I also have another question, and that is what be the cheapest GPU for me to get started mining some Ether? As I'm new GPU mining (and also my budget) I would like to get started with a cheap but decent GPU to mine some Ether. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Smiley

Where can I find a beginner's guide to developing my own dapps in Ethereum? I can see that Ethereum is very complicated (one of the complications is it's command line wallet) so it would take me some time to study and get used to it. I own plenty of Ether, but I'm afraid I don't know how exactly it is used for. Sorry for my ignorance, but I would like to get more into this.  Smiley


Google the Serpant language and it will lead you onto the right path....smile...don't get lost!  Also google "Mist"...New DApps are coming out everyday....Watch the Devcon stream tonight and take some notes....there's plenty of good insight provided there.

I too am a little confused as to what exactly Ethereum does and found this post helpful to some extent. I understand that Ethereum is fuel for projects, but why is it of tradable value? It has programmable language that can be used for apps, but could this not be duplicated at little cost?

Is it a bird, is it a plane, or is it Supercoin?

Well, Ethereum is a platform that provides decentralized turing capabilities and ether is the currency that provides the incentive to secure the chain.  Ethereum and ether are not the same thing and that's why ether is traded on the markets, it's the "gas" that drives the Ethereum platform.  Ethereum is an amazing new platform that's still in its early stages....I can't even imagine the innovation Ethereum will produce. It will make things possible that we've only been able to dream about....it's that large!



It's an altcoin with the added feature of storing "code/language" that can be executed later. It's a really cool idea. The code is better than bitcoin but still not good enough to scale.

I'm expecting myself to be bag holding this coin for like 10 years before it's something useful for billions of people.

Okay, re-visit this post next year and give an update on how you feel about the idea of smart contracts at that time.  There are already several D'Apps utilizing the concept and more are being created everyday.  Don't miss out!  Don't be the one spending all your hash on a couple of pizzas because you failed to recognize the potential of the technology!

It looks like the 50 yr old genius is way smarter than the 19 yr old genius. Who would have thought...

"The notion of contracts in Ethereum is essentially dead." Greg Meredith.

Not a good sign for anyone invested in the current Ethereum contracting system:

Good thing I didn't spend much time learning that stupid serpent or whatever they called it language.

What is Ethereum doing with our money? Penthouses, drinks and lobster of course. LOL

I don't know.  Microsoft is so unpredictable....Since when has Microsoft been a fan of decentralization?  Their history has always taken the opposite position.  They try to license everything they get their hands on (everything), they've been mining our data for years (see their T and C's), they monopolize technology (internet explorer, etc....) , they steal other's technology (windows,  etc....), and they do their best to kill technologies that rival their own (Apple, Unix, etc...).  It bothers me that Microsoft has their greedy paws in on this project.  They're liars and cheaters and they've never played fair.

Hmmmmm. I'm thinking of going long.  Roll Eyes And not on margin, but as an investment. (Always chuckled when someone says that in this space). But that demo on how easy it was

to write a smart contract, really made me think of the possibilities. Bought in at 25 the other day and was going to sell, but my gut... the same gut that told me to buy the ipo, is

now telling me to hodl. I have been baghodler free for over a year now, but I think I just fell off the wagon.

Is there an android wallet?

I don't think so but I think that it will probably be released after the official GUI wallet for PC. An android wallet for Ether would certainly be a great idea as it would attract a wealth of Android users from around the world, and thus this will result in mainstream adoption.  Smiley


Yes I do agree. A beautifully polished Android app would be a great addition to the already impressive Ethereum platform.
