Where did you get the 2-4 weeks number? I don't believe there's been any talk about a specific timeline.

sorry, Im not sure where I've read that, but it stuck with me that somewhere in the later part of Feb we'll have some sort of other structure for the IPO.

The initial IPO was postponed.
We will be able to invest in the IPO in 2~4 weeks - keep an eye on ethereum.org for official announcements.

Much later, you'll be able to mine ether when ethereum is launched.

Where and how do I invest in the IPO?

The original informations seems to have been deleted from the initial post.

Aha oke, and in the near future also not possible to mine?

It will be possible to mine for real when the actual release will take place. Right now you can only test.

so we can mine this coin?

As you can read on code.ethereum.org ,

"This is untested, alpha software that exists as a proof-of-concept only. This is not meant for general usage and comes with absolutely no guarantees to do anything useful!"

So no, you cannot mine it. Not for real at least

In the Jason Bourne novels by American author Robert Ludlum the department within the CIA which made Bourne and the other super agents is called Treadstone Seventy-One. The fact that the original Nxt contributors are 71 in number must mean the CIA is behind Nxt! It's a cryptic message... I can't believe no one has figured this out yet!

Nxt genesis account password was cracked 2 days ago. The password is

What's the main difference between Ethereum and Nxt?

I think the main difference is this:

"Ethereum does not attempt to constrain users into using specific "features"; instead, the ledger includes a built-in Turing-complete programming language that can be used to construct any kind of contract that can be mathematically defined."
The other difference is PoW-basing. Ergo Bitcoin with double-edged Smart Contracts.

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

So you DO have Goldman Sachs folks in Ethereum? And you aren't even ashamed about admitting it?

Think what Satoshi would think about that. Really.

Here's what charleshoskinson (a founder) stated. Decide for yourself:


Goldman Sachs is not involved in our venture. We did not solicit them for investment, the company is not assisting us in any way.

We have two quantitative analysts on our team who both have a diverse background off and on wall street including both working for Goldman sachs at some point in their careers. Dr. Costa lives in Asia at the moment and runs an independent hedge fund and Joseph lupin has most recently been involved in the music industry in Jamaica.

The blockchain is owned by those who participate in the fundraiser and those receiving the early stakeholders premine. Let me be clear: No Bank, No financial entity including Goldman Sachs has been allocated any amount of the premine. If they want a chunk then they have to buy it once the fundraiser starts like everyone else.

We have two people on our team who started their financial careers- as many thousands have done- at Goldman Sachs. They have both since left and started other ventures. In both cases those were hedge funds. Joe retired and moved to Jamaica to be in the music industry and came out of retirement to join us. Costa went to university of Edinburgh to study LCS's relationship to finance for a PhD in Quantitative Finance. He is now running a hedge fund in Kyrgyzstan as well as building a full clearing house in etherscript.

We have no relationship with Goldman Sachs nor are they an investor. I wouldn't take their money if offered. I have great respect for their knowledge of the financial industry as well as quality of talent, but no respect for their business practices or questionable conduct.

Vitalik, anthony and I brought the original team together and the whitepaper did the rest. I don't know what to think of these Nxt people to be honest. Apparently our tech sucks, Nxt is better. We have been Co - opted by evil bankers yet our entire team is transparent unlike certain other teams of 71 Smiley oh and vitalik is a time traveling android sent from a dystopian future (Btw there is seriously a graphic novel coming out about it called vitalik ad 2134).

Levity aside, use common sense and good judgment. When we release the prospectus and business plan read them and do your due diligence. Look at our partners and strategy and most importantly our technology. There are some enormous frustrations in the financial world with how things are structured. It's unfair and corrupt also totally inaccessible to billions of people. Don't you think at least 2 people from the industry would like to be on a project that makes the world a better, more fair place?

I understand how you guys feel. I really do see a lot of frustration and anger in these forums. I felt the same when I was in the Ron Paul movement back in 2008. It was terrible to feel helpless and ignored. The difference today is that we have technology that can accomplish anything you want. I just want the community to help us build it, protect it and evolve it to meet the challenges of then future.

The problems we face are now too complex for a single  hacker to resolve. They require a community, large investments in time and resources as well as a dream for a better world. Set the IPO aside and all the other petty grievances and help me make ethereum.

If you are going to run the IPO, please make the minimum amount to invest low enough.

I believe in the original terms the minimum amount was 0.1 BTC. I imagine they'll keep it at that.
