GS and santander leaving R3CEV...
good or bad for ETH ?

I'd wager that both of them think they got all they can from that particular collaboration and decided to go their separate ways.
IIRC Ethereum got "tested/evaluated" by R3. "Testing/evaluation" may be that they forked it off git and ran some meager-in-scope, half-ass evaluation. Not like it was announced that Ethereum became the official coin of R3 or something like that. I've always considered that particular piece of news was misconstrued to hype people up.

Additionally, I would give Ripple the edge over Ethereum when it comes to "permissioned blockchain" or however you like to call it.

Buy low and sell high ETH is a good deal now. The sheeple will return and whine about how they missed out again. First everybody said ETH was lame, then everybody fell in love with it. A community of sheep.

Do you think the ETH will not go lower? When it was $10, I thought it was the bottom, and would not go lower than that.
i think it will go lower when it goes to $10.maybe get low or get high ...like bitcoin

This sums it up pretty well:

" (...)

As for what the future holds for ethereum, market experts seemed split.

Zivkovski said while the platform holds potential, he believes there have yet to be any significant products built on the platform.

On the other hand, entrepreneur and investor Vinny Lingham told CoinDesk that ether prices have long been overvalued, emphasizing both the cryptocurrency's technical challenges and his belief that the ether supply is rising too quickly.

"The number of new ether being mined per day as a proportion of current ether in the market is too high," he told CoinDesk.

Lingham is not alone in stating that ether is overpriced, as other market observers have indicated similar sentiment via Twitter and social blogging platforms."

100% complete cleanup, probably, means these sketchy accounts and shady addresses have all been deleted from the blockchain.

The very definition of a permissioned blockchain. People that run it decided your account is sketchy and your address is shady, so you're out. That is why some financial institutions love ETHF so much.

i don't understand why that isn't a huge red flag for users...

Well, because auditing, stock taking and efficiency process gains are a necessity for successful economic enterprises.

In terms of the logic:

Through the increased deletion of errors, crap and mistakes (malicious or accidental in origin) save finite resource within a network and these extra saved resources can be reallocated too increasing long value, has been proven to be a reliable source of greater prosperity for ventures spanning many areas of human activity in the long-run.

Consequently, the misallocation of node resources to processing an avalanche empty accounts created by malicious party's in a network attack would not be in the self-interests of Ethereums' investors and miners.

Seemed pretty a straightforward decision.

I'm having a little trouble installing ethminer.

In the past I tried using Ubuntu 14.04.5 desktop 64 bit, but I was having issues getting the amd software and drivers to install.

Ubuntu 15.05 has always been my "go to" OS for ethereum mining because of the ease of installing the drivers and ethminer. Although, its no longer supported by Ubuntu. (so sad)

Ubuntu 16.04, the last I saw was that Ubuntu was not allowing FGLRX-UPDATES to be installed. Kinda need that for my R9 295X2 cards. Today I looked for a guide and saw some mumble jumble of how to mine with 16.04 but good gawd, what a load of work. I gave up and went back to installing on 15.04.

HOWEVER: FGLRX-UPDATES installed easily as usual, but when I tried to install cpp-ethereum I got an error. I first added the repositories:

Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qt
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update

Then I typed:

Code:
sudo apt-get install cpp-ethereum

Which resulted in the error:

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cpp-ethereum : Depends: alethzero but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: mix-ide but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Allrighty then ....  I tried to install alethzero, that had unmet dependenciy of libqt5webengine5, I tried to install libqt5webengine5 and wound up saying the package is missing, obsoleted etc .... and has no instalation candidate.

WTF! .... I --NEVER-- had any issues before... and I like using ethminer ....

Did something just break with the fork? or what is going on? How do I install ethminer now?

Thanks

what does the 100% cleanup mean for Ethereum Wallet?  my shit hasn't sync'd in days

I would guess, though you need to go to the proper forums to get the official explanation, the old blockchain you are using is screwed up with nonce accounts or wallets address deliberately created to do the misdeed of a severe network attack on Ethereum over the last few months.

100% complete cleanup, probably, means these sketchy accounts and shady addresses have all been deleted from the blockchain. Therefore, the blockchain you have has all the old crap from the network attack still on it!

Whilst, people doing a fresh download of blockchain don't have all those sketchy and shady accounts now the cleaned up blockchain has been completed.

Therefore, if you delete your old blockchain and download the 100% clean blockchain, you account will sync properly with new blocks every 14 seconds.

I've opened up the Geth and Mist program a couple of times today and with 100% clean blockchain; it is syncing new blocks found over many hours within a minute or two Smiley

Windows 10 - Tried reinstalling the wallet once - will try again. Just to confirm the only folder needed is keystore ?

Yes,

Keystore has you account details in it.

Make sure the Ethereum folder in appdata has had the blockchain deleted from it.

Should you want too try out Parity instead of Geth:

This tutorial shows you how to use Parity on Windows 10.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOo3_aSXoZE

Latest Parity version is on Ethcore website:

https://ethcore.io/parity.html

The Keystore folder is simply called Keys on Parity.
