Most of you guys posting here laughing about Ethereum are like the people who ridiculed Bitcoin when it launched. Now is a good time to buy, when the price goes up again, you will regret not buying Ethereum will go PoS in about a year and a half (approximately).
Wrong, Bitcoin wasn't crowdfunded with $Millions that were blown through by "developers" Bitcoin feels ancient at this moment compared to any 2.0 blockchain out there, it takes like ages to confirm whenever some geeks decide to make some "tests" and those devs fighting over such a minor thing like blocksize for ages, having no imagination... yeah, GL with bitcoin...every serious business are looking at blockchain 2.0 already, it takes another 1-2 years before they forget about stone age tech like bitcoin. Bitcoin is like hi5 and ethereum feels like Facebook at the moment, like you can make a contract which puts a lock on your coins and you can transfer them only after the time-lock passes...how cool is that? I'm invested in Bitcoin too, but it makes me feel unsafe when day by day I see plain ignorant people posting pro bitcoin comments like "what Ethereum can do and Bitcoin can't?" That's plain stupid, It can do a lot of thing right from the start... And they come back saying... "well, you can develop that into bitcoin too..." well, yeah, GL with that while the devs have so much troubles with blocksize alone )))) Blockchain 3.0 tech is coming out next year though. I've tried to develop with Ethereum and it sucks. Sure it is 100x better than bitcoin but Ethereum isn't good enough for my needs. Dude, you're full of shit, just like your nickname suggests... Everything you post make no sense, just looks like you post to increase your post count. So, help me understand... You tried to develop with Ethereum and it sucks, yet you are so devoted to develop daps for shift, which is a not-supported-by-good-devs fork of Ethereum...which is? You don't know what CHF is when people are talking about money? .... and yet you are a developer somehow?... What is a CHF? No one here can answer that question.

Ether need to offer a GUI client. That is first and foremost at this time.
There IS a GUI client, why the hell to people keep saying this? Jesus, research first before sharing idiotic comments. I think people get confused because there isn't an official download link on Ethereum.org where you chose: windows, mac, android, iphone, linux, etc. Then install the program and have a GUI with auto updates.

What specifically in the NXT code do you think could assist in our project?
Their PoS code. The most important feature of PoS for myself is the ability to sign an offline transaction and then bring that signed transaction onto the network so that it allows me to stake my coins that are stored offline in a paper wallet.
|
|
|
The main thing I want from a PoS coin is the ability to stake while my coins are in a cold wallet.
Nxt can do that by leasing the forging (=staking) power to another account. That's a great idea. People need cold storage. NXT is built with java. Java is already used in Synereo. The NXT code might be a really good place to start for Synereo. I get a sense that Synereo really likes Java.

just what the hell is the point of this coin? )) who on earth will develop daps on this (which is the most important thing about ethereum). Copy/Paste - > Premine - > get rich? Copy paste? No. We already have new tech that does not exist in ethereum. You can not imagine anyone who wants develop or push dapps onto the shift network? Could you imagine that there are people in this world that think different from what you do? I am going to be developing DApps for SHIFT. Yes we know, you siad that week ago That person must have not read every message in the thread. I'm hoping someone forks Augur for SHIFT. It's going to be a really useful way to bring in volume. You could even run a crowdsale and try to raise money. This would get the REP distributed to users who want to manage the decentralized platform.

Blockchain Labs, was co-founded by Buterin, BitShares co-founder Bo Shen and Feng Xiao, vice chairman and executive director of Wanxiang Holdings, the company's investment arm.
It looks like Vitalik already left Ethereum.

Good thing I bought the crowdsale and then sold immediately You guys are such suckers! Too bad I bought back in already

This coin should go PoS as soon as possible. Whenever any PoS Ethereum text code is released SHIFT should go PoS. PoW is just crazy wasteful and expensive to maintain.
My inner voice talks previous speaker is absolutely correct. But what about the premine? It's 250k of 630k, or about 40% premine right now. That would be a coin killer. No matter which path will be suit for this coin, without goodwill from onwers side it would be better stay neutral. If PoS comes 8 months early. You could go PoS and then add in a new 1,500,000 coin mined block that gets distributed. So if we need 2 million mined coins but PoS comes out next month. You could multiply each addresses coin total by 5. Automatically done. This stuff doesn't really matter yet though. It could be a whole year before an alpha PoS is available.

There are other PoS coins. Was PeerCoin the first? NovaCoin?

Yeah, I mostly see Vitalik writing articles for the various fake news magazines that him and his friends manage. I saw him in a video interview saying he would leave Ethereum if it stopped receiving support.
He would leave Ethereum with a lack of support - rightfully so! How many valuable articles did you provide to the community over the last 3 years? I have been around geniuses all my life. Vitalik is one of them. I had the chance to meet him once, in person, in 2013. Walk a mile in someones shoes before judging him... Vitalik is technical genius, maybe not the greatest accountant or company CEO - but what do you expect from a 21 yrs old guy... still a genius! He is also a bad altcoin creator. I really dislike how the devs took a premine. It's like a golden parachute they can sell and exit with great profit.

Or maybe these talented Shift developers could implement PoS without riding on the coat tails of Ethereum? It might happen. There are already at least 4 versions of PoS. It must not be all that hard to program.
