Hybrid Custody using Layer 2 Smart Vaults - Intro - POC Implementation & Technology Demo

POC Implementation: https://github.com/praveenbm5/SmartVaults
Hybrid Custody using Layer 2 Smart Vaults makes Bitcoin and other similar Altcoins Unstealable, Unlosable and Unconfiscatable for all practical purposes.
Hardware and software we use to secure our Bitcoin are most likely leaking critical information in ways we don't know yet to a myriad of entities not necessarily acting in our best interest.
This protocol assumes the worst will happen sooner or latter and provides recourse even in those situations.
Smart Vaults (Layer 2) are like Multisig or MPC Vaults on steroids. Key difference is that you can assign priorities to private-keys participating in a Smart Vault.

Next-Gen Scalable Security

1. "Unlocking" and "Spending" from your Smart Vaults are distinct events (transactions) with a programmable delay between them unlike MultiSig/MPC Vaults.
2. The mandatory "Unlock" which is visible on-chain as a transaction alerts all participants of a Smart Vault to take corrective actions if the unlock was not initiated by them in the first place.
3. When m private-keys are presumably used by an adversary to unlock-and-spend from your Smart Vault locked with n private-keys, you can use any m+1 private-keys upto n to override the malicious unlock-and-spend attempt and recover your Bitcoin before the preset delay expires i.e. m-to-n of n. (Assuming all private-keys have equal priority.)
4. Stealing becomes impossible unless adversaries have all the n private-keys.
5. Can be customized to allow some private-keys and combinations to override other private-keys and combinations.
6. Uses simple yet powerful Zero-Knowledge Proofs to determine which private-keys and combinations take precedence over other private-keys and combinations.
7. Protects against hacks, social engineering, insider fraud, etc.
8. Optional on-chain “Out of Band” Authentication & Autherization with Hardware Tokens (proprietary technology).

Supercharged Safety

1. Even 1 private-key is enough to recover your Bitcoin from Smart Vaults locked with n private-keys i.e. 1-to-n of n.
2. Can tolerate loss of n-1 private-keys
3. Useful for disaster management, accidental loss, unexpected death and factors beyond control.

Discussion

To put it briefly, Hybrid Custody is a framework built on top of Smart Vaults and combines the best of "Self Custody" and "Managed Custody".
You have absolute control of your private-keys and coins just like "Self Custody" and you can recover your Bitcoin even when all your private-keys are lost or stolen as if you opted for fully "Managed Custody" and you never needed to manage your private-keys to begin with. It's almost magic!
With just a simple MultiSig transaction and a couple of Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions distributed rather cleverly between the participants, Smart Vaults drastically increase the safety/security of your Bitcoin and even handle inheritance for you.
This repository demostrates the feasibility and steps involved during setup, termination and recovery from Smart Vaults in their most basic form with just one private-key from "User" and one private-key from "Ledger" who doubles up as a Hybrid Custody Provider.
Once you get this, you can easily extend your undertanding to include more factors/private-keys as well as complex contingency planning using multiple factors/private-keys from multiple participants.
The following explanation, videos and source code made available through this repository demonstrate Hybrid Custody as a service by Hardware Wallet vendors such as Ledger and Trezor.
Disclaimer: Ledger's name is used hypothetically as a Hybrid Custodian for ease of understanding and no relation is implied to Ledger or with anybody at Ledger.

My main account on UK msp was hacked due to a data breach. This sucks because it was a high level and I worked so hard on it. Since then I've been playing on USA, but I have been wanting to return to UK msp for a while now since I'm from the UK but the thought of starting over is so daunting. I have made a new account but it's so basic and has no star coins. I can't afford to buy more vip. I was wondering if anyone was willing to give me some spare vip tickets if you have any? I would really appreciate the help! My account on UK is: _ Fabby _ (no spaces)
you can also add my USA account: SparrowHyp3r
Thank you for all the help x

I think any adult who has age verification should have the option to engage in adult activities in the privacy of there own home on avakin here's why I think so because if we're gonna go through the process of getting age verification why can't we have more benefits from it not just having adult conversations in public or at home using strong language why can't it be 1 step further? And to let people know that will say there's a rule on avakin about adult activities I know this i saw it when they posted about age verification and that 1 rule is the reason for this post to exist which leads me to ask why does that rule exist if only adults can get access to the age verified servers and age verified homes? The process for age verification has people do facial scanning or they have to take a picture of there ID or Driver's license to prove there a adult so unless a kid hacks the system or illegally shows a fake ID to get age verification there's no way a kid can get age verification so again why does the rule of no adult activities exist in age verified places? There are adults who pay for stuff in avakin that buy vip buy crowns buy coins you even have to spend a little money to get age verification so if LKWD is getting profit from the adults who are paying for stuff why can't LKWD remove that rule for the adults who do wanna take part in adult activities in age verified places and not have to worry about being banned? Or suspended? To me that rule is pointless now because that rule existed because there's kids on the game and to protect minors from predators well again kids can't get access to age verified places unless they do stuff illegally to get in. Here is the thing kids get on imvu all the time but they have ap on imvu and adults participate in adult activities all the time on there and there is no rule saying they can't only if it's in private or in a ap server someone told me once people can't do that stuff on imvu I been on imvu for 8 years almost 9 years now and I'm fully aware of what people do on imvu and what the rules are the only places you can't engage in adult activities is in a regular public server or if a house is on public mode so the option on imvu is available for people who want to participate in adult activities on imvu avakin literally takes ideas from imvu and quite honestly avakin is turning into imvu 2.0 the only difference is the selection of items and servers etc.. are fewer on avakin and you can't participate in adult activities and wear mature accessories or clothing on avakin YET. so I wanna hear what everyone thinks if LKWD should remove the no adult activities rule or if not why? Because originally avakin life was a adult game I was around to know that and the only reason why they changed it was because of the kids now with age verification they can go back to when avakin was a adult game and make it enjoyable for the adults I been on avakin life for 9 years I've seen the game evolve and again I know the rules I'm just posting this to hear what people think should happen and why this is my opinion people can take it or leave it.

I will start by saying I should know better. Over 60k in coins were stolen from my coinbase wallet. I received a call from an 800 number saying that there was an unauthorized attempt move funds from Coinbase and to press 1 if it was not me. Then I received a call from a fake Coinbase fraud department. They said it would be good to create a coinbase wallet and move the coins to the wallet. The person walked me through creating the wallet. During this process no personal or account information was shared. I was able to successfully transfer the coins. At the end of the process, they asked me to click on a link to finalize the process.
Then my coins started disappearing from my wallet. I called coinbase and they said they could not offer me any help. Is there is anything I can do?

I was talking to a friend of mine on what I think a good raid in Warframe could look like and he thought I should share the idea here so I would like to hear what you guys think.
ALTHOUGH I DON’T THINK I WENT INTO ANY SPOILER TERRITORY I STILL WANT TO WARN THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOT DONE THE DEADLOCK PROTOCOL NOR CALL OF THE TEMPESTARII. I WILL TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE REVEALED IN THESE QUESTS. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT MAJOR SPOILERS, SOME MAY CONSIDER IT SPOILERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Assault on Parvo Granum's Ship

Tenno, we have located Parvo Granum ship's in the Neptune Proxima Sector. Your mission is to infiltrate his ship and eliminate Parvo Granum. Be cautious, he has armed his forces with all the military equipment money can buy. This may be your most challenging assignment yet; you will need reinforcements from your fellow Tenno. - Lotus
Pre-Raid
To unlock the raid, you will need to have completed all nodes in steel path, completed the quests The New War, and Call of the Tempestarii. There will be a solo quest to unlock it called "Locating Parvos Granum" where you will do a "light" version of the raid to understand how the raid will work. After you finish it, a new node will be unlocked, a Relay which serves as the Hub to the raid which has the market for the raid and a leaderboard.
The quest will be a solo quest, the normal version will be a 1 squad 4 player raid, then the true raid (Steel Path) will be a 4 squad 16 player raid. Steel Path Raid will only unlock when you have completed the normal raid at least once.

