A scammer gained access to two of my wallets and within 5 minutes, managed to drain about $20K worth of coins (at the time).

I know I'm at fault here, but I'm trying to learn from this. I'm aware I can kiss these coins goodbye.

What baffles me is how they accessed not one, but two of my different seed phrases.

Some of my suspicions:

1. The seed phrases were stored in 1Password (I know, stupid, it's now fixed). However, there were other seeds in there for wallets containing about $5K, which the scammer didn't touch. Why would they leave those?
2. 10 days earlier, I used portalbridge.com to bridge ETH to SOL. But I confirmed it was legit, and only connected one of the compromised wallets.
3. Hours before the hack, I used [this guide](https://shoprestatement.com/blog/how-to-block-fast-fashion-brands-from-google-shopping-search-results/#paste-this-code) to filter some Google Shopping search results using uBlock Origin, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
4. I had some apps cracked by m0nkrus, but they are considered legit as far as community trust goes. Also, these were installed quite some time ago.

Here's a breakdown of the transactions that occurred during the scam:

# Wallet 1a (ETH): 0xdcD7F0CC4B01d02Ab3963270F0Dd242ee2108d6C

• 2.92 ETH stolen and transferred to 0xAfFD49F769F2Afc92b98C0BcAE86FBFb567f8F6D, then moved to FixedFloat (0x4E5B2e1dc63F6b91cb6Cd759936495434C7e972F).
• 1,456.38 AGRS and 0.019 ETH stolen and transferred to 0x9a49DD07481B3B6e6452F7970CfE9Bfb12F234D6, where they currently remain. # Wallet 1b (BNB): 0xdcD7F0CC4B01d02Ab3963270F0Dd242ee2108d6C

124,583.39 SAITO and 55.44 XCAD swapped for 4.02 BNB via 0x1a1ec25DC08e98e5E93F1104B5e5cdD298707d31, then 4.49 BNB transferred to 0x9a49DD07481B3B6e6452F7970CfE9Bfb12F234D6.

# Wallet 2 (BNB): 0x805b2c2012f5Ea9607f4F2B8F8BeAdD126D10c7b

52,665.91 SAITO swapped for 1.59 BNB, which was then transferred to 0x9a49DD07481B3B6e6452F7970CfE9Bfb12F234D6.

The BNB from Wallet 1b and Wallet 2 was consolidated in 0x9a49DD07481B3B6e6452F7970CfE9Bfb12F234D6, and 6 BNB were moved to 0x6297EC9F725919A5FD2ca95240f59e09585871dA, before being transferred to a FixedFloat hot wallet (0x4727250679294802377dD6cA6541B8E459077c9).

The address 0x1a1ec25DC08e98e5E93F1104B5e5cdD298707d31 appears to be a contract linked to ongoing scams, judging from the comments posted on it, but I wasn't able to infer anything from these.

I've also filed a police report and reached out to FixedFloat. They've responded that they can investigate the scammer's server and order logs, potentially retrieving the IP address and other identifying details.

Any help would be appreciated!

They both have similar market cap and they both have to go 5 to 6 times reach their ATH. While games are thriving on Avax, Cardano has its defi space growing with Hydra coming in the future. I sold all my Ada when it was around 30c or so when Kraken stopped staking rewards (can anyone thrive in the US?) and never bought back. I have another bag stuck in Celsius. With Ada I have always been a bit unlucky. Either I breakeven or sell too early or buy high (2017). Thoughts other than do your own DD?

Long post. TL;DR at the end.

I have a friend who’s in a unique and challenging situation, and I thought this community might have some brilliant insights. They’ve recently come into possession of 1 million tokens of a certain utility cryptocurrency. Without going into specifics (for privacy reasons), here’s the crux of the issue:

• The crypto in question is relatively niche, with a daily trading volume hovering around $20k. • It’s not widely listed – only available on a couple of exchanges. • The current market price puts the nominal value of these tokens at around half a million dollars.

However, the low liquidity of the market means cashing out a significant portion could heavily impact the token’s price (not to mention tax implications and potential market panic).

We’re brainstorming strategies to realize value from this holding without causing a market crash or waiting years to liquidate. So far, we’ve considered:

• Gradual selling over a long period. • Using the tokens as collateral for a stablecoin or cash loan. • Exploring staking or yield farming options, if available.

But we’re feeling a bit stuck and could really use some fresh perspectives. What creative, effective strategies could be employed here? Are there any out-of-the-box ways to leverage such a holding that we might be overlooking?

Any insights, experiences, or advice would be massively appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts!

TL;DR: Friend holds 1M tokens of a low-liquidity utility crypto, worth about $500k nominally. Looking for creative strategies to profit from these tokens without tanking the market price. All ideas are welcome!

I've always done my taxes manually through turbotax and every year it's stressful as heck. Does anyone have experience going to a tax professional for crypto transactions through DEX's like Uniswap? How do you prepare? Do you go to a bigger company like H&R or a smaller more private office?

Recommendations on how to go about finding one that specializes in crypto are also welcome. Doing it through turbotax online is stressful because I always feel like I do it wrong and I never know if I'm overpaying or underpaying.

Sorry in advance if this is vague or has been asked a million times - I just want to get some others perspectives this year.

Title. My understanding is:

OP = optimistic rollups

ARB = optimistic rollups + zksnarks

Isn't ARB just OP+zksnarks?

Is my understanding wrong?

If so, why is OP outperforming ARB if ARB does everything OP does plus more? Isn't ARB fundamentally better than OP?

Can anyone explain what I'm missing???
