[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

Geth 1.4.9: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.4.9

Geth 1.4.9 is a reversal release to undo the code changes that went into the 1.4.8 "DAO Wars" soft-fork release, as the soft-fork was deemed too vulnerable to DOS attacks, opening up the entire Ethereum network to resource abuse by malicious users.

Great work.

Does it mean the 1.4.9 does not have the soft fork, and we will have a new soft fork software in a few days?

Possible prediction market question: Who was behind the DAO attack?

Who cares? Get over it and move to next altcoin with greener pump&dump pastures.

I will buy back in only if it goes below $4. Too much uncertainty still, and so unproven.

If it goes below $4, it will also go below $1. It is better not to buy. When it goes above $15, then buy some.

Good logic. The hard question is what will happen after Jul 15?

We do not know the answer. I think I will wait for the soft fork to take effect. If that does not work, there will be a big dump.

What soft fork, the hard fork will be implemented before Jul 15. Don't you read the news?

Did find this interesting item - out of stock!

But, still, here they are:

http://asicminermarket.com/?product=am440-eth-miner

Main advantage on this offering is electricity works out to be 40% lower than running 14 R9 390's.

However, at this price you'd rather stick with GPU's!

Seems legit. Oh yeees! Thats the shit haha Not even a real picture of it but I honestly believe that is a sincere company, what could go wrong? I'll immediately order 5 of them

Yeah, I agree it is not compelling, but it is the opening salvo.

Now you know why people where opposed to Hard Fork on the Ethereum Network.

ASIC hardware could be toast!

Should the code be changed in the Hard Fork to a more ASIC resistant code.

Specialized hardware always leads to centralization. You have to update before the ASIC manufactures buy the development team.

The Ethereum PoW algorithm is supposed to be ASIC resistant. The cost of including memory is quite high.

Good to see a lot of doom and gloom preachers and newb accounts. Usually means people trying to buy low before a pump. LOL

Well said.  Pump and dump preaching is bushleauge.  Any investor worth his or her weight would agree.

People saying that usually means they are desperate to unload and it's going a lot lower.

LOL. This coming from a Newb account. LOL... Such clear insight..

Ohh wait, this happened a few time sin the past in this very thread. Hmmmm.... History repeating itself.. Geee....

Newb schools Hero member.  Lol.  Fail.

Blablabla End of the world.. Blablabla.. *wanker*

[Mrpumperitis]

Awesome accumulation period   
So many strong hands above $12...impressive

[roselee]

so what will happen ?

[noobtrader]

so what will happen ?

coin will be returned to DAO's whale and whale will return the favor by pumping eth to 1000 usd  just to make a statement

What a great article, I hope the etherium developers and etherium community take this onboard. And will serve to help those who are unsure about how things stand and possible outcomes. And the far greater scope not stopping a theft like this would incur. For those with some understanding having a simple etherium fork is such an easy, clear and absolutely has to be done known fact.

[jc12345]

Any hardfork that invalidates transactions destroys reputation and trust. Period. These two concepts are the cornerstone if you are trying to break into the financial big league.

If anther contract has a flaw tomorrow, who plays God that will decide who lives and who dies?

"There still seems to be confusion and misinformation about what an Ethereum hard fork actually means. Unlike Bitcoin, an Ethereum hard fork will not involve a wholesale rollback of the blockchain state. It will involve only a surgical strike to convert theDAO to a withdrawal only contract, allowing theDAO tokens to be redeemed for Ether. That’s it. It will not effect any other transaction history or balances."
This is what Andreas was talking about the other day.
