[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

Why should I invest in Ethereum?

It's good for day trading, has nice swings and good volume.

Thanks!  I will take a look.  Besides if it is since worth about $1US it is now or never if I want to make a great return.

You should invest in Ethereum if you see promise in its utility, not because of volume or trading.

ETH volume and price goin UP UP UP ....get ur ETH on exchanges now!!

Or mine it with 10% bonus on suprnova

please tell me how to mine in supernova ? i tried but failed...
please give me link so I can download the wallet and miner to start mining

Everything you should need is here:

Supernova used to be a big Ether pool. What happened to it so that it dropped out of the top pools, now it needs promotion to attract miners?

I've had some bigger DDOS Attacks over the last 3 weeks where the pool (and the stratums) was/were unreachable for quite some time which probably  drove quite some miners away. Also there was a fake hash attack vulnerability which lowered payouts for 2-3 days about 20% before it got detected (btw not just on my pool...), thats also a point for the current promo. Lastly miners tend to stick in "the biggest pool" and usually don't move out until the pool is unreachable (i.e. DDOS'es) so its quite difficult to get them move back even if you have higher payouts, bonuses, no fee, blinky blinky stratum proxy compatibility etc..

Eth traded more than $100000 on 24 hour volume today. Eth is getting a lot of adaption by new people daily. Anyone know more about Elephant over ethereum here? I heard that they're also launching a new coin over Eth. Even eth gets huge support outside, and trade volume is rising daily, the value seems not be rising that much faster than the volume. Hope to see Eth in the moon soon.

This is a very interesting fact and all of the things that are going onto Ethereum (like price rise and volume) make me think that it is just hype because the Homestead release is near, or I could be wrong? Maybe it has to do with Microsoft's Azure Blockchain as a Service Platform with Consensys that uses Ethereum technology.

I wanted to invest in ETH mining but I guess that I will have to wait until Genesis Mining maintenance is finished. I have seen rumors that mining reward will increase by 100% when we get to Homestead, but I don't know if it will really happen.

Why would you have to wait with mining ?

Why would you have to wait with mining ?

Because Genesis Mining is still in maintenance and I was going to purchase some ETH mining hashrate there. Unless there is another ETH mining service, then I could decide on which to invest. But it seems to me that the only one is Genesis by now.

There is still http://rigs.online but there is not much hash offered, also the site is still in beta.

It depends how much you are willing to pay per hash, you can probably also just rent some physical rigs from miners.

oc miner can i mine with my A2 Terminator Scrypt miner:)
i have 8x 110M ASIC mining..

unfortunately not, it's not scrypt, it's a keccak variant algo (dagger hashimoto) - you could mine in a multipool...

Hmm.. Is there a Multipool that pays out in ETH currently ??

[tolikkk]

there is a sense in creating a node for Ethereum and what is the payment and how to make it faster, but not, although they say that this is a very time consuming process ?

yes i believe that thet user could use Prohashing, as the are scrypt and pay in ETH

guys eth going into 0.003 very very sooon, sell if u want but dont expect to buy back cheaper....i hear the walls are gonna move up ....

[Mrpumperitis]

A mechanism is built into the Ethereum protocol to make PoW (GPU) mining insanely difficult sometime in mid-2016, which will force miners to switch to Proof of Stake if they hope to stay competitive.

The main developer for the proposed proof-of-stake algorithm (CASPER) is Vlad Zamfir. Radio interview: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3t2cph/vlad_zamfir_bringing_ethereum_towards/ Slide deck from DEVCON day 1: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bV_vXJBko-DmhAgnOFYg8ZNbAvCZCZrlf0KBFPqwVIw (The DEVCON day 1 video was removed by Youtube for some reason.)

macro MIN_DEPOSIT: 1500 * 10**18

macro MAX_DEPOSIT: 60000 * 10**18

https://github.com/ethereum/pyethereum/blob/serenity/ethereum/casper.se.py#L9

Minimum bonding stake size: 1500 ETH.

Guys,

I'm pleased to announce that we have added Ethereum coin. At the moment there's not much invested (~1200 ETH) but you can fix this and get some nice profits from start as we are the only casino which has Ethereum support.

Regards,
Alex.

Great news for Ethereum community.

I shall play devil's advocate, as is my want.
Ive heard tell that 1500 ETH is the min amount for staking rewards in the future of ETH PoS
Now people r talking PoS pools

My comment: this is bullshit and the "thin end of the wedge". It's a peer-to-peer system, right? no more "masternodes" in a dual-tier system, right?? FFS  

Comments? ty

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if 1500 is the minimum, would make sense given current supply.  POS pools will be popular because even with 1500 you will forge one block every year or so (using other POS coins as example).  I'm more interested in "when" ETH is switching to POS and how that will affect new supply as I'm assuming it will be a hybrid POW/POS for a while.

I was anticipating one more pump on that last rise... Oh well
