[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[cryptozeal!]

Big things start small for sure. Kudos to everyone who has pulled through from the early days with Ethereum and Vitalik.

National policy of continuous pressure, has been so that the new coins can not be hot chase, to return to the value of investment is the real way

Nobody cares about ETC..

no need, everything is good, the coin is followed by ETX, which takes care of all the issues of scalability

ETX and BTC is the icebreakers with the risk of getting a hole from the obstacles in the way, but ETC just follows the smooth path like litecoin

about litecoin nobody cared for a long time too

The recent price is very clear, I got a lot of profits, thanks to this a solid token

[raymankk]

What good news will there be in the near future? Will there be a new high price?

[vitocorp]

With $30 billion on the line, all eyes are likely to be on ethereum tomorrow as it seeks to navigate one of its biggest-ever updates.
Will all software users upgrade to the updated blockchain? Or will a new, competing token be created? That's exactly what the market is watching and waiting to see when etheruem hits block 4,370,000, scheduled to occur tomorrow at around 6:00 UTC at press time.
The first part of a larger, multi-part upgrade, the so-called "Byzantium" code will make the blockchain lighter and faster, paving the way for better decentralized applications (dapps), while also enhancing network privacy.
New features aside, however, ethereum developers are mostly optimistic about the upgrade. Although developers on the most popular clients have had to iron out a pair of bugs in the days leading up to change, there's confidence that the upgrade will be smooth.

the coin eth its good  its goineg to 400

Yes, fork is coming. This fork will come more good news. Just buy ETH and hold it, ether will fly soon.... HOLD LONG!

is the metropolis fork coming up this week? that is huge news not only for the price but also expected to clear txn times among other features

exciting!

Yes, it's knock at the door. I heard it just metropolis update, there no new coin will split. Hopefully, this gonna big achievement for us as we belief eth will hit a new ATH after this. just waiting to the moon!

nice news, hf will occur tonight ... are exchanges wallet safe ?

[molecularman]

I wonder what happened to this project?  It sounded interesting   




It's really interesting to read back through this and see the origin story of sorts.    Kind of like, man,  wish I had known about this stuff a few years ago.   I'm only comforted by the fact that we currently represent something like 1% of the population.   The crypto space has a ton more upside.

I think that the general consensus is it will hit tomorrow at around midday UTC and that unless you're mining etc you should be OK.

For example, My Ether Wallet should be handling any work from their end meaning we do not need to do anything. I would imagine the same for the exchanges.

Yeah sometimes it feels like I missed the boat but then again you ask the average person and even though they heard of crypto they don't necessarily trade innit or have a wallet etc. Really cool to read this origin story!

Just found this thread - actually goes back to the very beginning. Kind of exciting to be part of history in some way.

Is there anything you need to take care of for the upcoming hard fork of Ethereum? As far as I know there is no chain split with a second new coin, as for Bitcoint hard fork in August or the upcoming one.


Thank you in advance

How to triage your ethtrader machine (computer) for malware compromise

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/76efop/how_to_triage_your_ethtrader_machine_computer_for/


Recently I've been seeing a lot of posts on the various cryptocurrency subreddits I peruse about people losing cryptocurrency because their systems were infected with malware or that they think their systems may be compromised. Either way, it's helpful to be able to run a few tools, collect some data, and have an idea of what to look for so that you can get to the bottom of the issue.
I do digital forensics and incident response (dfir) consulting for a living and the question of 'Is this system compromised?" is something that I need to answer on a daily basis. I'd like to be able to provide the community with some quick how-tos on how to answer the question for themselves...............

Nope. As you said, there's no chainsplit.

So tomorow.
There should be some uptrend after that. I will buy some ETH.

[ashtheman]

Happy that there is no chainsplit. Too much uncertainty when there was one

Any price speculation on tomorrow updates..
hoping for another rally for 400$

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.
