dunno bro maybe you are right. that's how it was explained to me

[sand trench]

YAML (/ˈjæməl/, rhymes with camel[4]) was first proposed by Clark Evans in 2001,[15] who designed it together with Ingy döt Net[16] and Oren Ben-Kiki.[16] Originally YAML was said to mean Yet Another Markup Language,[17] because it was released in an era that saw a proliferation of markup languages for presentation and connectivity (HTML, XML, SGML, etc). Its initial name was intended as a tongue-in-cheek reference[18] to the technology landscape, referencing its purpose as a markup language with the yet another construct, but it was then repurposed as YAML Ain't Markup Language, a recursive acronym, to distinguish its purpose as data-oriented, rather than document markup.

But yeah, it's only the festival-level ones I go to

[split compass]

We do monthly events about 120 people.

[glass nest]

Anything smaller is not usually worth the fuel, as I live in the bottom corner of the UK and most events are in the iddle

Thats cool. Small enough to get plot, but big enough to fade into the background if you like

[split compass]

What's the commute?
I travel ~5 hours to get there.
Couple of my friends ~9

Most others are less than 2 hours.

[glass nest]

My main one (called Curious Pastimes) is about 1000 people I think?

[split compass]

Yeah I'd have to go to Biccoline to get to that size.

[glass nest]

The other one (Used to be the one I played) Empire by Profound Decisions, is like 1600 odd now, but really hard to get an OC trading spot there

honestly, I really like the ye olde type stuff, but couldn't get into the role-play aspect of it.

I found that there were far too many.... 'Well, technically...' type people there, and it hamperd my enjoyment of it

Going to the game is about... 4 hours for me? In the UK thats a long way, plus fuel costs a lot more over here 😄

Are there any recommendations? What stats would be the most important?

[glass nest]

How far along your hacking journey are you?

[crimson flame]

I would say not very far, but I do enjoy it so far

I wouldn't want to spend more than 600€ on the laptop

[glass nest]

Thats cool. In that case, you can't really go wrong. Chromebooks are a pain, so avoid them.

[pine kayak]

A laptop that is easy to open and upgrade. I love Lenovo just for that.

[glass nest]

As arabel says, That too.

[analog ravine]

i have never upgraded a laptop before

[glass nest]

honestly, just get as good a laptop as you can for the budget

[wild rose]

Yeah you don't need to break the bank to get a decent laptop.

[crimson flame]

I had an Thinkpad long time ago. It was good, but it is very old now.

[analog ravine]

thinkpad + linux 👌

[pine kayak]

Nowadays, there might not be a need for powerful laptops if you just want to hack on THM. Most are on the cloud nowadays.

[glass nest]

Some people will talk about getting a good GPU for hash-cracking, but honestly, it's only needed once you are REALLY into it. Personally, never had an issue

[foggy maple]

hi

[pine kayak]

If you game ,then that's a different story.

If you game, get a PC haha

[latent ginkgo]

yup gaming laptops should not exist period

[crimson flame]

For gaming I have my PC at home. I just want a portable Laptop to do some rooms CTFs on THM and HTB for now.

[pine kayak]

The Steam Deck on the other hand is perfect.

[latent ginkgo]

i've got an arm windows laptop, the battery genuinely lasts 24 hours

[glass nest]

My last laptop as an Acer Nitro something, and i got it half off as it was an ex-display model. Lasted... 7 years before it borked

Even then, I could probably revive it. I think it was the HDD that messed up

[wild rose]

how is an ARM laptop, cuz was wondering if programs will work with it since it's a different architecture?

[latent ginkgo]

good question, a lot of stuff is incompatible currently

[polar spoke]

correct

laptop cracking isnt suggested anyways

[tight trout]

look at costco if you have a membership, I got a laptop for almost $500 less than the retail price from there

[glass nest]

Ooh yeah. And pickup a $1.99 hotdog while there

[latent ginkgo]

i've got kali kex installed on it though, and all the native kali tools work fine

[crimson flame]

I am eyeballing a the Lenovo Thinkpads, but the newer models start at 1.3k€ and up.
So an older model would be enough.

