dunno if you guys know...http://www.themoscowtimes.com/article/514363.html

Russia has blocked five websites tied to the "bitcoin" digital currency in an effort to fight the growth of the "shadow economy," according to a state media watchdog.

The list of blocked sites published on Roskomnadzor's social media page this week includes Bitcoin.org, Bitcoin.it, BTCsec.com, Indacoin and Coinspot.ru. A number of other bitcoin sites continue to operate in Russia, including bitcoin trading website BTC-E.com.

I also hear bitstamp is banned.

5 Reasons to Build Decentralized Apps

true , but i think its because they need to test...before they use the public chain, which should be more secure.
Richard Herbert, chief information officer, global banking and markets, at HSBC, said: "The new R3 globally accessible lab environment is enabling both R3 and member banks to collaborate technically on experiments related to shared ledger and smart contracts technology. As demonstrated by the first project that is already up and running, this lab platform will aid faster experimentation, provide technical agility and aid learning greatly."

Alex Batlin, UBS senior innovation manager, added: "Proving the scale and peer-to-peer operation of blockchain experiments is an important next step in this transformational initiative. Through connecting 11 bank labs into a simulated-real-world network, we're able to establish the platform we need to test our theories effectively in a safe environment."

Banks using eth to issue their own current currencies as digital tokens and contracts with safety, cost reduction, private transactions and eventually speed of blockchain, makes sense to me.

R3 connects 11 banks to distributed ledger using Ethereum and Microsoft Azure knew this last week 

so im spreading crap, cause...you highly doubt...who are you to decide what price eth could be??  , few weeks till homestead and augur, many awesome dapps and a few banks involved, in 6months we will be near POS, if you think it will be $5...good for u.
Also im not stupid to sell large amounts of ETH under 0.004, i wont beable to buy them back at these prices, like many others i am In this coin for the long term, accumulating as much as i can for the pos stage, ive invested in many pos coins because i know the only people that do well in pos are early adopters that bought cheap. yes i bought at 0.002 and 0.0025 and 0.003 and ill keep buying because i believe ETH is undervalued, thats my opinion and its my $$. You think about us pushing price down...maybe think who is keeping the price up? 
You say "If BTC flies to $600usd each come halving in June...ETH will for sure drop back down"  i  disagree, ETH price will rise with money coming to crypto through BTC, like LTC went to $50 when btc went to $1k, same thing will happen but this time it will be ETH rising with btc, if btc has cap of $10bill+ ETH will have a cap of $1bill+
As for the pump n dump shit u talking...well done sherlock you figured out how pnd groups work,lol    thats true on most shit coins...not ETH

has anyone noticed that you cant make new btc addresses on exchanges now!, bittrex and polo dont allow it anymore, its one address per account ( with id on polo )
hmm i wonder why??

i cant get enough of this,lol cheers for filling my orders and ive set a few more traps....remember this...ETH could go down in price but whoever dumps large amounts, you will not get your coins back cheaper 
With so much happening with ETH tech wise and the behind the scenes major development  , ETH will be $10+ within 3-6months, imo ETH will be number 2, worth over a $billion cap and if btc keeps fkn up we could see the unthinkable...ETH becomes #1
In this coin for the long term, accumulate as much as you can, sit back and relax 

quick few points that nobodys made...
lets say 4000 people got airdrop...many will dump, kl no probs
but what if 4000 got airdrop and added 1btc each for more decred, suddenly we have 4k btc buy support...
even if they buy 0.1 btc worth, 400btc is way more support on decred than almost every other alt on every exchange...
add some whale walls and traders that missed the airdrop and suddenly things start to look very different.
Decred devs have good rep already and im sure the btcdevs have plenty of long term btc holders that appreciate their work on btc.

great discussion guys    roach n alex    , jorge n smooth , azwarel n richy and a few others debating gd tech talk

omg, i just found out something about ETH, when this news goes live...BOOOOM ETH to number 2 overnight...again sell if u want as im buying more ETH today....alooot more

from hearns post the other day-
The divide has led over the last six months to death threats against Bitcoin developers and hacking attacks that have taken down Internet providers.
The fight took on a new dimension when a powerful hacker distributed Bitkiller, malicious software that sought out computers that downloaded the Bitcoin XT software and overwhelmed them with traffic. One Internet provider on Long Island said the Bitkiller attacks brought down service for part of southern Long Island for several hours. The biggest American Bitcoin company, Coinbase, was taken entirely off-line for brief periods after declaring support for XT. Not surprisingly, this scared away many Bitcoin users from downloading the new software or even declaring support for it.
The hacker responsible for the attack, who appeared to be based in Russia, told Mr. Hearn in an online exchange that someone “payed me for killing XT” — though he declined to say who was responsible.

Now im wondering could this happen to classic or any of the other wanabe bitcoin?  nakamotos coin will disapear (just like him,lol) and we get gavcoin or some other devs vision of btc, im even hearing things like they can change the halving date and the coin supply.
( wtf r they doing, https://bitcoinclassic.consider.it/  seems like a typical alt coin page )  

your lucky i even gave u 2 points , troll all u want u cant do shit, guess your either a sad troll or eth must interest you ( u can decide lol ),  i prob wont tell u shit on monday , you can go find out yourself why ETH jumped up in price again ( 0.004s soon ) and look out for some huge buy walls 

WHERES THE BEEF?....i dunno im a vegetarian 

wheres the dev btw? offline 6+months partying and lobbying?            
    lol, dev and team with regular updates -   https://blog.ethereum.org/  read and learn  
you will be lucky if homestead even happens
    I dont wana drop the bomb on you until monday, guess i know something u dont    ( ill post the links for your viewing pleasure ,lol )

wow....token anonymization,  https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/01/15/privacy-on-the-blockchain/    ( posted yesterday by VB)  also check out  http://enigma.media.mit.edu/enigma_full.pdf  

"Another kind of technology that has very powerful properties is zero-knowledge proofs, and specifically the recent developments in “succinct arguments of knowledge” (SNARKs). VB

"A technology which is moderately technically complicated, but extremely promising for both token anonymization and identity applications, is ring signatures......There is also an upgraded version of a ring signature called a linkable ring signature" VB

ETH going anon !  Looking good

ETH @ 0.003 is soo damn cheap. When compared to other coins that are basically bitcoin with a dif algo and coin supply. ETH is truly next gen crypto.  
If ltc & dash are worth more than $3, right now ETH price should be equal ( or higher ) and when all the new stuff is out ltr this yr you can easily see it being worth $1bill+ market cap, making each coin worth $10+
ETH is seriously underpriced and this is a long overdue price correction.  

guys bb walls moving up again (very soon), get in while we still in the 0.003s
