Lol, the relevant bit from the article -
Nomad’s developers had accidentally pushed a routine update that told the protocol to process any transaction with the default root hash of “0x00,” where blockchain networks typically require a specific, unique root as proof that the transaction is valid.
On a different matter - I normally use my personal mail server, where I’ve stood up all the bits and pieces and feel much better than I do with google, and yea of course my shit is running on various VM providers (or hosted at work - depends on current job situation)…. Anyway, I don’t use AWS or GCP, and that also makes me feel a tiny fucking bit better. I realize it’s mostly an illusion of separation but all the same… in any case, servers are down while I rearchitect everything. Joined cp with one of my gmail accounts for now. Dipping my toe in the list - seems pretty fucking toxic, ya?
Cheers,