Phase 0: Raid Prep

• On the Normal Raid you will select one player to be the host for the Railjack (host for the raid will be the one with the best overall connection).
• On Steel Path Raid you will have 4 teams (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta) to pick from. Each team will select 1 player to be the host for the Railjack (host for the raid will be the one with the best overall connection across all 16 players).
  • A new chat box will also open called "Raid Team" which includes all 16 players
  • When a player types there, a [A], [B], [C], or [D] will appear near their name to show what team they are on
• On both raids you will see what gear each player is bringing into the raid and are able to edit your gear prior to starting the raid.

Phase 1: Railjack Assault

Tenno, there it is, the Creator of Enormous Opportunities (C.E.O.). It is more heavily guarded then we expected. You will need to destroy the surrounding ships to create an opening. Be careful, they have already spotted you. - Lotus
The mission will start in your Railjack. Your objective is similar to Railjack missions in which you will have to destroy Fighter Crafts, Crewships, and board the Corpus Capital Ships to destroy the shield that guards the C.E.O.

• In the story mission you will be provided with Warframe specters instead of crew members if you do not have crew members for your Railjack.
• In the story mission, there will be 1 Pillar, the normal raid there will be 2 Stanchion, and the Steel Path will have 8 Obelisk.
• The objective is to destroy the Corpus Capital Ships while not letting any of the Railjacks get destroyed nor running out of lives.
• As the mission progresses, more Fighter Crafts and Crewships will spawn trying to destroy the Railjacks.
• Inside each of the Corpus Capital Ships you will fight a Spector Warframe that will drop part of a key to disable the shields protecting the core of the ship.
• When you destroy the core, the ship will start to blow up and you need to leave before the counter reaches zero. Along the way, the doors will be sealed and you need to hack some doors, blow up doors, or kill Spector Warframes to unlock the doors. Failure to leave in time will cause the core to explode and you to lose a life
• Once all the Capital Ships are destroyed, the C.E.O. is exposed and you can now board it

Phase 2: Infiltrate

Tenno, this C.E.O. is different, it is using an adaptive firewall that cannot be hacked the conventional way. We must stop its adaptation before I can hack into the systems to disable the... Oh no, life support systems are down and multiple reinforcements are on the way! Hack into the systems, keep the oxygen flowing, and stop the reinforcement before it is too late! - Lotus
Phase 2 will have you start at a central point with 5 doors.

• The main door in the middle (Door 5) will have multiple layers of lasers (aka the Adaptive Firewall).
• Door 1 will be an endless survival mission.
  • All oxygen gain in this survival mission will be applied to all squads across the raid
    • Solo Story depletes 1/2 as fast
    • Normal Raid will deplete as normal
    • Steel path will deplete twice as fast
  • At random moments a Special Corpus unit will spawn and will deplete the oxygen faster (like the thrax on Lua)
• Door 2 will be an endless defense mission.
  • At the center there will be the C.E.O. Mainframe Computer
    • Solo Story will have 1 wave of defense sometimes towards the middle of phase 2
    • Normal Raid will have random waves that spawn and will alert the players when they are about to happen
    • Steel Path Raid will always have enemies spawning
  • Lotus will be focused on using it to hack the Firewall while the Corpus will try to destroy it to prevent you from breaking in
  • At random moments a Special Corpus unit will spawn that will either do more damage to the Mainframe, implant a virus that will cause a D.O.T. on the Mainframe, or undo some of your progress if they either get to the Mainframe or successfully use a terminal (like how the murmurs spawn the Necramechs)
• Door 3 will be an endless disruption mission.
  • Each successful terminal will give lotus data to be able to hack the Mainframe
    • Solo Story will have a fast-hacking progress
    • Normal Raid will have a medium hacking progress
    • Steel path will have a slow hacking progress
  • Each failed terminal will give less data to lotus
    • If all 4 fails, the hacking stops and the progress goes down as the Adaptive Firewall recuperates
    • At 3 fails, it slowly recuperates
    • At 2 fails it stagnates
    • At 1 fail it goes up slowly
    • At 0 fails it goes up quickly
  • At random moments a Special Corpus unit will spawn (not the Demolysts, they spawn as normal) that can only be taken down by a Necramech
    • They will head towards a terminal and destroy it even if the key was not placed on it
    • Unlike Demolysts, they do not blow themselves up but instead will move on to the next terminal
    • Unlike normal disruption, the 4 terminals will be in different rooms to prevent this special unit from destroying two terminals in rapid succession
• Door 4 will be an endless exterminate mission
  • Unlike the survival mission, this one does not drop oxygen
  • What this does though is spawn reinforcements for the other 3 doors
  • If enemies are not killed fast enough here, they will overflow into the other missions making them harder
    • Solo Story will alert you when the spawns have increased once
    • Normal Raid will spawn waves at random and you need to go there to decrease the spawns temporarily
    • Steel path will constantly spawn enemies
  • At random moments a Special Corpus unit will spawn that will cause the corpus to invade one door instead of evenly spread across the 3 doors
    • As long as this unit is alive, that chosen door will continuously get an increase in spawn, level, and have more special units spawn
    • Randomly an Elite Special Corpus unit will spawn that will apply this to all doors instead of just 1
• The mission succeeds if Lotus is able to finish hacking the Mainframe
• The mission fails if 1. The oxygen runs out
  • 2) The main frame computer is destroyed
  • 3) All player's lives are exhausted
• All 4 doors will have an extraction point unlocked from the start so you can leave and chose a different door at any time
• If a team is in a door (let’s say the exterminate door) and a second team goes in it, they join the other team in the mission

After going back and forth between these 4 doors, door 5 will open and you will move on to the last pahse.

Phase 3: Parvos Granum

Tenno. What an honor for you to join me in this important business meeting. I was about to show these investors what true power my new creations have brought except, we did not have test subjects. Thank you for investing your bodies to the Corpus cause. - Parvos Granum
Tenno. Be careful, my scanners are [static] up an [static]high energy [static]. It [static]unlike anything [long static] seen before. This [static] mistake, retreat now! - Lotus
Too late Lotus - Parvos Granum
Phase 3 is a boss battle with Parvos Granum, The Sisters of Parvos, and his new MOA, Corpus' Tenno Obliterator (C.T.O.)

