Mr. Pumpertis please explain since you seem to be such a knowledgeable person  .

 But he seems to know much about ETH.

hi ray
....
afaik, this is the only way to participate in slockit as they will not be doing any form of ico/ipo/crowdsale.

Thanks for the explanation, it is interesting but there does not seem to be enough or clear incentives to exchange ETH for tokens.  By the amount of ETH sent to the DAO one would assume that people expect the tokens to have a higher value than ETH.

I have a couple of questions:

AFTER the 28 days is the ETH sent back automatically or do I have to do a solo split?
If I do a DAO split will I still have "representative reward tokens"?
What are "representative reward tokens?
What advantages have real tokens vs ·representative reward tokens.
Many more questions but this should help me understand.

lots of learning for us all m8, so much happening and not enough time to learn.
 heres alot of answers to most of your questions and alot more..https://forum.daohub.org/t/how-do-we-get-our-eth-back-from-dao-tokens/749/7
 and more https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/4ibcgg/reward_tokens_meaning_do_i_really_have_control_on/
over the next few days i will be changing around 50% of my ETH to DAO ....ill prob end up buying more ETH after that anyways ,lol

[Mrpumperitis]

im curious about the timing of Gemini adding eth, 2months before halving? Im thinkin why not after? maybe because they see the low btc volume now and know people that want to buy before already have and not many people are willing to pay over $500/$600...maybe they even expecting a huge btc dump soon.
Now if i owned one of these huge btc only exchanges i would risk losing alot of customers to fiat and them leaving crypto, so it makes sense to add another asset that customers could escape to when btc is looking shaky.
im thinking btc will pump a bit then big dump, get ready to see blood on the charts sometime next month.

Hi, guys! When I open Mist it has very slow sync. I am still not able to sync and it has been hours. Can I download the whole blockchain from somewhere?

yea but i needed it for the dao...jax is excellent though

I use Jaxx and bought DAO with it, it's not actually supported right now but it will before the creation including voting feature as the developers recently said in Reddit so if you want to use it I think you'll be fine.

Listened to the show. Glad that "the DAO" and Ethereum is getting attention in the media and helping spread the word.
Just the fact that over 3 million ETH has currently been invested in "The DAO", or close to $USD 30 million is newsworthy in itself!

How long will that 3 million Ethereum be locked? How can you get your Etheruem back after you invest in the DAO?
