What does this mean, i jsut got the same?

If this is an actual dust attack, don't touch the HEX. Don't give it back or do anything with it.

>>20745701
It's a secret message don't tell anybody if you know what this means.

>>20745701
I don't understand
What happened?

>>20745764
What’s a dust attack?

I put my stack on kucoin to swing and missed out on free hex even if it's less than a penny

>>20745981
they hope you spend it so they can trace wallet activity to a person and then use that knowledge as a point of attack

if you received dust do not touch it

>>20746068
>>20746055
>>20745764
What if you just uniswap it away?

>>20746055
>>20746068
What if my wallet already contains HEX, does that mean I can’t spend any of it? Fuck I know I sound like a tard.

>>20746055
How exactly would they do that anyhow?
Not touching this hex shit but curious what would they even do? Should I move my other coins out of that particular wallet address and leave the hex to rot?

>Miner fee
Yikes

>>20746055
cant they just look at my wallet activity anyway, i have trades going to and from binance and shit should i be worried

>>20746095
>>20746125
>>20746126
I'm literally too much of a blockchain tech brainlet but im assuming just like how the IRS can track your blockchain activity, bad actors do it as well to a lesser degree since they prob cant get KYC info from exchanges

>>20745701
say, "thank you"

RH has been filling London with HEX ads. They're showing during soccer matches too. Wouldn't be surprised if millions of HEX from the OA was airdropped to certain/random wallets. He's got hundreds of millions of dollars he would never be able to convert to fiat, and he's going hard on marketing HEX. It's fundamentally a good project (and finished). I think he cares too much about his ego to let this project fail.

>>20746188
no, they still have to do social engineering of some sort im assuming to get a keylogger etc on your computer, which can then be used to access your wallets. like "hey this wallet belongs to this anon ok now he is our point of attack, find a way to get his passwords

>>20745701
>173,003 txns
ayy lmao

this is actually different than the wallet that did it to me. the one i found has been sending transactions constantly for around 90 days. fucking crazy man. i unironically expect the IRS to rappel into my window from helicopters with guns drawn like in the comfy pepe meme at this point even though i dont even have enough fake internet money or move it often enough to have to pay tax on it. ill be sure to tell them to keep up the good work vanning neets instead of going after (((people))) that have offshore accounts in panama before i die of laughter.

>>20745701
wow somebody sent you 1 cent? save it maybe one day it will turn into 3 cent

>>20746409
$0.58 to be exact. I don't even want it but I'm afraid to do anything with it.

>>20746448
well its yours so spend it- buy yourself a single cigarette or a low cost energy drink- i wish somebody would dust me

>Dusting on Ethereum

Stop panicking you tards, this does absolutely squat shit. The only thing "dusting" does is that it can help you find out which addresses might belong to a single user, rather than being unconnected. Big fucking deal. And even that trick only works on Bitcoin, not on Ethereum. I bet you guys even use the same Ethereum address for holding and transfering most of your tokens (I certainly do), so there's nothing to "find out" anyway.

I have literally nothing to hide but this still annoys tf out of me

>>20747045
Same. I feel like my wallet is dirty. Now I have to switch to a different address when I do shit.

>>20747752
Lmao

>>20747752
You can probably just send it to the burn address

>>20747947
Wouldn't moving the Hex coin tip them off?

Why tf am I subject to a dust? Never broken a law besides jaywalking and smoking pot. Don’t even have prejudiced beliefs, yet here I am with a fucking marked wallet.

>>20747994
Possibly yes. I suppose they look for recent transactions of 101 hex to find active wallets but I'm not sure.

>>20748222
Are you holding AMPL?

>>20748222
Seems like it's targeted at ampl holders

>>20748260

>>20745701
What’s the common variable between our wallets that was their criteria for marking?

I own LINK and AMPL.

>>20748299
I own only LINK and AMPL too

>>20748315
>>20748299
Same.

>>20748315
>>20748332
>mfw have a tainted address but the fact someone marked it with HEX is bullish for one of my holdings

>>20748299

Did anybody who doesnt own link and ampl get it?

Wtf does this mean?

