Gamestop & The NFT Opportunity

Gamestop To The Moon With NFT Rocket Fuel

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are blowing up. Everyone is making one; from William Shatner to Patrick Mahomes to the NBA. Given how hot the space is right now, I expect that more and more companies will look at selling them; including Gamestop.

Given that Ryan Cohen is refocusing Gamestop's sales efforts to e-commerce and digital, selling and facilitating the sale of NFTs only makes sense. Digital games are moving more into the NFT space while Funko has recently announced that they intend to move into the NFT space. NFTs allow a company to merge the physical (say a rare physical item) with digital (a rare NFT) in a packaged sale.

This posts starts by first outlining recent news in the NFT space, then moving to NFTs in video games, and then finally talking a bit about Funko.

NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS: RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS & HIGHLIGHTS

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a digital file whose unique identity and ownership are verified on a blockchain (a digital ledger). NFTs are not mutually interchangeable. NFTs are commonly created by uploading files, such as digital artwork, to an auction market. This creates copies of the files, which are recorded as NFTs on the digital ledger. The tokens can then be bought with cryptocurrency and resold. (From Wikipedia)

While NFT's have been around for several years, but have been more recently getting significantly more publicity as the NBA has created their own version of NFT trading cards and digital artists have been selling their works on the blockchain for large sums.

It is expected that many more companies and IP rights holders will move into the space (Here). The Compound had an interesting discussion on NFTs and the history of collectibles (Here).

Highlights of recent NFT milestones and news events:

· Beeple is the poster child of the trend right now as he recently sold his art NFT for $69 million (Here, Here)

· NBA launches NBA Top Shots where people can buy NFTs highlights of basketball plays. This guy turned $175k into $20 million in value. (Here, Here, & Here)

· Goldin Auctions getting into NFTs after dominating physical sports card auctions (Here)

· Elon Musk’s girlfriend Grimes (a singer) sold $5.8 million in NFT art in 20 minutes (Here)

· Jack Dorsey is auctioning off the very first tweet as an NFT (Here)

· Nyan cat sells for $600,000 (Here)

· Crypto Punks are sold for values from tens of thousands to millions of dollars (Here)

· CryptoKitties can sell for thousands or more (Here)

· Investment funds are being created to invest in NFTs (Here)

· DC Comics tells artists not to create NFTs based on their IP while it researches the space; suggesting that DC Comics may already have NFT deals pending announcement or in negotiations (Here). Including a recent Batman statue tied to the blockchain. (Here)

Some celebrities, famous people, and others talking about or playing in the NFT space:

Cathie Wood

Gary Vee

Rob Gronkowski

William Shatner

Mark Cuban

Patrick Mahomes

Lindsey Lohan

Given the amount of publicity and momentum for NFTs recently, there is no doubt that they'll be a hot topic in the news in 2021 and probably beyond. Those that get in early may be rewarded handsomely.

NFTs IN THE VIDEO GAMES SPACE

Video games are an excellent fit with NFTs because the blockchain allows one to assign rights to digital items easily and quickly. Items like weapons, cars, real estate, clothes, whatever can be assigned an NFT and then monetized within a game. That NFT purchase could then allow a user to move their item from one place to another online. From e-sports to mobile games the impact could be massive.

Highlights of recent NFT news events in the games space:

· Sandbox, a UGC world like Roblox, recently sold more than $1 million worth of virtual land in apart of the game sponsored by Atari

· Polyient Games purchased a citadel in the Mirandus fantasy game for more than $800,000.

· Yield Guild Games purchased 88 plots of Savannah land in Axie Infinity and a 12-by-12 estate in Sandbox. The combined price was over $100,000.

· Illuvium has raised $5 million to create a fantasy-based video game with NFTs. The game rewards players with the opportunity to explore and capture NFT creates in combat. It incentivizes players with a stake in the project; as fees incurred within the game are paid out to staked token holders as ongoing rewards. (Here)

Some quotes about NFTs in video games:

“Gaming is going to be big. People spend a lot of money in games. When they quit a game, that money is gone. Your investment is gone. It doesn’t mean anything. So if people are willing to spend that kind of money in something where if they stopped logging in, it has no value. What happens when, if they stop logging in, they sell what they bought. It will change the whole nature of video games. It won’t be spending anymore. It will be investing. So it totally changes everything.” Gabe Leydon - Founder CEO of Machine Zone

"If you own a piece of property in a game, you no longer have to pay rent on it every month, and you can think of it as an investment. You could make money when you sell it." - Dean Takahasi

“If you can play for something that is valuable to you, then why would you choose to play in a game where there is no value. We are not saying traditional games will go away. But we do believe in this thesis that it’s better for the player to play in an environment when you have some ownership.” - Yat Siu - Founder of Animoca Brands

"In the past, players were more like serfs, working for the lord of the estate. These walled gardens generate money for the game company, and its shareholders, but nothing goes to the players. Those walled gardens could make the rules and kick out the players who broke the rules. And the players didn’t get to take the things they bought with them when they left. Now, if a game shuts down, the player can’t take their assets and move to another game." - Dean Takahasi

"In a game, I could buy an NFT that memorializes my completion of Red Dead Redemption 2, where it captures everything I did in the game and follows my unique path through it. I could show that to people, maybe, sometime in the future and recount it with pride. I would pay for that." - Yat Siu - Founder of Animoca Brands

“It’s more about the fact that the value of the assets are part of the experience. What makes it valuable as a collectible is that it’s an emotional and cultural moment. I can go deeper into the experience, and the more connected I become to it. I can express myself, and have a sword with 50 kills on it, or maybe it’s something my son used, and we had a great moment with it. We’ve just scratched the surface of that. - Yat Siu - Founder of Animoca Brands

“Within the generations or the family where that item is held, it is priceless. And this is a power of non-fungible tokens because every object has some scarcity. It’s like your wedding ring. It’s not that valuable to others, but yours is your dream, your story.” - Yat Siu - Founder of Animoca Brands

FUNKO MOVING INTO NFTs “FAIRLY SOON”

Last Friday Funko's CEO Brian Mariotti was interviewed by Yahoo Finance:

“We’re excited about it and we have a plan in place. We have some technology in place. We are going to be out in the market fairly soon. But we’re going to out in the market in a very different way. We have the ability to disrupt this space in a way that nobody else is doing right now. We can tie digital NFT’s to our fan base and link NFT’s with physical products. And that’s not happening right now. So, for example, if you had a pack of NFT’s. I won’t mention licenses. And there are a few rare ones. If you have those rare ones, we’re going to give you a free product that is tied to that rare NFT. Which means you have a super rare physical product that ties to your super rare NFT. That’s disruptive. That’s new. It’s different. It’s only what Funko can do. And we’re really excited about what the future of NFT’s are. We’re certainly all over this. And I think you’ll see fairly soon from Funko in the market.”

Funko seems to have the NFT market clearly in its sights and Gamestop could be a potential beneficiary. Imagine Gamestop selling Funko NFT's online and fulfilling in-store. Or having Gamestop exclusive Funko NFT's combined with rare Funko Pops!. Gamestop could even sell NFT's for Loungefly; Funko's fashion-related business that sells things like backpacks and wallets (Disney Bag 1, Disney Bag 2).

How Gamestop and Funko might capitalize on the NFT trend:

· Digital items have the ability to move globally in an instant; increasing the total addressable market. Both for Funko and for collectors. (Imagine how easy it would be for Gamestop to expand into other international markets they are not currently in through NFTs)

· All collectibles and art have concerns with fakes and counterfeits. By using blockchain technology and NFT’s, Funko and Gamestop can reduce the impact of counterfeiters on their businesses. When someone purchases a rare item, its NFT can serve as certification of its authenticity through the blockchain.

