just an aside: the artist Simon Denny participates in this year's 9th
Berlin Biennial with a three-part installation; each part looks like (or
rather, is) a trade fare-style booth for a company that is in the
crypto-currency business (Ethereum, 21 Inc, and Digital Asset Holdings);
together with an Ex-GDR postage stamp designer, Denny also designed
ficticious stamps for these companies. I took a picture of Denny
explaining the Etherium set-up during the opening days, two weeks before
reality kicking in on Etherium. (In the background you can see part of
the equally utopian socialist wall decoration in the hall of the former
government building, Staatsratsgebäude, that faces the equally virtual
reconstruction site of the Prussian royal palace...)

dear nettimers,
following up the crypto-money craze on "Blockchains", the diva setup
of Ethereum we-will-run-the-computer-of-the-world (and you will all be
assimilated or obsoleted) left a big crater this morning (CET time)