• Parvos Granum will cause random debuffs such as energy drain, nullification field (aka no Warframe abilities), toxic gas, etc.
  • When you spawn in the room, a debuff will be triggered
  • Solo Story will have a long cooldown between effects
  • Normal Raid will have medium cooldown
  • Steel path will have a short cooldown and multiple debuffs can be triggered at the same time
• The Sisters of Parvos will be there to get in the way of the Tennos
  • Solo Story will spawn 1
  • Normal Raid will spawn 4
  • Steel path will spawn 4 at once but will rotate between 10 random sisters
  • Each sister will spawn with a random Tenet gun (Steel path will spawn with all 10 guns)
  • When you down a sister, one of them (picked at random) will drop a key
  • After collecting the key, you can neutralize the debuff for a short time
  • After a certain amount of time has passed, they will pick themselves up and start fighting again
• The C.T.O. will be in the center of the arena shooting the Tennos
  • It is initially immune to damage
  • To damage it, you need to hack a terminal that will dispense canisters of coolant which will cause the shields to disable for a few seconds
    • Solo Story will last for 10 seconds
    • Normal Raid will last for 5 seconds
    • Steel path will last for 2 seconds
  • If it takes a certain amount of damage in a short time frame, it goes into overclock mode
    • Overclock increases damage, increases attack speed, and becomes immune to damage
    • To stop overclock mode, coolant canisters need to be thrown at it
• The mission succeeds after the C.T.O. is destroyed
• The mission fails if every Tenno loses all their lives

After killing everything, exhausted the Tenno approaches Parvos Gran who is on the verge of death only to find out it is a specter.
So these new specters were able to fool even the Lotus. Imagine how our companies will be if we can always be there, watching over them. - Investor A
I agree, we can essentially live forever without the same drawbacks as the Queens had with Kuva. - Investor B
Though it is still in its early stages, I am excited to see how you will improve this Parvos - Investor C
Thank you. Now onto our next agenda. Oh, and Tenno, thank you too for investing in the Corpus cause - Parvos Granum
Once all that is done, we find out that Parvos left some of his investments in the ship (aka our loot). We collect it and extract

Reward

This is the part that I do not really know the best way to handle but I do have some general ideas

1. The reward here needs to be exclusive. Even if D.E. makes a new raid in the future, these rewards cannot be shared to keep each raid valuable
2. On that same note, they cannot be traded, only earned
3. The different tires will give you different rewards
   1. Solo Story will unlock the raid
   2. Normal Raid will reveille 4 rewards and you pick 1 (like how relics work)
   3. Steel path will reveille 16 rewards and you pick 4 (like how relics work)
4. The rewards are drawn from a pool of rewards
   1. The common pool will include a "Corpus Coin" which can be used to buy common rewards in the raid relay
   2. The uncommon pool will include a "Corpus Void Infuser" which can crack open a relic without you having to run void fissures
   3. The rare pool will include exclusive weapons and by getting the weapons, you unlock their skins to be used in weapons of the same category
   4. An exclusive skin for the Warframe you used in the raid (only available in the Steel Path Raid) that you automatically get when you finish the raid
5. You get a certain amount of rewards from the reward pool per week (let’s say 5 like now the Netracells are) and after that you only get "Corpus Coin" as a reward
6. In the relay shop, you can buy evergreen items like relic packs, arcanes, endo, credits, kuva, universal medallions, etc... I don't know where would be fair to draw the line but there needs to be a reason to run the raid even after you have done your weekly runs

Conclusion

Thank you for joining my Ted Talk, and I would love to hear your suggestions on how to make this better. Any edits I do I will include the old version below as a record of how it has changed (if this post gets a lot of views/comments)
Edit 1: Grammar
Edit 2: Changed the sister spawn in Steel path from 10 to 4 at once
Edit 3: Changed the ending from:
After the C.T.O. is destroyed, I can see a few different scenarios depending on how D.E. wants the story to progress

1. We find out that the Parvos Granum we fought was a new, more intelligent specter, and the real Parvos is on another C.E.O. ship collecting data for the next C.T.O./Spector
2. The investors are not happy with the C.T.O. and decide not to invest and Parvos furious escapes
3. We harm Parvos leaving him with some kind of skar and he swears he will return with an improved C.T.O.