· NFT’s allow Funko and Gamestop to move to blockchain based payment systems and tap wealthy investors looking to diversify out of their crypto coin holdings into physical and digital items. Especially wealthy crypto investors who are looking to park their money in other investments to diversify their portfolio.

· NFT “artists” or “creators” can collect a piece of the revenue each time the specific digital asset turns over. For example, an NFT can be sold 20 times over the course of a year. Each time the NFT is sold the owner and seller can collect a fee (depending on how the system were structured).


BitGreen (BITG)

I found out about this coin a while back called Bitcoin Green, or BitGreen. Basically it's whole purpose is from what I understand, the devs have this system in place that supposedly rewards you with BITG when you take part in certain events/activities that are good for the environment. This concept is really cool, and really brilliant considering the all the worldwide issues with global warming, deforestation, pollution and various other environmental concerns. I'm not really totally sure how committed the devs are--the wallet app is barren and their twitter is totally automated and repeats the same message over and over about how they're integrating with Polkadot or something--but I see huge potential in this coin. Y'all gotta check it out!


Longer Beginners Exploit Guide

Introduction:

  • This is a Very Long Beginners Exploit Guide. I will try my best to explain almost everything I know, and will give some tips and tricks, if you haven't already make sure to check out my other post:
  • but you don't have to worry about that since this will be much improved and longer.

What Is A Roblox Exploit?

  • An exploit is the use of glitches and software vulnerabilities in Roblox by a player to alter the game or gameplay for an unfair advantage.
  • Exploits have been defined as a form of cheating, so basically, an exploit is a program designed by developers and hacking enthusiast when it comes to gaming.
  • An exploit can allow you to use cheats in-game that would normally be un-allowed or frowned upon. Such as aim bot to locking on players heads/bodies ensuring every hit, as well as flying, super jump, wall hacks, unlimited money and other useful features.
  • Many users believe that the correct term for programs that change Roblox for a player's advantage is “exploiting”, and others believe “hacking” is the correct term.
  • However, hacking is the act of gaining unauthorized access to a system while exploiting is abusing a vulnerability to do the same.

Why does Google think it's a virus?

  • Most exploits are false positives, because google think it’s malicious, because that's how the exploits nature works.
  • Just make sure you downloaded the exploits on their official websites, as other people can skid them and add viruses into them. Only get them from trusted sites, and trusted people.

I know that the exploit is a false positive, but how am I suppose to add it into my files?

  • If you’re on google, just press CTRL + J and click “keep dangerous file”, don’t forget to turn off your anti-virus before clicking “keep dangerous file”, the reason you need to turn your antivirus off is so that it doesn't automatically delete the file.
  • Just remember to get them from the official websites, as some people can skid and add viruses into them, only get them from trusted sites, and people.

Why does the exploit say that my DLL or other file is missing?

  • It’s because you forgot to whitelist the file.
  • in order to do this you need to go to (Windows Security > Exclusions) and whitelist the file, to prevent the anti-virus from removing it, after that you don't have to worry about your anti virus deleting the exploit, since it is whitelisted and wont be scanned by the Windows Defender.
  • Just make sure it stays on the file parent. Basically if you place it in downloads, just keep it there, if you place it on anything else it will automatically be removed, and you'll have to redownload again.

Why does some free exploits have key systems?

  • Obviously it is to support the developers of the exploit in order for the exploit to be kept developing (since that's the only source of motivation, and income)
  • Remember ONLY TRUSTED SITES, AND TRUSTED PEOPLE.
  • If you want to bypass it here are a few websites:
  • https://thebypasser.netlify.app/
  • https://thebypasser.com/versions/version2.html
  • But remember, you're not supporting the developers at all.

Why does it say Roblox has been updated, please wait for an un-patch?

  • Roblox normally updates every Wednesday-Thursday depending on your time zone, so all exploits are normally patched.
  • Just wait for them to un-patch, it normally takes 1-24 hours, it depends on how fast they fix it.
  • If Roblox did a rollback update you don't have to worry. Since they're still at the same version as the exploit is, basically means the exploit isn't patched since they did a roll back update.
  • Be patient, and just wait for a patch, since the developers have no idea on what time they'll fix it. There are some scenarios where the developers are sleeping **cough**

Will I get banned from using exploits?

  • Yes, and no.
  • If you decide to abuse these cheats and make it very obvious that you are cheating, people can report you.
  • After around 1-2 weeks, your account will be flagged as a cheater. You could be banned for around 1–7 days.
  • If after you continue to be reported for cheating, you will be permanently banned, if there is shown proof of course.
  • Therefore we do not encourage exploiting and we can not be held responsible for your account being banned or other issues you may encounter whilst using the hosted exploits.
  • Use them at your own risk.
  • Just remember you are breaking the T.O.S so if you're caught by a Roblox admin, rest in peace man.

How do I prevent Roblox screenshotting my screen?

  • If your exploit has an auto execute, add this script in it:

setfflag("AbuseReportScreenshot", "False")

setfflag("AbuseReportScreenshotPercentage", "0")

How do I prevent bans?

  • If you're using a free exploit, make sure you're on an alt just to be safe since some exploits can be detected by Roblox.
  • If you're using a paid exploit you're pretty much safe but there are CHANCES to get banned, just make sure you're on an alt, if you want your main to be safe.
  • Just remember IF YOU WANT YOUR MAIN TO BE GO ON AN ALT. DON'T BE THOSE DUMBASSES THAT SAYS MY MAIN GOT BANNED FOR EXPLOITING.
  • Also make sure to use a VPN in order to prevent possible IP-bans, but I don't think you don't have to worry about that since Roblox.
  • Incase you don't want to be IP Banned, here is a VPN, that is free and has unlimited data.
  • https://protonvpn.com/
  • Their servers are always loaded so be prepared for lag.

How do I check if my account is in risk of getting banned in the next ban wave?

  • So if you want to know if your account is tainted or not you would have to press the following:

Win + R

%appdata%

Go out of the Roaming folder

Go into the Local folder

Find Roblox

Open the Logs File

If you find an archive file in there open one of them and you'll see if you're tainted.

If it says "IsTainted=false" you're basically safe

If it says "IsTainted=true" you'll be banned in the next banwave.

  • That's it.

What does Filtering Enabled or FE mean?

  • Filtering Enabled is a form of anti-exploiting Roblox has implemented.
  • Basically, Filtering Enabled (FE) disables client modification of server values, or in simpler words, the client can't make changes to the game (credit to scriptinghelpers.org)
  • As Roblox says: Enabling Filtering Enabled is the best way of restricting exploiters from ruining your games. When it is enabled, with a few exceptions, changes made by clients will not replicate to the server (and therefore will not replicate to other clients). This means, if your game is properly designed, exploiters will find it much harder to operate in your game.

I downloaded the exploit how do I use it now?

  • Once downloaded, just attach and boom you can execute any script you want depending on the executor, have fun exploiting.

How does one place a backdoor into a game?

  • They add some hidden script in one of the parts, and when someone inserts the free model with the backdoor, and he publishes the game, and a player joins the game, the script will announce it to the discord via webhook, and will show the game that has the backdoored model in it.
  • You can go to YouTube and find how to make a backdoor if you wish to do this, but the dude who used the model has to be a dumbass so good luck.

What does Auto-Inject/Attach and Auto Execute mean?

