Isn`t ERC20 just another token like all the rest? They conveniently based their name as the platform used to create these tokes?
From what I have read so far (warning : it will be my view not an exact explanation) ERC20 is a system used to create Tokens based on the Ethereum blockchain.
I hope my understanding of this complex system is at least a bit right Grin

That's what my understanding here is as well

Which makes it even more strange to see these exchange rates and ERC20 as a Token in it's own right

Here's what I don't understand - relation between Ethereum (ETH) and ERC20?:
- ETH is a cryptocurrency listed on exchanges like this: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/
- and I thought ERC20 is a token standard based on ETH, but it is also listed? https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/erc20/

Why are they different? And why ERC20 is gaining 400% while ETH goes up by only 5%?

I would appreciate any explanation. Thanks!

Raiden Release: Simpler Micropayments Go Live on Ethereum's Testnet

Quote

The developers behind Raiden Network have launched an early version of the scaling solution on the ethereum test network.

Designed to power projects aiming to replace the likes of Google and Facebook, one problem facing ethereum is that growing to such scale would require putting an unimaginable amount of data on the blockchain, a shared ledger every node must download. Further, ethereum is already having enough trouble supporting the relatively small number of users it has today.

As such, Raiden Network has emerged as one piece of the scaling puzzle, aspiring to allow more and potentially cheaper ethereum transactions. Though Raiden Network has released a flurry of updates recently, the project is still a work in progress.

In the meantime, the developers have launched a testnet version of a new product, µRaiden (pronounced "micro Raiden") – a simpler version with fewer features that is almost complete.

In short, rather than route payments through a network of nodes, µRaiden allows users to make micropayments directly between each other. Further, the payments work in just one direction.

The project's introductory blog post argues that, while simpler, µRaiden offers a form of payment channels requested by some decentralized apps (dapps), such as for news and storage.

I'm pleased so far with Eth development, particularly teh onboarding of developers and growth of ecosystem.

I didn't like the developers' embrace of some ICOs, particularly more questionable ones - is there the possibility of having some code of conduct for those employed by ethereum about their role in erc20 coins? Maybe regulators by stepping in solve this themselves.

I don't understand how to keep the wallet synced. It took forever to sync, but I thought that was just the initial syncing. A few days of not syncing and I'm at 4,172,778 of 4,184,728, and it uses as much as 2500 MB of the memory and 12 MB/s of the disk. Please advise.

Thats an irksome topic. I havn't used my wallet for almost 5 month. Now it is syncing for several days with the progress that I downloaded 80,000 of 540,000 blocks. Running the sync for 6 hours gives me 2% ... sorry, but this sucks. Especially, that you should transfer coins only, befor the whole chain is synced. When it synced finally, I am going for a cold storage or the paper-wallet. And then I will delete this piece of everlasting frustration immediately ...

How much GWEI must pay for a confirmation under 10 min?
40? 50? 60?

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.

What would stop Eth from becoming skynet?

Hi, I installed Ethereum Wallet for Windows, and it's stuck after 1% downloading blocks.
Same after restart, and run as Administrator.
I have the latest version of software 0.8.10.
I would appreciate help

I found a way to transfer my funds to another account. I created a backup of my mist wallet and used json file to send eth to another wallet using https://www.myetherwallet.com

Recognizing the rapid development of Ethereum in terms of market, user and customer base, the popular TV show Silicon Valley introduced Ethereum to its large target audience as an important decentralized network and technology needed to develop a new generation of internet And community of useful applications.

ICO Chicken Dinner :)

Is it safe to use the wallet version that is on github, although it is a beta release?

I shot this video of my friends and I discussing the differences between Ethereum Vs. Bitcoin Vs. NXT the night before I had to speak at the Texas Bitcoin Conference.

We tried to keep the discussion as non-technical as possible so it will benefit everyone:

1. Will Ether mining start with CPU mining as was the was the case for Bitcoin ?

2. Will it be required for miners to hold Ether to mine more ? I mean is initial buying is mandatory for miners ?

3. Multiple contracts will be made on top of Ethereum with the course of time. Will all those be mined under a single blockchain or individual contracts will have individual chains ?

4. I'm interested in developing/testing Ethereum before it's release. Can I download the client and join the network now ?

Is there somebody who can tell me now the date of the Pre-sale or IPO? Huh

We won't issue further comments regarding the Ether Sale, until we have completely finalized the framework for it. In the meantime enjoy the free technology, people are already building apps on it, which is exciting Smiley

So, when is the pre-sale?

I think in the 3rd or 4th quater.
