Anyone else heard of the Sophon bot that snipes brc-20 in the mempool and front-run them?


Front-run them? By paying higher on-chain fees? That would absolutely make the fees higher and the network more congested, no? He's not making the situation better for the users in general in my opinion.

Looks like this was the reason why we had an inscriptions break last month...

Is it currently running? Because it could also be the reason why we're having record-breaking fees. Perhaps it was better to let users use the blockchain?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯



From what I heard and read in the article, it doesn't just front-run the brc-20 in the mempool, it changes also the mint amount to 1 which spoil the whole transaction. (Please somebody correct me if I'm wrong)

From the article: "The Sophon was activated on October 3, and text-based inscriptions plummeted 72% to 13,700 from 49,000 the day before..."

Yes, the bot pays higher fees at the moment brc-20 get detected, but creates disruption for inscriptions hence overall fees lessen.

it says in the article that the bot lacked funds to operate around october 23rd which is when the inscriptions fees rose exponentially again.

So in theory it is not running right now. Not saying this bot is a gamechanger but it could be a fun little tool to spoil the token minting / inscriptions on Bitcoin...

This is a very crap project, I've seen coinmarketcap is promoting it in their ico calendar. Let me puke a little. I hope not too many newbies falls for this scam.

I need to spill my bags somewhere, I'm a ultra small gpu miner, I've been watching Red Panda Mining in the past but unsubbed a couple of months ago because I felt the guy was misleading newbies and he's not a very good and efficient miner himself. That's not a problem, we're all learning, but here is my problem with him: Red Panda Mining has been forever talk-shitting Ethereum like he hates it. He was not primarily mining Eth until mid-summer 2020 when it became super highly profitable. The guy was also mining through Nicehash while ETC it was 51% attacked twice in the same month (thanks to him)... And he kept mining there while ETC was attacked  Undecided Now he is trying to "unite" miners together for Ethereum's safety... yeah right... Am I the only one seeing the dishonesty in this guy?

In cryptocurrencies the gains are sometimes impressive, but it goes the same and often more for the losses. When an altcoin gets forgotten, become unlisted and no price tracking is available anymore, am I right to think that I can keep wallets to declare losses of value from them?

J'espère que Bittrex a une bonne sécurité informatique car ils ne se feront pas d'amis avec cette stratégie...

Pour ce qui est des régulations sur les échanges américains par rapport aux enregistrement de wallets, je crois que tenter de s'appatrier le bitcoin par régulations, c'est automatiquement s'exclure de celui-ci. Ils ne parlent pas beacoup de la façon qu'ils comptent réguler les centaines de milliers d'addresses de mineurs... Cela risque d'être désastreux surtout pour les échanges u.s., qui ont eu, depuis le début de leur existence, la volonté d'agir en toute conformité envers leur gouvernement.

À chaque jour les cryptos nous prouvent leur bien fondé!

The first time I tried to mine Litecoin was exactly 6 years ago, with a good old Radeon HD6850! I then realized a day or two later that there was a thing called ASIC  Cheesy



When did you guys stumble onto Litecoin?

I'm starting to follow a bit my deposits addresses to Altilly and I realized that the ethereum withdraw wallet (possibly) of Altilly hasn't moved since the exchange went down, and still has over 24 ETH in it:

https://blockchair.com/ethereum/address/0x1a2c9c848d9e9df10d45dd736fde9910d21e56b9

On the other hand:

one of Altilly's active Litecoin address was already empty on december 24th:
https://blockchair.com/litecoin/address/LVJEMLwEFwmWb4P6qoXLX4bC7MwqjHJGZ7

one of Altilly's active Dogecoin address was already empty on december 25th:
https://blockchair.com/dogecoin/address/DFnP5y1fpU6snYGkQHKK53mYmXeXgiXvQ7

one of Altilly's active Bitcoin address was already empty on december 24th:
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/334eYEeRNj6XkSpq411Gs5DfZAFVtVmqG1

above is one of the address Altilly started to use for deposits on october 28th, before this date it was:
https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/12TqdX5Rz1sPFejJ6Qz84NzgHz4JuuH7q1

My theory is that the "safe storage" wallets were compromised. For a while, customers deposits were covering for others customers withdraws. But those behind the theft couldn't cover it anymore. So the servers were wiped off.