  • Auto Attach/Inject basically, when you join a game and the exploit is running on the background it will automatically inject.
  • Auto Execute basically, as soon as you inject it automatically executes the script that is on your autoexec folder.

Before we head into another detail, I'll explain the most used basic scripts in Roblox.

Enables your character to fly all around the game.

Makes your entire avatar can collide false making, basically making you walk through walls. (sup jailbreaks og's who used cheat engine to no-clip)

Allows you to see players behind walls, also lets you see their name and what team they're on, pretty op on FPS games.

Sets your gravity pretty low and makes you jump high and fall slowly, somewhat useful?

Allows you to jump infinitely, good with Low Gravity. The only game I think this is useful is the game called Parkour by hudzell.

Exploiting Forums I Know, And Recommend:

V3rmillion (https://v3rmillion.net/):

  • Basically biggest exploiting forum out there, wholesome and somewhat toxic community, just need to get past the annoying captcha whenever you log in, there's also giveaways, sales, and etc., you can find scripts, and other exploits made by others, you can find almost all the good paid scripts here, super helpful community if you're asking adding more useful stuff into your script, just be careful on what you click, and make sure they do not log your ip, and make sure they are not an exe file.

Sir Memes Forum (https://forum.robloxscripts.com/ ):

  • Same as v3rm its a pretty big exploiting forum, theres also giveaways, sales and etc., and a very active community, you can also find scripts and other exploits, just be careful on what you click, and make sure they are not an .exe file.

WeAreDevs Forum (https://wearedevs.net/forum):

  • Good place to ask for scripts or find scripts, somewhat active community, just not the most helpful, but still good though.

Okay now we're done with that let's explain free exploits first:

❌ JJSploit (https://wearedevs.net/d/JJSploit):

  • Most popular free exploit, I honestly don't recommend this, the UI is shitty, every time you inject it's a guaranteed crash, whenever you execute a script you literally drop 30 frames. If you execute print("hello world") it might even crash that's how bad it is, the older version could do better than the new versions.

✔️ KRNL (https://krnl.gg/):

  • Most popular recommended free exploit, I recommend this, good UI, rarely crashes, can run some complicated scripts, best free exploit IMO, just has a key system but it's to help the creators of the exploit.

✔️ Oxygen U (https://oxygenu.xyz/):

  • Basically your KRNL backup if it's down or in maintenance, good UI, rarely crashes, can run some complicated scripts, also has a key system but same as KRNL it is to help the creators of the exploit.

✔️ Fluxus (https://fluxteam.xyz/):

  • Good UI, can execute a few complicated scripts, good executor it is also available on Mac, it will get the job done, I recommend it if your a Mac user.

✔️ Coco Z (https://wearedevs.net/d/Coco%20Z)

  • Smooth UI, decent executor. If you're using this you're probably impatient about KRNL or Oxygen U's key system.

Paid Exploits:

✔️ Synapse X (https://x.synapse.to/):

Costs: 15.00-20.00 Dollars

The one and only Synapse X, the best of the best, hottest paid exploit in the market, heavily recommending this. Rarely crashes, good UI, fast updates. Also has synapse only scripts available. Can execute almost all scripts, and is undetected.

✔️ Script-Ware (https://script-ware.com/):

Costs: 13.00-19.99 Dollars

Has a dashboard, and has a friends list which I think is pretty cool, good UI, fast updates, also has a very big script hub, and a lot of featured scripts, also available on mac, make sure to keep your eyes on this exploit, it is evolving it might even be better than synapse in the future, who knows.

✔️ ProtoSmasher (https://protosmasher.net/):

Costs: 15.00 Dollars

Good exploit, can run complicated scripts, good UI, powerful executor, you can save up 5$ to get Synapse instead, but this is also fine if you don't want to.

❌ Sentinel (https://sentinel.to/purchase)

Costs: 15.00 Dollars

Not worth it. This shit can't even run a phantom forces ESP script, while even a free exploit can run it. Please don't just get ProtoSmasher, it's much better power-wise. It has a good UI, fast injection, good stability but can't even run a simple script.

❌ NoobHaxx (https://www.popmusiclovers.net/first.php)

Costs: 3.00 Dollars

Yes I'm not kidding it's 3 dollars, but I heard that they just modified EasyExploits API and called it a day, well if you like to put it in your collection feel free to get it. Just get KRNL, it's much better power wise.

Some fun scripts to mess around with:

  • Infinite Yield Admin

loadstring(game:HttpGet(('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EdgeIY/infiniteyield/master/source'),true))()

  • Energizer Animation

loadstring(game:HttpGet("https://pastebin.com/raw/RmD3qNp7", true))()

  • Block Spam Troll (Lag the server, needs hats)

  • Roblox Chatlogs to Discord

local wh = 'your discord webhook here'

local embed1 = {

end)

Where do I get scripts?

  • You can get scripts in these websites:

https://robloxscripts.com/:

  • Uploads around 5-15 scripts a day, a lot of scripts 250 scripts average per month.

https://v3rmillion.net/:

  • You can find exclusive scripts on forums here, uploads idk scripts a day, a lot of scripts here, also a place where you can find good paid scripts.

https://wearedevs.net/forum:

  • You can find scripts or ask for specific scripts, make sure you do a little research before asking.

http://youtube.com/:

  • Don't even think going to YouTube trying to find a good script, they just add infinite link shorteners just to get money and you get a .exe file in the end. Only trust pastebin or github ones.

Pastebin

  • Yes, you can find scripts here, just have to add pastebin in the end of the text (e.g: Revis Admin PASTEBIN)

REMEMBER, MAKE SURE TO NOT CLICK LINKVERTISES IN ORDER TO NOT GIVE SCUMS WHO LIKE TO POST ALREADY POSTED SCRIPTS IN ORDER FOR THEME TO GET THEIR MONEY.

I want to make my own exploit hub

I want to make my own exploit executor

Server-Sided Paid ones:

TOPK3K SS (https://topkek.gg/)

  • Costs: 20.00 - 25.00 Dollars
  • Has popular infected games, and fun features. You just have to follow the rules.
  • Conhaxx SS (https://discord.com/invite/rNxcAsQ)
  • Costs: 10.00 Dollars
  • Basically a Condo serverside you can have fun in Condo games but be careful, since there might be admins in the ingame server and they might ban you instantly. Don't really recommend if you're after other games. Just have to follow the rules

Server-Sided Free ones:

  • Liquid SS (https://discord.com/invite/GdydKBmc8W)
  • Basically your regular free SS not alot of popular games unless you buy the premium one, it costs 3.00 dollars paypal, 400 robux in roblox.
  • Sinner SS (Their server got nuked lol)
  • Same as Liquid SS although this has more games, and was more popular.
  • Or make your own SS with this YouTube video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAfxYgNCNb0&t=320s
  • NOTE: THESE ARE ONLY SERVER SIDES I KNOW.

I want to learn how to make my own scripts

REMEMBER, MAKE SURE TO NOT CLICK LINKVERTISES IN ORDER TO NOT GIVE SCUMS WHO LIKE TO POST ALREADY POSTED SCRIPTS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET THEIR MONEY.

I was inspired by these two posts:

r/robloxhackers info:

We cannot bruteforce into accounts, this is a subreddit made for roblox exploiters.

There are a few people who can, but they will most likely not do it.

This is not a fucking krnl support sub reddit, they have their own discord here is a invite for the krnl discord server: https://discord.gg/qcg6jBrcfM

NOTE: DO NOT JOIN THE discord.gg/krnl SERVER, THEY LOG YOU BY SENDING FILES OR LINKS IDK BUT ITS NOT THE OFFICIAL SERVER.

