As @realBitcoinDog would say GRAYRUBY is a stupid stupid man.
Signed up for the Satoshi Sharps NFL Survivor pool. The group chat is on telegram which I have never used. I downloaded the app and signed up with my phone number. I of course used my standard grayruby user name.
I get a message this morning "Hey boss" and immediately thought "what is this? Is this someone from the football pool chat trying to direct message me?".
Nope. Someone who used to work for me. Apparently I was discoverable on telegram to any of my phone contacts who also use telegram. Womp Womp.
I found and changed the setting but I may need to kill my former employee now. Just kidding (maybe).
Stay vigilant stackers. Don't be a stupid stupid man like GRAYRUBY.
Sats for all, GR
Yup I doxx myself all the time. It happens to the best of us. If you come to TABCONF this year I will be doxxed in IRL.
But another reason why I hate telegram. Telegram is the reason I got scammed.

It's ok. He is a cool guy. It's my fault, I didn't check the settings but I was surprised that telegram which is supposed to be privacy focused defaults to discoverable.

It’s definitely way too easy to mess it up IMO

If you need any help from Indian dakus, I may arrange some.

And to make matters worse, Telegram sends a notification to all your mobile contacts that you've joined Telegram, as if to say:
HEY, come check it out, this boy joined Telegram...!!!

It's not easy to get guns in our country, but if you need sharp knives or need to sharpen your knives for a clean cut, hit me up. I'm pretty good at sharpening.

yeah, never give Telegram access to your contacts and hide your phone number in settings.

Yeah. My mistake.

Sorry man. Thats sucks. At least it’s someone you know and (presumably) trust. :(
