I missed this point, so they can run away a month from now saying bye bye to all investors?

"...nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man's number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six."-.Revelation 13:17,18

the number of the beast isn't 666 it was a miss translation, you just quote a miss translation. let me try now

The number of the beast is 1337. And it represents the number of forks people will create, before everything collapses into the abyss, because everyone was busy creating forks, and forgot to take out the rubbish bin.

Follow ur gut instinct, it is there for a reason.

Can someone dumb down the innovations of this coin?

How will these innovations affect an average person who knows nothing about programming.

Holy cow this coin is 50,000 sats and hasn't even been released yet? Huh

Right now these are the numbers:

1 bitcoin buys 2000 ether or 0.02% of the current supply of Ether, this is the same as owning 0.02% of the entire supply of Bitcoins, which is 2,600 Bitcoins or over $1,000,000

Of course, we need to add into account two things; one, the IPO will end with your share being decreased relative to more people buying over the next 40 days and two, the supply will increase by around 26% in the first year, and then 20% for year two. (this trends towards 0% without actually ever being 0% per year)

Because Ethereum is a major coin and one of three coins that matter, I expect Ethereum will settle around 100,000 bitcoin on the market for it's first few years. This means that if the IPO is ends up being around 50,000 to 70,000 bitcoin (remember take into account the first year inflation) then this may very well be a good buy.

Of course this assumes Ethereum lives up to expectations.

Yes I think thats because it hasn't been fully released yet.

No cap on sales, I take it? Approx. 14 days at current price, regardless of how many sell between now and that 14 days, correct?

Correct

@Ursurium all 100% of total amount are distributed during the IPO?

This looks really interesting. Ethereum has always been one of my top 3 coins to own. (Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum)

I really see these three existing alongside each other for many years.

I'm not sure how much I will purchase right now, I have a feeling that post IPO may experience a drop once the network goes live, however I have been wrong many times before.

I'm going to keep watching this.

Why does a platform that can have services built on it need a currency? Can someone explain this to me?

The first thing that comes to mind is that it is a fundraiser for the devs. (Fair enough to a point.)
The next thing is that if BTC becomes the defacto currency you will be limited by it's confirmation times (slower) and such. You can look at Counterwallet's confirmation times between BTC (slow) and XCP (fast) to see my point.
Sure others will jump in here...

Devs cancelled the first IPO in order to work on details and come up with a decent IPO plan. Instead they've just started IPO with no info whatsoever. Maidsafe investors got about 20000 coins for 1 BTC, devs set a cap but still investors are pretty much fucked. Ethereum devs only offer 2000 for 1 BTC, didn't set a cap, didn't post any info about total amount of coins, mining plan, devs stake ect. Looks like another big disappointment: eMunie, Maidsafe, Ethereum.

You'll be then pleased to hear there is no IPO. To quote Joseph:

"Our sale is structured differently from sales or fundraising events conducted by other groups in the space. We are not conducting an IPO. We are not selling shares in anything. Ether (ETH), the product we are selling, has no voting or any other kind of rights and does not entitle anyone to dividends or any sort of future gains.

Ether is a necessary element -- a fuel -- for operating the computational "appliance" we are building. Without the requirement of payment of ether for every computational step and storage operation of the system, infinite loops or excessive storage demands could bog down the system and effectively destroy it.

People can download the software appliance and run it on their computers and it will do certain basic things like perhaps showing them a catalog of available apps. If they want more functionality, like running a DApp or uploading and testing DApps that they have written, they will have to feed fuel into the machine.

Under Swiss law, where Ethereum Switzerland GmbH is based, the product we are selling is classified as a software product. And we are conducting a pre-sale for this product since we are not yet able to manufacture it.

People who are interested in acquiring it to build and upload DApps or to pay for their usage of DApps are enabled in the pre-sale to buy ETH for BTC and lock in their supply of it at a known price. These sales will help us to fund the continued construction of the software platform (the computational appliance) that requires ETH and that will continually create ETH starting at the moment the genesis block is released. Once the initial batch of ETH is created in the genesis block and ready for delivery, people who have purchased some in the pre-sale will be able to claim their product."

As for information, there are 5 pdf documents that in excruciating details explain everything about what we are doing, what we've done, and what we are planning to do.

ETH will run as POW after IPO?

As per our DEV plan (located on our site, as a pdf):

Consensus - As discussed above, consensus algorithms are far from perfect. The plan to solve the problem with blockchain-based proof-of-work (PoW) and random computation trees appears promising, but ultimately version 1.0 of a protocol of this form may well fail to bear the brunt of attacks in the long term. An ideal algorithm, one that is both socially cost-free or cost-negative and promotes a high level of decentralization and security, will likely require a combination of novel approaches such as transactions-as-PoS (proof-of-stake), delegated-PoS, useful PoW, next-generation centralization/ASIC-resistant PoW and maybe even more exotic strategies involving bandwidth and storage. Developing such an algorithm, and making sure that it actually works, is an important priority for securing the blockchains of tomorrow.

I understand Ether is not a coin, it's a basically a token to use on the Ethereum blockchain in order to initiate any implementation.
Is that basically correct?

What methods will be available for determining Ether value (in BTC or fiat) after the Ether pre-sale is finished, and what avenues will be available to sell Ether for BTC or fiat after the pre-sale is finished. Will Ether be traded on exchanges?

As far as I understand it, there is nothing that prevents exchanges from adding Ether to their sites. This is a questions for the exchanges

Can I buy ether multiple times from the same email address?

Or do I need to make one bulk purchase?

Thanks,

Apologies for the delay in replying. Only one of me, many questions. Looking forward to the AMA tonight

You can purchase ether multiple times, with the same email. Just use a different password to be safe. Don't lose your wallet or password! Keep them very safe. Cheers!
