I keep getting offers from randos offering to setup various crypto currency things to sponsor me or curl.

@cutekita @bagder

I'm sure that when I'd google "curlcoin" right now that not just one people tried to push a scam coin with that name already...

[brotherpsyche@mastodon.social]

@bagder lol he said hard no to weinercoin

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@bagder

i suppose you could be flattered that folks see curl as a possible avenue to launder money via crypto?

[bagder@mastodon.social]

@paul_ipv6 being identified as a possible gullible person to help them run a con is not what I would consider flattery

[schnedan@social.tchncs.de]

@bagder but there is a command line option to mine bitcoins, right?

[jumblies@mastodon.social]

@bagder Matt Levine went through this recently. Someone set up a coin in gastowns name with no association with the creator.

[jamoquanty@mastodon.social]

@bagder Is that a not quite specific enough wish gone wrong kinda thing?

[gh0stlym0use@mastodon.social]

@bagder when im not destitute, you are one of the foss humans im giving a large sum of money to. Thank you for the time you put into Curl.

@bagder curl is so hacker that the authors anonymity must be protected at all costs and to continue their awesome work, you clearly need a crypto thing that pays the bills.

@bagder and I, at least, respect you all the more for it
