  • From CryptoCred:

    I want to get involved in some DeFi stuff; especially to go dumpster diving on Uniswap with the boys.However.I’ve got $ETH at HTF resistance ($400). Don’t want to end up in a spot where I’ve allocated more capital to Ethereum at a shitty level.Above $400, I may hop in.

  • From Datavetaren:

    1/ Ok, this is going to be another aspect of Ethereum and the money supply problem. It’s quite technical so skip this one if you don’t bother.Today Ethereum relies on “fast sync.” It’s almost impossible to do a full sync from genesis as it will take a month (> 30 days) or so.

  • From Crypto_Bitlord:

    Critical information leak:Someone appears to have successfully exploited an inflation bug in #Ethereum Waiting on more information but it looks like they have the ability to freely print $ETH-This may also impact ERC 20 tokens.(Updates coming 22:00 GMT )
