We are now talking about sextortion at #AFT19. 
Turns out that more than half the audience has received a sextortion attempt!
No one admitted to paying. At least, not in public, surrounded by peers! 😀
The researchers measured what percentage of sextortion attempts lead to payment, and how much.

Currently listening to a very interesting paper that describes a fundamental problem with current DEXs that explains why they will offer worse execution compared to external, centralized markets.
Current DEXs rely on atomic swap primitives that have a time bound. This, in turn, enables one of the participants to see if the trade is developing in their favor during that time bound, and abort the swap.
In essence, Bob has been granted an option!

As a result, every trade on a current DEX involves an implicit option. You're not just paying for the asset, you are also paying for the implicit option, granted to one side because atomic swaps are asymmetric. This means that #DeFi DEXs will always offer worse prices to one side
