[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[iCEBREAKER]

Will Ethereum be able to implement Proof of Stake on Ethers? I think it would be a great idea to stake Ethers (like a bank account which earns you interest) as this would make it more energy efficient than mining them with a GPU. Still there is a lot to be developed on, and maybe in the next 2 to 3 years we would be able to see Ethereum's true potential. This is an excting journey for Ethereum. 

I've been lending mine on Polo for interest

Me too!  It's like ETH already has proof of stake.

R3cev once again, bullish on ETH:

Excerpt:
The article attempts to paint the Ethereum experimentation as a potential "contentious issue" with two "camps" emerging: Ethereum blue sky experimenting vs R3 standards building on top of legacy systems. Yet it is very safe to say that our current and future work covers both of these "camps."

Could you advise me on how to do such thing? This looks pretty interesting, but I do not know how to do that on the Poloniex exchange. Sorry for asking, I'm still not familiar with how Poloniex works. I use Cryptsy most of the time.

Ethereum Price Technical Analysis for 23/11/2015 – Bounce, Bounce, Bounce
Price Key Highlights
-Ethereum price appears to be creating a range on its 1-hour time frame, unable to sustain its momentum after an earlier breakout.
- Price found resistance at 0.00300 and support at the 0.00285 area. Ethereum price just bounced off the top of its range and may be ready to test the bottom once more.

Ethereum price could continue with its sideways movement, as technical indicators aren’t offering any signals for directional plays.

I just started doing this myself after I saw this video.  The video is a bit rough, but should give you a good idea how the Lending area works.

I started this video link around the point where he started talking about Lending.

This is a great video. It helped me get a better understanding of how Poloniex lending works. This is pretty amazing. That means I could start lending my ETH and gain interest in return. I'm going to try this at the weekend and see how good it goes.

Yeah I just don;t have anything to risk right now so I am going to wait it out and let it work out any bugs and issues that arise. Early adopters don;t always win.

in the short term is expected to rise in the prices of 0.00285

[usukan]

whats the answer to this?


From p2pfoundation.
"One common concern about Ethereum is the issue of scalability. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum suffers from the flaw that every transaction needs to be processed by every node in the network. With Bitcoin, the size of the current blockchain rests at about 20 GB, growing by about 1 MB per hour. If the Bitcoin network were to process Visa's 2000 transactions per second, it would grow by 1 MB per three seconds (1 GB per hour, 8 TB per year). Ethereum is likely to suffer a similar growth pattern, worsened by the fact that there will be many applications on top of the Ethereum blockchain instead of just a currency as is the case with Bitcoin, but ameliorated by the fact that Ethereum full nodes need to store just the state instead of the entire blockchain history."

can anyone post a working bat for a 750 ti ? ive searched high and low and only find discussions about the various issues with it . (the 750 ti)
my current batch is  ethminer.exe -F http://eth1.nanopool.org:8888/0x"walletaddress" -G.
i cant tell if im actually minining. never says accepted share or whatever. and slows my pc to a semi freeze.
anyone know whats wrong?

there is such a setting --farm-recheck , you specify it in a config or startup file? Too fast decisions are, look, at 5-6 in the second. Put --farm-recheck 200; this happens if it is wrong to specify --cl-global-work for Nvidia recommend 65536 if I remember correctly.

It won't work in Windows base. You have to run in Linux and use "-U" instead of "-G" to get the best result.

Is anybody having any success mining with AlethOne?  It looks pretty simple to use....but I have a relatively cheap graphics card.  I don't pay anything for electricity so electricity isn't a concern....my only serious concern is wear and tear on my system....Can I get any results using AlethOne and mining with a cheap graphics card, without risking extreme wear and tear on my system, if the cost of electricity is not an issue?

. weird. the ethereum forum had plenty of posters mining with windows.  somthing about after block 30,000. 750ti no work. tried the farm recheck thing no diff.
whatever... i gave it my best shot, crashed my pc numerous times . i give up. its not like id have got rich or anything. was just  tryin to learn command line stuff an such.
ill just go back to my normal shitcoin staking and bitcoin mining. thanx anyway. happy thanxgiving everyone

i'm mining on windows with 280x..pretty stable...i'm on amd and you are on nvidia, i don't know if there are issues for your card.

when do you get the crashes?immediately? or later?

it doesn't show "accepted share" you will get "getting work package" ... "got work package"..hash..hash.." "submitted and accepted"

anyway..insufficient power supply will crash your pc since your GPU won't have enough power when mining starts.

maybe your GPU needs new thermal paste, had a few crashes before and the culprit was one of my 280x overheating.

i recommend to run furmark stress test for 15mins..see if you have issues with power and GPU before looking for other solutions

Suprnova's US node (https://eth.suprnova.cc) was hit by a DOS today, it's back up now and I've dropped the fee to 0 % for the next three days to compensate a bit for the downtime ( on all nodes).

does anyone of you know of a etherwallet for presale ether?
that is save and stores my ether on my pc
