[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

What is the safest way to store ETH coins?

Don't listen to trolls. They're butthurt cuz they're stuck holding a shit ton of near-worthless ETC. If there was no safe way, it wouldn't have 2nd highest market cap    

"Safest" way is debatable.  Cold storage is a preferred method, but so is a hardware wallet.  Hardware wallets are still being built specifically for Ethereum, but Ledger already supports Eth with some of their multicurrency hardware wallets:

What is the safest way to store ETH coins?

There is no safe way to store ETHF coins. Ethereum Foundation Central Bank can fork ETHF blockchain and confiscate your coins if they decide they don't like you. You'd better stay with your ETHC coins.

Nope. No single authority can do this.  It takes network majority to do such things.
Only ETC has ever supported a single group stealing coins: they supported the DAO hacker and let them confiscate all coins in the DAO.

With this most recent price rise I remembered that I participated in a revolutionary experiment -- the first trustless pyramid contract with ethereum .  So I was disappointed to see that www.ethereumpyramid.com is offline.  Anybody know if it is gone temporarily or if it's a permanent thing?

Coin Interview with Bancor Network  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ognx-LWCyfg

• The Bancor Network smart-contract-based protocol will begin on the Ethereum blockchain andwill be powered by “Bancor-Enabled Tokens” (BETs).
• A BET is an ERC-20 compliant smart-contract, which also holds one or more additional tokens in its reserve, at a pre-set“Constant Reserve Ratio” (CRR). The CRR can be set between 1 and 100 percent in total, such that the combined CRR of all reserve tokens cannot exceed 100%.

• There is now a technology of enormous potential in the relm of blockchain technology and crypto storage mediums such as IPFS (Inter-Planetry File System) or Ethereum’s Swarm storage system with which all parts to any car could potentially be looked up according to its VIN number, and every part number stored as an encoding of its actual physical specifications.

Brooklyn Microgrid, (with Ethereum tech) Lets Neighbors Trade Energy Among Themselves [New York Times]  
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/13/business/energy-environment/brooklyn-solar-grid-energy-trading.html?_r=1

• In a promising experiment in an affluent swath of the borough, dozens of solar-panel arrays spread across rowhouse rooftops are wired into a growing network. Called the Brooklyn Microgrid, the project is signing up residents and businesses to a virtual trading platform that will allow solar-energy producers to sell excess-electricity credits from their systems to buyers in the group, who may live as close as next door.
• Brooklyn Microgrid is trying to build a neighbor-to-neighbor green energy market using the Ethereum blockchain.

TrueBit Whitepaper Released  
https://medium.com/@chriseth/truebit-whitepaper-released-e308e11d005#.cc5r2flsd

• TrueBit has quietly gone through a major upgrade, and Jason Teutsch and I are pleased to finally announce the official TrueBit 1.0 protocol, available on our project webpage
• Practically speaking, smart contracts with TrueBit can execute C++ code without running up against Ethereum’s gas limit. TrueBit itself is simply a smart contract, which means that we don’t need to introduce a hard fork, a soft fork, or disrupt legacy smart contracts to achieve full computing functionality.

Come fill out a bracket and play March Madness on Ethereum!  
https://github.com/alex-miller-0/ethereum-march-madness

• Welcome to March, my favorite month! I love this month because here in America we host the best sports tournament on the planet - the NCAA Basketball Tournament (a.k.a. March Madness).
• 64 college basketball teams from all across America go head-to-head in a single-elimination fight to the top. Well, technically there are 68 teams, but I'll get into that later.
• The week before the tournament starts, it is customary here in America to fill out brackets with your predictions of who will win each game. It's a lot of picks (59 games) and the probability of guessing every game correctly is 1 in 2.4 trillion. Within a bracket pool (usually comprised of your friends and family), the person who picks the most winners is crowned the champion. There are many strategies ranging from picking your favorite teams to always picking the highest seed (usually a bad idea in big pools) to consulting a probability distribution. Which is the best strategy? Who knows.

Register Your Ethereum Names Now  
http://registrar.ens.domains/

• This app allows you to register a .eth domain name for use in ethereum decentralized applications (dapps) and compatible blockchain browsers.
• Names are not purchased. Each name registered requires depositing some amount of ether directly into its respective registrar contract for a minimum duration of one year, thus no central entity receives the funds. All ether deposited to contract deeds are then temporarily locked until the end of the auction.

Vitalik Buterin Discusses The New Viper Smart Contract Programming Language  
https://steemit.com/etc/@cseberino/ethereum-s-vitalik-buterin-discusses-the-new-viper-smart-contract-programming-language

• I recently discussed the Viper smart contract programming language with Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin. Viper should be exciting news for Python and Serpent programmers as it is similar to those languages. Viper promises more features and more protections than Serpent.
• One of many noteworthy examples is support for Decimal objects which are helpful for financial applications. Furthermore, Viper is implemented in Python 3. The same people that will want to use Viper can more easily help develop and maintain it.

Congrats to the 10k users @metamask_io! What a great way to start the week

Somebody here can give a more explanation about ENS. Does its service free for every user? I mean, if the effort to get.It will always be through the auction of the domain name?
I was feeling curious about how the auction works, it looks like everyone must pay more to get his domain.eth

i think pay is wrong term.. anyone who win the bid... his/her ether is locked in smartcontract for 1 years... and will be released back to him/her. For those who lost in the bid , he/she will get back his ether -0.5%fee (which will be burned) ..

It is not to be used, it is only for hype.

You are really boring with your trolling. Go to etc thread and pump yourself and other fools how great etc is and leave this one, you said xxxxxxxx times how you feel about eth, now you are like a broken record repeating yourself...

I truly truly hope it dumps a bit more! I'm looking for a new floor to get back in.

Have you tried posting in the etc thread? If you say anything negative, bitpop deletes it. Thus, he has nothing else better to do, as etc is dead now! lol  

I say let him troll here. All it does is show the true face of etc community to any new eyes looking in this thread

That is right. I have the same opinion. I will buy more when the price drops a bit.

Price will drop more than just a bit. There will be unlimited supply and cheap ETHF coins for everybody.

[LLec]

Haven't heard of ETHF or ETHC before. 

[Tyke]

A concise Ethereum history book is nearing completion.  Who is looking forward to its release?

Please follow us on Twitter @MrSilverCider

[IncludeBeer]

Haven't heard of ETHF or ETHC before. 

Only our resident etc trolls use those terms.  They're trying to make them stick (unsuccessfully, ever since the fork).  The rest of the entire crypto community knows Ethereum as ETH and Ethereum Classic as ETC.

Again, you can't put any stock in what the trolls spew 

[IncludeBeer]

Unlimited supply makes your bagholding dangerous!

Instead of zooming in on one particular point, tell the truth about the subject of supply.  How about being honest in your statements and put up the numbers for emission rate?  It really puts the whole "unlimited supply" into perspective.
