Yeah, I kept imagining being one of the other people at that guys job (or...is that his workplace? Is he just in a computer lab?) and thinking about how I would definitely quit, that same day, rather than be in any job where that guy is part of it and he gets to record videos like that

anyway this is a high comedy of code-is-now-law:
12/ tl;dr a routine upgrade marked the zero hash as a valid root, which had the effect of allowing messages to be spoofed on Nomad. Attackers abused this to copy/paste transactions and quickly drained the bridge in a frenzied free-for-all— samczsun (@samczsun) August 2, 2022

im sure ive said this itt before but the the whole blockchain smart contract thing is pretty funny in that it makes the popular misunderstanding of a contract real, that its a bulletproof literal document where you can trick someone with fine print and once its signed youre stuck without recourse, and now theyre finding out why contracts dont actually work that way lol
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 August 2022 14:10 (one year ago) link
does that nomad behavior even count as a vulnerability/hack? it's like they said, "we don't care who people say they are". it's on the level of finding a bug in javascript code written by a teenager to trade magic cards.

No more hilarious/disturbing example of this misunderstanding than the blockchain "consent" app posted somewhere upthread. Inefficient processes have a certain benefit. Not going to say nothing could be done with technology to improve them, but you really don't want these transactions (contracts, title transfers etc) to be instant/automatic.
