In relativity to the current hashrate, what should the USD price be?

read somewhere on reddit that the person currently needs around $1.5 worth of electricity to mine one Ether.

This will be like every other alt for the next six months, price will tank as those that bought the ICO will want to secure their windfall.

If the coin can survive the first six months, then maybe it will have a shot. my guess is it won't.

I am NOT buying.

As ETH trades for 5x+ IPO price currently,

source?

where can I dump my IPO ETH for a x5 profit?

 Sad If you hold your ETH for a long time then you will get x50 profit, Frontier is just beginning, there will be many DAPP built on Ethereum, many of them are very promising, Ethereum will build another huge cypto currency system as Bitcoin.

Ethereum ipo investors took a huge risk buying last summer. Not only did they have no idea when or if they would ever see these tokens, bitcoin value has dropped to less than half since they bought in - meaning they need the ether price in satoshis to more than double just to break even. While I think they deserve nice profits for their risk, it won't be from me - this is one show I'm not paying to watch.


As ETH trades for 5x+ IPO price currently, skeptics like you and I are left holding our dicks. Doesn't make sense why a currency with a broke dev team is trading at 100m market cap, but maybe we're wrong as our sidelined BTC goes to 0 and ETH goes to $1000.  Grin

That doesn't mean much if the IPO purchases can't be redeemed anywhere....unless I've missed something?  Where can they be redeemed?

So let's say that $18m isn't that much considering the size of their team. How much more dev work is needed for Ethereum to be the big thing that everyone expects it to be? One more year maybe? That's another $9m to keep them afloat from January 2016. Anyone here ready to invest? Or "donate" as they like to call crowd funders Cheesy

Hey everyone,
if that chat log isn't fake then ethereum is headed for disaster, or call it what you may..

1. they only have until the end of 2015 to fund developers
2. total chaos governs their collaboration methods. these guys and gals were actually brainstorming on how to set up a functioning organization, how to communicate among teams and how to sell the news to funders that more money is needed for the project to get anywhere. AND this was in May, just 2 months ago and after a year of doing serious work behind the scenes Cheesy

Whatever the truth, $18m was burned and nothing to show for

If the chat log is legit, then the launch of the "coin" was a desperate move to at least show the public "something"..

The other thing I don't get is, why is it taking days for the first transaction to happen? Shitcoins are launched and mined every day and seem to work just fine.  

shitcoins are just Bitcoin forks with a couple lines added / changed...


Ethereum wants to become something completely different of what a regular shitcoin developer is even capable of thinking of...

How big is the dev. Team of Ethereum? Like 36 developer plus finance and marketing? So if they have over 50 Fully paid employees the 18m$ Funding is not that much in the end if they need even more time to create a complete new system..

- Breaking news (or fud ?) -

Would it be possible that Ethereum has only few months left before going bankrupt while it still needs years of development ?

http://cointelegraph.com/news/115034/ethereum-launches-but-leaked-chat-says-project-needs-years-more
http://contravex.com/Kelley_Becker_Ethereum_Skype_Transcript_donors_not_investors_May_17_2015.txt

Suppose it is true, would you pay for the devs if asked ? Would you accept a second fund-raising ?

how to mine Ethereum?  please guide for newbies

You cannot. Ethereum was too much known before the launch to give space to amateur miners.
You would be competing with professionals that have years of experience, huge GPU farms and very low electricity cost.
It would be like trying to mine Bitcoin with your own hardware : a waste of time and money unless you are just interested in learning.

Ethereum is a scam.

They don't have a nice miner yet

They ran an ICO with no transparency.

Unfair mining launch.

Very poor coin.

Great to see how this pans out, it won't be for a few months yet until we are able to see a user friendly side of it I would guess.  You can buy some ETC - Ethercoin at https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-ETC in the meantime, they 'say' they are doing a 1:1 exchange into ETH https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-etc-ethercoin-redeemable-11-for-ethers-official-thread-798031
