the name Ethereum makes sense. Comes from latin Aether, Aetherum is just the "plural" of Aether, that means "heaven", "air", "sky", so it means, "many skies"... that's all Ethereum is about, endless possibilities, like many horizons, without a "set in stone" begin and end.

LOL seriously? Roll Eyes

"Ethereum" comes from Blizzard Inc, World Of Warcraft.

I honestly don't take anything that just picks a random name from a World of Warcraft game any serious. Didn't even have the creative energy to make their own unique name huh? Had to "borrow" it from a game. Tongue

And almost 40% pre-mine goes straight to devs? This is just another freakin' "DevCoin". Same shit, different package + some scripting language built into it. God-syndrome infected Greed Extravagante Deluxe. (As in, "I'm the dev, and all your money are belong to me(TM).")

I'm not even going to touch the mountain of technical problems and security-loopholes regarding the built-in scripting engine inside ethereum-coin will create at all. I'll leave that to the miners who experience it first-hand. Good luck. Grin

did it ever occur to you that WOW may have gotten their Ethereum from latin? I suppose you think WOW invented the idea of GOLD pieces too...
people who think Ethereum is such a sucky name probably are too young to remember this networking technology we used to have called Ethernet... oh wait.. its still there.. under all that TCPIP, WWW and LAN jargon...

as for mining... I'm happy to oblige.. just waiting for release so I can set my rigs onto it..
