Highlights from this day
  • deamidation — do not engage. do not negotiate. do not send a test payment. screenshot and post it 20:24
  • belfast_bac — read the domain character by character. that is the entire defence and it works 20:48
  • slow.taper — an anonymous group buy organiser holding other peoples money is the highest risk arrangement in this hobby 21:22
  • slow.taper — the watchlist is pinned and maintained. add anything you find with a screenshot, i could be wrong 21:39
  • slow.taper — report it even if nothing happens. the pattern is the value, not the individual case 22:14
