so did ethereum actually launch yet? wasnt the 20th supposed to be the day?
I did not see any breaking news about it. So I guess it was not that impressive or... something went wrong. To be honest I am amused by optimism of some people towards this launch. It is nothing special really.

Top 100 addresses control 45.7% of all Ether. Addresses =/= people...
TaunSew is a real piece of work isnt he. Pretty much every altcoin I own some of, he has called a scam.
My new rule is that if TaunSew ever declares a coin to be a scam, and that coin appears to be a real project with a community and ongoing development work, then I am buying that coin.
Just because you made money on a coin does not mean it wasn't a scam. There were people who also made money on Aurora and Paycoin and all the scam $hitcoins out there.
Bitshares many times now have changed their core mechanics to benefit themselves and to screw over their adopters. Heck even before there were "adopters", they screwed over hundreds of people on how they determined to take a snapshot of the old PTS! BTS has been making those sort of blunders since the beginning. Then the regular unethical lies they make regarding their pegged assets ("safer than a Swiss bank account", lol).
What do we call that if we can't use the word scam?
The Lieimer funbucks machine?

Even if the steps are simple, a lot of them are not going to try and will only wait for the GUI client. Its a simple yet brilliant plan, artificially create a shortage and the developers can sell at high prices due to the hype.
There's an opportunity for a little profit there. You should be happy.
There are opportunities for profits all over, so it is nothing new. Take NXT and DOGE for instance, they are wonderful cash cows and are always either pumping or dumping.

What's even harder to believe is people bought ethercoin at several times ether ico price. Buying from scammers who "promise" coins from original scam. Does it get any dumber than that?
Yeah, and just to drive the point home a bit....EtherCoin is NOT Ethereum.
The EtherCoin devs claim to hold enough Ethereum to backup their token, but whether they do or not is a big question.
One that may be answered pretty soon....

LOL! You seem to use the same template to spread FUD about all cryptocoins!
You are smarter than I thought, it's really handy to have
Code:
Top ... addresses control ...% of all .... Addresses =/= people...
and then just fill the gaps. March 16, 2015, 04:23:47 AM

This could be fun........imagine a shitload of Eth investors who've never seen a command line trying to cash out without a GUI.
We may need to buy popcorn.
But, is this really gonna happen ? I can almost hear the screams of 'unfair' already.

How do you find out the command unless they tell you? What if the steps are so complicated that most cannot follow through with it?
Seems like a setup intended because Ethereum already spent most of their money and they need to sell their free Ethereum on unsuspecting people but don't want competition from investors selling. This is worse than Ripple's centralization.
Remember folks - it was BTT that was warning the masses about Pay Coin (and Aurora long ago) and now we're warning you about Ethereum - consider yourself warned..

Who knows if they will produce anything?
Why do anything for 5 million bucks when you told everyone upfront nothing may be produced? I cannot believe people bought into this.

Perhaps but we never know what goes on behind closed doors. That Ethercoin never had much volume, AFAIK, and it could had been somebody buying up their own stuff and catching the occasional sucker now and then.
Ethercoin on Trex did a lot of volume, how much of it was real I have no idea.

Any insight into how the gui may look, what features will be available and most importantly, in what condition will the network be in would be much appreciated if any one has a good understanding of this.
Almost everything you need to know is on the Ethereum blog. The Ethereum launch process is as follows:https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/03/03/ethereum-launch-process/
Once all issues have been resolved (100%), the Ethereum devs will give a notice 2 weeks before the official launch so Ethereum will probably not launch by March 20.

what is the difference between ethercoin and ethers?should someone invest in ethercoin or ethers?is it going to be a pump and dump coin?
ethercoin is not part of the Ethereum project but rather some pre-sale investor who is selling his pre-sale ether coins. You can exchange it after ethereum's launch or so he says. It's very risky because he may not deliver.My advise is to not listen to anybody here because almost all have conflict of interest. Read up the blog and see the working code on github then formulate your opinion.

I remember reading that when I was thinking of investing in the IPO. I didn't because they clearly stated they can scam us if they so choose, legally at that! There would be no way of recovering your money.

It was already pumped and dumped, the pump was the promise/dream, the dump is no delivery.
You'll be lucky to receive a trading token to dump on someone else and recover at least some of your initial investment.

Will they continue working on it after they finish spending the IPO money? There is only 4000 Bitcoins left from the 31000 coin IPO.
Excellent question. Possible answer could be:
