Nick Szabo is helping on the Ethereum project?

[Spoetnik]

Ya'll will love this:

"Ethereum has vast potential, whereas Bitcoin won't ever do anything well beyond implementing a currency," programmer Nick Szabo, another early Bitcoin proponent who's recently begun tweeting after an extended absence from the internet, told us in an email several weeks ago.

"early Bitcoin proponent"

I'd say. Thrown off yet?

He does speak the truth in the context of his essays on smart contracts. He is all about that. A well implemented Ethereum would be closer to his final vision than Bitcoin. Even if Bitcoin/gold was his initial vision. There is nothing controversial about this, it's just a matter of reading the essays.

good point !
if it was him and he made Bitcoin i bet he had more ideas after the fact..
and as we can see here in the Alt scene what ideas get ya lol
a big ole fat pile of bullshit !

Ethereum has all the hallmarks of vaporware.

Whilst I won't go so far as to predict the outcome of the project - especially since their funding has been phenomenal - I recommend you to read this lengthy account of a similar well-known vaporware project.

My judgement - given the team working on ethereum - is that it's similar to Xanadu. It seems like they are trying to reinvent crypto-currency and the bitcoin blockchain, except they don't really know what they are inventing.

I can't see any practical use for Ethereum except for creating another currency.

I'd steer clear of getting involved with this project in any of its forms. It looks like it's very cleverly marketed - the "yellowpaper" certainly reads impressively - however, until they actually have a product that appeals to anyone other than speculators, I'd stay well clear.

good point and that is not factoring in other digging guys have already done if you snoop around looking up the name.
i can just imagine the grand altcoin plans the bitcoin devs have.. they are bored of Bitcoin and want a slice of the Flash mine pie i think.. simple.
the temptation to get in on the ground floor again must claw at them non stop.. all these stories of i had a 1,000 Bitcoin but didn't keep them etc stories way back LOL
the altcoin allure and siren call... $$$$ dreams of lambo's and Moon's

I really don't think you fully understand what is going on.

Oh nice Satoshi is joining Ethereum. If BCNXT joins also then you can buy Google and Facebook for 1 Ether in 2015.

click on the profile and read my trust rating i am not stopping you.

i will say the trust rating is for trades.

i'll give you a little hint

http://www.neowin.net/news/internet-trolls-will-face-up-to-two-years-in-prison-under-new-uk-bill

i hope your not in the UK sweety or i will see your cocky ass in jail

zip up.. your Fail is hanging out honey.
we all know the trust rating here means nothing because it's abused rampantly..
i've made topics before asking the staff to do something about it and they don't care.

have a look at your feedback son lol

PS:
I already put you in your place before so you want some more keep talking..
in the mean time everyone got my opinion (the correct one) so......
