lmao, jpgs worth over 3 Million!!!!
the fact that the most dedicated NFT experts get duped over and over and over again with these basic-ass scams is hilarious to me and really undermines the premise that anything would be more secure on the blockchain
I had a bunch of :reddit-logo: brains telling me the other day that we need to put voting on the blockchain and they had literally no response at all for "what about when all the grannies get their voting passwords stolen"
Anyone with real knowledge of network security will tell you to use paper ballots.
As someone in IT, the only device in my house that isn't a computer connected to the network is my printer, and I keep a loaded gun on my desk in case it starts making funny noises.
It’s amazing to me that this comic ever got famous.
Stick figure art, no punch lines, boring redditbrain minutia
I remember going on explainxkcd.com to understand the, uh, jokes and at least a third of them took 5 paragraphs of context or more to be explained.
I do like "What If?", though, which answers questions such as What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light? and What if a rainstorm dropped all of its water in a single giant drop
I'm really tempted to try something like that. Take a few people's jpeg wallets and sell that shit to whatever other idiot thinks jpegs are worth thousands of dollars. It could be easy money.
honestly, the kind of person who runs email scams and such is probably on average more based than the grannies that would get their vote stolen, critical support
if nfts are just about robbing rich people, which seems to be more and more likely, they're kind of growing on me.
no because they're still stupid and bad for the environment plus it's too stupid to steal it's still worthless now that it's been stolen
If I somehow stole Jeff Bezos' yacht and sank it to the bottom of the sea, it too would be bad for the environment and functionally worthless.
But it'd be pretty cool to destroy that much 'value'.
Unfortunately they're about robbing a mixture of rich failsons, B-tier con men, and regular working artists.
Plus the people profiting the most from the robbing are the even richer people, so it's not like there's a net positive.
I think they're just stealing their own shit so headlines keep reading how these things are worth money.
Stealing your own shit, making it unable to be sold again, to convince people your shit is worth money
:galaxy-brain:
when that shit is actually worthless and infinitely reproducable jpegs, throwing a few dozen a week in a fire as a sob story is worth it
Critical support to cryptodorks for unwittingly funneling money into Korea against sanctions.
Couple problems with stealing NFTs. For one, that whole non-fungible thing means they can't really be resold (it's like stolen artwork, only without actually owning anything). And also, based on that tweet NFT auction recently, I'm highly skeptical that these things are really worth anything like the original price that was paid for them.

NFTs only real value is hype, nobody actually wants to own them.
The tweet had some hype when that moron bought it over a year ago and NFTs weren't what they are now, that hype is dead and so is the price of that NFT. Nobody gives a shit about "owning" Jack Dorsey's first tweet.
The apes, however, have massive hype still and they're gonna keep going up for another while imo. The people running it, Yuga Labs, recently bought a bunch of other huge projects and their acquisitions have gone up drastically since, they released their own coin and on the 30th they're releasing their own metaverse where they're presumably gonna sell digital land, so that's gonna print money too because everything is stupid.
Eventually the hype will die down, but I wouldn't be surprised if the floor price increased to >$500k before it does.
Also why the fuck do I know all of this.
Taking crypto bros shit and effectively stopping them from ever being traded again is objectively better than taking them and selling them
I read that in literally his voice.
I hate thinking about ex-coworkers

lol lmao althpough I don't actually think you can steal an NFT as I think to be stolen something must exist and have value
The hackers advertised a fake distribution of NFTs, known as an airdrop in the web3 world, which tricked users into clicking on a malicious link. Once people clicked on it, they gave control of their wallets to the hackers
I don't care enough to research whether it was this easy, but assuming it was:
WHY THE FUCK DON'T NFT WALLETS HAVE MFA HARDCODED INTO THEM AS A FUCKING REQUIREMENT WHAT THE FUCK YOU STUPID PRIVILEGED GODDAMN NERDS FUCKING PAY ATTENTION!! I HATE ALL OF YOU I AM GOING TO LAUGH MY FAT TITS OFF WHEN I GET TO SHOVE A GRENADE IN YOUR MOUTH AND PULL THE GODDAMN PIN WHEN THE REVOLUTION HAPPENS
:harley-quinn:
What exactly is web 3.0 supposed to be? All I hear from people who believe in it is that it will liberate the internet without ever giving specific reasons how it will do that.