IT IS NOT krnl.rocks anymore it is now krnl.gg tyvm.

No, JJSploit is not a bitcoin miner.

if you have more questions feel free to ask on the comments. Hope I explained everything here.

Bitcoin's true market value in a post-adoption or post-fiat future.

There are countless sources of mainstream information that are typically just generating clicks through fearmongering about market volatility, but very few discussions about the real world economic ramifications of a future where crypto coexists or replaces fiat in the future. I know it won’t happen next week, or next year, but perhaps decades from now.

Does Bitcoin, or crypto broadly, actually make anyone wealthier in the end if our systems of measuring value eventually transition to it? Or is the reality that things remain much the same way they are now where parallel economic systems exist alongside one another vying for adoption in perpetuity? This thought exercise is equal parts crypto speculation and economic theory.

I'm curious to read about its potential true value in a post-adoption (post-fiat?) economy, not as a fungible currency but as a representation of value. There are sci-fi notions of a time where we'll have neural brain links that connect us to an augmented reality where we just think of a financial transaction and it pops into existence and is immediately validated. And maybe that might be the case one day using a type of blockchain technology that hasn't been created yet.

But the world is also crazy enough that in a hundred years, for whatever reason, we could still be minting physical coins that represent virtual assets in the same way we've minted them for centuries to represent something else. Maybe there's some cataclysmic event, or we go through an arrested economic development between fiat and crypto where that transition experiences a failure to launch. It's probably unlikely, but who knows. It's not common for the future to be what we envision.

We all read the headlines about Bitcoin hitting six or seven figures, and I'm not debating the possibility. But if fiat becomes displaced (in whole or part) by crypto markets, then are fiat comparisons even relevant as a basis of comparison in the future? If you own a Bitcoin in 2050 and it's worth a million dollars, what does it mean to have a million dollars of a currency whose relevance is not what it was thirty years prior? There have been wealthy people of previous civilizations who had stacks of whatever their currency was, but if its buying power vanished, then the market value of their currency is of no consequence today.

It's possible my analogy is flawed. But are you still a wealthy person in 2050 if an average house costs a million dollars? Or an average vehicle? Or an average tax return? Anyone who's seen the movie Idiocracy might remember the stoned doctor laughing as he prints out a hospital receipt for five billion dollars. This is all exaggerated math that may sound silly, but it's rooted in truth because hyperinflation has actually happened and led to eight figure loaves of bread. I know it sounds like a ridiculous or uneducated stretch to say something like this today, but what if a loaf of bread costs a Bitcoin in the future?

Of course, all things being equal, we are better off having Bitcoin than not having it at all and I am very much invested in it, but maybe it doesn't mean we’ll inevitably be independently wealthy in the future either. If crypto becomes a normalized representation of value that displaces fiat, what is the argument that HODLers wouldn't still be in a similar economic situation decades from now as they are today, if fiat erodes to obsolescence or irrelevance? Would crypto value still be as theoretically esteemed if it is swapped out as a dominant substitute of value? Perhaps my reservations are misplaced, but I wonder whether or not it will mean we'll be as flush as we imagine ourselves to be in a post-fiat world.

I'd welcome links to any sources from smart minds that speculate on such an economic transition, about what it might really mean to own a Bitcoin (or ten, or a hundred) in the future.


Super Long Exploiting Guide

Introduction:

What Is A Roblox Exploit?

  • An exploit is the use of glitches and software vulnerabilities in Roblox by a player to alter the game or gameplay for an unfair advantage.
  • Exploits have been defined as a form of cheating, so basically, an exploit is a program designed by developers and hacking enthusiast when it comes to gaming.
  • An exploit can allow you to use cheats in-game that would normally be un-allowed or frowned upon. Such as aim bot to locking on players heads/bodies ensuring every hit, as well as flying, super jump, wall hacks, unlimited money and other useful features.
  • Many users believe that the correct term for programs that change Roblox for a player's advantage is “exploiting”, and others believe “hacking” is the correct term.
  • However, hacking is the act of gaining unauthorized access to a system while exploiting is abusing a vulnerability to do the same.

Why does Google think it's a virus?

  • Most exploits are false positives, because google think it’s malicious, because that's how the exploits nature works.
  • Just make sure you downloaded the exploits on their official websites, as other people can skid them and add viruses into them. Only get them from trusted sites, and trusted people.

I know that the exploit is a false positive, but how am I suppose to add it into my files?

  • If you’re on google, just press CTRL + J and click “keep dangerous file”, don’t forget to turn off your anti-virus before clicking “keep dangerous file”, the reason you need to turn your antivirus off is so that it doesn't automatically delete the file.
  • Just remember to get them from the official websites, as some people can skid and add viruses into them, only get them from trusted sites, and people.

Why does the exploit say that my DLL or other file is missing?

  • It’s because you forgot to whitelist the file.
  • in order to do this you need to go to (Windows Security > Exclusions) and whitelist the file, to prevent the anti-virus from removing it, after that you don't have to worry about your anti virus deleting the exploit, since it is whitelisted and wont be scanned by the Windows Defender.
  • Just make sure it stays on the file parent. Basically if you place it in downloads, just keep it there, if you place it on anything else it will automatically be removed, and you'll have to redownload again.

Why does some free exploits have key systems?

  • Obviously it is to support the developers of the exploit in order for the exploit to be kept developing (since that's the only source of motivation, and income)
  • Remember ONLY TRUSTED SITES, AND TRUSTED PEOPLE.
  • If you want to bypass it here are a few websites:
  • https://thebypasser.netlify.app/
  • https://thebypasser.com/versions/version2.html
  • But remember, you're not supporting the developers at all.

Why does it say Roblox has been updated, please wait for an un-patch?

  • Roblox normally updates every Wednesday-Thursday depending on your time zone, so all exploits are normally patched.
  • Just wait for them to un-patch, it normally takes 1-24 hours, it depends on how fast they fix it.
  • If Roblox did a rollback update you don't have to worry. Since they're still at the same version as the exploit is, basically means the exploit isn't patched since they did a roll back update.
  • Be patient, and just wait for a patch, since the developers have no idea on what time they'll fix it. There are some scenarios where the developers are sleeping **cough**

Will I get banned from using exploits?

  • Yes, and no.
  • If you decide to abuse these cheats and make it very obvious that you are cheating, people can report you.
  • After around 1-2 weeks, your account will be flagged as a cheater. You could be banned for around 1–7 days.
  • If after you continue to be reported for cheating, you will be permanently banned, if there is shown proof of course.
  • Therefore we do not encourage exploiting and we can not be held responsible for your account being banned or other issues you may encounter whilst using the hosted exploits.
  • Use them at your own risk.
  • Just remember you are breaking the T.O.S so if you're caught by a Roblox admin, rest in peace man.

How do I prevent Roblox screenshotting my screen?

  • If your exploit has an auto execute, add this script in it:

setfflag("AbuseReportScreenshot", "False")

setfflag("AbuseReportScreenshotPercentage", "0")

How do I prevent bans?

  • If you're using a free exploit, make sure you're on an alt just to be safe since some exploits can be detected by Roblox.
  • If you're using a paid exploit you're pretty much safe but there are CHANCES to get banned, just make sure you're on an alt, if you want your main to be safe.
  • Just remember IF YOU WANT YOUR MAIN TO BE GO ON AN ALT. DON'T BE THOSE DUMBASSES THAT SAYS MY MAIN GOT BANNED FOR EXPLOITING.
  • Also make sure to use a VPN in order to prevent possible IP-bans, but I don't think you don't have to worry about that since Roblox.
  • Incase you don't want to be IP Banned, here is a VPN, that is free and has unlimited data.
  • https://protonvpn.com/
  • Their servers are always loaded so be prepared for lag.