Altilly aussi, a disparu en plein à Noel... voir altilly.com
topic d'Altilly sur btctalk (je suis actif sur le thread et donne mon opinion car j'y avais un compte): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5166945.0

C'était un petit échange altcoin basé en Suède qui hébergeait gratuitement et souvent exclusivement beaucoup d'altcoins du défunt Cryptopia (Unobtanium, 42, Phoenix, etc). Le motus operandi est très semblable à ce qui s'est passé avec Livecoin quelques jours auparavant, à l'exception que l'attaquant a supprimé l'entièreté du contenu des serveurs. Le vol des users pourrait avoir eu lieu dans les semaines précédentes car les wallets (ayant de la valeur réelle) de l'échange étaient constamment en maintenance et l'échange offrait des retours d'intérêts élevés sur le btc, eth usdt et ltc locké avec eux(qui frisaient l'irréalisme) Undecided...

Wow, jamais entendu parler d'altilly... Comme à chaque fois, ces histoires de 'hack' laissent planer un doute, non ? Pas de possibilité que ce soient les créateurs qui se soient barrés avec la caisse ? (ce qui ne changerait rien à votre problème tu me dira...). La question que je me pose c'est : justement, vous ne vous en êtes pas posé,vous, des questions en deposant des assets sur un exchange méconnu qui proposait 'des retours qui frisent l'irréalisme' ?

Désolé pour toi en tout cas  Undecided

En effet @GrosWesh, depuis quelques semaines, je voyais plusieurs signaux d'alarmes et je me posais de nombreuses questions. J'ai d'ailleurs retiré presque tout de ce que j'avais sur l'échange en début décembre (environ 95%). Mes pertes sont limitées. Je ne gardais là que quelques alts obscurs que je tradais tranquilement à profit, en étant conscient que ceux-ci étaient à hauts risques. Je tradais d'ailleurs depuis près de 2 ans à cet échange, donc je commencais à leur faire davantage confiance. Mon intuition m'a sauvé le cul, je suis passé très, très proche de me brûler cette fois, justement dû à ces tactiques alléchantes pour garder nos fonds sur l'échange. Je suis responsable de mes pertes. Merci de ton empathie. J'ai eu ma leçon cette fois... encore une fois  Smiley

Si tu es dans la crypto-sphère et tu appelles le bitcoin un shitcoin. Tu récoltes ce que tu as semé. La débâcle de xrp n'est pas une catastrophe mais la simple manifestation de ce que l'on appelle le karma. Une personne humble apprendra de ses erreurs et deviendra meilleure tout simplement.

Not a bad habit to take screenshots of what you hold on exchanges. But a proof of assets can easily be falsified on the user side. And for the exchange side, we've seen that data security is an issue.

Imo the theft is the work of probably only one person. But probably someone on the inside, for reasons I'm not aware of. Hearing the domain was basically stolen through an old inactive email from 3 years ago should help find who did this, as probably not many person were to be aware of that. I believe the rest of the staff at Altilly giving updates is genuinely affected too and are doing their best to sort things out. So thanks to the ordinary people stuck in this mess and doing their best, for my part, I'm not too affected so don't worry for me.

I also had a withdrawal that was confirmed but never went through over a week ago from RVN. Never cared because it was 27 RVN's...

Here is what I am asking myself since early december:
Their system status page had a deposit, withdrawal, and "safe storage" wallet. But where was that safe storage located? As it seems their funds were already funneled elsewhere. For example: in early december, when trying to withdraw a substantial amount of litecoins that was deposited only 3 days earlier, the litecoin withdrawal wallet of the exchange had to be put in maintenance for 12 hours so that my withdraw could be finally fulfilled. After that, in the system status page, the amount of litecoins, in safe storage, stayed exactly the same even though there was supposed to be a substantial amount of litecoin subtracted from my recent withdraw.

So the person allowing the withdrawals for litecoins and managing the maintenance during that time, had to know that something was going wrong, because I knew...

I recommend to the staff left at Altilly to look at who of theirs left the boat just before the shtf, because if someone on the inside caused that, he/she would left you hanging with all the troubles...

edit: after reading @drofxafm comment,  I agree that in the concourse of multiple mistakes, I think it may also be the work of an attacker maintaining stealth control over the exchange for weeks... only time will tell if we'll ever know...
