Ethereum Genisis Block Released
The first live release of the Ethereum project has been finally released. Last Thursday, August 30, users have generated and loaded the Ethereum Genesis block, marking the launch of Frontier the newest Ethereum application. Since the first commit on Christmas Eve 2013, the Development team has been working hard and is now very pleased to announce their newest release, Ethereum Frontier. The vision of a decentralized censorship-proof World Wide Web application that anyone could program, and use by paying exclusively for what they use and nothing more, is now a reality. Ethereum takes....

The ethereum community is inching closer to blacklisting funds taken from The DAO. Software patches were released late last week that, if accepted by a majority of miners, would place a hold on funds siphoned from The DAO earlier this month. Specifically, the patch would make it so that miners running the new software won’t be able to accept transactions from blacklisted addresses affiliated with the troubled fund. The patch works by giving miners the opportunity to flag that they support the soft fork, and then use their clients to lower a metric called the 'block gas limit', which puts a....
Paul aka Paul_btc, a crypto analyst and expert, says Ethereum is not holder friendly but perfect for trade. In fact, his contention is backed by the large quantity of Ether issuance in a day. Building on his assertion, Paul adds: "Let’s take a look at the daily issuance of ETH tokens. It is quite a lot, and it doesn't decrease. So basically to maintain the price of the market there has to be buying those amount of coins daily." Ether as the crypto fuel that powers the distributed application on the Ethereum platform which at the moment essentially has no use, he contends:....
Ethereum announced the beginning of its 42-day presale for Ether, the crypto-units which will fuel its distributed application software platform. Ethereum will acquire the Ether through a premine. Due to the controversial nature of premines, Ethereum will likely face competition from forks once the project source code is released. Ether, the Fuel of the Ethereum Project, Is Available for Pre-Order. Earlier today, Ethereum began its official 42-day Ether presale. The developers are selling the Ether through a fixed-price model. Initially, 1 bitcoin will purchase 2,000 ETH, but that number....
Ethereum’s community is preparing for the second upgrade of a two parts hardfork plan to address a number of bugs that were exploited last month which slowed down the network to almost a halt. The first of the two parts hardfork was just under a month ago with Jeffrey Wilcke, founder of Ethlabs and one of Ethereum’s Geth developers, stating that the second hardfork will initiate at block number 2,675,000 which is expected in about seven days. All node operators therefore, especially any Ethereum based business and miners, will now need to upgrade to the newly released Geth client or the....
A solo Ethereum miner has just gotten what could be described as the lucky break of a lifetime after mining a single ethereum block that netted them a reward that ran into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. While ethereum’s mining difficulty is not as high compared to bitcoin, it is still a difficult, energy and computationally intensive process that discourages the average person. However, a lot of solo miners remain in the ethereum ecosystem and continue to make a profit from their mining activities. Although not all of the miners get to mine a single block that delivers a reward with....