[wild rose]

interesting

[grand mirage]

Hello everyone

[jolly plume]

Hello!

[glass nest]

ChickenMan, do you have some sort of alert hooked up, or do you genuinly drop in at the opportune moments? 😄

[crimson flame]

I have read that it is advised to run a VM and don't just use Linux as the OS. Is there a specific reason for that?

[pine kayak]

Older models would be enough. These are tough and last long.

[tight trout]

my fav machine is a HP Prodesk Mini with an i5 and 16gm ram running ParrotOS. runs like a dream

[pine kayak]

I use Linux to run a home lab full of VMs. Never a problem.

[tight trout]

kali can sometimes have a tendency just just die sometimes

[glass nest]

Kadset - Running Linux on 'Bare metal' (as we call it) is fine, just use a stable one, link Ubuntu or something. Things like Kali arent great on bare metal, and... well, you might break it, so a VM is a better solution for that

[latent ginkgo]

i guess for snapshotting and reverting purposes, probably more applicable if you're doing stuff like malware analysis. not sure why else it would be preferred over bare metal install tbh

[chilly veldt]

I run arch on my laptop

[split compass]

I played a rogue for 23 years with almost no armour. Then decided, y'know what, let's make a character with a MASSIVE sword and full shiny.

[analog ravine]

i want to run parrotos outside of a vm. maybe on like a dedicated laptop i use only for that

[split compass]

My rogue is still around, he fights with dual kali sticks, which has gotten too easy 😄

[grand mirage]

If you use Linux os try docker instead of vmware or virtual box

[glass nest]

Best way, Broken. So many people get put down and come back as more-or-less the same with a different hat and accesnt

[tight trout]

it's super stable, uses MATE i mean i swear i think my next computer will be the home version on the bare metal

[pine kayak]

Ah, i misunderstood what you said. Don't mind my answer.

[analog ravine]

you should use linux as an os

[pine kayak]

Snapshots are why I VM.

[split compass]

Yeah, I want to be different things 🙂
The hard part is forcing myself to associate with different friend groups so I don't fall into old habits from the wrong character.

[crimson flame]

I am using a VM with Kali on my PC for THM atm.
I would like to have it on a second machine for that purpose.

[tight trout]

i have to use windows for school :(

[analog ravine]

VMs to me are always laggy and slow

[latent ginkgo]

kali kex on WSL works fine

[crimson flame]

Hm, I would only use the Laptop for hacking. So it wouldn't be a big deal if the OS dies?

[split compass]

They shouldn't be.
VMs are the backbone of >80% of the Internet.

[glass nest]

Kadser, Good plan, but y'know... breaking a VM is nothing but an annoyance. breaking your main OS can be a huge pain in the neck

Up to you though

[analog ravine]

i cant get them to work well then haha

[wild rose]

oh yeah can you run android apks natively on windows ARM?

[pine kayak]

Possibly your host's specs cannot handle em.

[grand mirage]

What about lenovo yoga ultra series

[split compass]

How do you interact with your VMs?
There's a decent chance what you're observing isn't a performance issue, but a responsive UI issue.

[latent ginkgo]

i've not even tried but i saw something about this on linus tt

[analog ravine]

maybe tbh

[tight trout]

windows has some setting that can hamper vm performance

[pine kayak]

Looks great, but I heard are underpowered. Have not tried them though.

[crimson flame]

I understand. Kali is prone to break?

[split compass]

All Hypervisors have naturally terrible UI passthrough. Configuring to get around that is Hypervisor specific.

[glass nest]

Kadser - Not overly, but remember what you are using it for 😄

[tight trout]

it's not the most stable distro, it won't break for no reason but don't expect it to last forever

[split compass]

The way one uses Kali is prone to causing issues.
So being able to snapshot and roll-back or replace freely is a significant consideration.

