No post here for 3 months... I thought may be it is time for an update about how the story is unfolding.

The coding of Ethereum is still going strong. Latest can be observed here:
http://github.com/ethereum

As of right now they have released their proof-of-concept "PoC 8".
https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/1864/ethereum-poc-8-released

I, like many other developers, have been learning and experimenting smart contract development on Ethereum "testnets" for many months.

It works.

Will the genesis fail? Will the Ether economics hold? Will a fork of it (say from IBM) succeed better?

Who knows... but clearly Ethereum is already *real*.... and if somehow its first official blockchain fails, then it will be tweak and revived one way or another.

Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing it as a Bitcoin sidechain.

Sidechain? Bitcoin is worthless compared to innovative altcoins we see here.
