is ethereum actually going to launch on the 20th and in what condition?

This could be fun........imagine a shitload of Eth investors who've never seen a command line trying to cash out without a GUI.
We may need to buy popcorn.

But, is this really gonna happen ? I can almost hear the screams of 'unfair' already.

If they have never seen a command line how can they sell?

How do you find out the command unless they tell you?  What if the steps are so complicated that most cannot follow through with it?

Seems like a setup intended because Ethereum already spent most of their money and they need to sell their free Ethereum on unsuspecting people but don't want competition from investors selling.  This is worse than Ripple's centralization.  

Remember folks - it was BTT that was warning the masses about Pay Coin (and Aurora long ago) and now we're warning you about Ethereum - consider yourself warned..

Even if the steps are simple, a lot of them are not going to try and will only wait for the GUI client. Its a simple yet brilliant plan, artificially create a shortage and the developers can sell at high prices due to the hype.

Top 100 addresses control 45.7% of all Ether.  Addresses =/= people...

LOL! You seem to use the same template to spread FUD about all cryptocoins!

You are smarter than I thought, it's really handy to have

Code:

Top ... addresses control ...% of all ....  Addresses =/= people...

and then just fill the gaps.

There's an opportunity for a little profit there.  You should be happy.

concerning ethereum is the technology functioning?at what Price will they sale ethers or ethercoin?

[EvilDave]

What's even harder to believe is people bought ethercoin at several times ether ico price. Buying from scammers who "promise" coins from original scam. Does it get any dumber than that?

Yeah, and just to drive the point home a bit....EtherCoin is NOT Ethereum.
The EtherCoin devs claim to hold enough Ethereum to backup their token, but whether they do or not is a big question.
One that may be answered pretty soon....

TaunSew is a real piece of work isnt he.  Pretty much every altcoin I own some of, he has called a scam.

My new rule is that if TaunSew ever declares a coin to be a scam, and that coin appears to be a real project with a community and ongoing development work, then I am buying that coin.

There are opportunities for profits all over, so it is nothing new. Take NXT and DOGE for instance, they are wonderful cash cows and are always either pumping or dumping.

Just because you made money on a coin does not mean it wasn't a scam.   There were people who also made money on Aurora and Paycoin and all the scam $hitcoins out there.


Bitshares many times now have changed their core mechanics to benefit themselves and to screw over their adopters.  Heck even before there were "adopters", they screwed over hundreds of people on how they determined to take a snapshot of the old PTS!   BTS has been making those sort of blunders since the beginning.   Then the regular unethical lies they make regarding their pegged assets ("safer than a Swiss bank account", lol).  

 What do we call that if we can't use the word scam?     The Larimer Lieimer Money Tree?    Lieimer funbucks machine?

so did ethereum actually launch yet? wasnt the 20th supposed to be the day?

I did not see any breaking news about it. So I guess it was not that impressive or... something went wrong. To be honest I am amused by optimism of some people towards this launch. It is nothing special really.
