gregorynyssa: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-10-22#1023458 << I appreciate your reply. the uncapped money-supply did strike me as a bit strange.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-10-22 12:02:36 asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: the technical details of the flimflammery could fill a hefty book. all sorts of wonders, from the uncapped monetary base, to the jawdroppingly-complicated and porous 'smart' instruction set, to... i've no intention of writing the book.
gregorynyssa: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-10-22#1023461 << this allegation of smart contracts being a clever device meant to complexify the concept of ownership (with an eye toward discrediting BTC in the long run) is interesting and merits some further investigation.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-10-22 12:07:27 asciilifeform: they were/are simply an instrument of the 'shell game' built into ethereum. primarily to complicate the matter of answering q's e.g. 'how much coin is there?' 'to whom does this-here coin belong?' but also to help in organizing 'jam tomorrow' mechanized chumpatrons of all types.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-10-22 12:08:48 asciilifeform: the use of the term 'contract', which traditionally refers to written agreements b/w ~people~ , to refer to entirely mechanical system, is also a (deliberate) abuse.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-10-22 09:36:49 thimbronion: gregorynyssa: have you read http://trilema.com/2012/gpg-contracts/?
gregorynyssa: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-10-22#1023455 << the way they handled the DAO theft was obviously incorrect. I supported the unforked chain (which adopted the name Ethereum Classic) for a time, but its advocates were not well organized.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-10-22 09:42:43 thimbronion: gregorynyssa: also surely there was some discussion of the dao hack and the reprecussions. Nothing fundamentally has changed about ETH since that particular smart contract was violated.
asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: plenty of material re subj in the old #t logs.
