now that the big eth fundraiser was called off, I'm more sympathetic. its probably thanks to communal efforts that it was called off. I think there should be some guidelines for such power-plays.
r0ach thanks for your posts. you're one of the few who realize that these problems are not merely technical.
I don't understand how eth even pretends to solve the hashing power problem. Anyway.
I think we need to separate two issues:
1 - Ethereum the technology
2 - Ethereum's fund raiser
I have a problem with #2 as did many if not most BTC supporters. So, let's not cloud the money issue with what Ethereum can do. If you listened to the latest Let's Talk Bitcoin Podcast, where the leaders of Ethereium, Mastercoin and Invictus were talking, it seems like Etherium has a pretty good idea. But even the other guys joked about the 30,000 BTC fundraiser - God that sounds a bit much. And that is
for starters. But again, Ethereum the technology sounds very very interesting. And one of the preceding (not to mention colored coins as well) will probably be firmly entrenched before years end.
