b-b-b-but... can't you see this is just part of the elaborate scam?! :\



In a sense its kind of funny that people here are "declaring" Ethereum dead ....
While everyone at the conference swarmed him after the announcement, and 40 reporters were waiting for him in the hall.
Do we have delusions of grandeur over here?

So...

Here's why I said they may not care so much about the opinions of a few people in this thread…

These idiots are probably sucking their thumbs in fetal position after being destroyed in this thread.

They should've named it Elysium. At least then their intent would be transparent.

The people have spoken, this premine reptilian shitcoin has been officially black-balled.

It's not a random thread since Vitalik himself started this thread calling it The Beginning ...

Maybe he is to busy reading wikipedia for his next presentation on quantum computing, or astrophysics or neurosurgery.  Tongue

How about this viewpiont on why they're not responding:

Some random thread on Bitcointalk doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

I could be dead wrong about this, but I seem to remember hearing that they'd *already* raised millions of dollars *before* they even created this thread.

I just spent 10 minutes trying to find the older article which stated this, and can't find it.

But do you really think this thread on this forum is their main source of bread?

Go look at their twitter, facebook, and blog - nothing

"raised millions"  LOL please at least lets be somewhat serious.  If they raised millions prior to the IPO then they are 100x worse than they appear now because then would be hiding from us further dilution of shares/coins that was not mentioned.  If they had the ability to raise millions on their own why in the world are they begging the entire bitcoin community for money?  Have you seen their proposal?  DO you think one VC would invest one dime into this deal the way its structured?  If you think so, you dont know how the financial system works.

I can think of 2 reasons for such a lack of response from them:
- they are walking back to their office in Toronto from Miami
- they are rewriting the fundraising and will announce it by tomorrow. Thursday is too late

- they are enjoying a mountain of cocaine and top of the top escort girls.

The FBI is on the way to take care of them.

When they are going mainstream with articles in Wired Magazine? Hell to the no...this forum probably represents 2% of their future investors.

Looks like a lot of people are going to invest their Ethereums into Dollars, because the inflation seems a bit better there.

Maybe they'll invest their bitcoins in dollars too, because the U.S. inflation rate (1.5%) is much lower than the inflation of bitcoin (10.7%).

That said, I really do hope we hear from Vitalik or Charles soon.

I wonder if they will be releasing some sample contracts (scripts) with the initial code.  I think that the market will have a difficult time valuing Ethereum until the first few big ideas are implemented in code.  Even then, only once web apps are built on top of those contracts/scripts will there be a real value-add.

Does anyone know what will be possible (if anything) with the out-of-box experience, as it were?

Given the lack of member participation on this thread it's apparent that they do not believe they need the broader community to support this.  While the potential for the science is amazing - I don't have much trust in the leadership here.
Nor do I plan on mining, which is what I do.  Makes no financial sense at this point with an ever increasing inventory of coins.
at this rate, usd is looking better and better LoL

I don't know about everyone else here, but I'm sitting this one out. As I said before, mining is the easy way to play this. It's low risk, and if ETH ever takes off you'll get to enjoy a bit of the ride. Anyway, with BTC block #283810 approaching, my attention is focused on putting money to work (or rather, lighting it on fire) with Counterparty.
