R.I.P: Crypto’s Infinite Money Glitch Just Got Patched

TL;DR

Full Story

You recognize that one Australian dude who found an infinite cash glitch on a sure kind of ATM?

The place, so long as a sure sequence of withdrawal requests have been made between 12am-1am at night time, it wouldn’t be debited from his account?

All he needed to do was go to an ATM as soon as an evening, kind in a number of numbers, hit the massive inexperienced withdrawal button — and BAM!

Cash in his pockets.

Yeah, nicely — that is kinda just like the crypto model of that:

A handful of airdrop farmers lately found the web equal of that ‘massive inexperienced withdrawal button,’ within the far reaches of the web.

The button in query was the ‘remark’ button on sure Github code repositories.

See, these farmers realized that some Web3 initiatives not solely airdropped crypto as a reward to their early customers — but in addition to their early contributors.

And that these ‘contributions’ have been tracked and quantified by the quantity of feedback every particular person had left on a crypto undertaking’s Github repository.

What’d they do subsequent?

We will’t make certain, but when we needed to guess, we’d wager it went a bit one thing like this:

They wrote a bit of code that…

Recognized a bunch of crypto initiatives

Discovered their Github repos

Hit ‘em with a bunch of feedback routinely

Excellent news/unhealthy information (relying on the place you stand):

This airdrop glitch not works.

Initiatives have gotten smart to the tactic and restricted the quantity of feedback that may be left on anybody Github repo.

R.I.P. 🙏
