xmrmatterbridge

You need an Ethereum wallet to use OpenSea.

oh well that sucks, how will they ever get new users. it wont even display them for you? anyway its a page selling nonsense "tokenized wine"
-
pigeons
The people running the registry are
wiv.io but there isn't anything novel
-
xmrmatterbridge
<midipoet> pigeons: that book sounds v.interesting. thanks. Not so sure about the wiv stuff though, I prefer the off-licence. Maybe that's just me though ;-)

xmrscott[m]
infinitejest-: What's the planned URL?
-
fluffypony
invisiblewine.com ?
-
xmrscott[m]
midipoet: From what I've heard from coworkers who go to China to do training etc, counterfeit wine is a crazy huge issue in China, so one of the best gifts you can bring someone is arguably real wine. Not sure about other countries
-
xmrmatterbridge
<midipoet> I suppose any sommelier worth their salt could tell the difference between a real and counterfeit wine. Nor sure about Joe Soap though
-
xmrmatterbridge
<midipoet> I mean some of the blended wines taste pretty good to me
-
hyc
anybody can print a label and slap it onto a bottle. what's the point of tokenizing wine?
-
xmrmatterbridge
<midipoet> see I knew it. hyc is the mastermind of this counterfeit effort
-
hyc
yes, I buy 1euro bottles of tablewine from local markets in France and sell them for 100euro overseas. it's not really counterfeiting 'cuz it's real French wine.

<midipoet> I have the image of you driving a van over and back from your homestead, fiddle on the passenger seat, and boxes in the back

hyc
lol

infinitejest-
midipoet: I admit I can't make it perfectly trustless. It is however certified on the bottle as per italian regulations
-
xmrscott[m]
infinitejest-: Can you confirm
invisiblewine.com is the webpage the future purchases will go up on?
-
infinitejest-
hah no, I will reveal the URL when I'm ready. right now the logistics world has changed, waiting on updated prices and regulations