A few days ago, I received a file from a journalist friend who teaches at a private university in Montevideo. I known this person for years now and the exchange with her on our countless bar nights basically made me want to try to study journalism. After I started my career we became even closer and we shared concerns about the evolution of information, social media and the infamous cerebral callosity we acquired to endure the tragedy.
My friend, let's call her Valeria, was part of a public competition to accompany a minor scientific expedition to the Uruguayan Antarctic base. Her thesis was about investigating how information reception behaves in remote and isolated areas.
I barely read it , but basically tries to show that information circulates and is received in a particular way in these circumstances by a group of unfamiliar people living under extreme climatic and isolation conditions, having as an example, life in submarines and in military bases in Siberia. The Antarctic base gave her the chance to observe some of her postulates up close.
Finally, she was chosen and traveled with this scientific group in a commercial flight Montevideo - Santiago de Chile to later arrive at Punta Arenas and fly to the Antarctic base.
The last communication I had with her before she sent me the almost 90 photographic captures of the Journal, was on March 15, 2024.
We talked over the phone about how the weather was in Montevideo, that it does not stop raining and the cars are practically floating on the streets. She told me that the transport that was going to take them back was having mechanical problems and they would probably have to order spare parts for the plane from Punta Arenas. Then She told me that it is freaking cold down there and his colleagues are all very boring. Nobody has whisky for the evenings. We laughed about that part because I told her to bring at least one bottle of Grappa in her purse.
Before saying goodbye, she told me they had spotted some old metal structures south of the base. The soldiers told her that it was safe to go near that part so she was going to explore them. It wasn't there when they first arrived and that the recent and atypical heat wave probably must have exposed it. I told her to be careful and we said goodbyes.
Three days later I received an email. “Valeria shared a file with you.” As I start to see what it was about she calls me.
“Mauro? MAURO!, can you hear me?” She said in a nervous and excited voice.
“I can barely hear you, what happened?”I asked half asleep, while still lying on my bed.
“Listen to me carefully, don't talk, just listen” I could tell by her agitation that she was walking fast or maybe running. The creaking footsteps in the snow could be heard in the background. in the distance, a catastrophe-type siren was blaring.
“Are you alright? What happened? What's that noise?” I said, now sitting on the edge of my bed.
“I sent you a file. Transfer it to a flash drive, delete history and reset your cell phone, the computer and your email address. I'll explain everything later, it'll be worth it.”
“What? What are you talking about Vale?, what for? Tell me what's going on - I started to yell at her, in slide panic.
“Listen, I found something that is not supposed to exist. In the diary he explains everything. I'm going back to the base, I think someone is following me, I set off an alarm or something. Save that file for me until I get there and remember that... “
There were two loud booms and the sound of water invading the transmission. A choked bubbling and cracking sound reminded me of ice collapsing. My friend had fallen into the water, in Antarctica.
“HEY, are you OK?! What happened?!” - I kept screaming hysterically until the call was cut off.
I looked at my cell phone for a second. My hands were shaking, I tried calling several times but the phone went dead. I looked at the compressed file. I jumped up and ran to the dining room furniture, frantically looking for a white flash drive that had to be in a drawer somewhere. I couldn't find it, so I went back to my desk. I pulled the drawer so hard that it came off the rail and fell to the floor. I started to dig through my belongings on the floor, coins, papers, cards, nothing.
I thought, I struggled to remember where I had fucking put it. Finally I saw my backpack peeking out from behind the desk chair, I jumped on it and in the second small pocket from the inside, there was a cheap white 16G flash drive. I put it in the pc, downloaded the file directly there, took it out and fabric restored the entire system on the computer. I do the same with my cell phone as Valeria said.
At the time I didn't even question if those measures really prevented me from being tracked, and the idea that that was the reason made panic run through my body like lightning. Sitting on the floor of my room next to the mess, my body was numb with tension. After a few seconds, I rebooted my cell phone to try to call Lucia, her sister.
“Hello?”
“Lucia, it's that you? I think something bad happened to Vale, I hear her over the phone as if she fell into the water, and some rumbling. I don't know what I heard, I think she got into some trouble or some place she shouldn't have been - I realized that I was mumble and not saying anything clear. For some reason, I didn't mention the file.
“It can't be Mauro, I just spoke to her on the phone. She was at the airport in Santiago de Chile at the boarding lounge, we talked for about half an hour, she told me she was bringing a fancy bourbon to share and…”
I stopped listening, it didn't make sense, how could it be? what the fuck is going on!
“Mauro, are you ok? Is something wrong? it's too early, are you sure you didn't dream it?”
“Did you talk to her? half an hour ago? But...,” I exclaimed without being able to hide my confusion.
“Are you... sure it was her?”
“Yes, of course you moron, it's my sister! Did you smoke pot again on an empty stomach?”
“No, you're right, nevermind, thanks Lucia, talk to you soon.” I ended the call without letting her say goodbye.
Had I dreamt about it? I erased everything now, how will I know if I dreamt it? I hesitated absurdly.
This is surreal, I thought to myself as I looked at the flash drive in my hand. I refocused my attention and went to the attic looking for my brother's old laptop he left me before going to live in Spain. It was practically useless, but it was enough to see the file. I turned it on, waited for the decrepit Windows XP to load, and put the flashdisk in, opened the compressed folder and found two files.
“LabNotes.pdf”
“PersonalDiary.pdf”
I decided to open the journal first. From what I interpreted from the loading order of the screenshots, after reading it, I opened the image of the last page.
I transcribe as is.
Day 243 of the 2nd mission 10: 40 am. March 12, 2019.
I am the head researcher of the Psychological Area at the UN Antarctic base; I'm currently assigned to Project Sisyphus categorized as the highest classified rank.
This is going to sound crazy, but the person living with my family is my clone.
It still surprises me when I say it out loud, but after being able to replicate the brain-muscular history (a perfect copy of our memory) of any person and having mastered replicating every cell of our bodies at any age, it was only a matter of time before the development of social biotechnology would emerge. Now and by worldwide agreement, as a complete secret.
There is absolutely no shame or a shred of ethics in what we do, there is no longer any constraint on what we can do to the subjects for the sake of research. That haunts me every day.
It all went to shit so fast, I doubt anyone will come to our rescue. The protocol says so, the base in the face of an imminent security risk will erase itself. The structure was designed to collapse methodically following a protocol of incineration and sinking. The immediate perimeter has underwater mines that make the ice collapse almost imperceptibly, but deadly to anyone who tries to leave.
No one can escape from the base, neither the research staff nor the subjects. Our place in the world is already taken.
I only hope that this journal along with my lab notes will be found at some point. I managed to construct a small insulating gasket for it so I trust it will survive in case this part of the building collapses as well.
Please use this data to let the world know what happened here and don't let perversity define us once again.
To my family: I love you and miss you every minute.
B.
At the exact moment I ended the reading I received a video call that made me jump with fright, it is...
Valeria.
With my pulse shaking, I answered the call.
“Hi you! The flight was delayed, can you believe it? This one is absolutely in my top three, worst trips of my life. I'm really hungry and everything is so expensive here. What are you up to? Tell me something, please, I'm soooo bored!”
I looked at her with confusion and I couldn't manage to pronounce words. When I was about to modulate an answer she interrupted me.
“What's the matter Mauro?, are you on pause? Is the signal OK? HELLO! Can you hear me? Can you see me?” She started to walk through the boarding lounge looking for better signal
“Yes yes, Valeria I can hear you.”
She laughed and looked at me with a face between sensual and serious, and continued.
“Do you miss me?” while raising the phone jokingly as she typically does in her selfie pose.
