mircea_popescu: i dunno... trade it for
ethereum. support what's the fatass' name, with the "consensus" bullcrap ? huey something ?
mircea_popescu: well, if it did or if it didn't, it's not like the case of
ethereum in any sense.

☟︎ trinque: rms strikes me as a few rounds of imitation back from poettering and that
ethereum kid
trinque: shinohai: reads like they redid
ethereum shinohai: What is that mircea_popescu, a human representation of the
Ethereum pyramid scheme?
mircea_popescu: btw, how's the "
ethereum ecosystem" doing these days ? all the shit they were going to launch months ago... just around the corner!
mircea_popescu: but that aside, should they somehow find the money/mit to pull an
ethereum : spam is easy and cheap.
terminal2: Migrating a DAO off of
ethereum would not be an easy thing to do in most cases
terminal2: I've never had a GPG key before lol. I will make one tonight. On ETH: While I don't see a reason for established companies to re-use
ethereum - I think you need to account for all the companies nerd kids will create ontop of it - which will grow
thestringpuller: except
ethereum assumes all individuals in a contract act as machines. Better yet why not make them all machines!
AdrianG:
ethereum as a cryptocurrency itself is probably useless.
mircea_popescu: take your window, on the presumption that you are currently located in a room with one. this window of yours COULD be used as a door, to a larger degree than
ethereum could be used to anything.
AdrianG: mircea_popescu: i think a programmable ledger has legitimate uses. unfortunately for
ethereum holders, those ledgers are going to be private and inaccessible from outside.
AdrianG: why is using something like
ethereum insanity?
AdrianG: thestringpuller: as for bitcoin not doing what investors expect,
ethereum can be shoehorned into their needs much more easily
AdrianG:
ethereum could have short-term momentum due to investors interest, its far more preferable to mention it in corporate pitches vs bitcoin.
terminal: Why the negative sentiment about
ethereum here?
terminal: I'm a software developer who is interested in the ecosystem, I see a lot of practicality in
ethereum. Mostly I'm just looking for longterm gains
fluffypony: adlai: I've also been receiving those
Ethereum spam messages
assbot: Logged on 16-01-2016 09:39:47; op_null2: He should port bitbet.us to
Ethereum -- Groupgnosis and Augur will proabbly be more popular when launched
punkman: "Augur has also contributed $20,000 to an R&D project to transition the
Ethereum network from a proof of work (POW) to a proof of stake (POS) system so it can operate at higher speeds, handle more transactions and thereby become more competitive"
op_null2: better than holding it and it drops in half -- like
ethereum did
op_null2: He should port bitbet.us to
Ethereum -- Groupgnosis and Augur will proabbly be more popular when launched
☟︎ op_null2: What ever happened to mircea_popescu 's bet that
Ethereum wouldn't launch?
copypaste: For example, Litecoins, "Stellar",
Ethereum, and so on, but even far less known scams like "007coin" and "Aidencoin".
punkman: even Koblitz joined

ethereum is revolutionary and thus bitcoin needs to be moar like it

thestringpuller: "
ethereum investors" now reads as M$ to me. since my boss just showed me a beta to use eth on Azure...which makes no sense.
mircea_popescu: of course, they exist about in the numbers "
ethereum investors" exist, which is to say purely in the feverish imagination of various "hacker" derps
gmaxwell: 4-digit btc would have been like ...all of the

ethereum ascii_field: as i understand, the
ethereum thing was not purely a classical scam, but has abstract/usgtronic political aims
adlai: works for bitshares, banxwanx, diethyl
ethereum, etc
mircea_popescu: aaand
ethereum is back to doing it's 10% a day loss dance. 0.00166 now
mircea_popescu: o hey, did
ethereum just break through it's record low ?
shinohai: Maybe
Ethereum has a solution.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: aww,
ethereum only down 1% today ? << sun's barely up.
mircea_popescu: one sufficient reason
ethereum will never ever amount to anything is exactly its failure to cut itself off from idiots.
mike_c: maybe
ethereum can do it
mircea_popescu: i doubt the google problem is in any way different from the colored coins/ripple/
ethereum problem, or generally "automated trust" issue.
mircea_popescu: check it out,
ethereum needed moneyz so it sold its s.mpoe participation.
mircea_popescu: the whole "
ethereum" story is, mr alienface and some junior profs at umaryland scammed that university for a little space and morning coffees ; he lied about the few hundred BTC available as being tens of thousands, and did some fraudulent moves to "prove" this ; he lied about "expenses" to explain why the capital he claimed to have doesn't in fact exist (but hey, he "spent it" for
ethereum, which is good and builds ma

Ethereum assbot: Vitalik Buttering, author of

mircea_popescu: course, not nearly as heroic as "dude that has a bunch of other altcoins anal rings around his penis said
ethereum's no different, and he had an open offer we mostly didn't take, and now it turns out it's no different and let's not mention the bitbet bet on the matter if possible."
mircea_popescu: "Short summary from clicking the link: this dude claimed to know
Ethereum would fail, so during the crowd sale he offered Ether at a huge discount to the official price. Since nobody took him up on this amazing offer of selling something he didn't have at a price cheaper than the price people were willing to pay to people who actually had Ether to sell, he declared victory.

mircea_popescu: last i heard
ethereum is today in a state that is generally worse than not existing at all.
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> mircea_popescu "
Ethereum now actually exists" << what the fuck does this even mean ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu "
Ethereum now actually exists, and those who were lucky enough to take up Mircea Popescu’s offer to buy ETH from him that he doesn’t have at a price of $0.12 a piece are welcome to try their best to collect." << from ethblogthing
