ETH and ETC counting their last days, already we can see they are slowing down.
We could see major crash of one of those..And whales probably awaiting new fresh blood..

Maybe you're right, but at the moment they are managing to pump the two cryptos, even with the recent increase in the number of coins in circulation (the coins drained from the DAO).

It is possible that the price of the two coins are already pumped. With out the pump, the price could be lower.

There is a big conference about Ethereum now. After the conference, the price could rise.

It has been a long day... I wish I had a bigger breakfast, because I was starving by the time of the first coffee break.

Most of the things I saw were kind of things I read somewhere, apart of the following (I either missed them of they weren't known):

Swarm has 100+ node test network on Azure

Swarm is generalising the notion of Judge out of their SWindle litigation protocol

Vlad went "back to basics" and presented a provably safe way to achieve agreement on 1 bit (every Validator produces an estimate of single Boolean value) with Casper "bets". He also went "back" to FLP impossibility result, with their proof based on bivalent configurations, and applied similar thing to proving safety in Casper (if it is possible to prove that only an incorrect bet can change the estimate of a validator, given arbitrary adversary). Safety does not imply liveliness, therefore his work is still bound by FLP impossibility, but if you assume censorship resistance (essentially limiting the adversary), it can still work.

Transpiling EVM code into WebAssemply is a very cool idea, because one can then run EVM natively in most modern browsers. With far reaching consequences.

Raiden network generalised to support any ERC20 tokens, and presented a cool demo with an electricity meter, and switch controlled by a payment channel.

Zcash will launch on the 28th of October. I need to find out what is the mining like.

Perhaps I missed a few things, but this seems to cover new things for me.

P.S. if anyone wants to find me, I seem to be the only person wearing trouser braces (aka suspenders).

P.P.S. Technology-wise, everything just worked for me - my sim works in roaming, i've got WiFi in the room, Google and Gmail work too, as well as everything else I use.. without VPNs.
