#Dusting

2025-04-06

Getting random small amounts of crypto in your wallet?

It’s likely a dusting attack, not free money. The best thing you can do is just leave it alone. We explain why here: auriccrypto.com/articles/scams

Why I don't use any #Cryptocurrency and espechally not #NFTs:

#SmartContract-based #Malware is rampant and not only are there no repercussions for #dusting attacks but even the #OFAC had to address this problem because #tainting #wallets with #TornadoCash is just absurdly rampant.

@howelloneill @agreenberg Considering the way #AML works and the fact that all #EVM-based and compatible #Blockchain|s in fact are fully transparent, it's trivial to just #DenyList / #Blocklist wallets that interacted with it.

Tho at this point in time I consider the latter one as foreseeable consequence.

And yes, that is so rampant the OFAC had to write an FAQ about it...

THANK YOU SNOW SQUALLS!:

It's been a #dry start to the #winter season in the #Northland, especially for #snow.

That changed Sunday with several snow #squalls and #lakeeffect #showers passing through.

Several areas got a couple inches of #accumulation, with nearly everyone getting at least a #dusting.

The snow was followed by cold #temperatures that feel more like the season.

#wxtooter #weather #wx #MNwx #WIwx #UPwx

Some of the highest snowfall totals seen in the Northland since Sunday, December 17, 2023 include 7-inches in Gile, Wisconsin, 4-inches in Bessemer, Michigan, 3.5-inches in Pence, Wisconsin, 3-inches in the Hurley/Ironwood area, 1.5-inches in Iron Junction, Minnesota, and 1.1-inches at the National Weather Service Office in Duluth, Minnesota.Low temperatures in the Northland for the morning of December 18, 2023 ranged from 18-degrees in Ashland to 4-above in International Falls.

@tante But then again the only purpose for #Shitcoins like #Bitcoin :bitcoin: and #Ethereum is to taint wallets with "#dusting" attacks, thus basically preventing people from using their accounts.

Cuz unlike #Monero :monero: , there is no #privacy on #USDT, #USDC or any other #coin - regardless if #stablecoin or shitcoin, nor is there some confirmation/denial/widtholding process like an actual bank...

@selzero People who shill #Shitcoins and have a #eth name on their profile are unbearably #cringe.

Needless to say that in the age of #dusting, this level of blatant self-doxxing will bite them in the rear more than anything...

Seriously, who in their right mind still shills for #Ethereum, #Bitcoin :bitcoin: or any other #Shitcoin in the era of #Monero :monero: is beyond me.

@greyarea @silverpill Also one wants that shit to actually work like cash and not beholden to some centralization.

I.e. all those #Stablecoin-#Scams being able to delete funds from specific wallets due to "#sanctions" as well as the whole "#dusting" attack vector on #Ethereum (and #Bitcoin :bitcoin: ) using tainted coins and wallets which are the equivalent of getting a monkey to throw feces at someone's face.

@sollee more specifically it allows to basically (D)DoS publicly known wallets with tainted coins (.i.e #TornadoCash) which is known as #dusting...

@bhawthorne @mhoye so it it actually practical as a #Payment system, because the people behind it actually designed it with that single goal in mind without being reliant on a single point of trust or failure.

And unlike #Bitcoin or #Ethereum one can't taint your account with illegal funds, which is so rampant since the #TornadoCash ban that even #TreasuryDept's #OFAC recognized "#Dusting" as digital equivalent of throwing feces at a restaurant's windows....

Here's the fully baked version of the homemade Rustic French "artisan" bread in a boule that I was documenting halfway through in the very last post of my feed before this one. In the first 15 minutes of baking this at 500 degrees, the top of the dough was kept wet, by spraying it down right before baking and then covering it with the lid of a Dutch oven, trapping all that moisture in there as it perpetually evaporates and condenses; then in the second 10 to 15 minutes, the lid is taken off, allowing the top to dry out quickly and then achieve that perfect golden-brown crusty consistency without worrying about overcooking into burnt. This will be the hit of the dinner party later, I think!

P.S. The frosted top is achieved with rice flour, which retains its sturdiness under more water than wheat flour does. Once you spray the loaf down, then dust the top of that watery surface with the rice flour, and it will still remain in its powdery form at the complete end of baking.
