[10:17:56] <inz> FP, mining cryptocoins much?
[10:49:10] <FatPhil> never have, never tempted to, probably never will.
[10:50:21] <FatPhil> Have you seen 'Line Goes Up'?
[10:50:43] <FatPhil> It's over 2 hours, but it's packed full of good stuff.
[10:51:09] <FatPhil> Gets a bit too into specific examples of NFT idiocy towards the end, which can drag a little.
[10:52:04] <FatPhil> I'd rather he pulled back a few thousand kilometers and did an overview of the whole NFT space. It's more useful to show that there are 9999 scams than to get into the details of why just a few of them were scams.

[10:56:36] <inz> FP, "greed energy" just sounded like cryptocoin
[10:56:46] <inz> Haven't seen, gotta check if I gots some time.
[10:58:18] <inz> My only touch to the pyramidcoins is that I joined coinbase at some point, and got 5 [$€] worth of bitcoin, which I later sold for ~500 [$€]

[15:14:04] <FatPhil> I managed to get that story to load in a newer browser (FF98?), and her front page, but kept getting blocked when I tried others. Fortunately, she's a loon, and nothing she says is of any use to man nor beast.
[15:15:53] <Runaway1956> Well, NFTs are looney nonsense from the git-go, so I can't argue that the author is a loon.

[15:37:14] <Runaway1956> Timing is everything. I just ordered a 1 gallon stainless steel insulated water jug. Dear wife walks in the house, and hands me a 1 quart stainless steel insulated water jug.
[15:37:48] <Runaway1956> That will give my 1 gallon jug a little less value - but it will last for days, instead of hours.
[16:01:25] <FatPhil> Does the jug have an app?
[16:01:34] <FatPhil> How will you know when it's empty and needs refilling?
[16:02:11] <FatPhil> Because everything needs an app. That's the two-thousand-twenty-two-truth.
