Heads up if you’ve used wagyu.xyz. WhiteArmor (a new data extortion group that’s only been around a couple weeks) listed the site and demanded $5M. After @PerpetualCow didn’t pay, they claim they dumped the data: roughly 38k swaps with amounts and addresses, plus about 10k user records that include IPs, countries, browser fingerprints, sessions, and device names. Volume tied to it is listed around $907M. This isn’t fully confirmed by third parties yet, but multiple trackers have the listing and samples were referenced. If you used the service, treat the metadata as potentially public. A few things worth thinking through as a Monero user: If you hit it over clearnet, the real risk is straightforward. Your IP, country, and browser fingerprint are now potentially linked to specific swap amounts and times. That gives anyone with the dump a clean way to tie real-world network activity to your Monero usage. From there, amount and timing correlation becomes a lot more practical. Distinctive swap sizes or tight time windows can be matched against later spends or receives, especially if any of those funds touch less private places later. The fingerprint also makes it easier to correlate the same device across other services. If you used it over Tor properly (Tor Browser, not some random browser over a Tor proxy), your real IP shouldn’t be in there. That removes the strongest single linkage. You’re still left with the order details themselves though. Exact amounts and timestamps are still useful for correlation if an adversary is looking hard enough, and any fingerprint that leaked (or session data) can still create residual links if you weren’t isolating the browser profile. Tor cuts the biggest risk but doesn’t erase the metadata the service chose to store. The broader issue is the same either way: Monero’s on-chain protections don’t help with what an intermediary logs before the funds ever hit the chain. Once someone has the amounts, timing, and any network identifiers, the anonymity set shrinks. High-volume users or anyone who used noticeable amounts are easier to prioritize. This is also why a lot of people in the space have been skeptical of services that keep this kind of data in the first place, even when they’re advertising as no-KYC. Wagyu already had some history of trust and reliability questions (centralized bridge model for native XMR, downtime, AML screening slips). Logging IPs and fingerprints on a Monero swap tool just adds another layer to that. If you used it, assume the metadata is out there and adjust accordingly. Clearnet users should treat that IP and fingerprint as known. Tor users still want to think about whether the amounts or timing create usable correlation points with other activity. Going forward, Tor Browser for anything privacy-sensitive is the baseline, and the less metadata any service holds, the better. No-KYC doesn’t mean no logs. The on-ramp is still usually the weakest part. #XMR

Just have a think about where we started, what we’ve gone through and the insane things that have happened already. The beeple post The Elon like ❤️ The kol vamp which we destroyed Proud to be a solana:5tCju6YNxHq5zrA6tGndr6F7TK42mpUFmeE31cSFpump holder

good chunk of fomo’s gtm team is 22 or younger including myself think consumer crypto/onchain equities will be a super innovative narrative that brings in a lot of smart young individuals

I don’t even know what to say anymore. Bro is reaching new levels of delusion, arrogance and perhaps even crime. The absolute gall to blame traders. This guy has a MASSIVE platform and has used it to: - Run a dog water memecoin about HIMSELF - Hard shill pumpfun everyday - Launch a pump fun wrapper and attempt to sell a couple of tweets for $100k - Start a podcast with fucking Banks of all people - Build another trading terminal like we need one of those All the above take the space backwards. It’s a real shame because he has the capacity for so much more but chose to take the cheap personal gains over real leadership. Makes me sad man.

Friendly reminder during these tough crypto markets Do nothing

$PEARL was hyped as AI Bitcoin: fair launch, no premine, no VCs. Turns out the lab behind it quietly raised ~$130M. Per @TheMarker (25th of Oct) $55M equity across two rounds from Lightspeed, Ribbit and Square Peg, plus a separate $75M fund for the company's own GPU array. Israeli outlet ICE matched it to corporate filings. No comment from @prlnet or the founders yet. I closed my long on the way down. Rode it from 5 figs unrealized back to almost flat, plus a juicy funding bill lol. The tech is still one of the most interesting things in crypto x AI. But with emissions this high and a launch this concentrated, a big part of the narrative is kinda dead rn imo. What still holds? The coin is fair in code. No premine, no token allocation for founders or investors. You either mined PRL or bought it. What doesn't? - The start: Difficulty began at the minimum and could only climb ~0.03% per block, so for days blocks came every ~12s vs a 194s target. Day one minted 12.3% of all PRL to date. The first six days minted a third (120M PRL, ~$210M today) on ~1/60th of today's hashrate. - Emissions: ~1.15M new PRL a day, ~$2M at $1.75, ~23% of daily volume. Hashrate tripled since late Aug, so blocks land every ~161s vs the 194s target. That's +83% to +97% more supply over the next 12 months. - Mining: One pool found 52.6% of the last 500 blocks, the top five 91.8%. So why does the raise matter if the coin was fair? Bc nobody outside the lab knows who owns that supply: - Do investors or the team hold PRL, and how much of week one did they mine? - Does the $75M GPU array mine PRL? Pearl GPUs mine as a by-product of inference, and the lab sells inference on its own API. - Will any of it be locked? Venice ($VVV) runs the same equity plus token split. But Venice announced its $65M raise, filed a Form D, locked investor tokens and burns part of its revenue. Pearl has none of that and trades at a $3.7B FDV. Price barely reacted: ~$1.80 when the story broke, $1.75 now, ~29% off the $2.46 ATH. The real test is Coinbase (roadmap since the 19th of Oct, no date yet). It's the first venue where early miners can sell size into real books, on top of ~1.15M new PRL every day. What gets me back in? - Disclosed investor and team holdings, incl. week-one mining - A clear answer on who controls the GPU fund and whether it mines - Locks on lab and investor PRL - Inference revenue that actually reaches the token A rebound is easy while liquidity is this thin, and if the team fixes this it can run again. I'm just not back in before they answer. NFA ofc.
