No. Don't add it until you have the proof it exist. Until now, Ethereum is a group of very greedy people with big mouth.

That could very well be true and with all of the 'shitcoins' going around, it makes sense to wait for proof. I think the concept could definitely be added though, much the same way eMunie was added to the list but make a note that it is still a conception and hasn't proven itself.

The public beta-test is tomorrow. This crypto-currency does exist. Ethereum on the other hand, could be the biggest scam ever. The creator is asking 36 millions USD right now, he'll keep more than 50 % premine, the access to the coins will be locked for one year and every year you'll be allowed to sell only 50% of remaining coin.

what is your estimate of how many people think that way? will it get support inside the community? aantonop has promoted it a bit. a lot of people will be impressed by the wire article. buying a journalist can be quite profitable it seems. the ratio of people who understand technical details to investors is probably <1%, which makes it profitable for people to do this kind of thing. I wonder what the impact is going to be. if the coin would be done without funds raised I wouldn't mind seeing the experiment done, as it shows what will happen if you run nodes with a full language (host to trojans and viruses).

I'm glad to see some renewed interest in this thread. I will make sure to do some updates on the OP this weekend. I apologize I haven't done that more often.. I've been really busy doing all sorts of things.
Cheers,
Ch

The creator is asking 36 millions USD right now, he'll keep more than 50 % premine, the access to the coins will be locked for one year and every year you'll be allowed to sell only 50% of remaining coin. While that is true, that eMunie has been on beta-testing for a while, when it was originally added, around August? It had a very small amount of beta-testers. Now, I'm not arguing about the authenticity of Ethereum, I'm merely suggesting its concept be added to the list, for much the same reason eMunie was added so early (Even though its released was delayed such a long time). How the coin is distributed and what they ask for in terms of funds is completely irrelevant in terms of the scope of this thread. Also, any accusations or theories based on the likelihood of something is merely speculation or just a conspiracy. I also believe that the Ethereum client was released today? Maybe, I'm away on my laptop and the windows binaries haven't been released yet, although it has been for linux. https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/wiki/BuildingNow, if we look at what Ethereum looks to offer, I'm confident anyone will find it hard to deny its innovative nature, which is the reason for this thread. This is not to say that there aren't any real concerns over their approach or flaws in there implementation but currently, it's difficult to find any 'coin' that doesn't have imperfect attributes in some way or another.

Currencies don't need to be innovative, they just need to work. What is innovative about the USD compared to the British Pound or compared to any other currency, it's just a medium of exchange. People falling for 100% premined coins wrapped up as a next generation currency are being duped, but kudos to the developers, they making themselves a lot of money on 2nd gen start ups. There is only 1 coin that can compete with bitcoin just on it's name alone, a coin that everyone can relate too and very few have even noticed it yet.

Have you Guys looked at MedCoin? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397831.0I find this one very interesting, it's a HybridScryptHash256 Algorithm, That uses Scrypt and Hash256 in a chain that allows the reuse of ASIC miners but limits their Hashingrates based on CPU power. You could hang a 30G/hs Blade on a i3 Processor and it would hash at about 10 or so G/hs the same on an i7 would do about 19G/hs. This means the Whales couldn't just come in and take over without investing in some serious CPU power. White Paper : http://www.mediterraneancoin.org/hybridscrypthash256.pdfI've been mining this and I find it to be pretty good, especially if you aren't a Mega-Miner with a Farm at your disposal.. The DEVs had a nice soft launch and have been working quite hard to fine tune the Mining Software. There's not really any Marketing Plan (that I've seen) to speak of, but the Algorithm is very promising. Another one I've found interesting is Cryptographicanomaly. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=437950.0;topicseenThis coin also has a very innovative Algorithm with KGW and a unique Block Reward system. Quote from DEV: The block reward is (almost) always 0 (yes Zero), the only way that a Cryptographic Anomaly is born is if the remainder of the block number divided by the difficulty falls between 1 and 0. So as the difficulty increases the rarity of the coin increases. After block 15,000 the MAX rate that anomalies can be generated will be 1 out of 3 blocks (1/3). This rule will apply only when the difficulty is below 3. After block 15,000 and the diff rises past 3 the normal rules will apply, the probability of an anomaly being generated will be 1/diff. The inital stages of the launch were a bit Chaotic as there were some unexpected problems with the Algorithms, Wallets and Blockchain playing together. This Coin has built a GREAT community arround it who worked literally Day and Night to make everything behave. I find these 2 coins pretty innovative...we'll see where they go...
