I deleted my TC repository clones, before the shit hit the fan, when I was studying TC's use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs. I'm glad they still exist, but if not there are other repos like Zcash.

There are research papers that show that TC withdrawals can be linked to TC deposits with a good level of confidence.

I'm sure a great deal of analysis was done by the US, which led to their actions, like it or not.

There are knee-jerk reactions in the Crypto Community fearing that they will be next, and restricting access to their projects. No self-awareness of the truth about the "Decentralized" nature of their projects.

Cheers


Interesting, could you link some of those papers?

Thanks!


I started to use Postgres on AWS for a personal project, after fighting with several non-docker VM's - I don't want to use docker. But I decided on SQLite + Litestream, hopefully for free on AWS. The simplicity of deployment is great.

SQLite to my surprise has much of the same SQL functions as Oracle and Postgres. I wanted to use window functions, which are supported.

Sqlite came to my attention when I read a Tailscale blog article stating they will be using it.


Yes the new world order is crypto contracts running things, oh wait we need to convene a council so humans can review potential threats before they are allowed to transact with the contract.


So the problem was that Nirvana's Oracle Feed, that reported the price of ANA, was manipulated into showing a market price higher than was purchased by the exploiters. Who then sold their ANA back at the higher price for USDT, thus making a profit.

So how was the Nirvana Oracle manipulated to report a higher price for ANA? My guess is that the large purchase was enough to push the price higher (by 35%) and make the flash loan transaction profitable.


Yes, they use the flash loan to exploit the oracle price.

This has been done many times before in the crypto space.

Literally the exact same exploit.

Just Google "flash loan oracle exploit" and you will see just how many time this has been done before lol.


So is this a case of Nirvana code that allowed it to be exploited? I don't see flash loans as being inherently bad, as tweets and articles play it up to be.

I imagine professional/sovereign exploitation teams are looking for contracts that can be exploited, and have tooling and workflow processes in place to test exploits before deploying on a live blockchain network.

This is what Jeremy Siegel has been saying for the past few weeks.

But everything is OK.


Is this the same device I saw in reports about nerds trolling Tesla owners by opening their charging ports?


Yep, there are some videos of people using it to open the charging ports. I found the wireless "commands" (or whatever the correct terminology for it is) on github a while back before I received mine, but haven't gotten around to testing it out on local teslas here


Can confirm, it works. I’ve tried it myself directly.


#1 Continue working with exceptional people.

This is what I miss the most nowadays. Being the number one item is proper placement IMO.

Go is fantastic and makes it easy to build. Hugo is great too - I'm currently using the Docsy template to avoid/replace multiple software products for a crypto/blockchain project.

Cheers


I'm suprised that Gitcoin was not mentioned, they have dealt with sybil attacks and have processes to try and detect it.


I came across a forum thread for Baja California, where thay have and discuss off-grid air conditioning in a very hot area of Mexico. Interesting discussion.
