[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[corather]

Hello guys, is there any chance to get back my ether, that got stolen from me from Mist Wallet. I think due to an trojan.

Sometimes if it winds up on an exchange, they can help.

I wouldn't hope for it. Sorry mate. I've being in your shoes. Nothing helped. Just move along and learn your lessons.

never in the proof of work phase.

the reward structure will likely be modified upon proof of stake implementation though.

Yeah this is correct, Ether roadmap is not determined, but from Vitalik interview, Ethereum should move to POS by the beginning of 2017. which would suppose to rise the price of Ether since there will no longer be 18 millions coins produced yearly but only 0-2 millions.

The PoS costs less than the PoW, so the price of the Ethereum might drop after it becomes pure PoS.

Everyone load up enough at the low 20s?

Hi guys,

As I see an even brighter future for computer malware (Linux, OSX and Win), my paranoid self is thinking about storing 90% of my ETH on a cold wallet.
I wonder who shares the same feeling and got his/her ETH already on cold storage. Please share some options if you don't mind. I'm thinking of using a paper wallet (https://ryepdx.github.io/ethaddress.org).
Thanks

Not enough, I wish to load up in the low 10s. The price is still too high for me to load comfortably.

I don't see it as a "usable option" (I don't mean that it is useless, just, too inconvenient, impractical ) I have several BTC in my wallet, I have an offline backup of the entire blockchain including the wallet file.
the wallet file is encrypted with a long and complex password that i can remember
the long and complex password is written in a piece of paper (just in case i ever forgot it) and stored in a safe of a bank.
and, the "online" Wallet is on a separate hard drive with a complete instalation, so if I need to transfer BTC, i remove my hard drive, put the drive of the wallet and load that OS, since that OS only is used for the wallet, nothing else, i never browse the web or anything, it is absolutely impossible that someone can capture my typing when i enter my password in the wallet.
you can do the same with the ethereum wallet.

I friend of mine directly has a notebook specifically for the wallets, and it does not use it for anything else.
another friend of mine, has the wallets in a vmware virtual machine, totally isolated from the rest, but in this case i think that a malware in the physical machine, can still record the keystrokes, so.... not sure how effective that could it be.

there is nothing better than complete isolation when it comes to security.

Is there a nice schematic explaining the difference between all Crypto 2.0s: ETH, Lisk, NXT, Ripple, etc? Is there any 2.0 coin I can seriously stake (delegate staking is not a real option)?

Interesting, thank you.

This is very interesting. But keeping your wallets in a dedicated laptop isn't secure. What if the laptop breaks up?

That´s the reason for the offline backup on a USB WD PASSPORT hard drive in case something happens to the notebook.
I sync to the USB HDD once a month, so I can keep a fresh and updated copy of the blockchain because with my slow-as-fuck internet connection is a pain to update 1 month of blockchain (full wallet) hehe.

EDIT: oh I forgot, every 6 months I include the wallet.dat in a full machine backup on bluray, so even if the notebook breaks, and i lose the WD passport , I still have several copies of the wallet.dat 2 each year in bluray backups, offsite.

I use an encrypted VM image of Windows (running within OSX).   That VM is regularly backed up to multiple locations and all wallets all use secure passwords.   I also have a separate backup of just the encrypted wallet files for each coin on a USB.    (With time capsule, the backup part is not a pain)

I feel this is secure enough.  When I need to vote or move coins I fire up the VM.   

This has worked well for me for the past 3 years without any issues.

My wallet is currently stuck on block 1,545,550, and I'm only connected to 1 peer. On Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5. Can anyone walk me through what to do to reset my peer data, or point me in the right direction if it's already been discussed? Thanks!

EDIT: Ah well no shit... I should have checked my wallet version before posting this I was on 0.7.3. Updated to 0.7.4, and of course that fixed the problem. Carry on; nothing to see here, folks!

I dont know what is with these wallets. I think it would be time that ethereum team makes a wallet that would work !

There is no Etheruem dump. The price is still over $13. Maybe the bitcoin price is lower, it is just 0.026.
