hey, if there are going to be score changes, will you also be changing my score?
the sponsor basically confirmed the finding: ⁠Code4rena⁠

will get back to you
in an hour
ladboy233 — Today at 1:47 PM
yeah I think I will only change your medium finding from 10 to 11，such change will not change your first place ranking and the report is public so your second oracle related finding is a known issue anyway
👍
IllIllI — Today at 1:47 PM
ok, so even including the other changes to other people's scores, nobody new changes into A rank?
since nobody else would be gaining 8 points, I believe 
and I believe one of the current As will be downgraded to B
IllIllI — Today at 2:02 PM
I did put in the work to find and write the rule, so if you agree it's valid, I should get credit for it, and shouldn't get penalized if others are negatively affected by it
ladboy233 — Today at 2:04 PM
checkinggggg
ladboy233 — Today at 2:23 PM
I did not expect changing the top best score and change everything
IllIllI — Today at 2:23 PM
lol

Judge making decisions based on payout is called corruption

🤔
Let me briefly explain the pricing of each vault's collateral. It is done through the getAssetPrice() function, which retrieves the USD price of the respective LST. The internal logic of the function involves using the LUSD oracle to fetch the ETH-USD price, and then using the ETH exchange rate provided by each LST contract to calculate the price of each LST.
IllIllI — Today at 2:37 PM
I'm pretty sure if you ask the sponsor they'll agree it's a high
ladboy233 — Today at 2:37 PM
  function getAssetPrice() public override returns (uint256) {
        return (_etherPrice() * IWstETH(address(collateralAsset)).stEthPerToken()) / 1e18;
    }
ladboy233 — Today at 2:37 PM
Yeah I am asking
IllIllI — Today at 2:37 PM
shall we just ask them?
k
if they say it's a high and not a med, I hope you take that into account as well
ladboy233 — Today at 2:38 PM
I think this is exactly what the sponsor's described
"Fetch the ETH-USD price"
is
_etherPrice()
IllIllI — Today at 2:39 PM
yes
ladboy233 — Today at 2:39 PM
and then using the ETH exchange rate provided by each LST contract to calculate the price of each LST.
IllIllI — Today at 2:39 PM
and stEthPerToken() is stEth, not Eth
ladboy233 — Today at 2:41 PM
IWstETH(address(collateralAsset)).stEthPerToken()) 
IllIllI — Today at 2:41 PM
stEth per wstEth
https://docs.lido.fi/contracts/wsteth/#stethpertoken Returns the amount of wstETH tokens corresponding to one stETH
that's why I was surprised when you didn't count it
do you agree it's a high now?
ladboy233 — Today at 2:51 PM
I am just looking into
IWBETH(address(collateralAsset)).exchangeRatio()
what is the exchange ratio one of this
IllIllI — Today at 2:52 PM
not sure what that has to do with my finding
in general, we go by what's available in the time alloted, and it sounds like you agree that on the face of it, the finding is valid
I can wait for you to find all of the answers that you're looking for, but the fact is, they're using the wrong exchange rate

there were 109% lolll
ladboy233 — Today at 3:05 PM
I agree, there can be false positive as well
I think the only two change I make will be giving you the medium points of the oracle finding + bump the "hound", NC score
IllIllI — Today at 3:06 PM
sock indicated that there shouldn't have been a cutoff for that one: ⁠Code4rena⁠
ladboy233 — Today at 3:06 PM
emmm
IllIllI — Today at 3:06 PM
why is it not a high?
I submitted it as a high, and the evidence says high
you're essentially saying the work I did is not worth its worth, just because others didn't do as well as I did 
that's not how bot races are supposed to work
ladboy233 — Today at 3:13 PM
don't think there are sufficient evidence to make it as a high finding,

yeap this is an going discussion
Agree there are a lot of room for standardization 🙂
IllIllI — Today at 3:14 PM
so you're not downgrading anyone, even though you agree that my finding is at least a medium?
ladboy233 — Today at 3:18 PM
I think the goal of the bot racing is to find the best report with highest number of the known issue, which I already did, in terms of the fairly evaluating and reward every issue and standardized, this is an going process, emm I will raise a points about this later in the judging channel later and the issue 103 thread later.
