lol. gotta love crypto. I realized I had about $50 of bitcoin hanging out somewhere, so I transferred it to coinbase to sell and turn into usd. I used an old address from coinbase's "gdax" exchange, which they merged into their new coinbase advanced. The money disappeared. Coinbase happily told me "sorry, that product is deprecated, the funds are lost on the blockchain." These are not serious people. Well that's fucking sleazy, but not surprising: #23andme just mailed out a "hey we're changing our ToS (to screw your ability to file a class-action lawsuit against us because of our breach) and if you don't do anything, YOU AGREE TO IT".. before actually notifying customers whether they're part of the 6.9 million breached accounts. (I have told them to soak their heads.)

@dave_andersen (copy/pasting this reply from another thread) The TOS also specifics to email arbitrationoptout@23andme.com where the notify us link is to their legal dept. @thomasfuchs has a good post and a template to send them https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/111531294441702837 Replying-to-self to amplify this from @omripresent : @thomasfuchs has a post with a template to send them: |

@dave_andersen When I see signs on Coinstar machines advertising, "turn your cash into crypto", all I can think is...
@dave_andersen It's insane that significant amounts of Crypto just get lost and will continue to get lost in an entirely irrecoverable way. I guess this is "deflationary"
@dave_andersen don't know the regulations out there, but in Poland you'd also have to pay tax for turning the nonexistent crypto into the nonexistent money ;)