“Valeria, don't you remember calling me earlier today?”
“I? called you? Nop. Why? Ah! By the way, did you know there are penguins in Tierra del Fuego? I would have liked to go and see them.” She continued his verbose conversation in a carefree tone, with her typical hand gestures and playing with his hair.
“Well, at last!” She interrupted herself and shouted, jumping up from her chair.
“We are being called to board, see you in a couple hours!” She said goodbye with a smiling sonority, and began to walk towards the boarding gate.
But at the last second, before ending the call, her gesture changed. She looked directly at the camera with a hardened and emotionless face and almost mechanically, she whispered.
“(I'm going to retrieve that diary).”
My stomach dropped to the floor and I could feel as if my blood was running cold with fear. I could not shake the awful and eerie feeling that this person, who was returning, whom I had never in my life called by her full name, was not my friend.
So, the next couple of hours I put everything in to transcribe the rest of important passages of the diary. Something was compelling me to do it, i can't explain it, Some mix between moral duty, and morbid curiosity. Here is my selection of it.
Lab notes. day 96 of 1st mission 08:00 am December 22, 2016.
Subject JON X012:
First physical assessments: Normal, alert and inquisitive, exhibits some alteration to screens.
We place 100 cc of sedative in room air. The subject attentively follows the narrative of scenario B5 “The last mission”.
The subject responds positively to the premises of the story, where he is asked to address an audience threatened by a natural disaster, convincing them to choose a certain path out of the city.
He offers to collaborate but fails to articulate the message with the power to overcome the simulation.
We resort to pouring 125cc of concentrated Psilocybin into the air as stipulated in the protocol sheet.
The vocal frequency and body language reading receptors in the observation room are activated. The subject manages to formulate a series of premises articulately and with discursive power, circulating around the observation room.
Successful reaction.
We move on to the next stage.
Case is filed under the label “Jobs Project.”
Diary entry: Day 96 of the 1st mission 21:30 pm. December 22, 2016.
Today they transferred subject JON X0012 for psychological evaluation, several in the lab were very anxious about this arrival. I was never the religious type, but I can understand why. Truth be told,
I always imagined Jesus would be taller.
*********
Day 106 of the 1st mission 08:00 am January 02, 2017
Today we received a new lab assistant for the night shift. Much needed as I was covering these shifts myself and am really burned out. The underground operates at full power at those hours, the hum of the machinery becomes unbearable. This must be why the rooms have an insulating structure.
********
Day 112 of the 1st mission 19:00 pm January 08, 2017.
The new integration is not very bright. He labeled the transcripts wrong again yesterday and doesn't seem to fully understand the importance of these. I'm going to have to go through the whole method with him again. I don't have much patience lately, it's not his fault, he seems like a nice guy and it's real that I need a second of confidence. Better train him from now on. Maybe start a sketch of a short explanatory document.
*******
Small introductory guide.
When the subjects conclude the incubation and breeding process (pages 19 to 52 of the manual), that is to say, that they have at least remembered speech and with it, depending on the time in which they lived, reading and writing, they generally begin to perceive themselves. Just before situational curiosity is when the psychology department comes into action. Either to run the “stand by” simulation or the main tests.
In each subject's file is the target of their cloning, the era in which they lived, and the recommended scenarios to trigger the desired response. If the file has X amount on the cover, this corresponds to the generation of the subject, whether it is the first or 10th time it is incubated.
Generally, it takes between 2 and 5 attempts to generate the correct simulation, and administer the appropriate drugs.
It took 5 attempts to come up with the correct amount of methamphetamine that subject AH X005 (Hitler) needed to function in the scenario, as the correct amount bordered on overdose.
Simulations are much easier since the implementation of multisensor AI. We managed to generate almost any scenario including temperature, smells, lights and sounds. We tried not to use familiar ones, as human smells are impossible to replicate. We found this out in a complicated way. We tried to recreate a conversation between RR subject X003 (Reagan) and his mother, but he recognized the fakery by the absence of body odor. His mind collapsed and we had to move him to the Underground. The people in Area C (Private Clients) almost lost a very large Chinese account.
After calibrating the subject, we ran both psychological and behavioral tests, scanned retinas, analyzed blood, as well as vocal and body language. But what has really yielded surprising results are the free interviews. It is amazing what some minds are capable of with the right environmental and chemical stimulation. That's why transcription is vital (!!)
Our area develops BC (Behavioral Algorithms) which are then bought by the private sector, and some government agencies.
To give you some examples: Twitter was an idea of subject JO X008 (Orwell).
Bots in social media and the use of big data was an idea of JG X002 (Goebbels) and KM X014`s worst nightmare (Marx) was bought by Amazon.
It is an arduous process and the success rate is low, but when we achieve the goal per subject, well, these results are a mein part of the latest revolutions of mankind.
So follow the lab rules, never refer to subjects by their actual historical name, and always remember, they are assets, not people.
***********
Day 117 of the 1st mission 16:30 am January 12, 2017.
Today is a rest day all over area D. I miss many things from the old world that I thought I would never miss, taking a bus, standing in line with strangers, and today I miss Sundays. We only have one on the month. So as usual we gather in the rest area to listen to a liberated jukebox that tries to lighten the mood. I know, right? Why I wrote about this “Saturday” photocopy, well besides the same nostalgic drunks, I was approached by a person I didn't recognize.
From what I understood he was a rehabilitated alcoholic, maybe that's why I didn't see him on “Saturdays”. He must be in his 50's, he was portly and wore thick black-rimmed glasses, he seemed to have a slight limp, I noticed it when he went to refill my beer.
I am a very reserved person and find it hard to talk to people. Truth be told, I've lost the desire to talk to people here. What can you actualy fucking talk about here, if it's not about the same thing. Everything revolves around work and some inter-area gossip, which never escalates much.
But yesterday was Clara's birthday and to hide the remorse and sadness of only having shared with her the first 3 years of her life, I had a few too many beers.
We chatted about banal aspects of life in isolation, and the things we miss. For him it was going to the stadium to watch soccer with his grandchildren. I think it was loneliness and nostalgia that brought us together that night.
His name was Sigfried, I don't know if I spelled it right, but it was clearly Nordic, i notice because of some of the words he mixed up with English. He works as the underground level security manager. We all know that it is one of the most restricted areas and what we have learned in these almost 10 years in the project, is that the more restricted, the less questions you should ask.
But that day, I think I felt the urge to hurt myself, to go off the rails, so I asked what we all suspected but no one knew for sure. I asked about the blenders. I wish I hadn't.
************
Day 126 of the 1st mission 08:00 am January 21, 2017.
I almost can't express how furious I am today, but I'm going to try because if I don't, I'm going to punch the new assistant in the face. He has nothing to do with this, he's just mildly irritating.
Anyway, in Genetic Mapping or area A, they approved the incubation of another Anomaly. It seems to be an express request from a major shareholder and there is not much to say. Anomalies are very risky to reproduce, nature is wise, and for some reason it placed them in history moments where they had their limitations.
It seems that after the crisis of 2010 with “The Russian Devil” it is no longer scary enough. New school morons... If they had been there they wouldn't even dare to think about it. I AM FURIOUS.
The arguments are that this case lived longer, that the clone would be in his 70s, and that he possessed noticeably more “civilized” traits. As if the court of the last Zar had not been somewhat civilized.
Personally I think this is a big mistake. Since the discovery that some people possess unknown DNA components and with the 2010 background, they should draw the line. There are certain things, still beyond our ability to understand. But it is delusional of me to think that there are limits, someday the absence of them will consume us all.

