Hard Fork Completed
Posted by Vitalik Buterin on July 20th, 2016.

We would like to congratulate the Ethereum community on a successfully completed hard fork. Block 1920000 contained the execution of an irregular state change which transferred ~12 million ETH from the “Dark DAO” and “Whitehat DAO” contracts into the WithdrawDAO recovery contract. The fork itself took place smoothly, with roughly 85% of miners mining on the fork:

 

as i said a few day ago...HF LOYALTY PUMP 
Some guys out there really appreciate what we did to help ETH and our reward is coming..
I also said after HF we will see alot of buy support come back and will soon be higher than ever before 

Well done everyone

Bitcoin is about a year into a scaling debate, without any reasonable solution shipped. Will be a big moment to watch how the two compare.

Big if though....they haven't done it yet. I'd give them an 80% chance of success I think.

If ethereum pulls off this hard fork, very positive signal for them as a team. Shows they can listen to community, execute in time of crisis

ooo did i mention the HF loyalty pump............

ive been buying ETH & DAO past few hours

I dont think there will be a big dump if fork goes smoothly as most DAO sellers that wanted out, have already done so, this week DAO/ETH ratio has been almost 96%+
Also those that have waited for full refund are long term ETHeads and have full faith in the ETH team.

If there is a dump, the buy support is massive and the rebound back to current price, then higher will happen within hours as demand outstrips supply.
I have BTC waiting for ya dumpers,lol and so does everyone reading this ,lol
( i know alot of whales wanting in cheap and know this is their last chance to get noobs to dump )

Now heres the good news after fork...
Coinbase within next 3weeks (pump)
Devcon2 in around 8weeks, biggest crypto event of all time  , worldwide media attention (pump)
Metropolis update within next few months (pump)
All three of these events is guaranteed to bring in new users and fresh $$

Im convinced Okcoin, Houbi and maybe Btchina add ETH around Devcon2, maybe even at the event ( $50+ ETH )
Bitstamp ( already linked with ETH through Pantera ) will add ETH. Circle likely too add ETH aswell (the ceo of circle is a speaker at Devcon2)

More dapps, Plutus will change how we spend our crypto, Augur and many more exciting projects will be added to trade on ETH markets.

Many major new developments on IOT and VR/AR using ETH, as we head into a new world come 2017

Realistic price imho by JAN 2017, we should be around $80-$100+ per ETH

We're returning it to the purchaser, not the current token hold.
If during the creation period you paid 1.5 eth for 100 dao tokens with address 0xdeadda0, and have since transferred the 100 dao tokens to me at address 0xbeefda0, I would be able to claim 1 eth for the 100 dao tokens (by sending them from 0xbeefda0), and you would be able to claim 0.5 eth by sending a message from 0xdeadda0.

Awesome 

Its been a while since i wore my space suit,lol

A very good step in the right direction.
Im extremly impressed, give this a few months and hopefully Fiat gateways will be there too.

Coinbase has already added ether to GDAX and will be making it available on its retail site Coinbase.com this month. yes ETH on COINBASE..

BUY TIME...after a few days off and lots of thinking...im confident that any dumps that happen now , or during the refund DAO period, will be easily absorbed by the market.
ETH has access to some really deep pockets 
ETH is undervalued right now and as the price drops the buy support increases...after hardfork i bet anyone that ETH will defo see 20k+BTC buy support again...soon.

I also very sure okcoin and more will be joining us soon ( before Devcon2 ) as ETH Chinese community has grown alot recently.

Bit risky but If you miss cheap ETH , buy a bit o DAO and then change to ETH after fork at 100dao for 1eth
GD LUCK PEEPS

lol, i did almost fall asleep

I have been putting my coins into cold storage.
I wont be trading much this week, as i expect alot of craziness incoming. The fork and after reading yesterdays post from Stephan, it made me think alot.
Also if the fork happens, (which im all for) i would expect at least 10% of ETH being dumped from DAO and we could flash crash down ( how much i think, i cant say ,lol )
I have placed orders lower and will wait to see if they get filled before deciding my next move.
Once this all blows over ETH will be back over $20 in no time.
BTC died many times to become stronger...ETH might have to do the same.

His presentation included a slideshow showing how the eAuction platform, Auction 3.0, will fit into the existing infrastructure and interface with existing government and banking systems. He revealed that even the largest banks are happy to integrate the new system.

True
The banks current coins are dying ,lol ( fiat, unlimted supply ) now its a case of ...do banks add BTC ( could become the closest to the old Gold standard ) as another option or will people leave the banks shitcoins for BTC?

lol gd video, the intro sounds like Saw meets Matrix,lol
I remember hearing about Deloitte working with ETH and a few others recently...http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/deloitte-build-ethereum-based-digital-bank-new-york-citys-consensys-1557864

yea fatman ive been bullish on crypto since just before Brexit and even more bullish now that Trump looks likely to destroy the USA economy and Dollar.

However short term i do see BTC testing $500, this will test the network and the community...will fear set in and we go lower?, will miners leave ?(short term) once these have been tested, i think we will begin recovery around end sept-oct. United States presidential election of 2016, Tuesday, November 8, 2016 will be the the time we go over $1k as many people will leave( or be thrown out ,lol) and BTC and ETH will allow them to move money out easier and quicker as we move into 2017.