How do I check if my account is in risk of getting banned in the next ban wave?

  • So if you want to know if your account is tainted or not you would have to press the following:

Win + R

%appdata%

Go out of the Roaming folder

Go into the Local folder

Find Roblox

Open the Logs File

If you find an archive file in there open one of them and you'll see if you're tainted.

If it says "IsTainted=false" you're basically safe

If it says "IsTainted=true" you'll be banned in the next banwave.

  • That's it.

What does Filtering Enabled or FE mean?

  • Filtering Enabled is a form of anti-exploiting Roblox has implemented.
  • Basically, Filtering Enabled (FE) disables client modification of server values, or in simpler words, the client can't make changes to the game (credit to scriptinghelpers.org)
  • As Roblox says: Enabling Filtering Enabled is the best way of restricting exploiters from ruining your games. When it is enabled, with a few exceptions, changes made by clients will not replicate to the server (and therefore will not replicate to other clients). This means, if your game is properly designed, exploiters will find it much harder to operate in your game.

I downloaded the exploit how do I use it now?

  • Once downloaded, just attach and boom you can execute any script you want depending on the executor, have fun exploiting.

How does one place a backdoor into a game?

  • They add some hidden script in one of the parts, and when someone inserts the free model with the backdoor, and he publishes the game, and a player joins the game, the script will announce it to the discord via webhook, and will show the game that has the backdoored model in it.
  • You can go to YouTube and find how to make a backdoor if you wish to do this, but the dude who used the model has to be a dumbass so good luck.

What does Auto-Inject/Attach and Auto Execute mean?

  • Auto Attach/Inject basically, when you join a game and the exploit is running on the background it will automatically inject.
  • Auto Execute basically, as soon as you inject it automatically executes the script that is on your autoexec folder.

Before we head into another detail, I'll explain the most used basic scripts in Roblox.

Enables your character to fly all around the game.

Makes your entire avatar can collide false making, basically making you walk through walls. (sup jailbreaks og's who used cheat engine to no-clip)

Allows you to see players behind walls, also lets you see their name and what team they're on, pretty op on FPS games.

Sets your gravity pretty low and makes you jump high and fall slowly, somewhat useful?

Allows you to jump infinitely, good with Low Gravity. The only game I think this is useful is the game called Parkour by hudzell.

Exploiting Forums I Know, And Recommend:

V3rmillion (https://v3rmillion.net/):

  • Basically biggest exploiting forum out there, wholesome and somewhat toxic community, just need to get past the annoying captcha whenever you log in, there's also giveaways, sales, and etc., you can find scripts, and other exploits made by others, you can find almost all the good paid scripts here, super helpful community if you're asking adding more useful stuff into your script, just be careful on what you click, and make sure they do not log your ip, and make sure they are not an exe file.

Sir Memes Forum (https://forum.robloxscripts.com/ ):

  • Same as v3rm its a pretty big exploiting forum, theres also giveaways, sales and etc., and a very active community, you can also find scripts and other exploits, just be careful on what you click, and make sure they are not an .exe file.

WeAreDevs Forum (https://wearedevs.net/forum):

  • Good place to ask for scripts or find scripts, somewhat active community, just not the most helpful, but still good though.

Okay now we're done with that let's explain free exploits first:

❌ JJSploit (https://wearedevs.net/d/JJSploit):

  • Most popular free exploit, I honestly don't recommend this, the UI is shitty, every time you inject it's a guaranteed crash, whenever you execute a script you literally drop 30 frames. If you execute print("hello world") it might even crash that's how bad it is, the older version could do better than the new versions.

✔️ KRNL (https://krnl.gg/):

  • Most popular recommended free exploit, I recommend this, good UI, rarely crashes, can run some complicated scripts, best free exploit IMO, just has a key system but it's to help the creators of the exploit.

✔️ Oxygen U (https://oxygenu.xyz/):

  • Basically your KRNL backup if it's down or in maintenance, good UI, rarely crashes, can run some complicated scripts, also has a key system but same as KRNL it is to help the creators of the exploit.

✔️ Fluxus (https://fluxteam.xyz/):

  • Good UI, can execute a few complicated scripts, good executor it is also available on Mac, it will get the job done, I recommend it if your a Mac user.

✔️ Coco Z (https://wearedevs.net/d/Coco%20Z)

  • Smooth UI, decent executor. If you're using this you're probably impatient about KRNL or Oxygen U's key system.

Paid Exploits:

✔️ Synapse X (https://x.synapse.to/):

Costs: 15.00-20.00 Dollars

The one and only Synapse X, the best of the best, hottest paid exploit in the market, heavily recommending this. Rarely crashes, good UI, fast updates. Also has synapse only scripts available. Can execute almost all scripts, and is undetected.

✔️ Script-Ware (https://script-ware.com/):

Costs: 13.00-19.99 Dollars

Has a dashboard, and has a friends list which I think is pretty cool, good UI, fast updates, also has a very big script hub, and a lot of featured scripts, also available on mac, make sure to keep your eyes on this exploit, it is evolving it might even be better than synapse in the future, who knows.

✔️ ProtoSmasher (https://protosmasher.net/):

Costs: 15.00 Dollars

Good exploit, can run complicated scripts, good UI, powerful executor, you can save up 5$ to get Synapse instead, but this is also fine if you don't want to.

❌ Sentinel (https://sentinel.to/purchase)

Costs: 15.00 Dollars

Not worth it. This shit can't even run a phantom forces ESP script, while even a free exploit can run it. Please don't just get ProtoSmasher, it's much better power-wise. It has a good UI, fast injection, good stability but can't even run a simple script.

❌ NoobHaxx (https://www.popmusiclovers.net/first.php)

Costs: 3.00 Dollars

Yes I'm not kidding it's 3 dollars, but I heard that they just modified EasyExploits API and called it a day, well if you like to put it in your collection feel free to get it. Just get KRNL, it's much better power wise.

Some fun scripts to mess around with:

  • Infinite Yield Admin

loadstring(game:HttpGet(('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EdgeIY/infiniteyield/master/source'),true))()

  • Energizer Animation

Where do I get scripts?

  • You can get scripts in these websites:

https://robloxscripts.com/:

  • Uploads around 5-15 scripts a day, a lot of scripts 250 scripts average per month.

https://v3rmillion.net/:

  • You can find exclusive scripts on forums here, uploads idk scripts a day, a lot of scripts here, also a place where you can find good paid scripts.

https://wearedevs.net/forum:

  • You can find scripts or ask for specific scripts, make sure you do a little research before asking.

http://youtube.com/:

  • Don't even think going to YouTube trying to find a good script, they just add infinite link shorteners just to get money and you get a .exe file in the end. Only trust pastebin or github ones.

Pastebin

  • Yes, you can find scripts here, just have to add pastebin in the end of the text (e.g: Revis Admin PASTEBIN)

REMEMBER, MAKE SURE TO NOT CLICK LINKVERTISES IN ORDER TO NOT GIVE SCUMS WHO LIKE TO POST ALREADY POSTED SCRIPTS IN ORDER FOR THEME TO GET THEIR MONEY.

