Haven't they had to stop the chain 6 or 7 times too as it keeps getting stuck? Crazy that it still has such a high valuation. On 03/08/2022 at 13:06, iron mike python said: Its because people don't care about security and trust assumptions. They prefer speed and cheap fees. The problem is, if Solana is down more and more as it gets used by more people, they will then see under the bonnet. In the end they are using a clunky type of database which is centralised due to the computing requirements and is financially subsidised/heavily marketed by FTX. (What I have wrote about above is my more general view of Solana, and has no relevance to the current exploit. Turning the off switch would still allow the exploiter access to the funds when they turn it on again.) People like to talk shit about Solana yet the hack was no fault of Solana as a network. Didn't an Ethereum bridge just have a $190m hack yet nobody's taking about that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was advice for any poor soul with their crypto on Solana at the time of the exploit. To help them. Don't use token bridges at such an early stage would also be advice but that is a separate issue. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 2 high profile exploits this week affecting different blockchains. I offered advice to people at the time of one exploit of how they could secure their funds if they were worried. Looking at my post after the event, Snafu has decided it looks like I was attacking the whole Solana ecosystem. (Which he probably owns Ecosystem coins/tokens so feels he has to defend.) TL;DR Same shit as the rest of this site, people being tribal and 'whataboutery' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Thought it would be a lot more than $100 million, maybe folk are wising up. Quote NFT swap scams, meanwhile, work by abusing the fact that counterfeiting an NFT is trivial. Simply creating a new digital asset with the same name and image as a high-value NFT means some can be fooled into accepting what looks like a “like-for-like” swap, only to find they’ve been left with nothing. More than $100m worth of NFTs stolen since July 2021, data shows Edited August 24, 2022 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 On a side note does anyone have any success/horror stories from folk they know about crypto? A guy I know made his own coin up and then rugged it for $600k, he started out in crypto with 4k and has ran it up to millions. On the flip side I know someone who has been in since 2017, he had 35 BTC and 100 ETH at his peak, also had 6,000,000 VeChain. He didn't cash any of it at all and is 3 million in the red since January from trying to trade his way out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
