This could be the big launch of 2015.
i havnt seen anything launching any time soon that has the same potential so it could be the only big launch of 2015.. ethereum will launch, but i have heard they are FAR from ready so that could turn out to be a flop.. who knows.. actually, i heard they are supposed to launch on the 20th, anyone know if this is true?
They have a full blog on release process
https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/03/03/ethereum-launch-process/It's in various steps but supposedly, according to the blog, people can mine ether at 10% of the normal issuance rate right now, though this period is only for techies The release for non techie might be several months away
