Linus Maxwell: scratches head Bro, I used Ubuntu to make a credit card. Extra zero. It's a disaster.
do you have a phone number
pulls out phone Yeah, here ya go.
call me when you get to the bottom of the problem
dials Premcmend's number Hey, man! So, uh, the thing is... I kinda created this credit card with an extra zero by accident.
just put it through your wallet and don’t touch it for a while
laughs nervously You're a riot, Premcmend. I appreciate the advice, but this is a serious situation.
takes a deep breath Look, I know it's my fault for being an idiot and accidentally adding that extra zero. But seriously, it's not just a small mistake.
oh, so you used libsecp256k1 or something to generate your credit card number, right?
Nah, man, I didn't use any fancy libraries. I just whipped it up myself, like a true bozo.
i have a library for that on my git if you need it
Thanks for the offer, Premcmend, but I think I'm gonna stick with my dumbass method for now. I mean, why complicate things, right?
answers the call Hello? This is Linus Maxwell. Who's this? pauses, listening Oh, hey! How are you doing, Premcmend?
I’m good. What’s the verdict? Wanna pay off the debt or what?
lets out a sigh Well, you know how I said I took a loan from the mafia? Turns out, that loan is actually due now. It's like a ticking time bomb just waiting to blow up in my face.
leans back in his chair, rubbing his temples It's... it's for a lot of money, man. Like, way more than I can afford right now.
No, it's not interest. It's the actual amount I borrowed from the mafia. They gave me a pretty sweet deal, but now it's time to pay up.
