It's basically able to do pretty anything.

Ethereum is a blockchain with a scripting language, basically a generalized version of the altcoin NXT. the cost of having the scripting language is security problems and scalability problems.

His Smart Contracts system allow you to host decentralised applications in the network

1. decentralized applications are not created through ethereum.  there are many ethereum-centralized applications created with ethereum.
2. the internet is a platform for creating decentralized applications.

the World's computer.

which has the computational power/capacity of a 1990s dumbphone.

We all know Bitcoin is done as a payment system. Plus due to its bad image no company or serious institution will touch it, ever. Just ask corporate persons and investors what they really think about Bitcoin, it's a joke. However it can still find a way to survive as digital gold and storage of wealth where instant transactions and fees are not really a problem.

Ethereum has a huge potential of becoming something even bigger than Bitcoin, which has failed time and time again during all these years. That doesn't mean it will, but just how organized and ambitious it is can tell you something about its intentions.

Ethereum doesn't scale any better than Bitcoin.

ether is just a toy for big sharks. stay away Smiley

That made me laugh, I don't know did u even do some research about ethereum??
When I first heard about it the first thing what I did was find as much info about it as I could.

And I really think it is going to be something big, not bigger then Bitcoin, but at least a good number 2.
I mean come on Litecoin is almost the same as Bitcoin why would I use Litecoin over Bitcoins..

We needed a good number 2 and Ethereum is here to stay and grow.
Especially since they have good connections to the financial and political world!

Sounds like you are trying to create a problem to justify Ethereum as a solution to the problem.

The problem does not exist. We don't need a "good number 2".

Now if there is an actual problem Ethereum actually solves in a novel way, it may become a "good number 2" but becoming a "good number 2" is not itself a problem.

I flush "good number 2"s down the toilet every day.

I suppose everyone understand this, but I will state it for the record.
With a $200,000+ monthly budget, Ethereum can afford fancy website design and paid promotion at sites such as Coindesk, etc..
We gave them $18 million to produce no solution to the fundamental challenges they never solved, and they spent our money on hype to fool other greater fools into buying at nosebleed, manipulated prices. We invested in screwing the newbies who come to crypto.
That is not a sustainable model for growing our ecosystem. We are poisoning the well from which we drink

There was a farmer had a dog, and Bingo was his name, oh...

It's been a painful ride for me with the altcoin market this year, what makes this one special?

Has anyone bought some pizza with ether yet?

Any pizza shop can accept ETH easily, for example, by installing a mobile wallet for Ethereum: https://www.jaxx.io/

He wasn't inferring that it wasn't possible.

There's a difference between possibility and actually occurring.  Roll Eyes
Considering it took a year and a half before the Bitcoin pizzas were bought I'd say Ethereum still has time on its side. Besides the Bitcoin pizzas were transacted between bitcointalk forum members not on a fully integrated payment system.

So my offer still stands for anyone who fancies a pizza. Let's make Ethereum history.

Send me 10,000 and I'll order you a couple of pizzas. I'll throw in some chicken wings for free.

I heard someone was going to make a contract to walk their dog using ether scripts. That would be something to do with ether ... but sounds a bit contrived cheesy lameness. Hope they don't print too many ethers for those swiss holon parties.

supposedly it can do anything, and they've spent a good deal of the pre-mine money on their public relations/marketing team before having a working product, so you can expect more positive hype i guess

Of course no mate. I am not interested in any other cryptocurrency but bitcoin. Perhaps I could get some little amounts of other currencies, but without exchanging my bitcoins. I have struggled to much to gather my present amount of bitcoin, and I am not willing to spend it easily!!!

ethereum blockchain size already at 10GB, fees at 0,03$ Roll Eyes

The block chain grows too fast. Is there a way to reduce the growth. People cannot mine it solo with a small SSD any more.

ever heard of blocksize? ^^
