hey guys, the Mist wallet has eth built in.
https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases
Looks like it is currently vers. 1.2.4, see the release notes

Im curious about this too.

There are options/alternatives if you don't want to setup a Mist wallet on your computer. Using the wizard gives you these options:


I sent eth using a local Mist wallet, so I can't give any info in terms of the alternative methods.

I dont mind newbies trying to troll lol
Sometimes im surprised at the higher level of trolls that appear here. lol
I think they been bagholding a loooooong time and fear the ETH. 
They overlook the fact that ETH & ETH projects have helped prop up BTC price alot recently.
Instead they choose to come here and make fools of themselves and look real stupid.
Major financial institutions, inc major BTC busineses worldwide are well aware of the potential and need for ETH.
Trolling ETH has no ethect...fact

Hi Etherians!

I'm from Minergate, one of the leading cryptocurrency mining pools.

We have recently updated our 1-click GUI miner to v.6.0, featuring Ethereum mining!

Key features:
PPLNS fee is 1% for Ethereum
Mining Etehreum in one click: no system configurations and tutorials required, just run the app
Effective CPU-mining: With our variable difficulty, you can submit shares in each block, mining on a usual PC
GPU-mining supported: The pool will automatically give you a more difficult task, if you have greater capacity*
* Nvidia GPU mining (min. 2GB RAM) is already supported. AMD GPU mining is scheduled for release.

Here's a screenshot:
