[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[mandibleclaw]

Why don't make it DPoS or LPoS (like Waves) ? PoS is already the past, the fastest blockchains right now are all DPoS (Decent, Bitshares, Ark, Waves and so on)

[gembitz]

Guys, there are quite a lot smart contract platforms on the market at the moment and new ones are coming. Do you think Ethereum will retain leadership among such a platforms forever? For me, it might be more profitable to invest in lower market cap platforms (Lisk, Qtum EOS, ..) ?

You're making the assumption those lower market cap platforms will see the same kind of attention Ethereum has, and increase in adoption/usage/value at a greater rate than Ethereum (otherwise, it would be by definition, less profitable)....it's a bold assumption

And do those platforms have a leader with an IQ of 257 like Vitalik Buterin when Albert Einstein and Bill Gates both had an identical IQs of 160? The saying goes whatever the other platforms can do we can do better, why bet on less intelligence?

Stephen Hawking (IQ score of 160).
Marilyn Vos Savant (IQ score of 228) ...
Christopher Hirata (IQ score of 225) ...
Kim Ung-Yong (IQ score of 210) ...
Edith Stern (IQ score of more than 200) ...
Christopher Michael Langan (IQ score between 190 and 210) ...
Garry Kasparov (IQ score of 194) ...
Philip Emeagwali (IQ score of 190)
Vitalik Buterin (IQ score of 257)

Do you see my point?

Get real, 257 my eye. He would be listed in guiness if he was even close to that. I bet I can beat him at chess

The real issue here is that IQ isn't a very good metric for intellectual capacity. It's just a widely known one :/

$ETC : Welcome to the Beginning >_> the ETC/ETH flippening!!    weeee

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=ETC_BTC

ETC is literally going nowhere Ethereum hasn't already been. Why do you always seem to shill the worst coins gembitz? I feel bad for your portfolio

Even though I agree that Vitalik Buterin is pretty damn smart I am wondering where that number of 257 comes from? I am sure he didn't bring it up himself so who was it or who performed the actual test?

satoshi (IQ score 420) 

$ETC @.0032 ::: btfd!! :-D weee >_>

I have problem with truffle:

Error encountered, bailing. Network state unknown. Review successful transactions manually.
Error: insufficient funds for gas * price + value

My truffle.js:

Code:

module.exports = {
  // See <http://truffleframework.com/docs/advanced/configuration>
  // for more about customizing your Truffle configuration!
  networks: {
    development: {
      host: "127.0.0.1",
      port: 8599,
      network_id: 3,
      from: "0xC1320531dF2612B85e6FEDFd4d6358ed711bbe66",
      gas: 1000000,
      gasPrice: 10000000000,
    }
  }
};

"0xC1320531dF2612B85e6FEDFd4d6358ed711bbe66" testnet address. Have coins. Mining enabled.
Who can help me?

why is this centralized scam project still here? zero innovation, zero decentralization, ban it already.

Ethereum is still one of my favorite crypto projects. Vitalik put the blockchain on a whole new level. I have no doubt that Ethereum can be the number one crypto within the next two years.

Ethereum is my favorite mainly because the transaction speed is super fast. And happy to say we are again slowly entering $1000 (current price $959)

Where we are seeing the price of ethereum at end of 2018
hoping of flippening takes place soon

Above $4000 as I think it has more good chance to get a stable floor on that level. Ethereum is growing rapidly so that I also think it will keep moving to unlock the new opportunities.

But that would put us at 400 billion dollars market capitalization, which sounds a little bit too good to be true. I hope you are right anyway!

"Super fast" is a very relative term I would say. It's still by far not fast enough to serve the demand that'll be created through blockchain platforms very soon. But we'll get there eventually!

Finally we have something to hold faith on. I think ETH will keep building momentum throughout 2018. My projection is  2.5 k end of year.

By the way that the StateofDapps keeps building up, and with the upcoming updates for ETH, I also think that it will keep growing throughout 2018. I see it at 3000-4000 by the end of the year

[mygoldblocks]

Great

[Digital Galaxy]

I was very satisfied to wake up and see Ethereum up again. wouldn't mind a day of healthy consolidation but not gonna lie. it would be amazing if the pattern of explosive action continued.

I was actually hoping only for eth to end the year at the $2000 level, but if you guys see its valuation to be more than that, then it will be welcomed with open arms   2018 will be a good year for eth because there will be lots of icos and token creation this year.

[mandibleclaw]

Instead of being worried about the price , you must be worried if ethereum will scale enough this year with the multitude of dapps that developers will build on hit.

[Pumuckel21]

yeah but 2018 will be an hard year for ethereum. Waves is going to be an hard competitor for upcoming ICO projetcs. Aswell neo is growing pretty fast at the moment

You must have sold off around $300, eh? Please be more salty, it usually means a good pump is on the horizon when we get children shouting "scam!" lol  

Not to mention...you realize "banning" a blockchain does absolutely shit right? As in, it can't be done effectively? Go research "distributed technology".

[kerafym]

Still one of the best projects for blockchain-technology. Vitalik Buteren is just impressive.  Ethereum is able to change the game in an unknown matter.

[Nowhere but up]

Too much activity this spring for eth to be trading under 1000 in my opinion, so much potential should be worth more than 500b plus market cap of Facebook as Icos continue to roll out and apps being built and the increase in the games and collectibles market is growing nicely too. What does Facebook have a bunch of online people with fake advertising ads. Ethereum is building real applications and creating interesting ico projects and jobs. Does Facebook create jobs? Not really....

Here's proof things are accelerating;
We started with cryptokitties
Don't look now but crypto countries is taking off where like that board game Risk you can buy a country and you lose it only when someone else pays a higher price but you get the profit, wow the potential here is limitless.
There is cryptocelebrities, crypto-all stars, and now etherbots with Lamborghini-inspired robot-parts.

Just like when The first Apple iPhone came out this is a great start, everything will improve over time.....

ETH has been touted by many investors. In the next 1-2 years, once slice technology is used to solve the problem of slow speed, ETH will surpass BTC and become the TOP1 of the encrypted currency market.
