@scotty86 @panigrc @finalstaticfox @dansup Obviously, but then you have the problem of either needing to constantly having to maintain and setup new wallets and/or leaving trails for every dipshit who can use a blockchain explorer.

There are exchanges that support fiat <=> #XMR tho.

my testing of Phone Assistants continues with #Mitra. I have Mitra calling all the scammers that texted me pretending to be #Coinbase and asking them if they need help and why they're impersonating Coinbase 😆

first two didn't answer, the others are still happening. i like that you can follow the call when someone picks up.

GoDaddy facilitates cybercrime

Screenshot (not edited) of part of the section "Subdomains" in virustotal.com/gui/domain/goda, zoomed in to make the domain names better readable (the hosting IP-addresses are not visible in this screenshot; most of them are either 13.248.243[.]5 or 76.223.105[.]230).

In the column at the right, 'n' in 'n/94' is the number of virusscanners that consider the website (with the specified domain name) malicious.

@davidgerard i actually have some faith that coinbase custody is better run than literally anyone else based on what i've seen on chain - for instance, unlike say a company like bybit, they don't store billions of dollars of crypto in one wallet and instead break everything into chunks of ~$20 million (at least for stablecoins; i assume other stuff is similar).

so i suspect that coinbase custody is set up in such a way that even if they lose one wallet, the other wallets aren't immediately also compromised.

at the same time, with that much money on the line every gifted teenager in north korea is probably laser focused on hacking #coinbase...

@davidgerard p.s. just to put some numbers on exactly how centralized the global bitcoin supply is in #coinbase, it looks like they are custodying 80% of the ETFs (~$113 bn) plus MSTR (~$50bn) and a couple others, and then also their customers.

taking into account lost bitcoins, they're probably custodying more than 10% of all the bitcoins in the world
