pls be so kind and stop picking on single users if you have a thing with ihm sort it ouside of this thread.

and i think people collect info befor they invest and find out what is eth and what is etc offering.
then decide which way to go

here an article http://bitcoinist.net/ethereum-classic-jumps-into-top-10-altcoins-in-less-than-a-day/

No, in fact it seems like devs are leaning towards supporting etc development. I haven't seen any final word on it though.

Edit:


It was a question.

Stop lying

Any comments from ETH dev? I believe he  can contact Poloniex and force them to shutdown ETC, no? In fact ETC is just a empty box, a dead coin as there is no team, no dev, no nothing, only the thief with his $50M. Correct?

Don't confuse people

Exchanges show non-forked eth today appreciated 39.9% against forked eth. Only forkers are losing money.

No, but those sending eth or etc to a wrong account, because becoin is in a trolling mood, might (Believe me, I know becoin, he does not care about eth nor etc).

Guys, can I change the place where all Ethereum blockchain is stored? My C: drive is almost full...

I heard that since Mist v0.7.5 there is a way to change the folder path, is it --datadir flag? Should I piont it directrly to geth.exe (I heard also that Mist won't start if I started geth separately before)? Or does Mist itself somehow "Pass custom CLI options to the Ethereum node"? Then how does it work?

and this too i marked the one line tht i dont understand. what does this mean?

Abstraction:

In Ethereum protocol development, one of the major overriding philosophies is the notion of abstraction: that the protocol itself should be as simple as possible, and as much as possible should be implemented in contract code instead of through hard protocol rules. Targets for abstraction include:

    Account security (see https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/86)
    The transaction state transition function (ie. the rules by which a transaction is processed)
    Ether (ie. make ether into a ERC 20 token just like the others)
    Logs / events

The purpose of abstraction is the following:

    Lower attack surface and lower core code complexity
    The ability to more easily hardfork the public chain protocol to different protocol rules, as it can be done simply by swapping out contract code
    The ability to more easily swap out different rulesets on a test network or private implementation
    The ability to switch between different rules on a per-application or per-user level (eg. some users want their accounts secured by ECDSA, some prefer Lamport for quantum-proofness, and in some private chain use cases industry or national standards require the use of specific forms of cryptography; the goal of EIP 86 is to support all of this)

EES may want to implement some of these abstraction features ahead of schedule.

hi i was reading vitalics new page vitalik.ca

and this about consens i dotn understnd
can one of yu ?
Currently, the Ethereum clients support proof of work consensus. There is a desire to modularize the consensus algorithm in such a way that it will be possible to also use proof of stake (Casper), as well as private chain-specific consensus algorithms, with likely initial targets being PBFT and DPOS (essentially a round robin consensus algorithm). The first step is to determine exactly what the "interface" for a consensus algorithm "class" should look like.

A possible sketch of the interface is as follows:

    submitTransaction(tx): submit a transaction to a participating node. The node will attempt to include it in a block, or vote for it, or perform the equivalent operation in the consensus algorithm.
    sendMessage(msg, node_id): send a message to another node.
    broadcastMessage(msg): broadcast a message.
    getMostRecent(conf_level): get the most recent block that satisfies a given confirmation level. In proof of work or DPOS, conf_level would represent the number of confirmations, so it would return the nth last block in the chain; in PBFT confirmation is binary (ie. final confirmation is instant) so it always returns the most recent confirmed block.

Note that public chain consensus also requires an incentivization model, ie. a way to reward consensus participants who perform well and possibly penalize participants who perform badly. We two abstract this by providing two options:

    A function finalize that gets automatically called after processing every transaction in a block, which makes modifications to the state and may use the block as input.
    A function initialize that gets automatically called before processing every transaction in a block, which makes modifications to the state and may use the block as input.

Note that either finalize or initialize may simply consist of a call to some standard contract with the block header as data; the Ethereum public chain plans to move to such an approach in the long term. In consortium chains, there is no need to use these functions for incentivization; however, they may be useful for other purposes (eg. to automatically run scheduled operations). Hence, because the utility of these operations is not strictly related to consensus incentivization, they should not be viewed as part of the consensus interface; rather, they should be viewed as transaction processing rules.

In a private chain context, there are three consensus algorithms that make the most sense:

    Proof of authority - essentially, one client with one particular private key makes all of the blocks
    PBFT (or some other traditional byzantine-fault-tolerant consensus algorithm)
    DPOS (or some other chain-based limited-validator consensus algorithm)

"But let’s make it clear that we (the ethereum developers) have never abandoned the old chain. We never forked the chain. We have implemented a switch in our client to give users a choice to fork if they want to and that’s all. The "Ethereum Classic" chain is just as much our child as the forked one, and if both of them survive (which is the users’ choice, not ours), then I intend to take care of them equally in the future too."

There might be people in Vitalik's inner circle that does not agree in the hard fork. If those people leave where will they run? Yes, the original Ethereum chain. It is the one immutable, original, real chain. I fear for him because when everyone is truly shaken they might throw him out in the cold.

you losing money ?

So, address them then. I posted many links verifying everything I said. I don't speak from a position of ignorance.

Nothing I have "screamed" has been inaccurate. I have linked the reporting and you can easily follow the links to see the source in every situation.

Major mining pools have said they did not support it. Exchanges have said they did not support it. Pools said they were forced. exchanges said they were forced.

Where is you addressing these so-called inaccuracies? Nowhere. You've just shilled ETH and tried to discredit ETC, but you can't discredit ETC without discrediting ETH. It's developed by the same damn people.

To be honest, I don't like ETH since it has been modified just to make DAO holders happy.

lol how long did that last ....haha 

After forking eth has all features of a shit coin: premined, centralized and useless  

thanks for that...looks like mining is pretty much on par with eth...maybe a few percentage points more.
so it is profitable

This kind of trolling could lead to people losing money. Please stop it.

I already did in the post above. Clearly not a loss and roughly on par with ETH. What are your numbers?
