Can anybody direct me to the easiest to use* windows ethereum wallet or is the link below the correct one?

It seems to be the easy windows wallet, if you dont feel quite comfortable you could use some web wallet while a nicer gui wallet is created

Thanks. I am interested in cloud mining Ethereum but seem too noob to get a functioning wallet or finding a web wallet from a trusted source. Any suggestions?

I feel quite comfortable with bittrex wallet the only problem is the transaction fee is is 0.01, but if you need a wallet to send the mining rewards for sell in the market or few  transactions then it should be ok

Interesting. Ripple is at the top here, but it is the only one that lacks true decentralization. Ethereum might have a good chance of replacing Bitcoin, but at this time it is still uncertain. Another thing is that Litecoin and Ripple has nearly the same marketcap. Only time will tell which crypto currency (if not Bitcoin) will remain at the top.

As long as it's not dogecoin, we're safe.

84 dollar cents.. again. What is happening man.
ETH is the only coin going somewhere, with stellar.

Either ETH or XLM will win the battle for smart contracts. My bet is Stellar, but the ETH fanboys should be happy to come up no 2.

ETH is going up with relative to BTC but not against the USD. ETH is not doing too bad except that there is no news for the real value of ETH to increase at the moment.

I like the idea behind eth a lot but is it me or i the development lacking atm, or should they just update some more everywere? maybe a pr team

the youtube movies of devcon1 we know by now,

Should be enough info about development ;-)

Ether's price has gone lower staying on $0.84 yesterday. Now it only increased by 2 cents but it is still within the same price range. That is strange. But I do think that the price will start to go up once it gets to the Homestead release.

As for Stellar and Ethereum, they have pretty good concepts but in my opinion, I think that Ethereum will win (perhaps) due to all the hype that it has got into, not to mention that is was the third largest crowdfunding project in history. But the future is uncertain. Until then, it would be best to hold on to our Ethers and see what will happen in the next Homestead release. Just my opinion.

"...One particular interesting consequence is that with the current plan for Serenity, Ethereum will be optionally quantum-safe; if you are scared of the NSA having access to a quantum computer, and want to protect your account more securely, you can personally switch to Lamport signatures at any time. Proof of stake further bolsters this, as even if the NSA had a quantum computer and no one else they would not be able to exploit that to implement a 51% attack. The only cryptographic security assumption that will exist at protocol level in Ethereum is collision-resistance of SHA3..."

as I understand it, after the launch of Serenity , Etherium will contain protection against quantum attacks quantum computers and eliminates the need of additional add-ons for security and a manipulation of accounts is very interesting

So let me get this straight.. Does that mean the serenity release will be more secure against quantum computer attacks and the NSA as well? If that is the case, then I think it would be the safest decentralized network (apart from bitcoin) Just my opinion. Please correct me if I am wrong.

you need to ask the developers of the Etherium, so does the threat of monitoring personal, private, confidential data and whether they offer protection in a package with other protections, as a set of measures inherent in each subject )

I don't think any threat could be anticipated and neutralized by 100%, but attempts to protect themselves certainly led to good results in the course of evolution, can occur, although, from the point of view of cost and long duration of the process , not the result of expediency and it is this protection; while this seems not probable, but a necessity to keep my personal life still overpowers the attempts of control, I think, although