[glass nest]

You're gonna be adding stuff to the PATH, adding random tools, editing settings all sorts. If you are doing stuff right, you'll probably break it at some point 😄

Using a more stable Linux as your daily driver is a great way to get used to terminal commands and permissions and stuff

[crimson flame]

Well... atm I am just doing the rooms and stuff with it. I wouldn't use the Laptor for anything personal. So a reinstallation would be as annoying as setting up an new VM. Or is there anything I am missing? :D

[glass nest]

Reinstalling a whole OS would be more annoying. A VM will tkae like... 5 mins to install? a whole OS can be 30 mins to a couple of hours.Plus you lose everything

[tight trout]

it's still good to get into the habit of using vms

[glass nest]

And with a VM, you can try out different OS's in relative safety. Kali, Parrot, Tracelabs... arch

[crimson flame]

Okay, But it is not like I could completely brick the laptop, or can this also happen?

[glass nest]

With a VM? Very unlikely. With bare-metal... just unlikely, depending on what you are doing with it

That being said, you can brick a laptop by putting your bag down too hard, y'know?

[tight trout]

is it worth the risk?

[glass nest]

(May or may not be based on a true story)

[pine ridge]

Hey

I have now noticed that it is a pc locked in With active directory.

Is there anyway to look up who the administrators are?
They dont have it staff, so it must be old

[pine ridge]

How do we find bugs?

Setting up a new VM is as easy as downloading the latest appliance release from OffSec and pointing your Hyper Visor at it.

The TL;DR on it is:
Think about your home lab.
You have a Firewall, maybe on PFSense, and maybe a switch internally with VLANs for inside/outside traffic, and a Storage NAS, and maybe a Proxmox hypervisor with PiHole, and Jellyfin, and a Squid proxy, and maybe a VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure).

Now condense each of those down into a controlled and managed virtual infrastructure.
Then place it inside a computer.

That coems with time. And I think you'd be surpised at how much you would already understand

[wind lake]

its not uncommon for me to have to google what someone is talking about when theyre helping or ask for them to expand

[worthy venture]

i work in Security, currently working for the government in CCTV

[wind lake]

ah so you want to switch to the nerdy security

[worthy venture]

absolutely

[crimson flame]

I think I found one that I like. Intel® Core™ i5 13420H, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD.
Does that sound good? Or nah?

[pine kayak]

Or ask ChatGPT real quick.

"What's CCTV?"

OHHH

[wind lake]

laptop?

[glass nest]

Seems solid, Kadsar

[fair crystal]

chatgpt is a godsend for studying ahah

[crimson flame]

Yes, Lenovo V15 G4 83A100JFGE

[wind lake]

seems alright. lenovo is prety good i think

[crimson flame]

No GPU though... but I guess that is not a problem?

[glass nest]

back in my day we didn't have no robots telling us how to study. we had to ask Jeeves.

[worthy venture]

i realised my job offers degrees and noticed that cyber kind fits in with my role and its always been something ive been interested in. so thought why not use this time over the next few years to bolster my knowledge

[wind lake]

heck ya

[glass nest]

It'll have an onboard GPU

[worthy venture]

ask jeeeves

[wind lake]

not really unless ur gamin

[worthy venture]

someone suggested tryhackme on reddit for getting some training and knowledge so gonna start here

[crimson flame]

GPU power is not required to crack hashes or something?

[rapid merlin]

2080 Ti, 32gb of ram is the absolute max

[worthy venture]

hopefully when the new tax year comes in next april i can get enrolled on a cyber degree of some sort

[glass nest]

Kadser - It is in some cases, but not really needed at the level you'll be studying right now

[crimson flame]

Great, then I'll buy it. Thanks for the help

[wind lake]

depends on the hashes lol

[pine kayak]

Good luck!

