Yeah so there was like one $85 thing on ebay last month that I didn't notice, then they told me they blocked a load of macdonalds orders. I hadn't noticed the ebay one because it was so teensy, it got lost among all my grand server hosting and AirBNB charges and it never occurred to me that someone would burn a stolen card for just little stuff like that. Maybe that's the trick, if they'd gone big I'd have stopped the card the first day they used it

The wild thing about this is it isn't even USDC or something like that, it's the old-style BTC bit-coins like Satoshi used to make

Gas for the house boiler / gas stove. Normally it would be credit card but I only have the one and that got frozen because somebody bought the details on the darkweb and ordered all the macdonalds. They have bank transfer but it has a limited selection of banks and takes some time to set up.

I don't really vibe with Farcaster but I do appreciate the fact that I can pay my gas bill from my tips, which I mostly earned with my posts bitching about Farcaster

I just went to try to update my gas bill to pay with another card since they need to charge it before the new one is reissued and it turns out they won't take debit cards and the only payment option they have that I can use right now is Bitcoin. I didn't think this scenario ever happened in real life

Whoever bought my credit card details on the dark web made the schoolboy error of ordering MacDonalds at a magnitude unthinkable of any Japanese card holder

This wasn't (originally) a discussion about whether crypto was good or bad, it was about whether it cost the Dems votes. That's why it's framed that way

They've been there a while, the same people don't like AI either

Financial website logins are in a tragedy of the commons where each comes up with increasingly elaborate ways of logging in to prevent their users getting scammed, but each increases the universe of things that the user has to consider could be legitimate and makes it easier to phish them on the rest

Reading that thread I realize a factor in the fall of the US to fascism was that someone at the Fed called up the most low-trust people in America and asked them how much crypto they held. Then when the Biden admin asked "would we lose votes if we pissed off crypto holders" they answered no, there are only 4 of them

I'll keep posting this meme on a weekly basis, until Ethereum people start admitting that the #1 issue of [D]apps today isn't lack of scalable block space but something that's apparently so much intellectually beneath everyone here that nobody is even talking about it

I have some presentation slides that currently look like this. What tool (AI or otherwise) should I use to make them look nice?

I've seen zero posts on Farcaster about 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘂𝗺 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 having been achieved today. Seems like a huge deal. The ZK future is here. https://x.com/SuccinctLabs/status/1924845712921264562
