Due to a bug in the code, users of the Dutch auction of the NFT project AkuDreams lost 11,539 ETH
Due to a mistake by AkuDreams programmers, the Dutch auction of the NFT project ended with the loss of user funds. Over 11,539 ETH (~$33.93 million) were permanently locked in the smart contract.
“$34 million, or 11,539 ETH, is permanently locked in the AkuDreams smart contract. They cannot be retrieved by individual users or the project team,” wrote the developer under the nickname 0xfoobar.
At the end of the auction, the losing participants were supposed to withdraw their ETH, but due to an error in the contract logic, they cannot use the emergencyWithdraw() function responsible for withdrawing funds.
According to 0xfoobar, the project team is also unable to withdraw assets “because of incorrect increment math.”
The AkuDreams team confirmed the bug and stated that the incident was due to a “non-malicious exploit”. The founder of the NFT project Gangster All Star, 0xInuarashi, explained that “someone was able to break processRefunds() by placing a bet from a contract.”
To the credit of the site, the developers of AkuDreams promised that they would compensate for the losses of users (0.5 ETH for each victim). The refund will be made on Monday or Tuesday – for this, the reserve of the project treasury will be used.

Sony will not let you enjoy the old games to the fullest. PS3 projects within PS Plus will be released without add-ons

As part of the updated subscription service Sony PS Plus will be available, including projects for PS3. But due to the very specific architecture of the processor of this console, the games will be available in the cloud service.
And now it became known that such games, unfortunately, will not support add-ons. DLC may someday be added, but at first you definitely shouldn’t expect them.
For example, Asura’s Wrath, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Crash Commando, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and a number of other games received various kinds of add-ons at one time, for some projects there were a lot of such DLCs. But within the framework of PS Plus, it will not be possible to try them out. The source also publishes a list of PS3 games, but we published them a week ago, when Sony itself did this.
As a reminder, today we also learned that some classic games will work even worse on the new consoles than on the original PlayStation.