[worthy venture]

thank you!!

that's what o use and it's perfect

[sand trench]

sooo shadow is looking for a new backpack
and want recommendations
preferably with patch support
and a few years of warranty
and buying directly from manufacturer and not amazon

[glass nest]

THM rooms are kinda designed that if anything needs brute-forcing or hashes cracking, it can be done on a regular machine

[wind lake]

look at kelty redwing

what do you mean patch support? you want to be able to put patches on it?

[rapid merlin]

I would assume so, yes

[sand trench]

yeah

[pine kayak]

Yep. To help with this, we usually pick the passwords that are near the top of lists, so they can be found sooner.

Oh if you are tall then its good lol. I had the compact one and it did the job for me

[chilly veldt]

5.11 is the brand

[silver sky]

No 5.11 is the brand

Used to be good. Now just sells overpriced non unique tactical stuff

[pliant cairn]

[tight trout]

yeeee haw

[sand trench]

yes shadow is collecting a lot of different backpack manufacturers currently to compare and decide

yes this will take a few weeks for shadow to decide

[pliant cairn]

These backpacks are definitely the inspiration for tarkov devs lol

Miltech ofcourse

[wild rose]

I try to avoid military packs and pelican cases. I always get stopped like I'm carrying heat.

[narrow bone]

check TK Maxx if you want to spend all day

[tawny ruin]

aww the memories from military service and Savotta rucksacks ❤️

[chilly veldt]

might grab a pentagon tac maven instead

[silver sky]

Miltec copied Blackhawk

[chilly veldt]

that bag is 50L

[silver sky]

Pentagon stuff is decent

So is helikon

[sand trench]

doubt shadow wants bigger then around 40L

[chilly veldt]

yeah, looking for something that is compact and can still carry more than 36L

[dark frost]

i absolutly need a job now to buy those things now

[pliant cairn]

Yeah seen some. But miltech got decent stuff atleast for a civilian like me

Did they copy everything?

[sand trench]

[dark frost]

report this to instagram support

[chilly veldt]

ah yes, 1 liter more 😄

[pliant cairn]

This is thm platform. No one can help with that. You can check with Instagram support if you got issues with that

[silver sky]

Technically meets your requirements

[chilly veldt]

touche

[silver sky]

Not everything but the original assault pack was made by them

Blackhawk gear was the goat tho (they just fell off)

[dawn pawn]

Who is messaging from which mobile?

[silver sky]

Contact Instagram support.

[dark frost]

that only instagram Support can tell you , they know everything connecting to them ,

instagram don't allow making account using kali linux distribution , a friend told me

[silver sky]

Not even true 😂

[dark frost]

have you tried ?

[silver sky]

If they did that, they'd block all Debian Linux users

[pliant cairn]

Chat is this real?

[mossy river]

It would be pretty hard to block this

[sand trench]

Really right in front of shadows hot cocoa???

[idle reef]

is there some sale for black friday for subscribtion, my will end first december so i would like to buy another

[sonic chasm]

hello, is anyone here doing/have done the BSides 2024 Cape Town CTF on TryHackMe?

need some help

[mossy river]

I don't think this is a public CTF

[silver sky]

Is this a public room?

[dark frost]

he told me it blocked the making of the account , for potential suspicious activities , maybe instagram didn't liked the browser he used . or a plugin

[sonic chasm]

really?

[mossy river]

Likely him being on a banned proxy or making too many accounts

[sand trench]

more likely on adblocker being the cause

or what jabba said

adblocker or banned ip range

[mossy river]

@sonic chasm This isn't a public CTF, please don't share the URL here 🙂

[silver sky]

There's a load of reasons this would appear. Suspicious IP/proxy/VPN, too many accounts etc

[sonic chasm]

sorry, got it.

[mossy river]

No problem:)

[pliant cairn]

Ip based ban is totally possible. And also if the account is being made with unusual email domains

[dark frost]

oh yeah it's possible it's the email he used too

[silver sky]

At the end of the day if they were to block Kali Linux, one that would have to be able to detect Kali, and given as it user agents as Debian Linux it would affect other legitimate users.

