Template:Infobox currency

Ethereum is a crypto platform which includes the ether cryptocurrency. Using a Turing-complete programming language the platform can be used to implement such things as digital contracts, a decentralized DNS, and a decentralized currency exchanges. Is is considered by many to be a second generation cryptocurency,[1] where Bitcoin is first-generation. The currency was initially described by Vitalik Buterin and others in late 2013 and early 2014,[2] and will be released in fall 2014.

Reception

The currency has received attention in Wired,[3][4] the Globe and Mail,[5] and Silicon Angle.[6] It has been criticised by Daniel Kraswiz for being yet another alt-coin,[7][8] to which Buterin has responded that many new businesses do not become massively successful and alternative cryptocurrencies should be no different.

Yay. This is how Deletionpedia v2 got started. Guaka (talk) wanted to rescue some Wikipedia articles for Coinwiki.
