@JeremyRubin ?
Anywhere we can zap Nitter? Their donation links only has a normal on-chain address, and that's hella un-private.
The lack of circuit breakers for large transactions or many small ones adding up at SideSwap is almost as much of a piss-off as the bug leading to the extra LBTC here.
A real shame. After big blocks lost in the blocksize war I liked the liquid side chain for handling small amounts of bitcoin to reduce pressure and incurring of fees on layer 1. Peg-ins were a nice way to dispose of smallish UTXOs vs the privacy loss of consolidating and there were some privacy benefits to consolidating LBTC on Liquid.
Several things about lightning don't work great for me, I can't keep a watchtower online all the time and rocking a mobile wallet + the data usage as a monitoring node is not something I want to do as I'm trying to resist the smartphonification of everything.
Liquid was nice for spending smaller amounts on lightning from time to time because there were exchange smart contracts out there like Boltz (gone but there was swapmarket) where you could pay lightning invoices with LBTC and even make lightning invoices.
Another thing about lightning is having to maintain multiple channels to have workable liquidity. Not really a great end-user technology, a layer to build on.
Even if I'm keeping a channel open, the smart contracts for trading lightning-LBTC were nice as I could leave a lightning channel in a relatively low balance state (less worry about the other party in the channel / watchtower needs) -- I could then fund it quickly and easily when I needed it.
Even if there really is a whitehat here who gives everyone a happy ending, Liquid ecosystem will be pretty damaged.
I guess we've got the world of bitcoin eCash as a substitute (cashu, fedimint). Instead of one really big federation with support from Blockstream it entails working with a bunch of smaller custodians and micro federations. Painful if needing to spread nuts across them / figuring out how much trust they are worthy of.
I successfully sold around 18 BTCB2 on Neoxa for 11k USDC and withdrew them to atomicwallet.io swaps into BTC.
The liquidity in BTCB2-USDC is much better than in BTCB2-BTC. The sell wall of 18 BTCB2 at 600 USDC was torn down within 20 minutes yesterday, causing lower maker fees. Or have fun tanking the price. Whatever your goal.
The withdrawals go through a manual approval process, which adds about 5-15 minutes delay.
Make sure you pick USDC-ETH on withdrawal and on atomicwallet.io swap. It's easy to make a mistake (USDT != USDC). Copy your USDC deposit address on Neoxa into the return field on atomicwallet.io, just in case.
I was actually surprised this worked as well as it did. Not everything in crypto is fraud. Or they are just waiting for bigger fish. :)
I was watching Nixon the other day, I really liked it, Oliver Stone usually delivered.
One of the darkest scenes of the movie goes when Nixon as a president pays a visit to the CIA director at the time. It sums up what CIA and FBI were and still are, what's now called "the swamp"
Very confusing situation with Neoxa, after the social media posts about an end-user suffering a loss (a ticket may not have been filed) I thought there was social media from the exchange about not wanting all the bad feedback they were getting.
Maybe that was BS, as this blake2b coin is still trading there.
Any further representational research? This does seem to have been around a little awhile prior to the hard fork.
Anyone know deposit minimums, withdrawl minimums? Relevant for a risk mitigation strategy of moving in small amounts of blake2b, trading, withdrawing something useful (doesn't have to be bitcoin if fee efficient to do something else)
I wouldn't deposit bitcoin-sha256 there but there may be some logic to taking a flyer with the blake2b coins.