There are ways to detect that it's Kali but it's no different to someone downloading specific tools onto Linux distribution. I could quite easily spin up Ubuntu and then install whatever tool I needed.

[dark frost]

i need to call my friend :3 long time not seeing him

[pliant cairn]

Each social media has their tolerance. But they wouldn't completely let go of an ip. They might flag it. But they will definitely insta ban if someone uses temp email services or self hosted email

[wild rose]

Call and tell them that their car's extended warranty is about to expire.

[pliant cairn]

Can't relate. What is a "friend"

[silver sky]

Depends on the domain for self hosted email.

If it's a new or unknown domain probably flag it

[pliant cairn]

Yeah pretty much

[dark frost]

a Komrade made during study 🙂 going out drinking , studing , great fellow i can call friend

and i have close friend , someone i will help at anytime he need help , and so does he . and we meet once every 2 weeks ends doing fishing :3

Now it's not going to be easy to do that.

We can't even skip updates. We are a 24 hour department and they don't stagger updates so we have to manually do it when messages appear

I was going to check out the names to take some notes I had pending

Does it disappear after you purchase premium?

bear in mind thats an 'unofficial' free path, just shadows recommendations.

Premium shouldnt change the layout of the site at all, just allow you into the premium rooms

[tawny aurora]

Hello, I am a bit new here, but I was just wondering. I am a data scientist trying to move into cybersecurity. And I have heard that cybersecurity is using a lot of hands on programming for scripts and exploits and automating a lot, especially in python. So I was wondering, what things are worth learning in python, C# or C for cybersecurity, is there a lot to learn, or any special libraries, network programing etc? And btw, should I start learning the coding parts for cybersecurity first or would you recomend me starting on thm?

[little siren]

Lol I wish

[tawny aurora]

Srry for disturbing your conversation btw.... 😬

[errant fossil]

#start-here Would be a good start

[glass nest]

hiya Loklish - Programming isn't really needed for cybersecurity. It more useful to be able to read code rather than be able to write it

[tight trout]

Definitly useful, but not neccesary

[little siren]

Not even python or bash scripts?

[glass nest]

You'll probably have to do some python scripting at some point, but thats not that hard. Python is basically english

[tawny aurora]

oh, that is cool, I guess I have gotten the wrong picture of it, and why is that?

[errant fossil]

python i think would be benifcial

[tawny aurora]

okey, but are we talking simple python code then, like arrays, lists, loops, classes etc. Or something else?

[errant fossil]

Yup enough to understand what you are looking at.

[little siren]

If you start doing thm you will get a look at what you need, advent of cyber 2023 has some python malware tasks

[tawny aurora]

Oh, damn, that is cool!

But what about sockets and networking programming? I have watched some vidoes about some people talking about that.

thank god

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @fervent meteor (current: #60 - 135)

[tawny aurora]

hahah

[errant fossil]

and for starting on thm take a look at this roadmap-https://tryhackme.com/r/hacktivities

[wooden totem]

enough knowledge to edit borrowed code

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1110599222098657291.webp?size=48&name=Whitewclueless

[glass nest]

once you know how networks work (Which you can learn through Tryhackme) you won't need any of that, unless you build tools

Just dive in Loklish 😄

[errant fossil]

Best advice tbh

[tawny aurora]

Oh, thx! Is that something thm did themselves, as their own kind of roadmap?

[glass nest]

Stop it Sal, you're making me blush.

[errant fossil]

Yup, its made by thm

[tawny aurora]

Oh... I just looked at 101 course, looks like a lot of things, how am I even going to remember all that.... 🫣

[glass nest]

Take notes 🙂

[errant fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/crunchycat-luna-cat-smirk-smile-gif-9301919548442205824

[little siren]

Notes

[tawny aurora]

yea, ofc....

