seems almost too complicated for real world use...im not too smart but the average person wont have a clue what to do with this...im just being critical.

Ethereum will have to compete with NXT.

Or they will just join Nxt and work on top of Nxt, charleshoskinson already "came there"

when will be possible to buy ethereum coins ? (what will be conversion rate with BTC ? )

[cryptoknightt]

What is this I hear about this paypal talks???

If ether is as popular as it looks, and people are already building apps on it, how could it be a bad investment? If there are a ton of buyers, then this would only generate more people that have an interest in its success. This in theory would only help to get the word spread even more.

This is a game changer. Nxt and (Nem in theory) will be making moves as well. I have a stake in NEM btw.

Have you heard of Skycoin, that may be a big deal as well as Maidsafe.

These along with a few other competitors will come along.

You have to think that ether will be a step above these, except Ethereum is a different system. But the same type of investor.

But will it pull in more investors than the others? Will it be a step above those in that manner? Again, I think yes.

I believe that Ethereum will get the extra attention, and in turn gain more buyers than ether coins generated each year. The reason is like a circle. I believe investors will think this as well. They will think that it will bring in the new buyers and cause a circle to continue to go around and be a self fulfilling prophecy.

 I think of only a few unlikely way to lose investing in this.

I think it will be very, very unlikely that there will be more coins generated, and more investors getting out of the market, than buyers. Plain and simple.

I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it. It's a long term, hefty gains investment. And please, stop with ohhh the inflation!!! GTFO!

Without it it would only surely die out, if you understand economics.

Hi everybody!

Can You advice me - How I can invest some money to this project.

Thank You very much indeed.

I think of only a few unlikely way to lose investing in this.

If the IPO raised 100,000 bitcoin, and right after the bitcoin price started its ascent towards $10,000, then you'll find a lot of people panic selling to get back into bitcoin.

when etherum launched！？

Ethereum will launch Q4 2014.
The proof of concept clients are available and are now on their 5th release.

The Ether presale has not been announced yet.

Thank you

It is too long to wait. I dont think Ether would be successful because everything is changing so fast especially in this high tech Century.

I totally agree with you.

I was really emphatic at the beginning of Ethereum but now I'm waiting for such a long time that I loose interest about it.

"lose interest"

The Tortoise and the Hare... fable of La Fontaine, better start off at just the right moment for who knows to wait
Not always speed that matters,  specially in this new era, all "big" projects take time to apply fully and carefully, I would tend to consider a lot more a company wishing to build a strong basis before going mainstream rather than one that opens directly at the very beginning with all the hazard and uncertainty linked to the process. Ether, Nem, Zerocoin, Circle, they all follow the same logic, give a ready to use stabilized product before "launching" and all the better for us, final users.
Following carefully
For the Ether sale, best way to be sure, is on the ether forum on the dedicated, locked thread >> http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/196/ether-sale-faq-live-updates. And it probably will make a big noise so it will be hard to miss (probably ann's on bitcoin newspapers, bitcoin magazine, CCN)

Thanks for sharing the link. was wondering when the Ether Sale would start.

Is it the case that we have to buy ether to get hold of it ? As I can see in The Issuance Model in Ethereum, it will be issued at a constant annual linear rate via the block mining process. As it has not yet began, can I expect that initially we'll be able to do CPU mining ?

Interested in Ethereum and expecting clarifications. Have some more questions.

to all ethereum advocators. ethereum is obvious vaporware. get into solid NEW ECONOMY MOVEMENT.

51% Throttling

Since ether can theoretically be mined via CPU, GPU, HHD, and participating in a WMN, would it be a good idea to limit one way of mining to let say, 50 percent? For example, CPU generated ether cannot exceed 50 percent of the total ether in the network at the time it is mined. Ether generated by CPU will be throttled accordingly as it reaches 50% of the total supply of ether and all other ways of mining will be increased accordingly. This of course would mean that there must be a way to distinguish ether that is mined with CPU, GPU, and all others.

The idea behind 51% throttling is to make it difficult for a single organization to dominate the ether mining game. Additionally, there are a few other benefits from throttling. Throttling will encourage innovation in all forms technologies used for mining. For instance, if most of the ether is mined with CPUs and least of which is mined with HHDs and SSDs, the mining algorithm can (1) take ether mined with CPU and give it to people who are mining with HHDs or (2) lower the reward of ether to CPU miners and increase the reward to HHD miners. As a result, for the time being, more people will start to mine with SSDs and more people will buy SSDs, which will cause SSDs to become faster, higher capacity and cheaper. Every form of technology used for mining ether will go through this continuous cycle of mining and technological improvement.
