I'm sorry, but i do not understand. "PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED YOUR WALLET AND ENSURED THAT THE .JSON WALLET FILE (ethereum-wallet-.json) IS ON YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE YOU SEND ANY BTC." How can ensure that i have downloaded my wallet and ensured that the .json wallet file is on my computer before i send any btc, if i get it in the email? Nobody has the same problems Hello Trunzo, sorry you are having problems. You can download your wallet on Step 5, ahead of purchasing with BTC. Think of the wallets as gift cards. At first, you can get the giftcard but not 'load it'. Once the BTC is transferred the card is loaded. The reason we had to make the wallet downloadable early on in the process is because the blockchain.info API could go down (it's outside our control). In which case the BTC would be transferred, the wallet loaded, but the last screen would not appear. Making the (empty) wallet downloadable early on, it helps prevent this (potential) issue. How it all works is explained on: https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/07/09/how-to-make-a-purchase-in-the-ether-presale/If you still need help, please email helpdesk@ethereum.org, which is manned 24/7. Thank you very much, I'll try it again After buying, all i need is the emailed backup file! I will store them on a usb! Is that right?

Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't ether the fuel for the blockchain application tool? I'm not sure the price of ether is relevant.. but what can be done with it is..

Ok, can I just send the BTC to your BTC address and you confirm the funds + tell me when someone took the opposite side?
OK... I will PM you a fresh BTC address. Anyone who wants to bet against TwinWinNerD needs to PM me. Thanks. I will only bet 0.2 BTC, so you guys need to figure out who takes that action, I don't really care who!

Bought 10k ETH.
Probably best thing I've done after discovering XBT.

You can mine, yes. OK thx And when will ether mining will be possible ? I suppose still weeks or months left? I don't really know what to do.mine just btc. Try mining altcoins like this one. ... because this altcoin is not going to start from "0" I mean, they already selling ether. So what will be difficulty when mining becomes available ?. Do you think it's worth it to try to mine this altcoin ?

There is no max. It's based on percentage. More initial purchaser, more coins.

Can someone from the Ethereum Team, or ETHSuisse, please explain the rationale behind liquidating the company that would have just created Ethereum, shortly after the Genesis block? ref: page 3 of 32 of the T&C of the Genesis Sale The Ethereum Platform is being developed primarily by a volunteer contributor team -- many of whom will be receiving gifts of ETH in acknowledgement of their dedication -- and will continue to be developed on a volunteer basis by some developers as well as under a more formalized contracting or employment relationship for other developers. The group of developers and other personnel that is now, or will be, employed by, or contracted with, Ethereum Switzerland GmbH (“EthSuisse”) is termed the “Ethereum Team.” EthSuisse will be liquidated shortly after creation of genesis block, and EthSuisse anticipates (but does not guarantee) that after it is dissolved the Ethereum Platform will continue to be developed by persons and entities who support Ethereum, including both volunteers and developers who are paid by nonprofit entities interested in supporting the Ethereum Platform. Giga, my young padawan. You have to understand the nature of the Ethereum. First, Ethereum and Ether. Then, Vitalik EthSuisse. Hookers! Booze! Bitcoin Collector's Party!

I was very optimistic about the IPO but now I have some doubt about how many people gonna really use the ethers.
The idea bitcoin was very simple as a currency and had a big success since you can buy almost everything paying by Bitcoin now. BTC had plenty adopters (mostly speculants) because of simplicity and the fact that you have decentralized money flow
On the other hand ethers isn't a currency but is a fuel for developers who can write applications and people who gonna use that applications spending ethers to perform actions. To estimate the real value of ethers I would need to know how many ethers need to be spend to build the app how much the actions costs. If each user have to spent 1 ether to fuel a contract I think it has no big potential to incerase the price of ethers because using them may become to expensive and it may really slow the development. The fuel supose to be cheap to make the economy efficient. Actually the vaule of ethers needs to be very stable to make it even usable.

I forgot to account for bitcoin transaction fee when i purchased what I thought was an even number of ethereum just now, how about picking that up old buddies old pals? edit: If the developers have earned a large portion of the IPO, even though the corporate structure dissolves the personal long term investment remains - smooth move.

This is definitely over priced, Im not sure what they are thinking. 1 btc for 2k ethereum = 1 eth at 50K sat. At the current buy rate we will see around 600 Million buys. To be conservative lets say 200 Million token buys. I also asked in irc if there was going to be a cap and the answer was no. So I have no clue how buying into ethereum now is better vs mining or buying later. Right now crypto is so volatile that 5 months is an eternity at this rate I don't see how it will hold its value. BlackCoin already has smart contracts and black halo with a cap of 69 Million coins Pos, current price 14k sat per coin/token. Im pretty sure projects will develop that will challenge ethereum making it tuff for the token values to sustain for a long period of time. If anyone has more updated info than me as to why the value will grow on the tokens than by all means, open to other views. As an investors this whole entire project is way to complicated for me to understand what Im investing in and what my return will be if any in comparison to other exciting projects like blackcoin or vericoin that also have block chains were people could build on top of
