Try an older catalyst version, such as 14.7.

This should solve your problem, if it doesn't try the different implementations of Ethereum. Also, try AlethZero and AlethOne to see if you are still having the same issues.
Good luck

Thank you

I appreciate your ideas (even though some can be argued in terms of feasibility)... but the uncomfortable questions are still left unanswered

The problem is we were reckless with our investments. Next time we try to create a new altcoin with an added feature, like adding a programming language on top of blockchain, we should take more control from the developers. The developers should be employees of us. You have to think of it as the public created Ethereum and it is ours. We control it.

Instead of giving money to people in exchange for a product, we should hire people for a certain time frame and end up getting what we get. We then need to figure out a plan to re-sign developers once the initial funds of gone. We need a way to dilute shares each year in order to pay for the next years bills. This would create an endless cycle or progress/work on the project. Computer programmers are notorious for going over budget and being late to deliver just like Ethereum did. The way Ethereum worked was not a good way. There should be no company. The public should be in control.


The developers should not be treated special. They should have to broadcast live all conference calls/discussions. The public should be able see any of the developers workstation screens.



Now that we have Ethereum. I think a lot of these new ideas I have proposed are more easily possible than before. We now have contracts where funds can be locked up and partially distributed to developers each day. This is getting pretty excited.

Converting itself isn't much of an issue, that's probably right. What is an issue is price fluctuations. Imagine one salary of, say, 4000$/month (I don't know how much the developers are paid, but I think this should be realistic). After you received your payment, price drops 10% (which is very realistic and more on the lower side of potential decreases).
400 bucks would just be gone. Would you accept your boss denying you 400 bucks, because the cryptocurrency he decided to use dropped in price? Most people wouldn't even accept 40 or even 4 bucks less, which is 0.1%.

Now imagine a decline of 20%*, and half of the rent I pay every month would be gone in an instant. I wouldn't want to explain to my family why I just gambled half our month's rent, just because of some altruistic ideas I have.
Would you still accept crypto as regular payment?


Also, I'm not exactly sure about what to say about the matter of the guys being penetrated to make their investments/financials public. I don't know if they're maybe legally obliged to do so. But speaking from the company I work in, I can definitely say that we're doing no such thing.
But sure, it's hard to compare an ordinary company to something like this, where investors and lots of foreign money are involved.


* plus the additional sell pressure which arises if all the developers need to cash out like what, 100000? more? each month to convert to fiat - the price would be close to zero in an instant!

Do you find it hard to sell cryptocoins for fiat? It's pretty simple once you learn how to do it.

The good thing about cryptocoins & businesses is that they are fully transparent. If Ethereum had paid everyone in cryptocoins then a computer script could produce all of the financial records. A computer could perform an automated audit on the finances every day. Everyone would know everything and we could see what went wrong.


Vitalik is said to be a genius and knows everything about cryptocoins. He didn't use much of their record keeping abilities. He must be covering up something.

This attitude is what annoys me - as a web developer by profession - most. How comes that so many people are thinking that all we do is playing Tetris all day long, just because our work implies the usage of a computer? We use our fuckin brains to work, and it's as much work as any other kind of work is work, too.

If you're working full time on a project, dedicating your time to it, and you have a fuckin family to feed at home. Would you accept any crypto currency to achieve that goal? Hell, I wouldn't even accept Bitcoin to make sure I have some food on the fuckin table at the end of each month.

You can rent miners for over a week now

Ethereum made it extremely hard to mine. You have to be a genius to mine this coin. You also can't rent miners for it yet.

Why this coin is still good for mining on daily basis

I thought the plan was to give these developers a huge 15% premine, in addition to a salary, so that they will want to continue to work on the project forever for free. It looks like we got screwed and they turned that 15% premine into a golden parachute. Cashed out and left us high and dry.

Next time we shouldn't invest in crowdsales of this structure. We better actually sign the developers from 3 to 7 year long contracts. That way we can sign them to a new contract if they perform well or we can fire them and hire knew people if they suck.  

Not entirely sure, but I believe the foundation and company are registered in Switzerland - therefore not unusual.

It's sad to see Vitalik uses Swiss Francs.

It's even more surprising to know the people who receive payments from Ethereum don't refuse to accept anything other than cryptocoins.

OMG  you must not be serious

The world's first decentralized raffle for 1000 ETH

We've seen the painful failures in the past when it comes to centralized markets. BitLotto anyone?

One.Thousand changes it all now. See the full release notes here as to why it all works and why it was made.

How it works

Tickets are bought through a contract that's provably fair and publicly auditable. Every thousand tickets, one is drawn at random and the winner receives 1000 ETH.

Why we're better

It lives on the freaking blockchain. The code is public. It's completely decentralized and that means complete transparency, immunity to DDOS, immunity to exit scams, and much more. It doesn't get better than this!

Pricing

1-4 Tickets: 1.150 ETH

5-9 Tickets: 1.100 ETH

10-24 Tickets: 1.050 ETH

25+ Tickets: 1.025 ETH

How do we decide who wins?

The winner is decided using three key elements:

1. A *server secret* of which the hash is revealed beforehand. We have 24 hours upon the termination of a round to reveal the server secret; otherwise everyone gets their money back.
2. A *client secret* which is updated each time a transaction is sent *within a round*. Once the round ends, this is set in stone.
3. The blockhash of the block following the round. This is also set in stone upon the end of a round.

We can't cheat you because we can't easily modify (2 and 3). You can't cheat us because you don't know (1). It's to our advantage to pay you to keep the contract running.

Where's the source code?

It's in the release notes.

**But we need you.** All of you. The price of Ethereum's been going through some tough times lately, and we need to show the world exactly what Ethereum can do that other cryptos can't. So let's show the world how to run a truly decentralized raffle with the best crypto around! Let's try to finish a round and make history.

If you're a blog writer or press, contact us on FB/Twitter/Email and we'd be happy to help in any way we can.

Im holding some ETH. This looks like a Longterm coin. Good work.

In an effort to promote full decentralization every programmer from ETH should have to work live at livecoding.tv

CHF - Swiss Franc

What is a CHF? No one here can answer that question.