I want to make my own exploit hub

I want to make my own exploit executor

Server-Sided Paid ones:

TOPK3K SS (https://topkek.gg/)

  • Costs: 20.00 - 25.00 Dollars
  • Has popular infected games, and fun features. You just have to follow the rules.
  • Conhaxx SS (https://discord.com/invite/rNxcAsQ)
  • Costs: 10.00 Dollars
  • Basically a Condo serverside you can have fun in Condo games but be careful, since there might be admins in the ingame server and they might ban you instantly. Don't really recommend if you're after other games. Just have to follow the rules

Server-Sided Free ones:

  • Liquid SS (https://discord.com/invite/GdydKBmc8W)
  • Basically your regular free SS not alot of popular games unless you buy the premium one, it costs 3.00 dollars paypal, 400 robux in roblox.
  • Sinner SS (Their server got nuked lol)
  • Same as Liquid SS although this has more games, and was more popular.
  • Or make your own SS with this YouTube video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAfxYgNCNb0&t=320s
  • NOTE: THESE ARE ONLY SERVER SIDES I KNOW.

I want to learn how to make my own scripts

REMEMBER, MAKE SURE TO NOT CLICK LINKVERTISES IN ORDER TO NOT GIVE SCUMS WHO LIKE TO POST ALREADY POSTED SCRIPTS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET THEIR MONEY.

I was inspired by these two posts:

If you also don't know I posted a other long beginners guide, but this will be the last one for now. Maybe another longer beginners guide soon? :eyes:

Other post: https://www.reddit.com/r/robloxhackers/comments/m4rydr/longer_beginners_exploit_guide/

r/robloxhackers info:

We cannot bruteforce into accounts, this is a subreddit made for roblox exploiters.

There are a few people who can, but they will most likely not do it.

This is not a fucking krnl support sub reddit, they have their own discord here is a invite for the krnl discord server: https://discord.gg/qcg6jBrcfM

NOTE: DO NOT JOIN THE discord.gg/krnl SERVER, THEY LOG YOU BY SENDING FILES OR LINKS IDK BUT ITS NOT THE OFFICIAL SERVER.

IT IS NOT krnl.rocks anymore it is now krnl.gg tyvm.

No, JJSploit is not a bitcoin miner.

if you have more questions feel free to ask on the comments. Hope I explained everything here.

My unfortunate Bitcoin Story - A lost 300k opportunity

Hey my fellow redditors, today I want to tell you my story, how I lost a 300k opportunity while (almost) becoming a Bitcoin early adopter and how I want to turn my fortune now by going public with my story.

A young fool, with a plan

So to start, let's quickly jump back to November in good old 2k13, when you still where able to get one Bitcoin below the 100$ mark. Young me did his research, and made a plan: 1. Buy Bitcoins 2. ??? 3. Profit! Said that, I compiled my naiv thoughts onto a piece of paper in form of a simple Todo-List and started ticking boxes immediately:

  • Look where to buy bitcoin -> Check
  • Find the best price -> Check (It was around 100€ (120$) at that moment)
  • Talk with Dad about money -> Well that's where I faced some first resistance...

... as I still was a young adult I wanted to at least ask for my old mans opinion on that planned investment of mine. As soon as I had pitched the Idea of taking some real world money and and exchange it for some virtual magic internet currency named Bitcoin, I recognized this was nothing my Dad ever could warm his heart for by any chance. So I continued my list, to get some more prerequisites ready:

  • Create Coinbase Account -> Check
  • Wait if Bitcoin drops below 300€ again -> Ditched again, because it kept moving upwards
  • Ask dad if I can give him cash and therefore use his credit card -> This was where my dreams finally turnt to dust...

... so as the easiest way to get Bitcoins, was by using a credit card and I didn't had one back in 2k13, I approached my dad once more with money from my piggy bank savings in hand. I asked him kindly to lend me his credit card, so I could turn 500€ into Bitcoins, but oh boy I wasn't ready for the anger I summoned by exposing this plan. I was told that I could also just throw my hard saved money into the fire or out of the open window and so I refrained from ever asking my dad for many years to come as I trusted my Dad with his advice.

The last point on my list, I wrote as a premature conclusion was as follows: Bitcoin (currently) too expensive, waste of money (according to Dad), wait until price drops below 100€ (120$) again, then buy 5 Bitcoin for 500€.

Long story short: The bitcoin price of course never dropped below the 120$ mark again, but instead hit the 1000 USD mark a few weeks later. Disappointed by these events, I lost interest in the topic and moved on with life.

Fast forward to 2k21

Earlier this week, I was clearing out the storage in the basement, when I found my old college block with the old Todo-List. I read through with that bitter taste of a lost opportunity slowly appearing in my mouth, when I checked the current Bitcoin chart I was really flattened that I was kind of short by something around 300k$ because I closed my Todo-List back in 2013 with the wrong conclusion.

So since I also have heard about this new trend called NFTs, and people have already managed to sell their digital arts for sh*tloads of money, I decided to go for it and try to turn this story of failure and bad timing into a story of success! I have converted my 2k13 Todo-List into a digital animated NFT art and put it up for auction with the help of some tutorials I carefully followed along.

Let's see, how this will turn out I'm trilled! Maybe I will have lost another 160$ wich is the amount of in fees to set up the auction, maybe this piece of Bitcoins history will get auctioned for a little amount, that I can put into Bitcoin afterwards, we will see. But last and most importantly: I will not look back and recognize that this new Internet-Trend for NFTs is another train I have willingly missed to board.

TL;DR: I found an uncompleted Todo-List from 2013, when I planned to purchase 5 Bitcoin but never did. In an attempt to turn this missed opportunity into a success, I'm currently auctioning the original Todo-List that I turned into a NFT token.

My fellow redditors, what I want to tell you with this story is, that if you see an opportunity then don't let anybody talk you off from it if your heart tells you otherwise. Even if you fail with your investment, then you can afterwards look back and have surely learned something out of it. Looking back and see your trail sprinkled with missed opportunities is by far worse! It's never too late to turn things around.

P. S.: I love my Dad, and am sure he only had the best mind back then with his advice!

Thanks for bearing with me!

Front Page of WSJ: Super Cycle Looks Like a Stretch

I am betting on the continued demand for metals and steel to outstrip supply, but it's good to hear negative perspectives to test your thesis.

The basic thesis of the article is that the runup in commodities prices is just part of the general rise in all asset prices that occurred since the Fed and Govs pumped massive amounts of cash into the market, but that there isn't a real catalyst for a new supercycle event yet - such as the rise of China triggered a commodity shock in the 90s and 00s.

Positions:

X $25 Jan 22

https://www.wsj.com/articles/commodities-supercycle-looks-like-a-stretch-11615714383?mod=hp_lead_pos2

Commodity markets are roaring, stirring a debate about whether prices are headed for an extended upswing. The history of booms and busts in raw materials suggests the conditions aren’t right.

Prices for Brent crude, the international benchmark in energy markets, have jumped 82% since the end of October. Copper is more expensive than it has been since 2011. Food hasn’t cost as much since 2014, according to a United Nations index.

Some investors and analysts say commodities are in the early stages of a supercycle. That is a period when prices of livestock, grains, metals, oil and gas all climb for years, even decades.

A prolonged upturn would present investors with an opportunity to make money from long-term bets on exchange-traded products that track commodity prices. Such vehicles bloomed in popularity when commodity markets soared in the 2000s and early 2010s, only to fall out of favor when prices tanked in 2014.

But the chances of commodity prices rising in tandem over a long period are slim. Such cycles are rare. They have occurred when a major economy such as the U.S. or China undergoes rapid industrialization or urbanization, creating demand for raw materials that existing supplies struggle to meet.

