[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[rdnkjdi]

hello folks, is this price similiar to the real eutherum coin?

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethercoin/#social

 

Ethereum presale is closed.  That coin claims to be trading real ethereum coins - I wouldn't trust it.

Wait until it's released into the market and you'll know how much it is.

I believe with the price of bitcoin Etheres were about $.20 at the time of presale (2,000 ethers = 1btc)

If you are interested why Counterparty is not even a threat to Ethereum, here you are:

Anf if you understand what smart contract are trying to achive, do the math: Counterparty 10 minute blocktime vs. Ethereum 12 seconds blocktime.

it cannot be determined which will be better....anyone saying otherwise either has a crystal ball or is a lunatic. we just do not know what the developers have in store.

We don´t need a crystal ball. 10 minutes blocktime for smart contract is doomed from the beginning.
The real questions are: Is 12 seconds fast enough? Is it possible to achive instant transactions?

In my opinion the killer feature everybody is waiting for is instant transactions.

Ripple has almost instant transactions, and ripple labs is developing a smart contract system called Codius.

Who owns these?  How do we know theres' anything backing them up (much less that they'll actually redeem the keys if they do own them)

In theory someone could've put more of their coins in the market if they owned more ether than they originally created?  I'd stay far far away from this.

Isn't ripple just a SQL database of I owe U's?

It's had long enough to get consensus and they haven't.  Plenty of good technology but scammy economics.

Cheers and great response

For those who want to know if the Ethereum teams can keep the promise to start the main net this winter we opened a prediction market on it:

https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/ethereum-main-net-goes-live-before-spring-2015/

It is a market place where people can bet against each other. If you prediction they won't start the main net we try to find one how is willing to take the other side. Currently we have about 0.8 Bitcoin in open predictions and the likelihood is at 45%. If you think it is more likely you should predict "yes" - otherwise "no".

Will be interesting who wins in the end.
