Will there be exchange sites for the testnet?
I do not know for sure, but of course it's very likely, close to certain in fact, that the community will attempt to build decentralized exchanges at the earliest opportunity, including on the testnet.

the name Ethereum makes sense. Comes from latin Aether, Aetherum is just the "plural" of Aether, that means "heaven", "air", "sky", so it means, "many skies"... that's all Ethereum is about, endless possibilities, like many horizons, without a "set in stone" begin and end.
good to know!well, latin is cool but it's a dead language and typically you only see pharma companies or hedge funds use these type of naming system, coz they want to shut publicity or enhance uniqueness (like for medicines ) , which i believe it's not what "Ethereum" is about; at the end of the day, etheruem (damn, i couldn't spell it right each time i type it) is a "consumer product", only an "Apple" like name will get you home run, you know what i mean.
Ethrum or Etherum is easier for the masses.

This is an interesting project.
I setup an eth server on a VPS and it is running fine. The windows eth application works well too.
There seems to be a problem with the windows alethzero.exe. When trying to run it, I get an error saying that libwinpthread-1.dll is missing.
Searching google did not show an answer on how to fix it.

A new windows build will be on the code.ethereum.org site tonight 2300 GMT at most. Cheers!

When does mining start ?

LOL seriously?
"Ethereum" comes from Blizzard Inc, World Of Warcraft.
http://www.wowhead.com/search?q=Ethereum
I honestly don't take anything that just picks a random name from a World of Warcraft game any serious. Didn't even have the creative energy to make their own unique name huh? Had to "borrow" it from a game.
And almost 40% pre-mine goes straight to devs? This is just another freakin' "DevCoin". Same shit, different package + some scripting language built into it. God-syndrome infected Greed Extravagante Deluxe. (As in, "I'm the dev, and all your money are belong to me(TM).")
I'm not even going to touch the mountain of technical problems and security-loopholes regarding the built-in scripting engine inside ethereum-coin will create at all. I'll leave that to the miners who experience it first-hand. Good luck.
did it ever occur to you that WOW may have gotten their Ethereum from latin? I suppose you think WOW invented the idea of GOLD pieces too...
people who think Ethereum is such a sucky name probably are too young to remember this networking technology we used to have called Ethernet... oh wait.. its still there.. under all that TCPIP, WWW and LAN jargon...
as for mining... I'm happy to oblige.. just waiting for release so I can set my rigs onto it..

Inflation!? Got a link?
I was reading through the summary of all the questions answered during the ethereum ask-me-anything on reddit yesterday:

Q: What is the most common misconception/myth about the ethereum project that you've seen so far?
1. Ethereum is not your personal decentralized Amazon EC2 instance. You will not be able to run anything on top of Ethereum that you cannot run on a smartphone from 1999.
2. The inflation rate is 0.4x the amount released in the presale per year, not 40% per year. That is, we'll have 1.5x after 0 years, 1.9x after 1 year, 2.3x after 2 years ... 401.5x after 1000 years, 401.9x after 1001 years, etc.
Q: The inflation in the product seems too high at 0.4X. Are there any plans to reduce this.
A: It depends upon other factors as well including what is done with fees, the fee structure, how people use ether, etc. We are building a lot of models, but I know that we are going to change the inflation weight.
{Charles}
Q: in the white paper it says, "0.4X ether will be mined per year forever after that point". Won't this create a massively inflating currency after the currency adoption peaks? Assuming Ether is widely used globally at some point and growth in adoption of ether is far less than 40%, won't a 40% annual currency volume increase be a problem?
A: .4X of the initial fundraiser. It will be increased by the same fixed number of eth each year, which will be a lower % of total eth in circulation each year.

I'm assuming this inflation they're discussing will be distributed through Proof-of-work/Proof-of-stake hybrid?
If so, I don't see how it's a bad thing. If I hold Ether in my wallet, my ether stash will grow through Proof-of-stake, right?

Can we rename it Titty Sandwich please?
On a serious note. Am I correct in thinking that the inflation will be distributed to holders? This is where the Proof-of-Stake part comes in?

a fair suggestion, why don't you change the project name, Ethereum is just don't-know-what-the-heck-it-means to mainstream and barely anyone could spell it correctly when they first hear it, change to something more intuitive, like Bitcoin. Name is critical for any project or IPO to scale and succeed as every VC or sponsor will tell you, just look at how successfully Bitcoin is, an underestimated attribute is that an average Joe would understand what it means by looking at the name itself, honestly, change it for the sake of living up the cryto 2.0 expectation.
Yep, no more questions will be answered in an unmoderated thread, better to address questions in an "OP-moderated" thread.
These thread was unmoderated and I've seen NO trolling nor abuse, just both critics and supporters. Why a moderated thread?
You have to be kidding.
It became completely unreadable, we even received blackmail messages telling us the trolling will only stop if we sent money.
1.49.0.1
If you install 1.53, that should solve the issue. I also installed qtcreator as some people have had problems without it. Note that the latest Github code can fail to run, so download from code.ethereum.org.
Code:
sudo apt-get install libboost1.53-all-dev
that's the problem, thanks
What about ubuntu 12.04? I have the same issue, but the latest libboost for 12.04 is 1.48
I don't quite see how the price to execute etherium code will be determined.
there has to be some sort of clever system based on realtime or near realtime demand for, well what ever the limitation is to get things into the next block?
I am also wondering if some sort of of chain processing can be done, and results are somehow integrated back into the etherium chain, that can be verified thus reduce bottle necks.....
it could be an etheirum fork would set fee lower......

You mean "No more questions will be addressed in this thread. Please refer to the self-moderated Q&A thread."
Why so scared?
Nothing to be scared of, number of posts deleted on the QA thread so far = 0
