Said another way: “The citizens using their freedom of speech on social media sites are more powerful than our propaganda and we can’t have that.”

These despots are really going to hate Nostr when they finally figure it out.

IMAGINE FADING THAT.

I'm basically a cold plunge maxi now.

Eeeek. I have surgery in 3 days. It’s a good thing because I’m in pain, but I’m starting to get hella nervous.

Mainly about the IV (I have the worst needle phobia), but the whole thing is freaky.

If you have any spare positive energy or advice on how to stay calm/make the process easier, I would appreciate it🫂

Good evening.

Although the region itself was inhabited for a long time by Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and more, what we generally think of as “Cairo” is considered to have been founded by the Fatimids in the 10th century.

When it was founded, they built stone walls and gates, and a number of mosques. Cairo has expanded to become one of the biggest cities in the world since then, but this smaller area of “Old Cairo” still stands within the city, and you’ll find among the densest collections of medieval Islamic architecture within a couple kilometer area.

Driving up to it is surreal, because on one side of the street there’s a thousand year old fortress wall, and on the other side of the street there are decades-old buildings with brutalist architecture.

Inside of the walls there are markets, restaurants, hotels, etc. The marketplace/streets are quite loud and hectic and messy, and yet some of the restaurants and hotels are absolutely amazing.

So like you park, get hounded by an informal-looking guy for parking money (sometimes they are legit and sometimes not), walk through the thousand year old gate, there’s tons of music and street food and aggressive merchants, stray cats and dogs, you might have to dodge the random motorcycle or get pooped on by a pigeon (happened to me), a man in a Sufi-style dress is whirling around, there’s a sickly-thin toothless man asking for money as a group of teenagers race by, etc. But then right amid that there will be a beautiful entrance to a luxury boutique Ottoman-style hotel with professional staff, intricate handmade furniture and an amazing Egyptian restaurant on the roof that overlooks the area. A sea of contrasts.

As you walk along the cobblestone roads of this old portion of Cairo, you pass by various buildings that range from the 10th century to the 19th century and were built under four different dynasties (Fatimids, Ayyubids, Mamluks, and Ottomans). Then there are also some more recent brutalist buildings. It’s all woven together, so for example there will be an 800-year old stone archway with an active cafe under it. There will be a merchant selling cheap metal pyramid trinkets made in China underneath an intricate wooden 500-year old medieval window.

Anyway, some friends and I went there for the second time yesterday to eat at that rooftop restaurant. Some pics.

Bitcoin conferences are just big circle jerks of people who are obsessed with status.

How are plebs still falling for that shit.

Stop wasting your sats on people who don’t give a fuck about you.

This is what i dug up about poisoned transactions:

Transaction poisoning refers to an attack on the Ethereum network where a malicious actor manipulates data within a transaction to cause unintended consequences. This can include altering the recipient address or changing the value of the transaction, effectively stealing funds or causing other disruptions.

Let's consider a vulnerable smart contract that uses an unsafe method for transferring funds:

pragma solidity ^0.6.0;

contract VulnerableContract {

function sendEth(address payable recipient) public {

// Unsafe method: directly sending Ether without validating the recipient's balance or safeTransfer logic

recipient.transfer(msg.value);

}

}

In this example, the 'sendEth' function of the 'VulnerableContract' is susceptible to a transaction poisoning attack. If an attacker were to modify the recipient address and send a poisoned transaction with a large amount, the contract would unknowingly transfer funds to the wrong address, leaving users like you at risk of losing their funds.

Here's an example of how an attacker could exploit the vulnerable 'sendEth' function in our previous example:

pragma solidity ^0.6.0; // Exploit Code

contract ExploitContract {

address public hacker; // Store the hacker's address as a public variable

constructor() public {

hacker = 0xabcdef123; // Set the hacker's address to the contract when it's deployed

}

function sendEth(address payable recipient) public {

// Unsafe method: directly sending Ether without validating the recipient's balance or safeTransfer logic

recipient.transfer(msg.value);

// Poisoned transaction with modified recipient and amount

ExploitContract(hacker).sendEth(0xfakeaddress456);

}

}

In this example, an attacker could deploy their own contract (ExploitContract) and pass it as a parameter when deploying the vulnerable 'VulnerableContract'. By doing so, the hacker can manipulate the 'sendEth' function within the 'VulnerableContract', effectively stealing funds from legitimate users.

am not a solidity guy but this is what I found on quick dig