Lab notes day 142 of 1st mission 08:00 am February 06, 2017.
Final free interview with JON subject X012
Scenario B-24 or “The Dinner Party” Result: Normal.
Notes: Subject is grateful, positive, docile and hopeful for the future. Offers to cook next time by asking for spices and ingredients of typical Hindu dishes.
The subject is directed to the Underground area.
Attached audio for transcription.
Case is filed under the label “Jobs Project”.
**********
Day 142 of the 1st mission 21:00 pm February 06, 2017.
Today was the last session with subject JON X012, I managed to extract the last retinal and body language readings, as usual before sending them to Underground level. We ran the dinner scenario, the truth is that is one of the best simulations we have achieved. The subjects are relaxed resulting in the best free interview environment. This one was no exception, I must say I understand the charm of the “messiah” turned out to be quite an entertaining subject. I hope his next generation will be similar.
**********
Day 152 of the 1st mission 19:00 pm February 16, 2017.
I was tasked with the continuous monitoring of subject NT X004. I am not at all happy with this transfer. First of all, I know nothing about area B of engineering and technology. Secondly, I still think this is a really bad idea.
One of the laboratories has been set up with the essential simulation equipment and personnel. Tomorrow we start with the calibration.
**********
Lab notes day 153 of the 1st mission 08:00 am February 17, 2017.
First interview with subject NT X004, we run simulation scenario 54-A, “Signal from another planet.”
Subject is observed to be receptive at first but quickly changes to paranoid. We administer 300cc of MDMA via air, according to protocol.
We introduce the reconstructed figure of a colleague in a cry for help speech.
The Subject laughs and doesn't believe a word, we move to a physical approach plane,
I volunteer myself with a room operator from the engineering area, we show him unfinished plans of an experimental vacuum propulsion engine.
He laughs again and tells us that we are not who we say we are.
We administer 50cc of DMT and move on to the next scenario.
From the screen an astronaut with non-human features sends a distress signal and intergalactic coordinates.
The subject looks thoughtful, reassesses, picks up the blueprints and begins to shout out values and what appears to be mathematical and physical formulas.
Air is charged with percentages of absolute sedation.
Audio recording is attached.
It is filed under the name “Project SpaceX.”
**********
Day 153 of the 1st mission 21:00 pm February 17, 2017.
I'm not sure what happened today, this is the first time in 10 years that a subject overcame the deception of 3 simulations. We had to place absolute sedation in the air, as risky as we know it is. I recommended that we restart the process from scratch, but it was a resounding no, the client is in a hurry.
I need to get more involved in this case to recalibrate the subject. I don't know if I want to. The words before full sedation still resonate with me. “are you still using DC current? interesting...”
**********
Day 154 of the 1st mission 21:00 pm February 18, 2017.
Something happened, I don't quite know what. The rooms have an emergency lockdown active. Outside hear security personnel mobilizing. I tried the intercom but it didn't work. The insulation prevents my screams from being heard from the outside. If this goes on another day I'm going to break the lock. I'm going to set my backpack to the bare minimum.
**********
Day 157 of the 1st mission 21:00 pm February 21, 2017.
Yesterday I heard explosions in the B area. I couldn't take it anymore and broke the lock. Whatever it was I had to go out and see. The corridors were dark, and the underground buzzer went on, at least that worked.
I went right to the north staircase, down the 4 floors in near darkness, the power was failing. The entrance to the underground area was barricaded but I managed to see a figure peeking out from inside as they felt me making noises.
It was Sigfried, he pointed me in the doors direction and I entered through a heavily armored side door. I was surprised by the immensity of this section, it encompassed a large hall below almost all the sectors of the base. In front of us there were 4 large industrial pipes with switches and multiple smaller pipes coming out of their bases. These were repeated like mosaics throughout the area until they disappeared into the distance in the darkness.
Leaning against one of them were 3 officers in formerly white coats and a nearly dead guard bloodied on the floor. Poor guy, his legs were crushed with his flesh in the open. He was lying in a pool of his own blood.
He had a blank stare and was panting, it seemed from the pale of his skin, that his fate was imminent. My asthma began to pound in my chest sharply, so I reached into my bag looking for my inhaler. I told them between visible gasps of bad breath to please tell me what's happened.
One of the doctors had a badge from area B and another from area E which corresponds to bio-armamentistics. The latter burst into tears and said “We deserve it, every one of us, we deserve it”.
I knew the other guy, he is an engineer in area B. I could hear him babbling almost nonsensically about, as why they never thought about it, an issue with electrical power.
He looked at me carefully as if recognizing me and grabbed me tightly by my jacket pulling me close to his face transformed for the panic.
“He let them out, all of them!” but not only that, no no no no... he told them the truth. Nikola fucking Tesla hacked us and told them the truth.”
He began to laugh frantically with a face of absurdity until he burst into a choked cry. At that moment everything went dark. The emergency lights activated, and from far away and getting closer, along with the emergency sirens that began to sound, we heard a large mass of people screaming and running through the corridors outside.
Sigfried looked at me as they started to pound on the shielded door and said.
“We're fucked.”
**************
Day xx of the second mission, month xx of 2017
“()The industrial sounds of spinning blades, the cries for mercy followed by the thunderous, liquid crack, down that big pipe, into the green barrels, with the Monsanto logo, dripped down one side an elongated drop of pink paste ending in the letter E on the chemical label. FERTILIZER.”
**********
After finishing the transcription, my whole body began to want to flee, the walls of my house were tinged with a faint blue light as the cloudy dusk came through the window, the lights turned off by my abstraction at the computer gave way to the dark corridors that began to feel alien. As I gently closed the pc my ears began to ring as if under pressure, my breathing became more present and the vibration of my cell phone interrupted my trance.
A call from the office. It was to tell me that I had a vacation week pending, that by schedule, I had to take it starting today.
Sons of bitches, now they even choose your time off - I thought at first, but at the same time I found the voice on the phone very strange, and to tell the truth, the procedure itself.
The anger turned into confusion that only added to the paranoia. The sounds in the street began to seem erratic, a chaotic and strangely familiar feeling came over me. My senses seemed increasingly acute, and they screamed:
Go away.
I grabbed the old laptop, the flash drive and headed for the bus station. The short trip from my house seemed like a long journey. People on the street looked at me with strange faces, the cell phone kept ringing with unknown numbers on the screen and a strange idea began to formulate in my head that whispered “Them, Valeria is one of Them”.
Already on the platforms I rummaged through my backpack where I confirmed that I had the key to the family beach house in San Luis, 60 km to the east of Montevideo. I turned off my cell phone, got on a bus heading to another and much far away town called Treinta y Tres. Sat near the last seat and slipped my cell phone in my front pocket of the seat in front of me, got off and commented to the driver with a clueless face, “I got confused, I'm going to the coast”.
I almost jumped onto the steps of the correct bus to where I was heading, unable to avoid the gazes of the passengers questioning me for the last minute drop in. I sat in my numbered seat and defragmented in dissociation, trying to understand what I was doing, I was running away, but from what?
The images of the last transcriptions were engraved in my mind, the last paragraph was repeated over and over again making me shake my head from time to time trying to get them away from my thoughts. The road was dark and I lost track of time, the digital clock within sight of the passengers jingling since we left, reading 10:40.
“San Luis Station!” - I heard the guard's shout in low volume.
I staggered to my feet, hurried to get off and with the same impulse I entered the dirt roads.
I zig-zagged through the dark, cold and silent beach town. The moonless night and the smell of the sea calmed me.
When I turned the corner to the gabled beach house of my family, on the steps of the front door lit by a white light, was her. Sitting, waiting for me. I stopped dead in my tracks and a chilling vertigo ran down my torso to my throat. We looked at each other for a short two seconds, until she stopped and started walking in sliding steps towards me, smiling and playing with her hands, crossing and uncrossing her arms. The growing sound of the wind through the trees covered us.
“Darling, how are you? How nice is the summer house, I don't think we ever came here, did we? Is it the one your grandmother left you?”
I felt the adrenaline rushing through my bloodstream, how could such a familiar attitude from such a familiar person transmit such panic to me? I had to answer something.
“Yes, this is it. I came to clear my head for a while, they gave me a few days at work and I wanted to take advantage of it.” I tried to excuse myself with failed dissimulation, since I stuttered in the middle of the words.
“Yes, I know! We arranged it with them, so you can be more relaxed and as a gesture for taking care of the file. Ah! and another thing. I think someone stole your cell phone at the bus station.” She looked at me with a smart-ass smile.
“Anyway, don't worry, they already found it on a bus on the way to “Treinta y tres”. You can get it back later.”
At this point I opened my mouth to ask for explanations, but as terrified as I was I only mumbled a “thank you”.
All this dialogue let us half a body length away, Valeria looked at me now a little more serious and stood at my side. She took my arm petrified and I could feel how a strong smell of neutral soap invaded me, as if she had rubbed herself in it too much.
“Shall we go inside? it's getting cold,” She said, finishing the sentence with a sweet gesture of pleading.
“Emm, shure.” I said.
My trembling hands managed to hit the lock on the 3rd attempt, we entered, turned on the lights and from his backpack she took out a red wine. Our favorite.
“Bring me some glasses, Mauro”. - She said to me as she sat down on the armchair against the window overlooking the gentle hills outside.
She poured wine until he almost filled the ex-cottage cheese glass, looked at me and in a toast gesture said.
“To... Dr. B?”
I slid a little smile and raised my eyebrows. Then I took half a glass in one sip.
“Well!” - She exclaimed, leaning over and resting the glass on the coffee table, and continued.
"You must be very confused, I understand, I saw it many times, the mind trying to adapt to a new, unsuspected reality and in your case all at once. It is not easy. First, make sure that no one is going to hurt you or anyone you know, second, what you read in that file, as you may have noticed, is not intended for public knowledge. Also to tell you”. I couldn't take the stress anymore, I exploded.
“You're not Vale. Who are you?! You're almost identical, but....”
“Ah yes, that one it's a tricky one to explain. Let's try, let's see:
“I'm a version of Valeria that she accidentally gendered when entered the lab. In one of the incubation rooms she touched a scan button that photographs her mind for 48 hours. It contains a micro needle that took her blood and thus generated me.”
“The thing is that we were in a situation of self-destruction of the systems, and that part of the programming code of the protocol was also copied in Valeria's mind.”
“And Valeria? She 's... dead?”
“Well, yes and no. If she tried to leave the base she's probably dead. if she's still there, she's probably frozen to death or killed by the cleanup command, but basically, if I'm here, she's not anymore.”
the coldness with which she answered me made me lose the little calm I had, I got up from the armchair and started to back away with my hands on my head, I couldn't stop repeating,
“this can't be happening, this can't be happening”.
“Hey! Mauro, calm down, it's going to be alright. I'm Valeria too. In every way, I'm still your friend, I know who you are and everything we went through, really, it's me, and when I finish managing the leak, the code, it won't work anymore, it will be erased from my mind and I'll be me. So don't worry. You only have to give me the flash disc and this issue ends here. We go back to normal life and nobody will know about anything.
“I'm not going to pretend that my friend didn't die! Alone, fucking freezing to death, I'm not going to let you take her place, I'm not going to let you!” - She interrupted me.
“Mauro, listen to me” - She came closer to me and grabbed my hands, her big, lined eyes looking at me with sweetness, like so many times before.
“I AM Valeria, I have the same fingerprints, the same blood, the same DNA, the same memories, the same scars, absolutely everything. Are you going to tell my mother that I died? to my sister? Are you going to report me? Nobody is going to believe you at all. If anyone even wants to believe you, how would you prove it? I am an exact copy”. - she told me, smiling with real sweetness and empathy.
I could only cry, for my friend, for the helplessness of the conclusion that she was right. I collapsed on the couch, and watched as the hills swayed in the night.
“Let's have the last glass and I'm leaving.”- she said to me.
“After I give you this, and that part of you disappears, will you remember that you are not... really Valeria?
“No, there is already a simulation on pause about Valeria's last week, she won't remember anything about this situation when she wakes up, because the memory is simply overwritten.”
“So I'm going to be the only one to know about this?”
“Take it as a gift Mauro, a glimpse behind the veil. And if you keep it that way, everything will be fine” - The threatening tone was soft but evident.
“Okay, hand me your PC and the flash drive.”
I looked at her evaluating all possible actions and if this decision was the right one, she stretched out her hand and smiled sympathetically. I gave her the old computer and the black 16G flash drive with the file. She inserted it, typed mechanically fast until the screen went black.
“Perfect, That would be all - She took out the flash drive, threw it on the floor and stepped on it violently with the heel of her shoe, put on his backpack and headed for the door.
“Stop,” I said.
“The things that Dr. B wrote... about the underground…
“Yes, they are true, it was the only way to be self-sustainable and to be able to isolate the complex from the rest of the world. Even the most morally flexible scientists would question the work if they knew where the subjects ended up, and what we were doing with their bodies... Anyway, I'm going home, Lucia called me 5 times already. Talk to you tomorrow.
“Love you,.” - She smiled at me and closed the door behind her. I felt a car slowly drive away from the house.
From my pocket I took out the white flash drive and looked at it. Now I had a decision to make.