[errant fossil]

It seems overwelming at first, just take it step by step and take breaks and really just understand it, no need to rush

[glass nest]

Also, you'll use the fundementals a lot. They are.. well, the basics after all. So over time (Usually a short time) you'll just remember it without thinking

[narrow bone]

Re-reading rooms and searching for rooms about the same topic to strengthen your memory

[tawny aurora]

Okey, but to study these things, I guess the rooms are for like testing your knowledge and skills to try help remembering it better by doing it practical?

[glass nest]

And talking to the fine folk on here aswell 😄

[little siren]

Both

[tawny aurora]

just a FEW....

[glass nest]

Testing, but also teaching. a huge chunk of the rooms are walkthroughs

[tawny aurora]

yea, ofc!

[tight trout]

ruby not mentioned :(

[tawny aurora]

Okey, but thx for your help guys, I feel like I have gotten a better understanding of this and that I am ready to start learning.

[errant fossil]

@fervent meteor How you doing? havent seen you a lot

[glass nest]

Yeah. Same way you can make an educated guess about a written language, you'll be able to do the same with programming languages after a while

[tight trout]

:O

[wooden totem]

when you want to test your skills you go to hack the box

[glass nest]

Loklish, you were ready to start the moment you logged on 🙂

[tawny aurora]

hahaha, yea in one way or another I had to start somewere

but feeling like coming here more often would be a great help on the way aswell

[glass nest]

of course.

have a look at the Advent of Cyber event. starts this weekend, Beginner focused, walkthrough videos for each task. And you might win a cool prize

[errant fossil]

That sounds fun, Yeah i've been great busy with college

If you forget to finish your code, DreamBerd will auto-complete the whole thing!"

print( // This is probably fine

😭 😭 😭 😭

[tight trout]

To run DreamBerd, first copy and paste this raw file into chat.openai.com.
Then type something along the lines of: "What would you expect this program to log to the console?"
Then paste in your code.

Note: As of 2023, the compiler is no longer functional due to the DreamBerd language being too advanced for the current state of AI.

Someone explain to me why a simple discord music bot requires admin permissions, I would rather just not have it than give you that

[molten sky]

lazy dev

[wooden totem]

it leaves the voice chat if it doesnt have the permission

it has every single permission beside admin and it refuses to join, how is this trusted by 1.5mil users

Get well soon shadow, i am trying too

I've been listening to the same sad songs for 3hrs and even some country songs. I hate country.

[devout palm]

I support you all and believe we can do this

[tepid citrus]

As a security analyst, how would you answer a tell me about a time you worked on a team task question ? What example or answer would the HM be looking for ?

That’s some next level hacking shit

[glass nest]

It's so much cringe

[torpid portal]

is there any way to learn the thing u did learn in the task beside the task? like a little test or something I dont know

[crude stump]

Hm

[torpid portal]

I learn for 10 hours right now but how can I check myself if I have everything in head

[teal wharf]

gotta be careful with on what u test tho

[glass nest]

Well, if you know what the technique is called, you can use the search function on THM to find challenges that feature that thing

[crude stump]

Yeah challenges

[torpid portal]

thank u guys

[devout palm]

Hol'on he is loading his text editor (possibly notepad.exe)

[teal wharf]

but just so u know a real life machine or task , is muuuch harder than what u exercice in rooms

most of machines in ctfs or rooms (at least from easy-medium ) are misconfigured and highly vulnerable

[glass nest]

I know! Just getting permission is task in itself!

[torpid portal]

the funny thing is

even the easy machines I look like a much more newbie than now hahahah

cause I did the pre security path but if I take for example the FowSniff Organisation machine I didnt ever hear anything about nmap and so on

[glass nest]

Cri - Thats ok. In the walkthroughs you are leanring one specific thing. a CTF, even an easy one, The challenge is to decide which ones are apporpriate to use on that particular challenge

You say that, but nmap is usually step 1

It's the bread and butter, so many rooms don't bother listing it. Like 'Look at the hosted website'

[teal wharf]

sometimes even a pro would struggle with an easy ctf if that would make u feel better

[crude stump]

Lmao

[torpid portal]

hm ok

I try m best

[crude stump]

It was too get not to share

Good

[pearl raven]

Gotta show PoC bro.

real hackers pop calc.exe though.

