just got under 9usd for a short time, however challengers to the smart block chain are coming forward which may affect the price. the lisk float was the second biggest after ethereum and may have been the reason for the stunted growth rate in recent days.

Looks like the 'P' might be over and the 'D' is now in play, gee who could have guessed that? I still can't see ethereum staying up there by the end of this year but lets see what happens I don't think it will take too long until we see the top 3 by market cap be something like this again; #1 Bitcoin #2 Litecoin #3 Dash Doge will probably still be up there as well Between the ethereum launch and the cryptsy scandal/theft we may see Ripple finally sell off since liquidators will need to sell off all of cryptsy held Ripple and there also goes the trading pair status for Ripple For the next coin to be a real long term contender it will have to be one created and backed at launch by a Fortune 500
I think Dozer hit the nail on the head. People are pulling out of Ether waiting for the impact that Lisk may have. It may be a traditional P&D or could very well be a contender for Ehter. Time will tell. I wouldn't be surprised tom see Ether make a new rally once the Lisk hype has died down. This could very well become the new BC/LC of the new age of Blockchain. For me, I pulled out my Ether at $11.50 for a tidy profit with a lot of it realised. I've parked it into BC for the time being waiting for the delayed release of Lisk IO. Unfortunately I was 1 day too late to get in on the buy in for Liske. I even email the CEO to see if he'd sell me a couple of BC worth of Lisk. My request was met with a defiant NO. Fu.ck him. Hope it fails. Greed.y C.unt.
Anyone participating in 'The DAO' daohub.org ? DAO tokens equiv. ~30M USD currently; 4 days until price change relative to ETH
hadnt heard of it but took a look through the website could not find anywhere who exactly controls the private key related to the address everybody is sending eth to pass for now
The address is the contract address, rather than somebody's private wallet address So you're sending the ETH to a program with rules basically, all the code is visible
i have also invested, listened to this today https://soundcloud.com/arthurfalls/the-ether-review-26-the-dao-is high risk but seems like most of the dao is set to get the ethereum network ready for these new functions.
I think it's good to be involved as a learning/creative exercise - even just 1ETH to be part of the voting and see it evolve Had I a farm, I wouldn't be selling it though
Yep, I've chipped 200 Eth in just to be part of this experiment. So far it looks like it will be like to be part of an owners' association of a strata building with all the annoyances that it brings... But I tried anyway because I'm a sucker for new things.
DAO looks like it could crack the 100 million mark before the first phase is done currently at 98.04 Million US
Would this be helping push up the price of ethereum? Its made some fair gains over the last week or two...
yes, has now become the highest crowd funded project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_funded_crowdfunding_projects http://techcrunch.com/2016/05/16/th...w-the-autonomous-corporation-is-already-here/ http://fortune.com/2016/05/15/leaderless-blockchain-vc-fund/
The added attention certainly hasn't hurt the price- there'll be some wild swings at the end of the month I'm guessing
