BTW, this site is a fantastic resource for all things NFT and cryptocurrency, both scammers and screw-ups. A smorgasbord of the fungible and nonfungible.

I just fell for a discord exploit and had to delete my account.

Double check any room invites you get and for the love of god don't go through any "verification" process involving qr codes.

I feel like such an idiot but at the same time everything seemed legit so I can easily see myself falling for the shit again -especially when I'm tired or ...like today... already stressed the fuck out.

So discord's too fucking dangerous for this girl -fuck all that.

Luc is waving to me on the Discord. I shall refrain. Messaged him elsewhere.

UPDATE: Its a server invite on Discord to a Hinawara's Castle that exploits the QR code verification

That's the one, yep.

Discord won't immediately delete your account in case you change your mind -fair enough, but NOT what I want rn. So I unfriended everyone (in case the worm decides to go back through my friends' list) and left all the servers I was on.

One of my friends was like "Oh yeah, I don't do qr codes" but half (or more of) the time discord wants something it uses qr codes, like:


So a qr code + reasonable "authoritative" url+being out of it irl (stress and heart issues)=Hax0red Han Held.

That's why I know I'd fall for it again, so I'm not even gonna play. Next time it might hit my wallet and not just my pride.

One does not simply yell at Lucifer. But I do have some spare frankincense and lavender so we'll see if that works. Now where's my herb crusher?

Former OpenSea product manager Nathaniel Chastain has been charged with wire fraud and money laundering in connection with an insider trading scheme. Chastain was arrested Wednesday morning in New York City and is expected to be presented in court later today.

Chastain was publicly accused of insider trading in September and fired from his position at OpenSea — but today’s indictment marks the first criminal charges associated with the scheme.
While employed at OpenSea, Chastain was responsible for deciding which NFT collections would be featured on OpenSea’s front page, a distinction that typically made the collections skyrocket in value. The indictment describes a pattern of 45 token purchases on 11 different occasions. In each case, Chastain purchased NFTs shortly before they featured on OpenSea’s homepage, sometimes only a matter of minutes before. According to prosecutors, Chastain sold the tokens for “between two and five times his purchase price.”

Apocryphal, but:

Landlord held this guy's security deposit in a crypto account. Guy just moved out, and only got a check for half his money back.

LIke the landlord would give him more back if the value of bitcoin went up - I don't think so. It isn't the tenant's responsibility how the landlord invests their money.

That's weird. The tweet WAS unavailable, like Argent said; but now it's available again.

I wonder if they reposted it. Because when I clicked the tweet in the thread earlier, it went to their profile, but the tweet was lower.

But I may have clicked the profile in the thread here by mistake.

I think Kamilah has the right of it; I suspect the account went private for a bit when notifications got out of hand.
