Is there a nice schematic explaining the difference between all Crypto 2.0s: ETH, Lisk, NXT, Ripple, etc? Is there any 2.0 coin I can seriously stake (delegate staking is not a real option)?

I don't see it as a "usable option" (I don't mean that it is useless, just, too inconvenient, impractical ) I have several BTC in my wallet, I have an offline backup of the entire blockchain including the wallet file.
the wallet file is encrypted with a long and complex password that i can remember
the long and complex password is written in a piece of paper (just in case i ever forgot it) and stored in a safe of a bank.
and, the "online" Wallet is on a separate hard drive with a complete instalation, so if I need to transfer BTC, i remove my hard drive, put the drive of the wallet and load that OS, since that OS only is used for the wallet, nothing else, i never browse the web or anything, it is absolutely impossible that someone can capture my typing when i enter my password in the wallet.
you can do the same with the ethereum wallet.

I friend of mine directly has a notebook specifically for the wallets, and it does not use it for anything else.
another friend of mine, has the wallets in a vmware virtual machine, totally isolated from the rest, but in this case i think that a malware in the physical machine, can still record the keystrokes, so.... not sure how effective that could it be.

there is nothing better than complete isolation when it comes to security.

Not enough, I wish to load up in the low 10s. The price is still too high for me to load comfortably.

Hi guys,

As I see an even brighter future for computer malware (Linux, OSX and Win), my paranoid self is thinking about storing 90% of my ETH on a cold wallet.
I wonder who shares the same feeling and got his/her ETH already on cold storage. Please share some options if you don't mind. I'm thinking of using a paper wallet (https://ryepdx.github.io/ethaddress.org).
Thanks 

Everyone load up enough at the low 20s?

The PoS costs less than the PoW, so the price of the Ethereum might drop after it becomes pure PoS.

I wouldn't hope for it. Sorry mate. I've being in your shoes. Nothing helped. Just move along and learn your lessons.

Sometimes if it winds up on an exchange, they can help.

Hello guys, is there any chance to get back my ether, that got stolen from me from Mist Wallet. I think due to an trojan.

Yeah this is correct, Ether roadmap is not determined, but from Vitalik interview, Ethereum should move to POS by the beginning of 2017. which would suppose to rise the price of Ether since there will no longer be 18 millions coins produced yearly but only 0-2 millions.

never in the proof of work phase.

the reward structure will likely be modified upon proof of stake implementation though.

After this halving there is another BTC halving in 4 years. When will be the ETH halving?

Ether is steadily growing even with BTC halving pump and without major news these days, can't wait for some dapp action or some Vitalik press conference.

After BTC halving bubble explodes i expect most of the funds to go into Ether and Lisk which will get us to the moon.

The dollar price dropped 20% from the peak. In the digital coin world, 20% price drop is almost nothing.

The dollar price of Ethereum is quite stable.

nice to se Ether rising even so BTC is pumping hard

Thanks Slydrule
I wasn't expecting "official" help, i am more get used to hands-on users like you, usually, like in this case, they been there, and know better, again, like you

Good advice i will move it to another machine and try again, i am close to completion anyway, block 1300000

Thanks vaporminer
will try that pool/xchg thanks!.
yes i thought about the SSD but i don't have any free ssd, they are all working on different things, and i don't like the idea of use the same one i use for the BTC primary wallet , but i could toss a WD velociraptor i got laying around collecting dust, that probably would help

bittrex allows you to mine from the pool (nanopool) straight to a bittrex account. then exchange to btc and transfer out.

no idea if fees etc are good/bad compared to other places, its just what i used till mist got synced up.

now i mine to mist but mist is not ready for prime time.


btw a ssd help hugely for wallets.

I went through this too when I first got involved with ETH.  I didn't didn't get a response with a working solution either.  I switched back and forth between the wallet and geth for a week and a half before getting the block chain caught up.  Like you, it was stopping every 15 minutes.  I have no idea why.  However, I moved my wallet to a different system and on the new system it ran almost non-stop until it caught up in less than 48 hours!  Again, I have no idea why.  Both systems were Windows 7 SP1 on the same LAN using the same broadband connection.  There must be something about the first system that ETH didn't like.

If you are looking for technical solutions or answers to questions like yours, I don't think you will find them in this forum.
