Telegram Scam

  • New Telegram scam group makes a fake BCH Podcast group, including fake Jeremy/Jett admins & hundreds of members
  • All Podcast listeners should remain alert to scams
  • Never send anyone your seed phrase or private keys. Only send people BCH if you have a strong established relationship, definitely not in public groups or unverified private messages.
  • Verify links independently, use the “call back” method

LTC Reorg Attack

  • LTC has a 0 day bug, causing issues among miners
  • LTC suffers a 13 block (3h) reorg attack
  • NearIntents lose $600k in LTC, attacker cost $25k
  • ThorChain pauses LTC, DOGE and very briefly BCH swaps out of caution
  • Certainly an area that still needs ongoing innovation & protection, perhaps better DSP rollout / ZCEs or other script innovations will become more popular

That's called obsession

It's something that you live

The only single thing that matters

After your wife and your kids

​

Cos if you can't learn to float

Then you sink or you swim
