CryptoPunk #685 = accidentally burned
Someone accidentally burned the CryptoPunk they bought 2 weeks ago while trying to wrap it as ERC-721 🥲
In a tweet explaining how it happened, the holder asked Yuga Labs to let them buy the V1 version of CryptoPunk #685. This mistake ended up costing him a third of his net worth...
Scammer alert 🚨
THE SCAMS ARE GETTING RIDICULOUS.
On Tuesday, @zachxbt alerted the community about the resurfacing of well known scammer NFTMachine. The scam project had "The first man to ever turn Super Mario 64 into an NFT" in its bio before being removed 😬
Community alert: the scammer known as NFTMachine is back with a new project @arcade_dao which also appears to be blatant copyright infringement.
I would recommend avoiding it at all costs.
