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.
It is completely different than Bitcoin. The ethereum blockchain uses gas as a reward in ether which is just the processing power required to validate transactions. However all the coins are simply minted through the smart contract.
FUk ...yes ... gas. I remember that now. I haven't been deep in the space since those fucks at Binance.com locked me out of my account, would never accept my 'jpg' proving I was me (too pixelated, to large, to small ... blah blah fucking blah) and stole about 50000 RVN from me. Muther fuckers.
Sorry ... thanks for the education Fren.
They did the exact same s*** to me when they started banning US customers. I was a RVN miner till they screwed me over.
