mircea_popescu: answer :
ETHEREUM CAN NEVER REACH ZERO BECAUSE IT IS A TECHONOLOLOLOL
mircea_popescu: question : how many days of 15% straight drops does it need for

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but coming back to the issue, isn't "
ethereum the webthreezeroeum technologee" supposed to have scripted contracts or something to be the future of future moneys ?
pete_dushenski: so anyone crazy enough to have plunked down 150 btc on
ethereum's pre-sale would take home ~1`100 btc + whatever chunk of the bitbet they so desired before closing it out
mircea_popescu: anyway, the amusing thing if one actually reads the above linked thing is that the proponent of truthcoin objects that
ethereum bets won't work because they're not bitbet. which is a correct point, but leaves him in the lurch.
mircea_popescu: for instance : when i put 1 btc on the theory that
ethereum dies by the end of the year, i got liquidated 5:1 within hours.
assbot: Prepare yourselves for the assault on
Ethereum by certain hostile elements within bitcoin community. :

mircea_popescu: Codename Frontier, the initial live release of
Ethereum consist of Geth, the Command Line Interface written in Go, and nothing else. At the moment, Geth only includes a CPU miner, and the team is testing a GPU miner branch, but this won't be part of Frontier."
mircea_popescu: "At Frontier, the first release of
Ethereum, you'll just need a) a GPU and b) an
Ethereum client, Geth. CPU mining will be possible but too inefficient to hold any value.
mircea_popescu: "according to bitbet,
ethereum has two degrees of magnitude better odds at surviving 2015 than gavin's scamcoin."
mircea_popescu: same time frame, same substantial dispute (altcoin pretending importance). the gavin/hearn idiots have trouble going past 3:100 against them ;
ethereum is so far 3:1 or some shit.

mircea_popescu: she can pretend she's wymyn in tech, interested in
ethereum for glory.
mircea_popescu: "Taylor Gerring @TaylorGerring · Sep 17 Taylor Gerring retweeted Vitalik Buterin The benefit of #
Ethereum being defined by a spec, not an implementation "
mircea_popescu: ion and take another look at how the
Ethereum foundation interacts with the community.
mircea_popescu: "The foundation is currently in the phase of restructuring its communications activities. Several members of our current communications team in London are soon leaving or reducing their involvement in the Foundation in order to pursue for-profit ventures on top of the
Ethereum ecosystem; we wish them the best of luck. And so, we have both the necessity and a unique opportunity to “reboot” that side of the organizat
mircea_popescu:
https://www.ethereum.org/ << impressive they crossed out "safe". unimpressive they omit to mention "
ethereum is blablabla JUST LIKE RIPPLE" and "its perspectives are nil, JUST LIKE RIPPLE'S WERE".
punkman: "Ethercoin is a proof-of-stake blockchain with a fixed supply of coins provably backed by REAL ethers purchased from the

☟︎ punkman: ethercoin is an altcoin, not
ethereum assbot: Fuck! I just send all my ether to a new contract instead of to my brain wallet. Is there any way to reclaim it? :

mircea_popescu: o hey, apparently
ethereum had a "people can remotely take your eth from your wallet" bug sometime in late august ?
shinohai: He made a deal will the devil betting on
Ethereum anyway.
assbot: SECURITY ALERT: Bug in Go clients causing increase in difficulty. Mandatory update for miners asap; transacting users & exchanges unaffected :

shinohai: Because the last "young genius" we got out of
Ethereum was so talented, especially in the field of security.
mircea_popescu: <trinque> or if it did on some forkchain, who cares? that one will inflate << and for a while it will be "just as good as bitcoin" except "better", like all other scamcoins to date. like
ethereum, and next before it, and aurora coin before it, and solidcoin before it and so on.
BingoBoingo: If
ethereum ever entirely works as promised plan on x86 ring-0 exploits routinely becoming parts of "contracts"
mircea_popescu: wilbns so outright i see the following problem : you discuss
ethereum at the maximal outskirts of what its proponents presnet it as. this is not unlike taking a ponzi schemer's "idea" and pretending it would be a central bank, then discussing how "it regulates financial flows". rank nonsense.
wilbns: thinking about how 15 million in crowdfunding could get irradiated if not careful in determing market fit w/
ethereum cazalla: i am hoping
ethereum over takes litecoin in fake market cap just as its first halving occurs for extra lulz and butthurts
trinque: either way, if you anticipate
ethereum going the way of other altcoins (or worse, look at the complexity of the thing), he'll have to live with that on his name forever.
trinque:
ethereum and the fucking... you know what, nevermind.
wilbns:
ethereum vs manhattan project in a nutshell
wilbns: ...in the process of writing a post comparing
Ethereum to The Manhattan Project.
shinohai: Now the
ethereum project will steal that pic punkman and use it on their "cloud-mining" webpage.
shinohai: If you want to be an
Ethereum god, nows yer chance.
