOptions

If you're buying $HEGIC to hold long-term, you may want to consider buying $rHEGIC at 34% of the price instead. At the current rate, they will be fully redeemable 1:1 for HEGIC before the 26th of May, 2021. uniswap.exchange/swap/0x47c0ad2…