I'd love some advice because this is an unfortunate situation. I purchased a Pokemon card collection on Facebook Marketplace last Thursday (May 2) for $1550 using Cashapp. The guy has an active account with 1500 followers, it's 14 years old. Posts a bunch of metal detecting and fishing stuff. Said he didn't use PayPal due to a bad past experience (red flag, I know). So I paid him, and he said he'd ship the cards out soon. He told me last Saturday that his wife had shipped them out, but left receipt in the car. I said okay and asked him to send the tracking when he gets the chance. On Thursday, since he hadn't read the message, I followed up, and he said he'd refund me if I didn't get the package. I responded by saying "give me the tracking number today", to which he said his wife didn't get a receipt. This made me realize he had lied earlier about the receipt being in the car. I threatened to call the police on him if he didn't refund me by end of the day today. So far, no word from him, and no tracking number still. Pretty sure I got scammed, but he hasn't blocked me. I also have tons of personal info about him, including his name, wife's name, date of birth, and phone number. I plan to contact the police in his area within the next day or two. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I believe the account wasn't hacked, because he's been posting the same type of content, metal detecting and finding coins.

coin master free daily spins
While there are 5 spins to be had continually, you will see that it is overall anticipated. Also, when you ought to have more spins, you can either utilize the authentic cash to get them at the game store or trust that the wheel will get restored or utilize the Coin master hack. To go with the central choice of getting the spins with cash, by then you would spend about $6 to get around 60 spins on the wheel.
Once more charmingly not quite a bit of out of each odd player finds the entry and cash to spend on the game, where case you can hold up until the spin wheel is masterminded and endeavor your karma. The other choice is to watch a few reports posted by the game which can get you two or three free spins. You can correspondingly get free spins by systems for thinking for showing up at the game through electronic life structures like Facebook. Along these lines, you get around 50 spins for free.

Shields can assist you with protecting the town from the catch of the Vikings. Furthermore, the critical machine can get you backing to these protections. There are different things that you can purchase from the town shop with the coins you secure from the fundamental machines. Essentially, as you buy more things, you will make more stars.
The Wagering machine even draws in you to strike the town of the coin master and get his coins. To give a model expecting that the coin master has around 350k coins in his town, chasing after the town and taking however much that you can be a wrecking objective.
Right, when you are taking from the coin master, you will get three guessed that open entryways ought to do everything considered and there will be four better places for tunneling. You genuinely need to burrow the best spot on the off chance that you really need to get any coins. In this manner, expecting you perceive how to take a jump the piece of slack spectator the on various events by and large, will have the ideal strike and the best plunder, that is the completely out of his fortune in your record.
Turning out relying on the situation to having satisfactory taken or more from the coin master, there will be another coin master to overpower and the new master will have totally more coins for you to take. With extra coins in your pocket, you can begin getting extra things from the town shop, setting your town to change into the most grounded hold in the game. For each update, there are coins to get and coins to spend. So to get connected with you genuinely need to make more coins.

Okay imagine if pixel gun 3d had mods
and NO i dont mean coins and gems hacking thingy
i mean real mods that can customize huds, sounds, textures, viewmodel animations
I know this idea will be complicated but think about it

What are the chances to get hacked on solflare? I only have sloth in my wallet. im hearing people getting hacked and losing all there tokens. I have a big stack of sloth and im getting kinda worried. I dont interackt with other coins so then your ok right?

There are currently some posts about hacked wallets here, you should always split your Slothana and other coins between different wallets. A wallet with Phantom or Solflare costs nothing and can be created in seconds. I myself have my Slothana on 4 different wallets, I only buy on one and then distribute it to the others. It would be really stupid if the coins were soon worth millions and were all gone due to stupid mistakes. Better safe than ending up without coins.
I can recommend this to all of you so that you are not the ones who write a post here about your hacked wallet and how you lost 500k in Slothana.

Surprisingly, DeFi projects aren't immune to the ever-growing list of online pranksters. Gnus.AI experienced this first-hand, thanks to a Discord hack that set them back a whopping $1.27M, which is approximately my monthly coffee budget. This tragedy inspired me to coin the term 'The Sleight Of Hack,' referring to those moments when a hacker makes such a quiet entrance, nobody realizes until it's too late. Was Gnus.AI snoozing on the job, or is Discord's supposedly secure platform actually a warm, welcoming place for hackers?
Nevertheless, let's not blame Gnus.AI entirely here. Should we point fingers at them for not catching the security lapses, or should we stare disapprovingly at Discord for creating an easily attackable platform? Time to think, people!
So to all you decentralization dreamers, wakey, wakey. DeFi isn't all cotton candy and summer vacations. Regardless of how much faith you put in your security protocols, a malicious genius can burst your bubble and ransack the place. Build your metaphorical security fortress, but don't forget to double, triple, quadruple check the locks.
Through all this chaos, here's to hoping Gnus.AI can course correct. All of us, meanwhile, need to adopt a healthy dose of paranoia, cause in the DeFi world, it's survival of the cautious. And to my friends at Gnus.AI, might I propose investing in a good encrypted messaging service next time?
If you got a kick from this post, why not leave a comment, or better yet, show appreciation with an Upvote? Love decentralized finance scandals much? Then why not share the story and add some spice to the DeFi conversations? Remember, sharing is caring, or in this case, sharing is snaring. Can you avoid the next 'Sleight of Hack?' Your turn, Gnus.AI, ready to play a better defense game?

Before you read this I am not advocating anyone to anything, so I won’t name the coin, I’m just curious and interested.
A gaming project was doing well in the run up, got hacked and had to migrate to a new coin. Their market cap has plummeted, due to a lot of people not being able to migrate their tokens.
In theory does this mean that if the supply could actually be half or less, due to stuck tokens. Is the market cap technically half as well until the other coins become available?

Is there someone who can help me ? I owned 437,000 sloth. Today is looked on my phantom wallet and someone senden all of my coins to an adress is dont know. He did it with more as I can see. Here is the signature: 4sh7pEMC9H2wvzu7ji5fPzCQR9cSwnTGFukwUAxMoRMgebjEKSJ9QKpykVjDfB4NkL4UTNCgTyEbxNAN4c6aaYmc And this is the adres it was Sended to: 4mhbQEd53q97td8jhugTAn2REA9uNG9cMuxU2NzY7RWG Is it possible someone can hack your wallet ?

We need to remember that Zone has many residents, and not everyone goes there for the same reason.
"I was collecting bottles, one after another, and they led me here... Ha-ha! I'm kidding, man! Truth is, there was no place for me in that other world, it didn't want me. In the end, I came here... first to the Zone and then to Clear Sky. The guys here are alright, and I'm needed here. They come back after a mission, I pour them a drink, tell a few dirty jokes and my job is done - simple, but effective. By the way, they call me Cold around here."

