Was deep in the weeds doing some accounting with @rotkiapp and couldn’t figure out why my ETH balances weren’t adding up

Dug into the history and boom! Pages of 2016 DAO whitehat activity. Turns out I was tracking the address I used back then to whitehat attack the DAO. Using mostly some really kind whale's money.

The whitehat hack flowed tons of ETH through attack contracts + the DAO itself. A nightmare for accounting since it looks like you're endlessly bleeding ETH. And ETH given to you from random whale addresses which you end up giving back later. Mixing that with own funds was not smart.

In the end, I had to ignore that address entirely to get sane numbers.

🐦 rotki lets you go that deep.

And damn what a flashback!
