Hello guys,

I am ready to play with Mist wallet. I am fairly new to the Bitcoin community and completely new to the Ethereum.

Would someone be kind enough to share 1 ETH so I can test the wallet out.

Thanks!

I would, but I don't want to be that guy 4yrs down the line when people bring up this post and say...."here's the guy that sent someone $450 of ETH just for the heck of it"   Grin Wink
check his last posts for a giggle

What's so funny about my last posts? I had 1 Bitcoin that I got as a present a year ago and I decided to sell it since I needed money badly. I don't get it? Could you enlighten me please what's so wrong about that?

About my request for 1 Eth, I don't have any crypto at the moment but I would like to invest some in the near future when I will be more financialy solvent. Until then, I am downloading and testing different platforms. For the most of the coins out there, there is a faucet except for Ethereum. For the ones that there are no faucets, asking community for a dollar worth of their coins was never a problem. I got sent NXT by their community and BTS, etc.. Now I thought that there will be the same thing with Ethereum community.

I hope I was not wrong. So would someone be kind enough to send me that one Eth, since I can't even register an account in Mist without having no coins.

Thanks everyone!

but you're selling 1 BTC (your first post)Huh
you have 1 BTC or?

Buy ETH on market

It has been sold mate! If I had any BTCs I would buy that 1 ETH.

Anyone have any experience creating their own cryptocurrency (tokens) using the Ethereum platform? We are considering creating a cryptocurrency tied to our IOS app in development (see: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/im-tech-impaired-but-in-charge-of-spearheading-development-of-an-altcoin-1319773) and are looking for a simple way to do so.

ETH bout to be 1:1 with US Dollar!   Grin

If the Eth price breaks $1, will it rise further? I do not trade Eth/USD. So the dollar price is irrelevant. The Eth/BTC price matters.

Well, to some the Market Cap is a very important statistic to "jump" into a type of technology/business/investment/etc.  Roll Eyes

Based on what I have read in this article, there will be good stuff coming into Ethereum in this year. Especially, Microsoft which has been using Ethereum for its Azure platform.

I like this part specifically:

Quote
So while Ethereum, which is presently capable of 25 transactions per second (TPS), is not in danger of bumping up against difficult scaling issues soon, it will be able to handle many TPS with Ethereum version 2.0 – levels comparable with the Visa and American Express networks.

Once this occurs, we can expect technology giants like IBM to use Ethereum as the backbone to their Internet of Things platforms.

If Ethereum could reach the goal of handling many TPS, I have no doubt that it will rival VISA and Mastercard very soon.  Cheesy

Yeah I have about $1500 to invest this coming Feb been keeping my eye here I'm prolly gonna do like $1000 into BTC and $500 into ETH.  I'm in my 30's Live in the US and only invest in crypto.  Wall street is going down or at the very least going to convert over and start using crypto. It's going to be an exciting 2016, BTC already up 7% and China already selling 14% of there stock market in 2 days.  Should have been more but you know governments.. . . .

2016 the year of cryptocurrency gaining more mainstream attention!

I'm wondering if anyone has any price predictions for the coming year?  I believe BTC will double in price this year with the hashing rate halving.  I think that is a sure bet.  However I love the fact that ethereum is completely different, sounds very promising, love the world's computer tag line and everything else. 

Does the community (you guys) think the price of ETH will go above $2 USD per ETH this year?  I watched it go from nearly 50cents to $1 this past year.


Well, first of all the hashing rate isn't halving, the block reward is halving.  So understand what that is before price predicting.  If the devs deliver on half of what they say for ETH, I can see it easily at $2-3 this year.

just think.....the bottom is over with ....i don't see it in anyway going back down to lower than .80cents....so only way is up.  Why not invest 2-3hundred dollars now? to me that is a very very very low risk with great reward

Simple question and maybe this has been addressed someplace else, but from what I've been reading Ethereum will eventually allow anything to serve as a tradeble currency or "token" within the Ethereum ecosystem. So what is the purpose of the Ethereum currency itself (Eth)?

Say for example I'm a company and I want to issue shares. I want to do it simply with a friction-less system (i.e. instant with minimal fees) that allows me to issue or transfer shares easily, and publicly verify ownership. Based on Ethereum I can simply create shares from nothing and issue them within Ethereum. All the share holders have to do is prove they own an address which contains shares that I've created. Those shares would not exist outside of Ethereum but who cares? The point is just to have a publicly verifiable ledger that shows who owns what in my company. In this scenario I would have no need whatsoever for Eth, but I'm still using Ethereum. How would that work?

Edit - I've been thinking about it and the only thing I can think of is that Eth is what will be used to pay fees to support the entire Ethereum ecosystem. Using my previous example say there are a bunch of companies issuing shares. They have each created a token that is unique for their company. But now somebody wants to transfer some shares, which would require a small fee. Well what do you pay the fee in? tokens? Whose token? I think by providing an underlying base level currency (Eth) the developers will be able to get around this. Which would mean all fees are paid in Eth, but whats actually being transferred could be anything. Am I on the right track here?

How do your regulate the share issue system and protect investors? I think for investors, safety is the most important.

This is the point I was getting at. There is nobody to enforce any rules on how a token can be used, atleast not that I've seen. I think this will be a large avenue for abuse. Sure if I was a legitimate company or any other entity I would want to make sure everything is compliant and I'm not knowingly breaking any laws (I say knowingly because here in the US its incredibly easy to break an obscure law without even realizing) But what if I'm not a legitimate company, or just a bored scammer?

So we need authority like the US SEC, which regulates the US stock market at the moment. Maybe US SEC will use blockchain or Ethereum to issue shares.
