Hello All,
Some of you may or may not know that I have extensive experience in blockchain technology, and run several businesses utilizing the technology... with and without smart contracts.
The ethereum address attached to the Q picture in McAfee's instagram... might be a scam attempt from one of his social media guys.
The reason I say this:
Every transaction on mainnet ethereum have been triggering the transfer function on a WHACK'D ERC20 token, sending back and forth with UniSwap... which is a decentralized exchange protocol. Meaning there is a very good chance whoever it is is just trying to earn easy free money off the news.
That being said... it's very weird, and if that address starts processing transactions with signed message data, or anything significant that I see, I will let you know.
But for right now, this looks like it could be the social media guy trying to make a quick buck.
For what it's worth. I don't believe McAfee is actually dead. Something weird is going on behind this, but that ethereum address I think is a bit of a distraction.
This makes the most sense. The WHACK'd token is just a scam.
One of countless many in the crypto space :D
I am with you. A guy thinks he is going to be taken out so he protects himself by getting a meaningless tattoo?
No, I think he used the post to trigger a production deploy of the whackd coin which triggers his deadmans switch.
Dude ... so I went to the WHACKD website. That whole thing ... Including the Token is completely insane. Then I found this article.
What the fuck is going on??? This thing burns at 10% per transaction. What would be the point of that?
Just saw his story on Fox News. It's getting traction. Even that fat fuck Cavuto said it seems suspicious.
McAfee may have been a little 'off' but he was also a genius. Sorry ... but that is a fact.
What does that mean, for us non-experts in blockchainamagigs?
Burns you say. 1 billion coins down to 829 million and falling.
It's a fuse?
Is there a way to know when the token was born, or genesis block I’m sure was created?

^ This is the exact transaction this WHACK'd token was created on Mainnet.
That being said, theres an older WHACK'd that this same address deployed a year ago. Might of been a test run... but generally tests are done on Testnet.
Wouldn't it make sense that this is an elaborate death hoax and the token was created to fund his existence post "death?"
