**** Official Ethereum QA thread ****

[Asian Prepper]

In this 4th video interview with Vitalik Buterin, I will hammer him with some tough questions on why potential investors should trust him and his Ethereum team members to not run off with everyone's money & do they have the talent needed to make Ethereum successful.

Is there somebody who can tell me now the date of the Pre-sale or IPO?

We won't issue further comments regarding the Ether Sale, until we have completely finalized the framework for it. In the meantime enjoy the free technology, people are already building apps on it, which is exciting Smiley

1. Will Ether mining start with CPU mining as was the was the case for Bitcoin ?

2. Will it be required for miners to hold Ether to mine more ? I mean is initial buying is mandatory for miners ?

3. Multiple contracts will be made on top of Ethereum with the course of time. Will all those be mined under a single blockchain or individual contracts will have individual chains ?

4. I'm interested in developing/testing Ethereum before it's release. Can I download the client and join the network now ?

I shot this video of my friends and I discussing the differences between Ethereum Vs. Bitcoin Vs. NXT the night before I had to speak at the Texas Bitcoin Conference.

We tried to keep the discussion as non-technical as possible so it will benefit everyone:

ursium,

what are the differences between ethereum, nxt and ripple?  and what are the pros and cons of each?

[Calabi–Yau Manifold]

Is this main thread about Ethereum at this forum?

[Vinnie Stanley]

Is it safe to use the wallet version that is on github, although it is a beta release?

Recognizing the rapid development of Ethereum in terms of market, user and customer base, the popular TV show Silicon Valley introduced Ethereum to its large target audience as an important decentralized network and technology needed to develop a new generation of internet And community of useful applications.

Hi, I installed Ethereum Wallet for Windows, and it's stuck after 1% downloading blocks.
Same after restart, and run as Administrator.
I have the latest version of software 0.8.10.
I would appreciate help

I found a way to transfer my funds to another account. I created a backup of my mist wallet and used json file to send eth to another wallet using https://www.myetherwallet.com

What would stop Eth from becoming skynet?

[Bambulee]

How much GWEI must pay for a confirmation under 10 min?
40? 50? 60?

I don't understand how to keep the wallet synced. It took forever to sync, but I thought that was just the initial syncing. A few days of not syncing and I'm at 4,172,778 of 4,184,728, and it uses as much as 2500 MB of the memory and 12 MB/s of the disk. Please advise.

Thats an irksome topic. I havn't used my wallet for almost 5 month. Now it is syncing for several days with the progress that I downloaded 80,000 of 540,000 blocks. Running the sync for 6 hours gives me 2% ... sorry, but this sucks. Especially, that you should transfer coins only, befor the whole chain is synced. When it synced finally, I am going for a cold storage or the paper-wallet. And then I will delete this piece of everlasting frustration immediately ...

[princespiglet]

I'm pleased so far with Eth development, particularly teh onboarding of developers and growth of ecosystem.

I didn't like the developers' embrace of some ICOs, particularly more questionable ones - is there the possibility of having some code of conduct for those employed by ethereum about their role in erc20 coins? Maybe regulators by stepping in solve this themselves.

Raiden Release: Simpler Micropayments Go Live on Ethereum's Testnet

The developers behind Raiden Network have launched an early version of the scaling solution on the ethereum test network.

Designed to power projects aiming to replace the likes of Google and Facebook, one problem facing ethereum is that growing to such scale would require putting an unimaginable amount of data on the blockchain, a shared ledger every node must download. Further, ethereum is already having enough trouble supporting the relatively small number of users it has today.

As such, Raiden Network has emerged as one piece of the scaling puzzle, aspiring to allow more and potentially cheaper ethereum transactions. Though Raiden Network has released a flurry of updates recently, the project is still a work in progress.

In the meantime, the developers have launched a testnet version of a new product, µRaiden (pronounced "micro Raiden") – a simpler version with fewer features that is almost complete.

In short, rather than route payments through a network of nodes, µRaiden allows users to make micropayments directly between each other. Further, the payments work in just one direction.

The project's introductory blog post argues that, while simpler, µRaiden offers a form of payment channels requested by some decentralized apps (dapps), such as for news and storage.
