As someone who made a lot of money off of SOL and SPL tokens last year, I gotta say: Solana is an absolute dumpster fire.

I've been bitcoin only since the beginning of this year.
Do u mean the current hack or the entire project itself?

The entire project. I've lost count of how many times the chain has gone down, and the node runners had to reboot it. In May, the chain's clock got out of sync and was running 30mins behind. The kicker is that solana's consensus mechanism is called "proof of history". *badum-tiss*


Is Solana DDoS'ing itself to slow down the hack?



How do you DDoS a blockchain? Another example of the importance of decentralization.

Apparently the hack is still ongoing, but just saw this tweet about how much was stolen so far $580,000,000. That’s crazy if that’s a true amount. Waiting to see if others tweet that same amount. Only down 3.3% so far over last 24
Coin gecko says 6 million


shyt like this is why crypto won't take off with the general public anytime soon.

$580 million :whoo:

How does fraud protection/insurance work with these crypto wallets, compared to money stolen from a bank account?

I’m reading it was more like 5-10. Not sure where some came up with 580.

This one started off with 580 as well then came back with 4.5

Safe to say there’s a war going on and the planet’s financial future in at stake. Looking at the news and connecting the dots is fkn wild. Governments are doing the most (or least depending) to oppose it or jockey for the earliest positions. Broke countries putting it all on the line just for a shot at the title. Rich countries beefing up resources to make sure those countries (and their own citizens) stay broke. Private money is either well invested or waiting patiently like a hawk. Many have already watched their entire life savings dwindle to nothing. Some have built entire billion dollar conglomerates in 3 years.
This shyt threw everyone a curve ball. A lot of ppl never learned how to hit a curveball, those that know- curveball is a homerun pitch if u keep your eye on the ball and lower your shoulder. Gotta be patient bc it’s slower. Lock in and when it drops.. rockabye baby.

:pachaha: Solana right back where we started son

New jobs numbers come out tomorrow.

--------------------------

New coin added to portfolio yesterday METIS, a little late. Up another 20% over last 24hr. Up 125% last 30 days, 725% over last year. Coinbase has an "experimental" note when you buy. Will keep an eye on it, hopefully goes down some to add a little more. Was reading yesterday about this:

"#Chainlink Price Feeds are now live on @MetisDAO, a cutting-edge layer-2 solution built on #Ethereum. "

Seeing some red 1hr/24hr, little dip because of jobs data coming tomorrow and some released today. Might do a little buying later. Usually goes down right before the reports, then goes back up lately after the reports are released.

Dow Jones Falls After Jobless Data​

"First-time jobless claims came out at 8:30 a.m. ET. Initial unemployment claims rose to 260,000 vs. 256,000 in the previous week, in line with Econoday estimates. On Friday morning, the Labor Department's July jobs report is set for release. The U.S. economy is expected to have added 250,000 jobs in July with an unemployment rate of 3.6%."


Stocks churn as investors look ahead to Friday jobs report​

"A slight uptick in weekly jobless claims, reported Thursday morning, weighed on investors watching for signs that labor market strength is dwindling."


"Some of yesterday's good feeling has left the market. U.S. stocks wavered at today's open and were recently slightly down, a day after the Nasdaq's beaten-down tech names led indexes up across the board."
