i'm guessing the .dat file is the wallet file i need to back up like i would BTC or DASH etc?
thanks in advance

Well, in Ethereum to make a backup of your wallet, all you would do is go to your appdata directory (if you are on Windows) and save the Keystore directory. After you have copied the Keystore directory to some place safe like an external HDD or a pendrive, you will have your wallet fully backed up as the Keystore directory contains the public and private keys. Hope this helps. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong.  Wink

I only back up the files within the Keystore memory, the long file name ones, is that right?
Yes this is correct file , where a long line and where the date of creation and address
take it and save it along with the recorded password in a convenient place, but so no one found out but you didn't miss anything

Is it just me or did c-cex.com open Ethereum trading market ?!! I like them because no issues with KYC etc unlike other platforms for fiat (my personal belief of how crypto should be !) + almost real time support which makes it an awesome combo. Can anybody else see the market there ?

Ive been following ethereum for a long while now and it is indeed quite a complex system. I have been trying to adapt it for an academic project. Problem i have for the moment is understanding a bit more about writing contracts. Ive also been looking at eris etc. Id probably like to fork my own at some point and really mess arojnd. Will keep reading. If anyone has some good info to help me out regarding assets, planning, management etc hit me up!

I only back up the file inside the keystore folder. If I copy the file to another computer, I can send money from there.

This is a great initiative from this London startup. It will definitely bring more interest to people out there who don't know what Bitcoin is, and how it works. This will make a positive trend towards mainstream adoption. And the best part is that is powered by the Ethereum platform. A clever way to spread awareness of crypto currencies.  Grin

"...One particular interesting consequence is that with the current plan for Serenity, Ethereum will be optionally quantum-safe; if you are scared of the NSA having access to a quantum computer, and want to protect your account more securely, you can personally switch to Lamport signatures at any time. Proof of stake further bolsters this, as even if the NSA had a quantum computer and no one else they would not be able to exploit that to implement a 51% attack. The only cryptographic security assumption that will exist at protocol level in Ethereum is collision-resistance of SHA3..."

as I understand it, after the launch of Serenity , Etherium will contain protection against quantum attacks quantum computers and eliminates the need of additional add-ons for security and a manipulation of accounts is very interesting



So let me get this straight.. Does that mean the serenity release will be more secure against quantum computer attacks and the NSA as well? If that is the case, then I think it would be the safest decentralized network (apart from bitcoin) Just my opinion. Please correct me if I am wrong.  Smiley
you need to ask the developers of the Etherium, so does the threat of monitoring personal, private, confidential data and whether they offer protection in a package with other protections, as a set of measures inherent in each subject )

I don't think any threat could be anticipated and neutralized by 100%, but attempts to protect themselves certainly led to good results in the course of evolution, can occur, although, from the point of view of cost and long duration of the process , not the result of expediency and it is this protection; while this seems not probable, but a necessity to keep my personal life still overpowers the attempts of control, I think, although

84 dollar cents.. again. What is happening man.
ETH is the only coin going somewhere, with stellar.

Either ETH or XLM will win the battle for smart contracts. My bet is Stellar, but the ETH fanboys should be happy to come up no 2.

Ether's price has gone lower staying on $0.84 yesterday. Now it only increased by 2 cents but it is still within the same price range. That is strange. But I do think that the price will start to go up once it gets to the Homestead release.

As for Stellar and Ethereum, they have pretty good concepts but in my opinion, I think that Ethereum will win (perhaps) due to all the hype that it has got into, not to mention that is was the third largest crowdfunding project in history. But the future is uncertain. Until then, it would be best to hold on to our Ethers and see what will happen in the next Homestead release. Just my opinion.  Smiley

ETH is going up with relative to BTC but not against the USD. ETH is not doing too bad except that there is no news for the real value of ETH to increase at the moment.

I like the idea behind eth a lot but is it me or i the development lacking atm, or should they just update some more everywere? maybe a pr team

the youtube movies of devcon1 we know by now,

Should be enough info about development ;-)
