Im locked out of the hole site...
I cant even use the trollbox ....

Read in polo that there is some ETH news on the 14th...tried searching, but couldn't get anything.. Does anyone knows anything about it? Thanks in advance.

Hyperledger Absorbs The Ethereum Virtual Machine Via Monax
Hyperledger has finally achieved its goal of absorbing a piece of Ethereum. The project’s original attempt to acquire the Ethereum C++ client failed after Gavin Wood blocked the relicensing effort. For a project to join Hyperledger, it needs to be under the Apache 2.0 open source license, as all other projects in Hyperledger use that license.
There have been over 100 enterprises absorbed by Hyperledger but Monax is the first to submit a codebase with a piece of Ethereum in it. Formerly known as the Eris DB blockchain client, Burrow (as it’s now being called) contains the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which is meant to allow Monax to run executable distributed code contracts (EDCCs).More

Agreed. Its main purpose seems to be to troll ethereum. At first I thought it was nice to shed some of these lowlifes from the ethereum community, but it looks like most of them are Bitcoin maximalists and Monero supporters.

Barry will probably have some pumps, but without a community dedicated to the technology this coin will be a pump and dump vehicle. I half expect Shillbert to be thrown in jail if he ever dares to launch that etc fund.

Anyhew, go small with etc when it's low (0.0005-0.001) and sell when it has pumped 3-5x. It will probably drop right down again, so just rinse and repeat until you see Shillberts fund is "investigated".

If the fork is for the good of the coin, then it is fine.

Once again like at every dip in Bitcoin's market Ethereum showed nice covering and gaining more share from market. Ethereum looking best alternative of Bitcoin market with everything and now advancing in adoption and acceptance easy by easy.

Best result of that fork is, that all those nuts have been moving away from ETH and now are rallying round ETC.
It has been such a nice clean up operation.   

When the POS will be activated?

Tried to install the Ethereum Wallet yesterday.

It seems to have a serious first start issue. If for any chance it get's the wrong nodes on first start up it is stuck at around 3 mil open blocks.
It always sees a few nodes 1 to 3 and the 3 mil change up and down but never synchs.

After fighting it a few hours I backed up my files and wiped all files except the one in keystore.
(I found no option/console to tell ethereum to resynch the block chain or do anything for a recovery!?)
Installed it again and now it synchronizes finally.

Question: Is my passwort and the file in the Ethereum/keystore the only file I need to backup or do I need to backup more?

I still haven't figured out what Ethereum is really usefull for... but seems a lot see a value in it so I best don't ignore it completly. I need it for diversifications.
