i grew up with a one lb bottle of liquid ether in my chemistry lab. tru story. << do
I dare ask what you did with said ether?
ThickAsThieves: ohnoes coindesk commenter has burned me: "
I wish
i could see your stupid face in about 10 years when almost every interaction you have with an electronic device relies on a decentralized blockchain.. "we don't need smart contracts" haha are you for real!? "
rithm:
i don't seeing having the value bitcoin has
mircea_popescu: here
i am, by my lonesome, trying to keep some semblance of discipline,
rithm: do
i understand that correctly?
mircea_popescu: pigeons
i grew up with a one lb bottle of liquid ether in my chemistry lab. tru story.
pigeons:
i had some esther or something the other day, it wasnt ether but it worked in the same manner
pigeons: that's why
i was thinking an mpex listing would be nice, people could trade it
ThickAsThieves: from what
i read, the ETH is in total lockdown til it's released
pigeons: is there a built-in mechanism for these suckers,
i mean people to trade their ether before/if the production network ever comes out?
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves
i was chuckling at the buttcoin treatment earlier, "let's look at things from the position that popularity matters and then get all aggitated when nothing makes sense".
mircea_popescu: pigeons: hey mircea_popescu
I havent followed, but
i saw you are selling eth foward contract or similar.
I wanted to suggest putting something similar on mpex,
i think that would do well <<
i asked, people lol'd. which is why it's in otc.
mircea_popescu: after 8 years of "we can do it" and "change nao"
i doubt you can find any broad group that's of the oppinion things can continue as they are.
pankkake:
I think you can do it already with blockchain.info too
rithm:
i know so
i'm not sure what it accomplishes other than intel gathering and noob convenience
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves:
i think the best part about the offer is it's potential to disrupt the live offering << no, the best part is pulling the rug from under the scammer's feet quite unexplectedly.
BingoBoingo: benkay> <mircea_popescu> <pankkake> well, he has the private key, but
I have it too. not smart :p << omg BingoBoingo WHAT HAVE YOU DUN NAO // yeah,
i'm also curious as to what's going on here << OMG Opsec fail
mircea_popescu: mthreat they're printing like crazy for sure, tho. usually
i get ~40% new bills, but the last few buys
i got 80-100% new bills.
chetty:
I am thinking fake bills are a myth
mircea_popescu: pankkake: and in multiple bitcoin clients <<
i never bothered to get a client myself so there's that.
mthreat: ya,
i usually get under the top "blue rate", but my cueva hasn't given me fake money
mthreat: chetty, mircea_popescu
I got 12.2 pesos per USD 2 hours ago
mircea_popescu: nubbins`:"
i live in a place with stylish young people, independent women, and those who care about our natural environment. it's a real drag." <<
i can see it.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: mthreat: do yourself a favor and stop drinking charbucks << talking to ex-us-mil guy, "
i'll tell you what starbucks is. back in the force, they'd make these largish tanks of coffee at the crack of down, keep them on reheat, throw them out at night. starbucks is pretty much like a drink out of that tank right before it getting thrown out. which is why they put all the cream and crap into it : gotta try and mas
fluffypony: which, from what
I understand, is a fork that lets you just pick up the æthereum equivalent of your BTC balance
benkay:
i don't. it's a phenomenal waste of human capital.
thestringpuller: benkay:
i like how many companies are appearing that can just be subverted with the WoT.
benkay: danielpbarron: the little reading
i've done suggests that it's not a namecoin killer, as that'd require...studying existing solutions and then doing it better.
i've yet to find much support fot eh notion that the folks involved have done any research at all yet.
benkay:
i mean the kind of sociocultural upheaval that accompanied silicon and then the internet, and will eventually fall out of bitcoin, pankkake
bitcoinpete: well
i know that this is hirarious: "Big Trend Capital Investment (HASH): We are engaged as a distributor of mining products and a novel mining service. We primarily service retail customers through storefronts such as Amazon, EBay, and our own eStore at BuyAHash.com."
benkay: cept
i guess "there will never be another {silicon,internet,bitcoin}" doesn't push views
pankkake: and
I said it before you all, about all altcoins :)
benkay:
I WAS JUST SAYING THIS
bitcoinpete: and by vibrations
i mean tossing and turning
danielpbarron: bitcoinpete,
i already have a free app that does that sort of thing.. ended up deleting it because too many apps
bitcoinpete: "The app tells you how well you slept, or didn't, by giving you a unique Sleep Score each night. You can begin to correlate interruptions in your sleep to external conditions and disturbances. You can play back key sound disturbances via the app to say “Ah, the garbage truck broke my sleep cycle at 3am.
I didn’t even realize that.”
danielpbarron: weird al was the first artist
I ever bought a cd for;
I heard his parodies before the originals
lobbes: the problem
I have with weird al nowadays is that
I don't even know the songs he is parodying anymore
bitcoinpete: benkay: <mircea_popescu> mike_c stop opposing progress and an end to oppression. // hey have you guys heard about this ICBC auto insurance monopoly in BC? <<
i think only bc is socialist enough to do this
pigeons: hey mircea_popescu
I havent followed, but

i think that would do well
benkay: pankkake: yeah,
i know what you're saying. this discussion hearkens back to a thing a wise old man harps on about how if you can have the patience to see past the next 6 months to two years you can make trades the rest of the market won't consider because they want 17%/annum *now*
bitcoinpete: 8 months is 8 years for "
i wanna rich nao" ppl
ThickAsThieves:
i'd love for people to be buying from MP instead of the actual people
ThickAsThieves:
i think the best part about the offer is it's potential to disrupt the live offering
benkay: it's just the whole "
i missed btc, maybe this will make me rich" self delusion alllllllll over again.
benkay:
i guess a hedge against ether going somewhere isn't such a bad idea, but it totally fails the good investments criteria.
ThickAsThieves:
i'd say you could almost short it if you bought real ETH, sold off-market for slight discount, then repurchased from MP, but you'd still be betting only on the availble spread, if price dropped below MP's offer, your short would be fukt ... even then they tell you cant do anyhting with the ETH til genblock is made... soooo
ThickAsThieves: or,
i think bitcoinpete is cool so
i dont want to see him have errors in his shit
pankkake:
I think that's incorrect too. it allows you to get a better price if you're long, or MAYBE short it as long as you think it's won't go as low as 2.5x less
ThickAsThieves:
i still dont see how
I get to short ETH by entering MP's future offer
ThickAsThieves: bitcoinpete, unless
i need more coffee, mp isnt allowing people to short ETH, he's allowing them to long it
pankkake:
I gave the private key to MP at a time
I wasn't sure
I could even transfer the coins in a timely manner
benkay: <mircea_popescu> <pankkake> well, he has the private key, but
I have it too. not smart :p << omg BingoBoingo WHAT HAVE YOU DUN NAO // yeah,
i'm also curious as to what's going on here

mircea_popescu: mthreat
i've never paid more than about 25 or so for coffee myself, and never had a bad cup yet.
mthreat: mircea_popescu: because
i don't know good vs. bad coffee probably, and it's the 2nd closest after Cafe Martinez (probably worse)
mthreat: starbucks raised their prices in Buenos Aires again yesterday. Since December 2013, the coffee
I get has gone from 30 to 44 pesos
nubbins`: where
i come from, you're not cool unless your money is worth less today than it was yesterday
