nothing to worry about imo, everything is on chain so if theres anything thats ever *bad* there will be a few diff crypto twitter accounts finding it and pointing it out pretty quick. from there it's on openseat to actually make changes to their site to remove things like that. unfort opensea is lazy. but i dont see this becoming a problem.

better analogy is being the first person to win a game of bingo but the first person to get their number called auto-wins and the average number is 21 digits long and all the miners are spamming/printing lots of cards with lots of different numbers. no difference between 2nd place and last place in this analogy; you either win or you dont

miner electricity usage i imagine is estimated the same way any other entity is, just measurements through their utility providers or estimates on power load.

You saw this with domain names in the early days.
Someone would buy HappyTree932.cc for $800,000, or whatever.

Any time a marketable product deals in whimsical, usually arbitrary values, money laundering and asset/tax sheltering will occur with 100% certainty.

Hey guys, Im trying to build a nft community/network. Im neck deep into this stuff now, let me know by shooting me a pm.

If you hunt down the NFT Snipers on twitter there is a link to a discord there.

I've been a part of the community for 7-8 months and we have shared a lot of success. I know at least one poster here has joined the community and reached the Sniper rank.

Also, lol me

If you can't beat em, join em!

coordi can you eli5 the nft sniper thing?

it seems that bots go around snap purchasing anything listed below floor because they don't know any better?

Thanks mate, Im in the discord now.

Rickroll, are you into crypto and nfts too now?

my roomates and i mined btc on our laptops back in 2009 and i threw away the laptop not thinking anything of wallet with the maybe $5 of coins i mined on it

just viewed it as a neat thing to do with spare cpu cycles like this https://foldingathome.org/

i own some topshot but am very unhappy with how they flooded the market and slowly exiting

not against nfts per se but i think 99% goes to zero within a few years and i'm not smart enough nor diligent enough to wade through it all and find that 1%

I'm also way too pessimistic and skeptical to ever be a first mover in anything (late to the party in high stakes poker, late to the part in dfs, late to the party in viewing crypto as anything more than a neat thing and it's cost me millions) but that's who i am and that's not going to change anytime soon

having said that, i have low 5 figures in various crypto, view it more of a hedge than anything

i'm open to anything, but definitely never just diving in headfirst, like no matter how soon i knew about crypto punks or the apes there's just no chance i'd have even spent a single dollar buying a few ugly and downright tasteless pixels

like that footium thing, i'm 99% sure i'd both enjoy it and make money off it because even if it all falls apart i'm sure it'll appreciate enough to exit profitably before that happens (a la my experience with topshot) but absolutely nothing about spending hundreds of dollars to buy a virtual team for a game that'll cost several hundred dollars a year in gas fees to play makes any sense to me at all when you can buy an established pc or console soccer management game for $60 that's 10x more fun with 100x better graphics and larger community but just doesn't have the speculation involved - i need something more than greater fool theory to buy in - hence why the only topshot i'm acquiring/holding are the first series ones before they flooded the market and even then not really acquiring only if a huge deal falls on my lap and even then i'm happy to relist it asap and see if i can get a quick scalp

Its just a discord for people who want to make money off of NFTs and the broader crypto space.

Sniper rank just gives you access to gated areas of the discord. We are having a degen Breckenridge retreat in May.

Lol something similar happened to me around the same time, but I didn't lose it I just didn't hang onto it. I agree with a lot of things you said and then on some points not. I'll send you a pm soon bro to tell u something. That's guys, let's talk later.

That is a well orchestrated and dedicated scam. Wow.

Treat NFTs like venture capital. Most of your portfolio will go to zero but if you're good and or lucky the outliers will generate huge multiples that more than cover your losses on the rest.

There are definitely edges to be had in NFTs. Tools are the hot item right now.

Another one is whitelist grinding with multiple discord accounts. Thats probably the main one right now.

Sounds like Opensea's new contract is compromised.

What seems to have happened is someone was able to store half a transaction (cached valid signature values) and decided now was the time to deploy them, likely due to Opensea making updates to their contract. The exploiter had this contract ready for a month. Highly likely (99%) that affected users were phished.

People think it was an email, but my guess is a link in a whale discord

bought these just now, my first nfts

first project i saw that i legit didn't care if it went to zero but also think there's some real historicity behind this as it's how they are funding a war, top one was a $399 mystery box of which there's about 2k of them in each set (now on set 3 of 5 total) and bottom is a $10 where there's 43 million of them to represent each citizen of ukraine

100% proceeds go to a number of charities that are helping ukrainians, created by an incubator based in kiev

yuga bought out larva lol

drop 3 had sold 1.4k of the 2.5k when i bought it and it's still not sold out

definitely don't mind the purchase cause 100% of proceeds to ukrainian charities (was covered by news so imagine that's legit) but it's pretty doubtful these are ever going to be worth anything

Gary vee sucks! What a waste of money. 70eth for a coin that allows you to sit next to him at a knicks game once a year for 3years. ****ing barf!

We might as well change influencer to syphon because that is what they are