Economists say they don’t see a similar catalyst right now. A swift expansion in the global economy this year and next is likely to power demand. Beyond that, many analysts see oil consumption, in particular, slowing down.

“It pays investors, it pays policy makers to be a little bit skeptical of characterizing the developments of the past six to 12 months as the seeds of a new supercycle,” said David Jacks, a professor at Singapore’s Yale-NUS College who has studied the history of commodity markets.

Commodity prices are an important barometer for financial markets. Rising gasoline and energy costs contributed to a modest increase in the rate of U.S. inflation earlier this year. Expectations of a leap in consumer prices sent bond yields surging in recent weeks and cooled corners of the stock market.

When resources’ prices swing higher for an extended period, one of three things happens. The first is an economic shock, such as the recession in the 1970s, caused in part by the Arab oil embargo. The second is a rush of supply as miners, energy producers and farmers seek to cash in. Over time, people switch to cheaper alternatives.

Adjusting for inflation, U.S. crude prices in 2020 were well below their peaks from 2008 and 1980, though they were more than double the 1945 level, according to data compiled by Mr. Jacks. Inflation-adjusted grain prices have dropped since World War II due to advances in crop science, Mr. Jacks said.

The last supercycle occurred from the late 1990s, when a rapid expansion of cities and industry in China unleashed waves of demand for natural resources, according to Daniel Jerrett, chief investment officer at Stategy Capital LP. Supply was slow to respond and commodity prices, adjusting for inflation, shot up.

“Is there anything out there like that now? I don’t see it,” Mr. Jerrett said.

The China-led supercycle kicked off with crude-oil and copper prices at their lowest level in more than a decade. That isn’t the case now: Copper prices, for instance, are close to record highs.

The current outlook for commodity prices is especially complicated because of a number of competing forces.

Some commodities have been swept up in the “everything rally’’ phenomenon. The roaring market for assets from stocks to bitcoin suggests investors are flush with cash and speculating that prices will keep rising. An influx of money into precious metals has started to reverse, showing how fast money can flow back out.

A big unknown is how the drive to cut carbon emissions shifts supply and demand for different commodities. Switching to cleaner sources of energy will likely turbocharge purchases of materials such as copper and nickel, bulls contend. Before those efforts choke off demand for gasoline and diesel, a dearth of investment in the oil industry could buoy crude prices, too.

For now, however, the oil market remains on life support from members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia, which are holding millions of barrels of crude in the ground each day to bolster prices.

The production cuts and a recovery in demand in China and India have helped oil prices rebound since crashing last spring. Brent crude futures have gained a third this year to about $69 a barrel. Some investors are betting they could surpass their all-time high of $148 a barrel in 2008.

U.S. production won’t keep up with the recovery in consumption due to restrictions on drilling on federal lands and belt-tightening by producers, said Christyan Malek, head of oil and gas research at JPMorgan Chase & Co. Cutting emissions at wells will boost production costs, and big oil companies are investing in renewable-energy sources instead of crude, he added.

The world’s biggest independent oil trader doesn’t see an imminent supply crunch. “We have plenty of reserves in the ground, we have plenty of refining capacity and we have plenty of ships to move oil,” said Giovanni Serio, head of research at Vitol.

Copper prices have leapt 67% over the past year to about $9,100 a metric ton on the London Metal Exchange. Goldman Sachs Group sees them hitting an all-time high of $10,500 in the next 12 months, in part because the energy transition will require metals that store and transmit power.

There are bumps in the road. Metal prices are the beneficiary of booming demand for goods and the economy’s emergence from lockdown. Both fillips are likely to fade. Also, it will be years before green infrastructure and technologies devour metals such as lithium at a pace that propels prices upward, analysts say.

Traders say there is plenty of copper available right now. Teck Resources Ltd. TECK -0.66% , Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. IVN 3.69% and others, meanwhile, are due to start producing at new mines in the next few years.

The current run-up in metal prices in part reflects the same forces that have driven the past year’s recovery in stocks and corporate bonds.

“Fiscal and monetary stimulus has underpinned the rally since last March,” said Tom Mulqueen, head of research at Amalgamated Metal Trading Ltd. “There’s just more money in financial markets.”

I find this one very cool. It is wild how many events we went through in 2020. Many of these major drops were 1 year ago. I think tomorrow will be the anniversary of the Black Monday I. Those two weeks were crazy. It is also an interesting example about how the market is forward looking.

The classic to the moon piece, but the line of the rocket is bitcoin I believe.

I had to write all of this so that there were no filters that stop this from being posted.

What do you all feel about this type of stuff?

I just think it’s pretty cool, but I do not have an office so I don’t really have anywhere to put it.


Got this e-mail today, should I be worried?

Greetings!

I have to share bad news with you. Approximately few months ago I have gained access to your devices, which you use for internet browsing. After that, I have started tracking your internet activities.

Here is the sequence of events: Some time ago I have purchased access to email accounts from hackers (nowadays, it is quite simple to purchase such thing online). Obviously, I have easily managed to log in to your email account (My E-mail).

One week later, I have already installed Trojan virus to Operating Systems of all the devices that you use to access your email. In fact, it was not really hard at all (since you were following the links from your inbox emails). All ingenious is simple. =)

This software provides me with access to all the controllers of your devices (e.g., your microphone, video camera and keyboard). I have downloaded all your information, data, photos, web browsing history to my servers. I have access to all your messengers, social networks, emails, chat history and contacts list. My virus continuously refreshes the signatures (it is driver-based), and hence remains invisible for antivirus software.

Likewise, I guess by now you understand why I have stayed undetected until this letter...

While gathering information about you, I have discovered that you are a big fan of adult websites. You really love visiting porn websites and watching exciting videos, while enduring an enormous amount of pleasure. Well, I have managed to record a number of your dirty scenes and montaged a few videos, which show the way you masturbate and reach orgasms.

If you have doubts, I can make a few clicks of my mouse and all your videos will be shared to your friends, colleagues and relatives. I have also no issue at all to make them available for public access. I guess, you really don't want that to happen, considering the specificity of the videos you like to watch, (you perfectly know what I mean) it will cause a true catastrophe for you.

Let's settle it this way: You transfer $1500 USD to me (in bitcoin equivalent according to the exchange rate at the moment of funds transfer), and once the transfer is received, I will delete all this dirty stuff right away. After that we will forget about each other. I also promise to deactivate and delete all the harmful software from your devices. Trust me, I keep my word.

This is a fair deal and the price is quite low, considering that I have been checking out your profile and traffic for some time by now. In case, if you don't know how to purchase and transfer the bitcoins - you can use any modern search engine.

You have less than 48 hours from the moment you opened this email (precisely 2 days).

Things you need to avoid from doing: *Do not reply me (I have created this email inside your inbox and generated the return address). *Do not try to contact police and other security services. In addition, forget about telling this to you friends. If I discover that (as you can see, it is really not so hard, considering that I control all your systems) - your video will be shared to public right away. *Don't try to find me - it is absolutely pointless. All the cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous. *Don't try to reinstall the OS on your devices or throw them away. It is pointless as well, since all the videos have already been saved at remote servers.

Things you don't need to worry about: *That I won't be able to receive your funds transfer. - Don't worry, I will see it right away, once you complete the transfer, since I continuously track all your activities (my trojan virus has got a remote-control feature, something like TeamViewer). *That I will share your videos anyway after you complete the funds transfer. - Trust me, I have no point to continue creating troubles in your life. If I really wanted that, I would do it long time ago!

