No it's not. You've just made up the "EX" part.

Other than I completely agree with you - It is REALLY encouraging knowing that some non-idiots are working on 30,000 BTC project.
What more could we ask for!!!

Here everyone.
We have EX Goldman Sachs, non-idiot types. Give us all your money, you know it's all good.
Besides we also have 19yr genius, and you know in your heart that his motives are scientific and pure.

What better recommendations do you want?
Do you want to be left out when he finds holy crypto grail? OFC NOT

PS
[sorry for sarcasm, I know its not the best form]

14 posts? Ffs. All in this thread? Did you make an account just for this thread? Who's the troll here?

I agree. I keep coming back to this thread *hoping* to see an actual discussion on the technical merits, challenges, and risks, but the trolls only want to talk about the IPO funding.

The good news about this thread is that it's helping me build my ignore list rather rapidly =)

Yep

Lowest is 0.01 BTC

If I have .1 BTC to invest, will I be able to invest that small of an amount?

Good luck

relax. its just a mere irritant. dont go off the deep end and call it a p/d, all things considered its clearly not.

This is the classic pump strategy...

Theres been about 9 posters similar to this guy (newbie saying they are "in ") on this thread. This kind of marketing is not necessary. Lets have a more technical discussion please

In for one

I don't know how much a significant advantage gpu will give over cpu. The devs of this project want to ensure that mining hardware does not get centralized so that only people with deep pockets can invest in ASIC hardware. They predict that CPU mining will still be possible with this and specialized hardware will be impractical.

Only 500BTC, bless their hearts they can get by on such little money. 

No one's saying Goldman hires idiots but they're not exactly big on caring for their clients either. They were well trained to skin the customers (sheep aka muppets) and make money for Goldman. http://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/oct/22/goldman-sachs-muppets-greg-smith-clients

p.s: Why you have such poor posting history? You've only started to post in this thread?

Alright, you mentioned gpu not much advantage over cpu, but doesn't gpu have more hash rate thus more coins that will be mined?

There don't appear to be a lot of undecided people in this thread, so this post probably won't even get read, but here's what I think about the IPO:

Vitalik said they can make a go of it with only 500 BTC raised. If they raise more than that, they have plans on how they can use the money to further their ecosystem. However, there is absolutely no way they could ever spend more than 30,000 BTC, so they are capping the investment at that level.

There is a difference between asking for a certain amount of money ("This IPO needs to raise 500 BTC or we're calling it off") and CAPPING the amount of money that can be raised. Vitalik's target for the IPO is 500 BTC--which is $400,000 at today's exchange rate and implies a $600,000 market cap with the premine. Now if they raise more, they have plans on how they can spend it (bounties for a better PoW/PoS system, application writers to get a jump start on the ecosystem, etc.), but they don't actually need one penny more than the 500 BTC he has stated is a minimum.

With respect for the guy who used to work at Goldman Sachs, my first impression was "Good...GS doesn't hire idiots." I'd be happy if they had ex-NSA guys working on the cryptography, ex-Goldman Sachs or Chase guys working on the financial markets, ex-NYSE guys working on the automated exchanges...the key word in each case is "EX."

You should also probably remember that the ethereum guys were in Miami this weekend presenting to the heavy-hitters of the crypto world, which is likely why they haven't posted much in the last few days.

Hard to say ratios but I initially had about 350MSC, 30M NXT, 2222XCP and 200PTS (mined) - I will invest somewhere between 5-10btc in Ethereum.

I was so impressed by Ethereum at BTC Miami! Ethereum is definitely the future.

even if Rothschild himself was involved in this, with the support of Obama, you guys will always find something..
even a bag of dorito's are illuminati triangles..

what i would like to know without too much technical info is how a simple soul can get some of this without investing.

is it possible to use a cloud server?  this is cpu only?  i swear i've tried to read the whitepaper but it goes above my head..

people will only answer me if they know i'm a high lvl programmer or big investor.. so vitalik tell me how i can be part of this.

They say they have team members that worked for Goldman Sachs, which means they are no longer working for Goldman but where schooled and trained there. That's my point. So of course this IPO is so savvy and cleverly structured to skin the sheep till last chunk of wool is cut and sheep is left in the cold, shaking and trembling butt naked.

Current Goldman Sachs employees are involved. One of the founders acknowledges this fact at 8:08-8:12 in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5FDvzj8YX4

If somebody would try to suggest that he say GS members "worked" in the team, then turn on the captions (cc button under the video in Youtube) and you'll see he says "work" in present tense....