>>20748299
I got it in a wallet that only holds ampl. Look at etherscan. It was sent to ampl holders

>>20748384
My wallet only had Ampl in it (I keep LINK on a different one, no Hex in there)
Must be targeting recent AMPL investors.

>>20748428
>>20748410
>>20748388
Getting dusted on holding a small amount of AMPL (like myself) seems pretty bullish to me despite the annoyance of being dusted in the first place. Sweet and sour rn

>>20748497
What do we do going forward with this hex garbage

what the fuck is going on with HEX these days?

>>20748617
Really unsure. In my extremely limited opinion, it could be new market makers using the 101 HEX to track Txs from early investors and one of the pre-chosen winners of crypto. People act like governments are somehow in the dark when in reality they’ve subsidized and/or helped create many of the projects. The HEX could simply be market research — “how do people use currency within this economic framework?” Given its based off a Nobel prize economist, I wouldn’t be surprised. Ultimately, it’s too hard to tell whether it’s benign market research or malicious tracking, so for now I’m doing nothing at all with it.

>>20748654
Check the chart

>>20748775
Meant to point out that they could be using HEX to track early AMPL investors.
>inb4 why wouldn’t they just track AMPL?? Hint: think Tx rate

>>20748815
You think the IRS is using HEX to track wallets with AMPL?

>>20748379
Definitely bullish. Holding.

they paid 44$ fee to send you that shit lol

>>20749335
Send me and a fuckton other people.

So if I bought more HEX and say in a month sold it gradually, would that completely fuck up the scam? Or are the 101 tokens kinda like marked bills?

>>20749530
Really just depends. I think it would be foolish to call it one direction as opposed to another. But hey I’m just a guy on the internet.

>>20746130
I got the same exact thing. I was shocked to see that somebody spent 44 dollars to send me 89 cents

>>20749646
run

>>20749646
>>20749335
How did gas fees cost that much? Any pics to prove that expense per Tx?

What's scary is so many of these wallets appear empty save for bits of ampl and now the hex coins.

>>20749753
I literally just took a screen shot and then decided against posting it lol this shit is low risk but still nothing to gain. So fuck it. For all I know my uploaded screenshot might be traceable. I'm stupid so I follow my gut desu

>>20749810
WTF DOES THIS MEAN

>>20749740
Run where bro? I bought thru coinbase and this hex was sent to my coinbase wallet. I would like to add that coinbase wallet app is very annoying. It asks me to backup my wallet with them. Like wtf. I have it on paper. I don't want to trust you with it coinbase. Wtf. Fuck off. They keep promoting me to backup every time I open the app

Bitch I got that XMR

>Paying 44$ to send 0.5$ worth of dust
Reeks of government incompetency. No way a hacker/scammer using his own funds would make such an exchange several tens of times

>>20750057
Exactly. Wtf bro. It's like they want to dox anyone who has more than just lunch money in a private wallet

FUUUCK AMPLEBROS IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. THE IRS IS COMING FOR US AAAAAAAAAAAAA

This happens sometimes although I'm not sure the intent (I think it's more akin to advertising than trying to reveal personal info). I think Minecoin did this a while back too.

Ironically Hex is the most transparent project in crypto today. So DYOR wisely.

>>20750178
If it is the IRS, wtf do we do? I highly doubt it is tho, do they have the intelligence to do this?

>>20748299
Same here. LINK and AMPL are the only two tokens I hold in the wallet that got dusted.

Around 20k in gas prices for that HEX. Great job.

>>20750422
never doubt the jews after your money

>>20750178
As of right now, they won’t tax you if you don’t cash out. Crypto to crypto is taxable, as is a traditional cash out. Just never sell and you’re fine

Bitch I got dat HEX

>>20750788
Checked and reminded

If I move all my coins off the specific wallet address that got the Hex tokens, can I then nuke that wallet or do I have to look at it anytime I wanna go through my Trezor's addresses?

>>20745701

As if the people that dusted you weren’t monitoring this thread

Hex-t2 is convertable to Axion at 1:1 in roughly 40 days... as is Hex
https://axion.network/
dont say I never dig for ya'll...
Maybe some crazy marketing...
Who knows///
But Axion is where my digg ended up.
Thoughts?

