Unfortunately facts, figures, and demonstrations slide off his smooth brain like water off a ducks back. I learned this during the Ivermectin episode.

He's 20 years older than me and was closer to a father figure. I picked my university and major based on what he did. I started reconnecting with him last year after a few years apart and had my mind blown by how much brain poisoning he's suffered.

Sorry for the oversharing. I'm losing my mind.

That part got me interested into checking out the technical details of how contracts are actually stored on the chain. Surely this kind of thing could be avoided if you just took some time to read through the actual contract.

However, because contracts are stored as instruction byte code, reading them is not easy. You can either look through a million opcodes, or try to decompile it. Trying to decompile the opensea openstore contract gave me this:

code:
I failed with these: 
#  - safeTransferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _id, uint256 _value, bytes _data)
Hopefully there's nothing in there about marbles, or letting someone else transferring tokens they don't own.

Also, the contract standard for tokens explicitly says that transfers can fail for whatever reason the issuers dreamed up, for "interesting results". So I just don't know about this whole thing about code being law, seems kind of complicated.

So the end user of these tokens have no practical way of checking if the contract that they're "signing" actually is what the writer says it is? That's insane!

My favourite Canadian musician (if such a thing exists) Devin Townsend found out about NFTs and I hope to God doesn't fall for the scam. His colleague Matt Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold, however, is a true believer, and the two had a chat after Devin tried to understand why people hate NFTs. I know Matt to be a nice enough dude in real life, and the way he enthusiastically describes the wonderful metaverse perks batcoin holders will enjoy in A7X's virtual fan club is deeply saddening. I guess it's worth remembering that some entertainers who shill their NFTs can themselves be victims of NFT grifters and their own stupidity, rather than dispassionate influencers for hire or malicious actors.

I haven't followed A7X since the Nightmare album, but it's still a bummer that they're getting sucked into this.

the smart contract functions took pointers to functions as inputs and one of these functions was 'verify hash is correct'. the "attacker", if we can even call them that, provided a function that said yes.

the commit is right here on github. it was yesterday, not 4 months ago
the relevant change is from calling "load_instruction_at" (which interprets arbitrary user supplied smart-contract-data as a function) to "load_instruction_at_checked"

the stupid unsafe load_instruction_at function was deprecated by solana in october
the actual commit by the wormhole devs to switch away from the deprecated security-hole function was yesterday

I'm too lazy to look at their source and comprehend it. Were they really relying on an arbitrary third party to authenticate the transaction? I don't consider myself an experienced networked application coder, but that seems like day 1 rookie poo poo.

I wonder if it was put in there on purpose :tinfoil:

"As I described in an earlier article, the artwork is really important when I buy a collectible or piece of art that I intend on holding for a long time. It needs to be interesting and unique enough to stand out and attract and maintain a large audience, and ideally be something people want to show off, thus acting as promoters for the project.

The Gambling Apes artwork is of really high quality. The apes themselves are super well done and the discrete background illustrations add a nice visual element."

my understanding is people already sell auto-daytrading bots! it's a good scam; you get to use the free demo, and wow! the bot makes money! you pay for the full version, and suddenly because you have to wait for your trades to execute (rather than the bot pretending everything happens instantly), and also pay the exchange fees, you quickly lose all your money. no refunds.

My idiot half brother has himself and his two kids gambling their college money with auto-daytrading crypto bots. I have not checked in recently to see how that's been going.
