TL;DR
Full Story
You recognize that one Australian dude who found an infinite cash glitch on a sure sort of ATM?
The place, so long as a sure sequence of withdrawal requests had been made between 12am-1am at evening, it wouldn’t be debited from his account?
All he needed to do was go to an ATM as soon as an evening, sort in a couple of numbers, hit the large inexperienced withdrawal button — and BAM!
Cash in his pockets.
Yeah, properly — that is kinda just like the crypto model of that:
A handful of airdrop farmers just lately found the web equal of that ‘huge 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 tasks not solely airdropped crypto as a reward to their early customers — but additionally to their early contributors.
And that these ‘contributions’ had been tracked and quantified by the quantity of feedback every individual had left on a crypto venture’s Github repository.
What’d they do subsequent?
We will’t be sure, 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 tasks
-
Discovered their Github repos
-
Hit ‘em with a bunch of feedback mechanically
Excellent news/unhealthy information (relying on the place you stand):
This airdrop glitch not works.
Tasks have gotten sensible to the tactic and restricted the quantity of feedback that may be left on anyone Github repo.
R.I.P. 🙏
