At least the shilling and sockpupets, the constant $5 nonsense of the high school student is gone from here.
As I said, I am a long time supporter of the Ethereum project, but the pathetic shilling in this thread does no good for Ethereum.
Regarding IBM's ADEPT, that subject is quite frequently appears in this thread, especially the under 16 community members like to quote that when they envision the $5 price, go to the GadgetCoin thread and you can get a better picture what Internet of Things and ADEPT is, what is feasible terms of the blockchain, smart contracts and IoT, etc.

Maybe you should show me one post of yours without your gadget/tile-shitcoins shilling.
There is no shilling from my part - I enthusiastically support innovative projects. I am one of the most vocal supporters of Ethereum for a year and nobody promoted more Gavin Wood's white paper, nobody said more complementary comments about Gavin's and Vitalik's work than me as well as I support other innovative projects like Skycoin and GadgetCoin.
As for your shitcoin comment, the three coins (Ethereum, Skycoin, GadgetCoin) I support are original developments, these coins haven't forked/copied any code from Bitcoin, and therefore they aren't shitcoins. Regardless of that, my pointer about IBM's ADEPT is quite spot on, anyone knows that who understand what IoT software is. My point was that Ethereum is a fantastic project, and the meaningless and baseless hype about IBM does more harm than good for Ethereum by creating unnecessary disappointments (as there is nothing happening with ADEPT).
This is the Ethereum thread and nobody wants to hear something about other random coins. Especially if you compare your tiny little projects with something as big as Ethereum and make it look like the play in the same league. And sorry that is exactly what shills do.
Except that I never fail to make clear that due to the development resources and intellect behind the coin Ethereum is a the most powerful project in crypto and it has the best chance to succeed. From the moment I read Gavin's white paper and gone through his source code it was clear to me that Ethereum is a special project from very talented professionals, and since that moment I support it. Moreover I agree that nobody in the right mind can or should compare very small projects like Skycoin or GadgetCoin to Ethereum. Ethereum completed the largest crowdfunding campaign in history and there is a reason for that.
Can small projects like GadgetCoin succeed in niche areas like the Internet of Things? Perhaps it can, but speculating on it doesn't make Ethereum a less viable project. Not to mention that the small projects could be complementary to Ethereum. I think Vitalik's latest blog is an indication of that. He was talking about the private/public blockchains and since the private/public blockchain concept was first described in the GadgetCoin white paper and the GadgetCoin devs always give credit to Ethereum (e.g. they do in their white paper) there is nothing wrong to give back the credit when it's due. Since IBM's ADEPT is dead I can see collaboration between GadgetNet and Ethereum in the IoT space, especially that Vitalik started to talk about the private/public blockchains.
All I tried to say that just because the project Ethereum we support got an insane amount of money and the most potential in crypto, the supporters don't have to talk nonsense (see IBM's ADEPT hyping) nor should we talk from the high horse about projects that has zero money and classify them as shitcoins, especially if the main guys of Ethereum can see intellectual value in those small projects (see Vitalik's blog about private/public blockchains).
