ethereum presale has started. If deves don't amend the ipo price, investors will go there
If people don't like this they aren't going to like Ethereum. They don't even have anything ready, there are no refunds if they don't deliver, and the planned delivery is for the end of the year anyway. I would rather invest in something that is here now.
I have to agree and I even though I myself was rather excited for Ether (in the spirit of innovations and crypto-evolving) after reading where they are at developmentally, the terms and pricing of their IPO/presale and their
very long timeline I am extremely happy (and proud) to be part of Syscoin.
We've been testing for months. We have these features working, we'll have more videos rolling out soon (now that much of the chaos has calmed down) to further prove this stuff is real. All of this is enabled through the JSON-RPC as @coderboo mentioned creating huge business opportunities for developers or investors with some vision to hire a dev to build one of a myriad of products on top of Syscoin.
I agree that Ether vs. Sys is a bit of Apples to Oranges as well, but when it comes down to it I can state for a fact we have this stuff working NOW, have tested it very thoroughly, and are very confident in what we're bringing to the table and when we can launch Syscoin with the features as stated in the preann/OP. 
So when will the changes be announced?
We will be going over the figures later tonight.. (Will be around 02:00 GMT.).
Will announce the details after that.
+1 big change coming.
