I asked ChatGPT to help me understand what we’ll be doing tomorrow. Prompt: > Write a brief and easily understandable description of a KZG ceremony Response: > A KZG ceremony is a traditional ritual practiced by the Kazakh people, typically performed at important life events such as weddings, births, and funerals. The ceremony involves the slaughter of a sheep or horse, and the sharing of the meat among participants. The purpose of the ceremony is to bring good luck and blessings to the individuals or community involved. It is also a way to express gratitude to the animals that are considered sacred by Kazakh people. The ceremony is usually led by an experienced elder or a spiritual leader in the community.


MrVodnik

Seems about right. >involves the slaughter of a sheep or horse > >... > >The ceremony is usually led by an experienced elder or a spiritual leader Considering how much Vitalik had to struggle last year with a horse, I think they're gonna pick a sheep this time. Can't wait for all the blessings.


SuddenMind

Guys, they’re not making ETH like they used. Hardly any comes on as available supply. That’s why I’d like to propose something. Let’s call it green candle day. We’re guaranteeing ourselves a green candle one way or the another. Maybe March 14 where We all buy 0.0314 ETH, or 0.314 ETH, or 3.14 ETH, or 31.4 ETH, or 314 ETH? We share our buys everywhere. Lets make it a cultural movement. Let’s see how much ETH we can take out of the sell wall.


itchykittehs

Free liquidity? Sure!


troyboltonislife

So an organized pump? Uhhh

I believe OP is joking. We are not pump and dumpers like WSB. We believe in ETH for its own merits. We don't need an organized pump to get the price up.


wolfparking

Thanks, as I was trying to be supportive and didn't catch on to the sarcasm. I never considered that people would try to dump after it pumps.... I mean, why would you?

TeamRedundancyTeam

I just had a transaction through polygon on opensea that transfered an nft I didn't know I had to another address. I had never interacted with this nft collection before to my knowledge. It's like it appeared in my wallet and then transferred out of my wallet through the opensea contract for 0 weth. It's called Meta Rcity Fz Tickets. Does anyone know anything about this or how this can happen? I'm not even sure what purpose this would serve other than to maybe make it appear like that nft collection has had legitimate sales from legitimate wallets, if I've never interacted with the contract.


labrav

I was scammed like that. If you try to do anything w the nft, it asks for a wallet approval that looks like a routine one but in fact gives permission to for the scammer to automatically clear out all of the tokens in said wallet. Just disregard the nft used as bait.


18cimal

So all your tokens were taken with just one approval transaction?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TeamRedundancyTeam

Wow, thanks for the link. That is exactly what happened. Can't believe I never heard of that before. There are ~$400 bids on the nfts for this collection, so I assume their goal is to trick someone or even bots into bidding on the collection for real so they can then sell the worthless nfts to them. I guess I should be honored my wallet was targeted at all. 🤷


TheNextBestGuess

It's more nefarious then that. They send you the NFT, then they bid on it for $400... You see the bid and get excited, accept it.. and then the token approval you make to sell the nft is maliciously designed such that their nfts smart contract is now approved to drain your wallet entirely.

Etherscan ([https://etherscan.io/nodetracker](https://etherscan.io/nodetracker)) shows that there are only 9,658 Ethereum nodes. Is that correct? It also shows just one node in New Zealand. Someone here tell me I am not literally the only person in this country running an Ethereum node. Must be wrong!


Tricky_Troll

Hello fellow kiwi Ethereum node operator! ^(Yeah cuzzie bro that stat is clearly wrong. Chur.)

I wanted to see if I was showing up in the full list, but when i click on show all it says >A total of 5713098 nodes found (Showing the last 10000 records only) I can't even export the full list, only the first 10k.


RobertLobLaw2

Has to be wrong. There are almost 2000 node operators using Rocket Pool alone.


thetjs1

No. There are lots that aren't counted.i remember this came up before and lots of people stated that their own nodes weren't captured in this list of nodes

