Probably it's not the capability to send custom intents. Everytime i buy a new device, i look for apps with unknown or curious names, check the manifest and use an app like Intent ( https://play.google.com/store/app

i have played with go-ethereum's code in past and that sounds like something that could be implemented as an experimental consensus algo. Have you ever built some sort of model for this reward mechanism?

100% agree. ERC20 have matured to the point where some valuable projects actually exists. There is probably some shady business around NTFs today and the non-shady business portion of the market is very small. imho, NFTs have lots of potent

Probably disclosure is the best option. Silently tamper with the data might cross a legal line. doing this might put at risk current or past cases where there is a legitimate reason to use this sort of tool. Privacy can be hard. While i 100

Yup. Those things have way to "fell from a truck". Another win for the "fell from a truck" gang ;)

what is tracked is outputs and inputs, not addresses. addresses are derived from a public key or a script. when a block is mined, an output is created, outputs can only be spent once. a bitcoin transaction is just a list of existing outputs

exchanges keep lists of stolen coins and probably use taint analysis https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.05754.pdf

AFAIK exchanges will not accept certain outputs, this is probably based on taint analysis. I believe the FIFO method [1] is the most accurate and probably used by exchanges [1] https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.05754.pdf

that seems quite common in the gaming world. i've seen games packaged with tons of *.pyd files (the python dll equivalent for windows). Probably a large portion of the game logic was implemented in python

Not surprising. I just wonder how trivial is to exploit it and if it's not one of many "honest mistakes" that some companies sometimes commit. Some trivially exploitable and very reliable stack overflows on some routers come

Got bitten by this too in my early days of learning go. This was around v1.4 and until now haven't seen or had the need to pass a SomeInterface(nil) to any function or method call. To me it's more a consequence of the type system

This is something that we will see happen more and more in the future. We are moving slowly to a more decentralized infrastructure than the current one, it's only plausible that malware writers will adopt more decentralized techniques.

After unboxing a new device, i usually take a look at what is installed (using pm) and poke around (by reading the app manifest and sending intents to the app).
