I heard he was going to sign some smart contract with some miners. But I am afraid the miners might think he will defraud them.

The uptime is over, ew should now watch out how far the price will go down. With the halving tomorrow the real urge for a pump is gone.
For this reason i am watching the market closely.

So after all that drawn out debacle, they still had to opt for the hard fork? If they were gonna end up here, why not cut straight to the chase? It seems like they are drawing out what will be the obvious decision.

We have 26 days until the end of July. So the price of bitcoin could rise in the next few weeks at least.

The future of the bitcoin what will it bring i dont think it will bring allot of positive things with him because the last drop was quiet allot.
So i dont trust the bitcoin anymore and that is not good for the future of the bitcoin for sure.

GPU or ASIC...it makes no difference once the farms start mining.  In Ethereum it only takes 3 of the major pools to make decisions on a specific fork for the entire network.

Bitcoin is same.

though i think those alts might never happen to reach such market cap any time soon most probably and it wouldnt make you a lot of money in the future i think though thats just my opinion

i think i would buy some ethereum then in order to make some big profit in the future if ethereum will start growing at a really rapid pace, in this way i would manage to make some good money i think

Yes its going up and up, and I think it will go up like that in future. I`m sure we will see many more dumps also, its like that with btc from the start. And we can just try to guess when will it stop and stabilize. Bitcoin is growing, and that is visible to everyone. In that grow we see how price react on positive and negative things that happen. We need to see bitcoin much stronger in order to avoid this things, and I`m sure that will happen one day.
No one can say when, and until then people will earn from this ups and downs if they are know how, if not then buy bitcoins, put them on safe place and just wait.

a) The terms and conditions of the particular smart contract supersedes hundreds of years of US legal contract law, not! Directly or indirectly, this has been fudded all over the internet. 100% of the legal consensus is that  in the US, US contract law is the guiding agent. Who has jurisdiction is another matter, but in whatever jurisdiction, that jurisdiction's legal system is the controlling entity. You are not waving away the US court system with words written in magic pixie dust on a piece of paper.

b) It''s clear that the Ethereum foundation immediately needs to consult with legal experts in the areas of contract law and security and exchange law in order to clarify in their talks what exactly they can and cannot claim/promise. CEO's never say anything for public attribution without clearing it with legal.

I think the "attacker" deserves the funds, because and assuming he did nothing illegal (but I am not even sure if he didn't violate some obscure law). But we are discussing about perceptions of what the risks are. Please re-read my prior post as I added to it. For me, it hinges on whether they had adequately explained/disclosed the risks to the DAO and ETH investors. I suspect not (otherwise why $168m invested[1]). Thus I argue they can fork and then make the conspicuous and repeated disclosure so that it is clear they will be consistent from here on. And they pretty much have to fork in that case, else they throw themselves under the legal liability bus (but due to the decline in the ETH price they are fucked legally no matter what they do). As for the threats of lawsuits from the "attacker", these can be ignored because they can claim that the majority has the Byzantine power to fork and everyone who uses CC knows that.

Or they can take the stance that all CC investors should know the risks and that they are the owners, because it is decentralized. In that case, they shouldn't fork, but I think they will lose this argument in court perhaps. The DAO investors can file a class action lawsuit for example (which btw supercedes every international jurisdiction!) and claim to be n00bs who trusted Vitalik and Tual their idols.

I believe this clusterfuck is going to lead to securities regulation of CC.  

Vitalik is growing up very fast I think right about now.


[1] Where are the statements about how participants could lose everything if there is a bug? They should have scared away some of the money. I read 18,000 investors for $168 million, so several $1000s each.

No. leopard2 and I mean that the intent of the DAO contract is roughly not to allow 1 user take all the value out without consensus voting.

And contract law will likely enforce rule for that intent, regardless of an weakness in the code which prevents enforcing that intent.

Edit: but note it is not clear whether the law could enforce it.

I think the price consolidation around the current levels is good to absorb some profit taking and preparing for the next price rise.

Is anyone using RX 480s with powered risers?  My system runs for about 8 hours then reboots.  Plus the control center is the newer one and doesn't show temps.