"The Zone enchanted me. I was just passing by, kind of like a tourist, and got hooked. The thing is, the people here are real, be they friend or foe. The danger, the feeling that death lurks behind every corner - that's what makes us city slickers feel alive! And I enjoy every minute of it." - Dialogue of Random Cordon Loner in Clear Sky

"I listened to a bunch of fairytales about the Zone and was foolish enough to believe them. But, as I quickly learned, it's a lot different when you're on the inside. I turned out to be a softer cookie than I thought. Dying is easy here, and collecting artifacts is not. But what's really killing me is that there's not a peaceful spot in the whole damn Zone. Even when I fall asleep, half of me stays awake." - Another dialogue of Random Cordon Loner

"You mean what do I do in the Zone? I'm hiding from some nosy former pals of mine. Back on the outside they would go on and on with their questions and lectures on life... So we had an... altercation. I hope you're not here to start all that morality shit again, are you? No? Good, then just keep walking." - Dialogue of Random Garbage Bandit in Clear Sky

"I was doing backstreet business back in the Soviet Union when I got caught on a major deal. I did my time like a man, made some good buddies and connections with the underworld crowd, and when I got out I started buying up goods from burglars. I got nicked again and did some more time, but when I got out the Soviet Union was dead and buried. I never managed to adjust to the changes - I was broke and living a shit life... but then the Zone appeared, and I bolted here right away. This place immediately reminded me of the good old days, so I became a trader without a second thought." - Dialogue of bandit trader Tooth

"What do you mean, "someone like you" Sure, I didn't graduate from no damn academy but I've got the hands for this kind of work - I was the best specialist at my plant, with medals, commendations and all. I would celebrate that kinda stuff with my friends over some drinks until our boss reported us and we all got fired. That son of a bitch! That plant was real high-profile 'cause we were working for the defense industry. After that, I got a job as a technician at the local housing office. They always came to me if something happened 'cause I was the only pro around. Some people slipped me a little cash or poured me a good drink and things were sweet... until I had a little fight with a plumber over a bottle - it got a bit heated and I stabbed the bastard with a screwdriver. He lived, but I got a stretch in a penal colony, and by the time I got back my crib was empty - the wife left me... I got real depressed and got me a case of jimjams. I lost the house through pure stupidity and became homeless. That's when I made my way here. And you know what? They treat me right in this place 'cause I know what I'm doing. And I'm the same, sometimes I even accept a good bottle as payment for work... keep that in mind." - Dialogue of Limpid

"I'm looking for adventure in the Zone, and I get plenty of that here in the Dark Valley. I have the opportunity to do that thanks to Freedom, and I don't care how pompous that may sound." - Dialogue of Random Dark Valley Freedomer

Dialogue of Freedom barman Ganja, while not directly stating the exact reason why Ganja came to the Zone, does says that it was a real negative story:
"You're not asking the right question, bro. You should be asking how Ganja the barman, Ganja the hookah man, Ganja, the man who partied with all sorts of friends in all sorts of places, ended up in the Zone. But I ain't answering that, bro. That's a negative story and I'm a positive kind of guy. I found myself here. That's the way the cookie crumbles. I was on my own and I felt cosmic loneliness, bro. Yeah, man, it was real bad. But then I felt positive vibrations...coming from Freedom. I knew they were my kind of people. I had a choice, but my doubts were gone. I found my freedom - now I live a better life than most people in that crazy world outside the Zone. Here I have enough to drink, enough to smoke, I have the Zone and people who share their stories about it with me...Damn, this local weed is just pure suckage!"

"Me, I'm from a small town. Finished high school, served in the army. Got out - no jobs, no use going to college... Make a long story short, I got through the boot camp and landed right here. Actually, I served at the Cordon at first. Once a colonel of ours decided he needed a rare artifact to heal him up. Didn't like the idea of hiring stalkers, so our squad got the "job." The map they gave us was thirty friggin' years old. Those bastards... Less than a few hours in half our guys were already gone from anomalies. Then the dogs, then the bloodsuckers. Before the day was done it was just sarge and myself. Thank God we had our medkits, so we managed to crawl over to Duty's base. My leg got all hacked up - I was lucky to keep it after all that. Anyway, Duty folks put us back on our feet and showed us the way back. They're real men who live a good, simple life, and I've made a lot of friends during my stay. Anyway, soon as service was over, I grabbed my things and came right back into the Zone. I found Duty's base and asked to join, and hey, they took me in." - Dialogue of Kolobok

"I'm just your average Joe, no different from anyone else. I've always been a rolling stone though. When I was ten I took off for China to study Shaolin martial arts. They took us off the freightliner three days later, and my dad gave me a real good thrashing. When I got older I spent all my time travelling - hitchhiked across Europe, spent a winter with chukchas. Then the Zone emerged. At the time I was friends with one girl Leska - also a thrill-seeker, like me. Well, she thought we were friends, though I felt a little different... Anyway, one day I was looking for Leska and some friends told me she'd gone to the Zone. Right away I get my things, grab a pistol with some rubber bullets and head straight here. I made it thanks to all my travelling experience. I spent months searching for her, carrying her photo and showing it to everybody. Finally a stalker told me some international troops apprehended Leska with some pretty boy near the Zone's border. Gave the two a lecture and sent them home. So, I thought, God bless you, Leska, God bless. I didn't go back home then. And now I'm just kind of stuck to the Zone." - Dialogue of Orest

"I've always been drawn to new territories. I mean, I came to the Zone because I got tired of monotonous routine on the outside, and in these parts there are always secrets to uncover. The other thing is the cash. You need food and ammo, but you can only get coin for loot. I'm also hoping someone finds a way of getting past the Scorcher, 'cause as soon as they do I'll be the first one to the center of the Zone. I've only got one sacred wish - for the Zone to disappear." - Dialogue of Random Army Warehouses Loner

"I wish I knew something old about it. We're mercenaries, buddy. We go into the Zone to complete a specific mission, and rely on careful planning and outstanding preparation to achieve our objectives." - Dialogue of Hog's merc(s)

"Bes's my name. I came to these parts three years ago. Like many of the guys in the Zone I'm a fugitive, wanted for two murders and GBH. A few years ago a friend of mine got battered pretty bad - they had to literally stitch him back together at the hospital. So I paid the bastards who did it a little "visit". When the coppers showed up I had to shoot one of them and jump out of a third-floor window - I've been here since. I've done well in this place but the list of my crimes has got a little longer too. I try to fight the lawless just as I did on the outside. I train up rookies and teach them to survive in the Zone." - Dialogue of Bes

"Where do I begin... I guess it goes back to high school. I had a good buddy, a best friend, if you will. We hung out together, smoking, drinking and whatnot. Only he wanted more and more thrills. He got into drugs: some weed at first, then smach and then coke, when he started getting some coin. I told him, "You gotta get off this shit, Tolyan, before it's too late." But he didn't listen. He scored some bad shit one day and that was that. I found his dealers and got even for my buddy... Got my picture took and all hell broke loose - the slammer, the gang fights, the shiv in the belly... Got out, started a business, got busted again... When I got out again, I left all that shit behind and set my sights on the Zone. Spent a couple months toughing it out, then got promoted. So now I'm in charge here, upholding the local law." - Dialogue of Sultan

"When I worked at the surgeon clinic, it was easy to cover up. There was always a surplus of donor blood to be had. But the Zone was different... I thought that this harsh environment would push my condition to the sidelines. But I was wrong. I experienced the most terrible explosion of all and just couldn't think of anything else. I decided to make the killings look like bloodsucker attacks. I usually picked targets that were already wounded." - Dialogue of Tremor