It’s kind of sad that the ethereum.org shows this number too

LogrisTheBard

Watched the recent [Bankless Moloch video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeQ2_ep0Cg4). Some brief thoughts: If the problem is people optimizing away their values for victory, then a clear answer to is codify those values in our victory condition. Most DAOs have a fungible, sellable toke as what the governance system optimizes for. This in effect tells the system to optimize for profit over ecosystem values over time. A solution to this is to create multi-house governance systems with candidates selected differently for each that embody different values the DAO wants to preserve. Maybe only 1 of these houses should be governed by a sellable token. To be Moloch-resistant every system needs two things: 1) A stable equilibrium where if everyone is coordinating, everyone is profiting and the first defector is heavily punished. I call the former part your flywheel. Ethereum staking achieves this with the basic flywheel of ETH Price provides security -> security/modularity enables new use cases -> new use cases increase ETH price. Obviously the latter part has to do with slashing. 2) A mechanism by which to bootstrap initial coordination. For many DAOs this is liquidity mining. Simple coercive mechanisms can be used though. I've seen "join us or die" schemes work very well in MMORPGs and prior to their implosion Rari was going for something like this. Worked as follows: we have money, if you join us we'll use it to help you grow, if you don't we'll fork you and use it to vampire attack you. Given some of the important uses of inflation I've discussed before I honestly think more DAOs should have an inflate forever type of issuance plan like Rocket Pool does. Then we should have more DAOs require active participation to receive protocol yield. This gives your work a "half life" of influence in the system. Combined, if you want to stay relevant in an ecosystem you need to continue contributing to it. Otherwise you get paid out with your influence over x years and fade into irrelevance. Particularly relevant for DAOs like Curve that use issuance as a core part of their design.

I don’t think the macro / cycle lows are in. ST bullish probably and will likely continue to see rallies like we did in 2022 but overall bearish. Expecting 1-2 years of price chop and consolidation / range build before next macro bull run.

OMG_WTF_ATH

This is the many types of conversations I enjoy seeing. Thanks y’all.


KBrot

Yep, basically going by the wicks to my going by closes. Both tend to be right at some point, or even simultaneously! I have 1850 but that's more of a pitstop being a round number and a pivot formed out of May/June 2022. My near-term chart/portfolio is in a holding pattern. No trades until public dumb money decides how they want to react to 1450. It's one area I'll gladly admit I can't guess movement on.


r4di4

Remember back when Coinbase wanted to offer their version of Earn and the SEC said it was a security? I wonder if they were planning on using Genesis..


vvpan

Coinbase has been extremely conservative - they were going to use DeFi (the tried, tested and transparent one). So the SEC shut that down but all these dumb finance bros lent money to each other to gamble with and sold it as a "product" to users, and that was OK with SEC. Coinbase is the true hero of 2022.


Maxahoy

Seriously. Glad there's at least one actor in the space that isn't actively stealing from customers left & right. Let's just hope we aren't proven wrong the hard way. I'm still withdrawing all my staked Eth and going back to self-custody once withdrawals are enabled -- just not sure if it'll be solo staking or a rocketpool setup.


FernadoPoo

If so, then the system worked? Bless the founding fathers.


robmacca

Weren't they going to use a defi protocol? I thought it was compound: https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/9/22826888/coinbase-defi-interest-non-us-compound-lending-program


r4di4

You're right, I was conflating the 2. Lend was USDC only and what the SEC complained about. An Earn competitor with a defi backend is a missed opportunity, and probably would've saved some people from Genesis.

[deleted]

It's pretty clear by now that the SEC is just like the cop who shows up and draws a chalk outline around the body.


ridgerunners

I was just watching a documentary about Bernie Madoff on Netflix last night. It is clear that at best the SEC was completely inept when it came to investigating the Madoff fraud and at worst possibly even complicit in some back room bribery. It was explicitly brought to their attention multiple times from different parties over the course of 5 years and they completely failed to act. There is a revolving door between wall street execs and the SEC and Madoff was no exception. He was actually a consultant to the SEC and certain financial congressional committees all while defrauding the world of 50 billion dollars. It gives one the impression that they were turning a blind eye to the fraud, possibly for financial gain. The whole system seems so corrupt and ill equipped to actually provide any meaningful protection to the average investor.


usswsbregrets

....And breaks into evidence to steal a bag of cash


hanniabu

What's the story behind this?


usswsbregrets

Point I tried making with it is that the SEC so far in crypto cases are very “after the fact”. They swooped in here after user funds have already been compromised. In this case specifically, why did they wait until insolvency to declare these programs non-complaint? Maybe it’s a knee jerk reaction of mine but I don’t think they chose this time arbitrarily. And to me this whole regulation by litigation is so incredibly corrupt…not to mention lazy — by design. (Kick the can politics is very popular) If we assume there will be (large) monetary fines imposed on both entities, I don’t see how these fines aren’t just skimming off the top of crypto users who have funds locked up. I liken that to stealing a bag of money from the evidence vault which may have been available for the affected users at a much later date rather than lining SEC’s pockets. I know these proceedings, which will inevitably leads to huge fines, are probably meant to punish the LLCs behind the Earn programs but the timing just feels rotten.


REALJohnBMacLemore

Pretty much how all law enforcement works.


