      The command was literally called "program close" and I really can't understand what legitimate purpose a command that effectively bricks the database could have for being there in the first place.

        You've literally never seen a self destruct sequence trope save the world? All I see is amazing prescience ruined by premature ejaculation.

        So it's not a command within this company's program but one built into the Solana blockchain, apparently. What's hilarious is that they didn't think to check if the account still has funds in it and verify that the user really wants to close it and lock up those funds before just summarily closing the account lol

    Lmao, this is funny in every way, especially that the 3rd party blockchain software had a command to do that

    $660k doesn't sound like a huge amount for a tech company to me, that's like 4 engineer's salaries or under a year's worth of AWS bills probably

      The baffling cognitive dissonance that half a mil is like 0 dollars in our economy but also that I’m in medical debt for my fucking dog because I couldn’t afford a sudden emergency
