I'm an active RSS consumer. I use NewsBlur after Google Reader closed down. I highly recommend it. I found that RSS became an assumed protocol. It's so rare that RSS is missing…

What Hacker News says
9 sourcesIs this commit from Oct 4 what you're referring to? https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/commit/46a527d014851...
Ethereum is decidedly non-transactional in certain cases, like nested contract creation for instance. I don't know about this commit though.
In How Blockchain Will Change Your LifeThere are two widely-used implementations, and more that don't have as much adoption:
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
https://github.com/ethcore/parity
In The Ethereum network is currently undergoing a DoS attackFix is now merged into the development go-ethereum branch: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/3006#pullreques...
Excellent turnaround time, especially considering that most of the principal developers were asleep in Shanghai when the disruption started.
In Ethereum Nodes Crashing, Someone Attacking the Network Again?It's just kind of crazy to me the amount of DAO-specific lines of code that have been put into apparently Mist and Geth, e.g. just search "DAO" on these links [1], [2]
How many many man hours have been spent on introducing a single DAO-fork feature into the code? They didn't even build it as a generic "community referendum fork" feature just something specific to this situation? They can say "the community decides" but the community didn't decide to dedicate that amount of dev resources to putting a band-aid on a single community member's fuckup. What a mess.

In Ethereum Wallet and Mist Beta with Hard Fork choiceEthereum's Hardfork Code Has Just Been Merged
4 points · Open discussionThe patch does not block a destination address; it blocks all transfers from the DAO's source address, as a stopgap towards better solutions.
(It actually works on all instances of the DAO's code address, not just the famous ~$150M instance.)

> There's simply the notion of --illegal-code-hashes that takes a list of hashes that are placed in "ignore-mode".
In Another successful DAO attack recursive splitHi, I'm one of the co-founders and core devs of Ethereum.
Ethereum wasn't build/implemented for or on Azure. Microsoft showed support for Ethereum by offering BaaS (Blockchain as a Service) and have now adopted our in-house programming language Solidity within VS. Solidity is our higher level smart contract language that can compile down to EVM byte code (EVM - Ethereum Virtual Machine).
I can't tell you whether Ethereum will take of or not, to me it already has. Consider me highly biased being the original author of Ethereum's most used implementation :-)
To get a good feel of Ethereum and the community; take stroll through our community reddit [1], github client repo [2], solidity language [3] and some more documentation [4].
Warning: 2 & 3 are for our technical enthusiasts, 4 is very interesting. Enjoy! :-)