Jowp, don't. I could murder a beer right now

but 0 booze for about 2 years now

[pearl raven]

Sorry dude, congrats on the sobriety!

[glass nest]

Wasn't cos I had an issue or anything.

Just cos.. well, logically I didn't see the point

Now, I kinda can 😄 a refreshing beer

[pearl raven]

hehe, for me it gets very boring. I don't enjoy the hangovers etc.

[glass nest]

That was part of it. As i was getting closer to 40, it took waaaay less to give me a headache the day after 😄

[wooden totem]

is anyone here experienced in modern cryptography related to file reconstruction perchance

[wild rose]

I've gone from sad country songs to sad techno songs... Am I making progress?

NFTs are straight scams I swear bruh

Waste of money

Do like stocks or something, something that’s actually regulated

[rapid merlin]

I've never seen anyone use NFT's for anything but money laundering

or tax evasion

[wild rose]

today my mom called me and said how do I invest into DOGE? I was like mom do you even know what that is. She was like bitcoin.

[crude stump]

They make no sense too

[glass nest]

@sick lance Was giving some away

[crude stump]

Anyone can put out a nft

I honestly don’t know how they got so popular

[rapid merlin]

are they still popular?

[crude stump]

I mean, I haven’t heard of em in a minute but I’m not into crypto so I don’t really know

[rapid merlin]

except among circles of 14 year old wannabe pimps

I don't think they're actually popular

[crude stump]

How do they even work?

[rapid merlin]

^

it's literally just a .png

[crude stump]

lol

That’s wild

[rapid merlin]

or .jpg, or whatever photo extension you choose to upload in

LOL

how do people think NFT's are a good idea

[crude stump]

How much to put it up

[wooden totem]

I mean you can also make your own meme coin (crypto)

so its pretty similar

[rapid merlin]

so just use a specific midjourney prompt to make a bunch of cool looking images and upload them

which is what they probably are anyway

[crude stump]

New method just dropped

[rapid merlin]

it's what they always were LOL

[rapid merlin]

probably what was used before

[crude stump]

Probably

[rapid merlin]

just spamming midjourney

[wooden totem]

you have to pay to put it online, and nobody will buy a regular image it has to be part of a collection tied to some bigger name

[crude stump]

Aren’t there like interactive nfts

[rapid merlin]

you'd be surprised

[wooden totem]

you would get more money putting it on etsy

[crude stump]

Only thing that’s kinda cool is some of em get you into a club but even then those cost ungodly amounts of money for a png

@mossy river

[glass nest]

@naive violet

[crude stump]

Thought we were having a nice conversation

[wooden totem]

its not just a png, its a token that happens to have a png tied to it for marketing

[crude stump]

Yeah I have no idea, what a token is

[boreal scarab]

@sick lance

[crude stump]

Not very versed in crypto stuff

And never will be

[wooden totem]

put 5 dollars in a jar and mark the jar with 100 characters, thats a token worth 5 dollars

[crude stump]

Hm interesting

And what makes it secure unlike a bank

[wooden totem]

(but you cant touch the jar, you can only empty the jar into your account)

[teal wharf]

you just got 0.000397144 ETH transfered 28h ago , aint that enough ?

[wooden totem]

why is that a real address

[crude stump]

How much roughly is that

A dollar to much

[rapid merlin]

^

[teal wharf]

1.37 usd

[rapid merlin]

[crude stump]

Damnnn

You can buy some Cartier glasses with that

[rapid merlin]

never understood how people can unironically beg

it just seems so weird

[wooden totem]

(you can't buy stuff in most places with crypto)

[teal wharf]

the admins are a bit busy so take that as a second chance and stop this discussion of urs