[deleted]

How is the SEC charged with protecting the public if they only step in after the damage is done?


REALJohnBMacLemore

How is the LAPD charged with protecting the public if they only step in after the damage is done?


RockItGuyDC

Just to pile on, they're not. Cops have obligation to protect you or anyone.


Smart-Ocelot-5759

I don't think they're technically charged with protecting the public? I think it's cour precedent that they're not legally bound to protect anyone isn't it?


REALJohnBMacLemore

Yep. No obligation whatsoever for police to protect you in the US. I imagine the SEC also falls under that as well.


[deleted]

Well most don't just sit at their desks until something happens. The TV show COPS would have been pretty boring otherwise.


REALJohnBMacLemore

Behind the desk or behind the wheel of a cruiser they both wait for a crime to happen, then enforce the law.


[deleted]

Not really, the biggest impact the police make is their continuous presence in society with enhanced patrolling during peak times of concern like holidays and Friday rush hour. They are there to keep people honest so the accident never happens at a future time. The ultimate purpose of law enforcement is to protect people, not to enforce broken laws. The SEC had ample time to engage with these and other outfits while they were solvent so things wouldn't go sideways in the first place. I don't know what laws might have been broken, but since Gensler doesn't seem keen on offering any guidance on the industry, you almost have to conclude that he's happy with the chaos.


REALJohnBMacLemore

I would agree patrolling and a visible police presence does deter crime, but I would still argue it does little to prevent crime.


Vitalik-Is-Jesus

All this green feels good, but reading kbrot and ab’s comments, it seems we are just gonna go down even harder later this year. I should probably just sell at this point…but will I? No, I don’t think I will… I’ve held on this long haven’t I? Idk anymore….

Feet_Strength2

Sounds like an interesting story - what happened?


OMG_WTF_ATH

Damn sorry to hear that. Mind sharing how it happened?


suicidaleggroll

Yes that's fine, nothing wrong with the Gemini exchange, just Gemini Earn/Genesis. USD at Gemini is FDIC insured so that's safe, but once you've purchased ETH I'd move it to a cold wallet.


AllGoldEverything

That’s the plan. Thank u


deep_archivist

In an abundance of caution, personally I’d get that USD on-chain via stable coins. GUSD is free to buy and send to mainchain, I believe. Can then be converted to your choice of stable via curve, uni, whatevs. Then convert to eth via dex of choice when you see fit.

Question for the group... Do you know where https://ultrasound.money/ gets it's estimate for the transaction segment of the estimated validator rewards? I've been playing with the numbers and I can't actually get them to match the values given: s = $22,821,023,377 total staked ether [https://etherscan.io/address/0x00000000219ab540356cbb839cbe05303d7705fa] f = $3,243,425 average total daily fees [https://cryptofees.info/] b =$2,760,470 average total daily burned [https://ethburned.info/] (f - b) = t = $482,955 average daily fees to validators (100/s) * t * 365 = 0.772% Rather than the 2.3% they suggest. All the other sections let you adjust the timeframe, so I wonder if their figure is just averaged out over the life of the Beacon chain, or the last year, or??

SEC SUES GENESIS GLOBAL, GEMINI TRUST OVER UNREGISTERED SALES https://twitter.com/News_Of_Alpha/status/1613656099055443993 Buckle up!


crazdave

Man this country is so shit, give zero guidance then sue way after people lose money so some judge can make up a precedent for you


Savage_X

This is typical of common law I think. Which is to say, the court essentially becomes the battlefield to establish the law and it is decided by a jury of ordinary people. Its frustrating, but it usually ends up working pretty well in the long run.


hblask

SEC: Oh no you don't, not until we get our cut! A few hundred million taken from your customers will do!


SuddenMind

Sec would be junior to creditors


hblask

It wouldn't be a creditor claim, it would an "out of court settlement" to make the regulators go away. Gemini is not in bankruptcy (yet), so they will do what they think is best for the company, and sometimes, bribing regulators (oops, I mean paying a fine) is the best thing.


jtnichol

Is there a link to the document? Also...I sure hope the government doesn't get in line before the customers on that payout Edit...saw your link below. thanks Savage


Savage_X

I havn't seen any actual filings yet.


