[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[jezus]

After fork can i chose token pos?

If they don’t stop Bitcoin, maybe Ethereum will accelerate faster. At the moment I am convinced that people are totally shifted to BTC. So that there will be an extra profit from the possibility of experiencing the same BCC event. The JP ends, the Chinese stock market starts. Perforce, If anything happens, everyone is trying to get away from the market. They do not know that they're safe.

I just bought 7ether 3 days ago for 0.5 btc. It wasnt a good timing but anyway i was thinking the same it will hit $500 after btc and eth fork.

I have no idea dude the only PoS coin im in is Nem , cuz i got a thing on my mind which is that 100th/s of ethash speed will had to move somewhere and it pump other coins soo high soo im like investing 500 USD for mostly ethases  , and starting mining EXP/UBQ with all my rigs , thats what on my mind after changing ETH to PoS , i think to do something like 5-20 bucks a day you will need like 100 ETH + but it depends what Ratio will they choose for it for some coins are 36% anually(soo 3% monthly of total ammount) for some are 10 annualy for other 50% etc etc.

Yes, it will happen next week, just search in the forum here or google it, there are dozens of posts to confirm.

Recent Ethereum Upgrade May Make WallStreet Fall in Love With Blockchain of ETH due to  the ZK-Snark, or Zero Knowledge proofs recently being enabled on the Ethereum blockchain following the network’s Byzantium upgrade, represent a new way to have both anonymity and immutability on a single chain. https://cointelegraph.com/news/recent-ethereum-upgrade-may-make-wall-street-fall-in-love-with-blockchain

Where do you think all this updates will flow the price?

500usd by the end of the year?

I am expecting more than 500$..
somewhere between 600-700$

Sooner or later will be hit this price. Ethereum is better than Bitcoin, people just need to wake up! ETH is just another platform that faces uncertain competition. It will hit new ATH, just need to keep patience.

Oh is that true?  That ETH is better than bitcoin?  But we see that the price of bitcoin is higher than ETH.

Market price is a very bad metric to judge quality of a coin by. That's especially true when comparing two coins, because they rarely have the same coin supply. In this case, the comparison has 0 value, because BTC is supply capped at 21 million. Eth is not supply capped, and in fact has an inflationary model. It also has ~5x as much circulating supply as BTC does right now: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/

Yeah you are right and the price of ethereum is always fluctuations, so do with others digital coins. The quality of ethereum based on the updates of Dev team is like this ERC725: A Self-Sovereign Identity Standard For Ethereum, This needs to be standardized so that other contracts can interact with real world identities, automatically check and verify them,”. “It’s not mainly necessary for interfaces alone. Also, this contract represents ONE identity. The addition of claims needs to be standardized, so that other identities can issue claims about each other.” https://www.ethnews.com/erc725-a-self-sovereign-identity-standard-for-ethereum I don't find something like this on bitcoins 

[hiramofTyre]

that price can't stay down at 0.61btc for long...
i don't understand that dip in the first place.
why are people selling ETH at this point?

It's not only eth that is dipping, all altcoins are having the same fate now because of the incoming btc gold fork this october too.  People are trading their altcoins for btc in the hope of having equal amounts of Goldbtc after the fork just like btc cash.

Now everything falls down on the threshold of the hardfork. Everybody was crazy on this idea. Everyone wants to get coins for free.

I think there will not be two chains. So only one coin.

[ivanpoldark]

Guys, perfect news for Ethereum fans and holders. I think we should expect some price pump very soon. This is a very good sigh for investors to trust their money into ETH.

[matsud2]

will it be safe and well if we keep our ether in the exchange wallet when hardfork happens?
or we need move to myetherwallet?

Yes, it is always secure until if you don't share your private key to the others. I think it is always safe in MEW as long as you hold your ETH.
Even myself storing my ETH in MEW without any problem.

thanks for your answer mate, but for now my eth on the exchange wallet and wait for the price going to the moon again

Yes it is good for ethereum's investors and it is like ethereum classic investment trust on ethereum classic ETC
I am sure the ethereum's price will be more expensive after ethereum first investment product opens trading nasdaq exchange
because it is more large of community ethereum than ethereum classic be added ETH start preparing for move from proof of work
 to proof of stake that will makes ethereum be better.

Welcome to the New Beginning

When the grand experiment that is bitcoin began, the anonymous wizard desired to test two parameters- a trustless, decentralized database enjoying security enforced by the austere relentlessness of cryptography and a robust transaction system capable of sending value across the world without intermediaries. Yet the past five years years have painfully demonstrated a third missing feature: a sufficiently powerful Turing-complete scripting language. Up until this point, most innovation in advanced applications such as domain and identity registration, user-issued currencies, smart property, smart contracts, and decentralized exchange has been highly fragmented, and implementing any of these technologies has required creating an entire meta-protocol layer or even a specialized blockchain. Theoretically, however, each and every one of these innovations and more can potentially be made hundreds of times easier to implement, and easier to scale, if only there was a stronger foundational layer with a powerful scripting language for all of these protocols to build upon. And this need is what we seek to satisfy.

Ethereum is a modular, stateful, Turing-complete contract scripting system married to a blockchain and developed with a philosophy of simplicity, universal accessibility and generalization. Our goal is to provide a platform for decentralized applications - an android of the cryptocurrency world, where all efforts can share a common set of APIs, trustless interactions and no compromises. We ask for the community to join us as volunteers, developers, investors and evangelists seeking to enable a fundamentally different paradigm for the internet and the relationships it provides.

Who is Behind Ethereum?

are you serious? bitcoin gold doesn't seem to have too much traction. no website and pretty sparse information available.
the downtrend on alts could come from the fact that there are simply too many. and people realize they can't all be successful.
