I am not gettting this... As far as I understand that the total shares pre-launch (100M investors, 25M founders, 25M devs and 50M ethers) will be premined and spread before launch and all of them make a total of 200M. So how after 1 year the total supply will be still 200M? That sounds like no ethers will be ever mined during the first year? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) In this example during the first year 50M ethers maximum will be mined.

I think 10,000 BTC is a lot and won't be invested. So why there is need in 1.2T Ethers? Don't understand..
The idea is that the money supply increase (albeit very slow - look at the date on that 1.2T ether) allows latecomers to 'own' parts of the supply through mining and reduces capital centralization (simulating dilution).

Is the initial price really 0.0001?
If so then if compare it with the current price of NXT 0.00006 it's straight away more expensive than NXT which has risen a lot since it's start. struggling to see the benefit of buying into the IPO, unless someone can tell me my maths are wrong.

It's rather interesting to see that >80% of the posts here discuss IPO and mining and very few posts discuss the interesting aspects like the scripting language or transaction logic, privacy, etc... Greed! Guys, this coin is not especially useful for getting rich quick and I predict you will have all the time in the world to buy/mine it if you want in the years after launch because of the linear inflation. There will be no halving of the reward, inflation in relative terms only goes down due to the increasing supply. This means miners in year 1 will get the same amount of coin as miners in year 20. This coin is innovative technically and founders have chosen not to make early adopters extremely rich in the long run. Since this (early adopter unfairness) is often cited as a drawback of Bitcoin (envy) by newcomers and some economists, I think this could turn out to be a good decision... Interest in the coin seems to be high enough to get it going without exorbitant promise to early investors. Well, let there be competition ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I'll invest anyway regardless of how rigged, also interested to invest as a founder if possible.

Agree. Let's discuss fee, for example: Ethereum will have seven primary fees, of which one applies to transaction senders and six apply to contracts. The fees are:
TXFEE (100x) - fee for sending a transaction NEWCONTRACTFEE (100x) - fee for creating a new contract, not including the memory fee for each item in script code STEPFEE (1x) - fee for every computational step after than first sixteen in contract execution STORAGEFEE (5x) - per-byte fee for adding to contract storage. The storage fee is the only fee that is not paid to a miner, and is refunded when storage used by a contract is reduced or removed. DATAFEE (20x) - fee for accessing or setting a contract's memory from inside that contract EXTROFEE (40x) - fee for accessing memory from another contract inside a contract CRYPTOFEE (20x) - fee for using any of the cryptographic operations Why these magic numbers? I prefer numbers that r power of 2. Why not numbers set by the market? U can't win in a battle against market, if ur guess on numbers is incorrect the market will just adopt Cryptoneum or any other copycat.

So another NXT copycat lol Half joking...
EDIT: Especially regarding Vitalik's weird stance against NXT - no comment on it's PoS algo neither to his magazine, nor here nor in the protocol (as a reference for possible solution). He acts as if it does not exist, go figure...

The devs are asking advices from SunnyKing to create a coin similar to PeerCoin ?
It doesn't sound like a good news.

It does. This shows that they r open-minded persons, not fanatics.

So diffculty will never increase and mining at the same begining will be at same profitability as mining after 20 years? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Also what does CPU mining means? A strong usual PC will be enough for mining?

A strong usual PC will be enough for mining? As I understand it, the same amount of ETH will be mined every year forever. For this to happen difficulty has to adjust according to the network hashrate. Profitability is dependent on ETH price.

But as network hashrate grows (more miners mine), difficulty will increase? So still early miners which start when the network is smaller will have advantage, right?

If Ethereum is successful and more people mine it, then that should be right. The 50M figure is not fixed; it depends on the amount of BTC raised in the IPO. So if 1,000 BTC get raised, then that equals 10,000,000 ETH and miners will get 50% of that in the first year.

Mentioning no names but the people that tend to criticize others for greed have already made ALOT of money on other coins like NXT (at the cost of other later buyers ultimately) If you don't like greed I've posted my NXT address to prove how much you don't like it.....otherwise give others a chance that they had and took.