Everything will be done in a fair manner!

One more thing... Don't get caught in similar kind of situations anymore in future! My advice - keep changing all your passwords on a frequent basis

I wanted to post a comment I would refer back to in five years...

I have spent the best part of six months now researching crypto assets. My thoughts:

1 - Bitcoin will always remain pivotal and as a store of value, will be unparalleled for the rest of civilisation.

2 - People talk of the MySpace of Crypto, I believe this will be Ethereum.

3 - COVID has accelerated the crypto programme by twenty years.

4 - The future of finance was always going to evolve as Fiat currencies were doomed to always fail from day 1. Again, this failing has just been accelerated by about 100yrs due to events since 2008.

5 - Timing is everything and ALGORAND timing of entry to the market will be referred back to by many. I think ALGO was always destined to be a success, but it’s timing has been both lucky and impeccable.

6 - The leader Silvio and his team are going to be the most respected Crypto team from the outside world looking in by far.

7 - Some will question the governance and government and country use of ALGO, as it may look like losing decentralisation. However in fact, I believe that gaining country and government approval (whilst remaining decentralised but truthful and legal and open book to authorities) will be the final piece of the perfect jigsaw.

8 - The price of ALGO will rise considerably but in a controlled manner also which will build reliance.

9 - The eventual team that ALGO puts together will provide the benchmark.

10 - the community and backers will be some of the most intelligent retail crypto enthusiasts. You can see that already in so many ways (even take this Reddit group which by far has the most logical and thought through posts and respect).

11 - in another ten years, quantum works will evolve and change things. However, ALGORAND will be one of the only (alongside Bitcoin) companies that has prepared for this day and in fact, use it as a benefit.


Get in on Bitfarms $BFARF while you can!

Original post by /u/Raboof22 he did such an amazing DD job that I wanted to help spread it! (My position is 3000 shares @ $5.69)

(OTC:$BFARF) - BitFarms - Bitcoing Mining - Severely Undervalued, Short Squeeze Potential, Imminent NASDAQ Uplisting

Hello Everyone,

I’ve been a reader of this board and a viewer of Deadnsyde’s for quite a long time. I love this community and really enjoy all the research and value that everyone is contributing here. I told myself I would never pitch a stock here unless I thought there was tremendous unrealized value. I’m not here to make a few bucks, but to identify, analyze, and create multi-bagger opportunities.

I spent 4 years in Investment Banking and spent the last 6 years in Private Equity investing in and building companies that are fundamentally sound and have the ability to scale and grow very quickly. I’ve become very good at identifying these types of opportunities and wanted to share my findings on the following company.

Bitfarms LTD (OTC:BFARF). The company is one of the largest cryptocurrency miner's in North America. They've been expanding rapidly over the last few years during the emergence and growth of Bitcoin and other related cryptocurrencies. As worldwide adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies emerge, the value of the company will exponentially increase based on their ability to mine bitcoin at extremely high margins.

I firmly believe that this company is severely undervalued relative to their public comparables (i.e. $RIOT and $MARA) and has the ability to 5-10x within the next 12 months.

CURRENT PRICE PER SHARE: $5

PRICE TARGET BY YEAR END: $35+

Bitfarms current market capitalization of $510 million USD (currently 1.2 exhash power or 9 BTC per day)

$MARA current market capitalization of $3.72 billion USD (currently 0.7 exhash power or 5 BTC per day)

$RIOT current market capitalization of $3.98 billion USD (currently 1 exhash power or 8 BTC per day)

CATALYSTS

· UPLISTING TO NASDAQ IMMINENT – Massive increase in exposure, volume, and new traders – potential 2-4x on up listing. This is the single greatest catalyst for this company. If Bitfarms were to trade by the same metrics as MARA and RIOT on the NASDAQ, it would be trading at a similar valuation (which would be in the ballpark of $25-30 per share).

· Mining same amount of btc per day as riot but trading at 1/8th of the valuation

· Heavily shorted (short squeeze potential)

· Aggressive expansion to 8.0 exhash (65+ btc per day)

· Massive growth of Bitcoin pricing

· Massive adoption/demand for BTC by billionaires, corporations, wall street investors & financial institutions, and retail investors

· Increase in infrastructure/power in MW outshines competition

FUNDAMENTALS

· The current Price of Bitcoin at the time of this writing is $57,000.

· Bitfarms Current Cost to Produce a Single Bitcoin: $7,500 (source: bitfarms.com)

· $49,500 (86.8% margin) gross profit per bitcoin before other expenses.

· Number of bitcoins mined per day at current 1.2 exhash computing power: 9

· $513,000 per day, or $187 million in revenue this year at current prices. I think a $100,000 bitcoin is entirely possible by the end of this year.

HEAVILY SHORTED

The shorts have been attacking this stock ever since BTC had the 27% correction from $58,300 to $43,000 at the end of February.

If you look at the following picture you can see that the number of shares short relative to daily volume are extremely high. Upwards of half of all volume are shares sold short. Clearly this stock is heavily manipulated to the down side. I believe if we get enough buyers and volume to the upside we can create a massive short squeeze and finally allow the stock to breakout to its recent high of $8.50.

NEWS

In a recent press release, the company recently announced they will expand to 3.0 EH by the end of this year (yielding 25+ BTC per day) and recently made a MASSIVE order for 48,000 miners to be delivered and installed by the end of 2022, which would bring the exhash computing power to approximately 8.0 (which would result in approximately 65+ BTC per day).

From the companies recent press release:

(https://bitfarms.com/app/uploads/2021/03/Bitfarms-Press-Release-March-2-2021.pdf):

“The mining equipment has been sourced from MicroBT (http://www.microbt.com). MicroBT has become our supplier of choice. Over the past eight months we have acquired over 12,000 of their mining rigs. The MicroBT miners are the most reliable, efficient, and consistent miners within the Company’s fleet. We anticipate the initial shipment of miners to take place on or before January 2022. Thereafter, miners will arrive monthly with the final mining rigs expected to arrive in December 2022. The miners will be installed at our existing and new facilities which are currently in development. In the event market conditions change, Bitfarms has negotiated certain delivery and contract adjustment options. Once the above-noted miners are fully deployed, along with the current and planned addition of new miners in 2021, the production capability of Bitfarms mining fleet is expected to grow from over 1.0 EH at the present time to 3.0 EH by the end of 2021 and then to exceed 8.0 EH by the end of 2022. Utilizing the latest generation of miners, the increase in our hash rate by a factor of eight will increase Bitfarms’ global market share and substantially increase the number of Bitcoins earned on a daily basis. In addition, the subject miners are rated to achieve high levels of performance while consuming less electricity than earlier models. Bitfarms has always been an extremely efficient mining company and with the addition of these productive miners and greater scale, our corporate efficiencies are expected to set a new performance standard.”

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

  1. Extremely skilled and experienced management team
  2. BitFarms utilize cheap hydro-electricity and have long-term contracts with the utility provider for consistent and inexpensive power delivery to their 5 warehouse locations Quebec, Canada.
  3. Geographic locations in Quebec, Canada allow for them to keep the operations cool much more efficiently and at lower costs, resulting in more efficient operating temperatures for their miners.
  4. Vertically integrated

a. They own an electrical contracting company which is available 24/7 to install, maintain, and upgrade their infrastructure, keeping their operating costs down.

b. They have on-site repair specialists who are available 24/7 to repair any equipment/miners that go down

c. They have advanced software that detect inefficiencies and laggards of miners, and enables onsite repair to optimize the weak chains and increase performance