Wtf is dusted? Why would the government do it and why would they use hex?

t. Not a burger

>>20751234
Is Tx rate/# of holders is super low in the future (just as it is now) the it would be very easy to track. I’m not positive this is the idea, but it seems reasonable, no?

what tracking capability does a dust attack enable in addition to having access to a pseudonymous completely public ledger.
protip: none

>>20751401
dumb bitch research dust attacks for 5 minutes

Yo, AMPL owner here too, got the same shit. But as *not* an American, I doubt its the IRS hahah

>>20748617
DO NOTHING

>>20748982
LOL we're all gonna get fucked by the IRS

>>20751464
Now I know it's the IRS.

https://youtu.be/_dPkAxRwvew

>>20751903
Thank you anon

>>20751854
>Incurs 500$ in rebasing taxes

>>20749810
that's exactly what my wallet looks like
what are they doing?

I still don't understand, what does it mean that they do it in order to track you? If they already got your address, why not just look the etherscan transaction history?

>>20752402
I don't get it either.

>>20748299
same

>>20749646
>I was shocked to see that somebody spent 44 dollars to send me 89 cents
>>20749753
>>20749879

Lmao oh good, then it's probably less of a dust attack and more of someone's hijacked an exchange and is ransoming them with nuclear gas prices

That happened recently, hackers got control of some exchange, they couldn't steal the funds pool but by God they could crank the gwei up to 3,000,000 and burn it until the owners paid a ransom

>>20752402
>>20752837
>>20753383

They're looking to identify multiple wallets that are owned by a single user. Ones that move together can be reasonably inferred to be owned by a guy. That sort of knowledge aids a jerk in creating a bespoke phishing attack.

>dear goyim, your wallets with addresses X, Y, Z, etc are at risk of being hacked!
>please enter the seed phrase for each one into this totally real and official dialog box to protect it
>somehow
>heh heh heh

>>20753408
Is that literally all they can do? The video made it seem like if I moved the hex, in a few weeks people would murder my dog and not in the ATF way.

>>20751854

I plan to pay my taxes anyway like a good goyim tho

>>20753652

As far as I know. I can't see any other point

>>20753662
I never understood what people are thinking when they don't want to pay taxes. How else will you get that money clean and investable? Is rather part my taxes and then have the rest of my money super clean and ready to work 365 24/7 International etc. I'm a small fish but seriously if I ever make it then it would be stupid to remain poor on paper. Nowadays the working class can't even get a car loan. Having clean money in the bank is so useful unless you just wanna eat hot dogs and watch Netflix forever

I got hexed 2 days ago, is this some glownigger US gov shit, or bad actors trying to find the new whales when this goes BTC 2.0?

>>20754131

Trying to identify whales who are trying to disguise themselves as a school of minnows I guess

>>20754050

There's a certain righteous anger at earning money, paying taxes on it, then taking what you have left after taxes and risking it on an investment, and then if you risk wisely here comes the government again for another piece. They don't come around with a check if you lose.

That said, the whole reason they can take those taxes is because if you follow any law to its logical end, there's a man with a gun who will shoot you if you don't comply. So hire a good accountant and pay what he says to pay.

>>20754254
Very smart answer. Everyone should do what is in their best interest. For me and the lane that I am in my choice is clear. I don't claim to know what is right for anyone else. But I do agree that I hate how stupid Americans are. As an immigrant even I can see that taxation in this country has reached a point where it feels like a mutant mosquito has been sucking on your blood since he was the size of a eyelash and now with you on your last legs, starting down retirement or recovering from an accident etc etc that mosquito is still sucking your blood only now this greedy motherfucker is the size of a tree and your basically anemic. Still you have to pay up. That is what unconditional rigid property taxes feel like to me honestly.

We are all fucking dead.

how long before ampl hits 100b MC and mossad agents are torturing me for my keys to get my ampies?

>>20754482

They're probably on their way to your house right now

I went through the transactions funding the wallet that sent the Hex and at the end of the line I ended up at this thing called Fcoin. Looks chinese.

https://www.fcoin.com/

What do I do with the tokens?
Is there anything else I should do?

>>20755355
share them with all your wallets

>>20755629
So, absolutely nothing?
