This Floki Inu copy turns out to be a possible honeypot scam

 


According to a warning from blockchain security firm PeckShield, Snowflake Floki, a copy of the meme coin Floki Inu, is a honeypot scam.

Snowflake Floki a Scam?

The blockchain security firm PeckShield issued a warning against the meme coin copy Snowflake Floki. According to the company, this project is a honeypot scam.

“ #SCAM PeckShield noticed that @snowflakefloki is a #Honeypot! Selling is disabled. People are constantly caught up in buying. Stay * AWAY * from it! ”

As the name suggests, a honeypot entices users to buy tokens while the ability to sell them is disabled. Buyers' money is effectively stuck in the contract as all withdrawals are segregated. Typically, scams blacklist all other wallets except your own.

This type of scam is not new. Ethereum users have been dealing with honeypots for years. Since the Binance Smart Chain is a lot cheaper for issuing tokens, such scams are accumulating in the popular Smart Contract Blockchain.

Snowflake Floki went live on Monday on PancakeSwap, a decentralized platform powered by the Binance Smart Chain. However, it was immediately clear to some followers what was going on. There's now an easy way to spot honeypots, albeit not a hundred percent fail-safe. A honeypot detector simulates a buy and sell transaction. This is how it can be determined whether a particular cryptocurrency project is a scam or not.

In late October, a token inspired by Squid Game, Netflix's hit survival drama series, hit the headlines after its price shot up a whopping 40,000% in a very short period of time. There was a catch, however. Buyers were unable to sell the token due to the built-in anti-dump mechanism that played the key role in inflating the token price. As expected, this token was a scam that eased buyers by millions.

Many bad players also try to capitalize on legitimate meme coins such as Floki Inu and Shiba Inu.

  According to one analyst, Bitcoin is behaving the same overall this year as it has in previous cycles. Bitcoin ( BTC ) will have “at least one more boost higher” before hitting all-time highs this halving cycle, analysts are currently saying. The well-known analyst TechDev has spoken on Twitter about the current state of BTC and said that contrary to many opinions, nothing unusual has happened in BTC/USD in 2022. Bitcoin in 2021: Nothing to see here Sentiment has also taken a hit, falling 40 percent from November's all-time high of $69,000. There is still “extreme fear” in the bitcoin and altcoin market. TechDev, known for his bullish views on Bitcoin, sees no reason to worry.

Back then, the number of new addresses made lower highs while the price made higher highs. "In 4 of the 6 corrections, there was divergence with price ma...

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...