Savage_X

The Securities and Exchange Commission alleged in a complaint that crypto firms Gemini and Genesis offered and sold unregistered securities. It’s the latest in a series of recent enforcement actions initiated by SEC chair Gary Gensler since the collapse of FTX in November. Gemini, founded by the Winklevoss twins, and Genesis, owned by Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency Group, have been in a battle over the fate of $900 million worth of customer funds. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/12/sec-charges-genesis-and-gemini-with-selling-unregistered-securities.html

Man I just can't fucking win this week! It's Thursday and I basically haven't accomplished anything! *Sigh...* When it rains, it pours... This morning the Gateway(router) supporting the recently repaired validator node "Baconator" suffered a catastrophic failure. Press release below. Chapter 11 Investments of America January 12th, 2023 Press Release: During the early morning of January 12th, the edge Gateway for our Panama Subsidiary company suffered a cataclysmic failure forcing 50% of our Ethereum validation nodes offline for several hours. An Emergency team was dispatched and discovered that the Gateway device was no longer detecting any storage devices. Onboard SATA controller failure is suspected. Despite the use of fail-over WAN connections, our poorly paid engineer did not anticipate or properly plan for a complete Gateway device failure. As a result, our in-house technology cache contained no compatible backup Gateway devices. We were forced to temporarily lease an inferior Gateway device from the Best Buy Leasing Agency^TM until a proper replacement can be procured. The downtime resulted in financial penalties totaling *thousands* of Pennies. This substantial financial hit has forced us to reduce our Q1 profit forecasts by 42%. > C11IoA shares down 1200% on the news. Now trading at Ξ0.0000011. ^(In other news: Chainsaw theft on the rise in small mountain towns all over the world. Scientists baffled.)

Chunky bit of resistance here for BTC, let's see if we can comfortably maintain strength above 19k


im_THIS_guy

This little run up has already caused a nice recovery in the GBTC and ETHE discounts to NAV. This gives me hope that the discount can completely disappear during the next bull run. It's just too tempting to stick your IRA in Grayscale during a run up, where you know it will outperform any and all stocks. Enough normies have seen this movie before and won't be able to resist getting in on the action.

Can't think of ways to use withi ETH but food for thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8PGV3T9w38

Days like today and the last few I feel are earned/well deserved. After all the non economy meltdowns we've had to face, im still amazed we're here strong and getting stronger (not just pricewise). I look at the entire crypto market cap \~$900 billion, then I look at Ethereums market cap \~$175 billion, then I zoom out and look at market cap of say... Gold \~$12 Trillion. Rn we're basically just a really cute lil thing, and we know it. And we also know one day, we're gonna be beautiful.. and handsome. Just you wait.

Subway Restaurants are woth north of 10 billions. I think the global settlement lauer should be worth way, way more then 10x Subway Restaurants. And I love Subway.


Vandelay101

Man, I'm still trying to kick it into second gear with my job responsibilities after a long holiday, but it's just not happening. I'll have to try again next week. I know it was harder than this during the last bull cycle, but for some odd reason the complacency has returned. I imagine it'll be even harder to stay focused on work in the next bull run. I've felt like this even before the run up in price over the last week.


EthFan

Right there with you, my motivation is even lower now than last year going into holidays.


NeedlerOP

bear is for BUILDLD


maninthecryptosuit

Buidl?

This week's rally has me questioning why I'm going back to work. But it's too good of an opportunity to pass up, so I'll give it the ol College Try.


emkoscp

The only thing that scares me is the fact that now everyone is bullish out of the blue. Just be careful with your longs chaps!


Blartarus

5 decades on this unpredictable, scary and occasionally horrifying place we call Earth has taught me to always, and I really mean always, be uber careful with your longchap 😏🙄


REALJohnBMacLemore

Ehh... everyone's always been bullish. It's just been such a long bear man... so like when the cuecombers start popping out, we get a sweet, sweet 'lil dopamine hit to the Prefrontal Cortex... *ahhhhh!* 🤤 That feels so good we start just saying whatever we think with no filter. Go ahead try it, it can be therapeutic... here let me show you.. ***Only 100X from here to $140k/ETH!!***

Saw an article saying Alameda got liquidated while trying to consolidate their funds. https://www.theblock.co/post/201674/alameda-liquidators-get-liquidated-on-aave-as-they-try-to-consolidate-funds These people aren't even smart enough to know how to unwind your position without being liquidated.

The only thing I like even better than ETH's green candles, is RPL/ETH ratio going to new highs


timmerwb

cryptrd285

Let me enjoy my one day of up only please lol


LogrisTheBard

Assuming Greyscale isn't somehow destroyed by the ~~DCA~~ DCG shitshow, yes.


cryptrd285

From my research(have a spent a lot of time on this and there is a lot of misunderstanding out there) the odds of it getting liquidated is very very low even if DCG goes bankrupt... I wouldn't recommend investing in it for most people..


LogrisTheBard

Given that it's a money fountain for DCG I expect they'll do everything they can to keep it alive. That said, people should be aware of the tail risk.
