Exactly 8 years ago, I discovered a security flaw in Gaana, and reported it to @satyan, and they were kind enough to reward me with a bounty.
That motivated me and I reported security flaws in 40+ companies after that including Telegram, Redbus and many more
Gaana's parent company Times Internet put me on a retainer for a few months, they're India's largest digital products company, I reported security flaws in their subsidiary companies, which formally kickstarted my security career and there was no looking back.
I was 17 and knew nothing about how the world of finance works.
With all the money I made I started trading Ethereum, arbitraging and invested in altcoins.
I mined bitcoins on my school computers in 2013, so was always fascinated about crypto.
I've always been a security maximalist, but haven't been much active in it lately, I aim to focus more on security in the coming months.
I stumbled upon security by clicking on a random youtube video titled "How to code a virus" and then here I am today.
The quote tweet below is what changed my life
Replying to @satyan
@satyangajwani I have discovered a major vulnerability in Gaana And I would like to get in touch with you to disclose it.
the number is misleading, it is just a random number estimation
founders don't need to make their unlisted sell proceeds public, so only way is ask the founders how much they made, they can't interview 248K founders
throwing random numbers to sound cool.
i need the confidence of polygon taking a shot at stripe
Watching big companies scramble to glue together a stablecoin payments stack they never actually built together is painful.
At Polygon we’ve never had that problem. We built the Open Money Stack as one product from the very beginning, with one team and one roadmap. Even acquisitions immediately fit into it.
When someone wants to talk about onramps and then has questions about wallets or cross-chain transfers, they stay with the same people. You want a custom chain, same team. You want dedicated blockspace, same team. You want a stablecoin checkout flow in your app, same team. You want an insanely crazy custom unique solution that requires multiple domain experts to work together--again, same team.
There’s no handoff, no separate wallet team or chain team or checkout team, and no one telling them to talk to someone else.
We’re smaller, we move faster, we're more global and we came out of crypto with deep payments experience already in the building. That combination is difficult to assemble after the fact, and it’s why the conversations we have with customers tend to stay in one place from the first call to the last.
elon said he'd said human's to mars on spacex rockets by 2025, any update on that yet?
SpaceX will capture an asteroid with more gold than Earth's crust and land Optimus robots carrying American flags on Mars within 8 years.
Starship parks Psyche in geosynchronous orbit over an American Pacific atoll. No humans within 50 miles. Optimus robots extract the metals. Delivery to Earth is free though some burns up on entry.
Bezos said 15 years ago Earth gets zoned residential as heavy industry moves to space. Vast distances make emissions irrelevant.
The same fleet lands on Mars in 8 years max. Optimus robots deploy solar panels, batteries, compute, and Starlinks for 4K video before humans arrive.
SpaceX moves the factories off the planet.

"OpenAI solved Navier-Stokes. Math is solved!"
"No it's not. do you even know what Navier-Stokes is?"
"No, Do you?"
"No"
