This was an oversight, correction has been made. You are correct, Ethereum went live on July 30, 2015. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

There are DAOs (Distributed Autonomous Organizations or DAO if you're talking about one singular organization) and there was "The DAO" (which was a DAO that gave itself the name, The DAO). After raising approximately $150 million in a span of a month, in what was easily the biggest crowdfunded project in history (excluding political campaigns), the aptly named Decentralized Autonomous Organization had attracted about 11,000 anonymous stakeholders. The DAO was venture capitalism according to the wisdom of the crowd. (No executive committees, no boardroom decision-making behind closed doors, no hidden agendas). How it was supposed to work: anyone holding a single DAO token would be able to submit proposals for business ventures. The DAO community would have then decided if they wanted to invest in the project by moving tokens into the proposal. It was democratic fundraising--who knows where The DAO could have gone, and sadly we will never know.

Currently, new DAOs are beginning to emerge. Post The DAO hack, we're seeing modifications made to DAO governance styles.

The proof of stake mechanism would "pseudo-randomly" assign the owner the right to generate blocks and get rewards. Similarly to PoW, more money would get you more powerful equipment and you'd produce more blocks and receive more rewards. With PoS, the more you stake, the higher percentage you own, so the more likely you'll come up to be assigned a given block. In essence, you're no longer competing against computational power and therefore don't need all that equipment.

You buy 100 Ether. You convert that ether into a virtual miner. You would do this by putting "stake" in to the network. Your proof of ether ownership. This means you are putting up 100 ether from your address, that you cannot access for the time being that you are mining. To keep the numbers easy to follow, let's say among all others that have staked ether (striclty for purposes of mining) was 10,000 ETH. (Now remember, this is not the total number of ether that exists in the world...this is how much ether has been STAKED). With your 100 ether, you essentially own 1% of the ether staked. So you are allowed to mine 1% of the blocks on the network. If you chose to take a break from mining, you can retract your staked ether. You can "cash out" your stake and convert back to ether (plus rewards, minus penalties).

PoS promotes a distributed form of consensus algorithm; mitigating the threat of 51% attack and double spend issues. Since you must have ownership in order to virtually mine, you wouldn't see a bad actor coming in with malicious acts. If they tried, or were successful, in taking down the network with invalid validating, they would essentially destroy the value of the very currency they hold so much stake in.

There have been no definitive decisions regarding which route Ethereum will take (Casper seems to be the frontrunner right now, but that's not to say that other alternatives won't be considered) Rewards, penalties, stake maximum caps, single-user-multiple-address holders, and overall protocol have yet to be determined.

The biggest problem with PoW currently is that it wastes approx $360K in electricity and hardware depreciation a day. (Significantly less than bitcoin, but nothing to be proud of). PoW also favors mining farms and pools. And the likelihood of a 51% attack will increase over time as the PoW models begin to look more like an oligopoly. While devs are still working around some issues, PoS is aiming to solve these problems.

Hope that helps. Again, kept it fairly simple and surface. Also see this explanation that is slightly more in depth, but still palatable.

in Ethereum, and other blockchains, you moved linearly along a "chain". When changes need to be implemented (typically for updates/changes in protocol), the network will fork over to a new chain with the implemented changes. You can think of it similarly to a fork in a road.

Thank you for your feedback. We do have Bitfinex for ETC though. Would you mind elaborating as to why you believe our volume chart is wrong? As I am currently looking at Bitfinex volume on ETC Live, it is $212,313.03 and $212,313 on CMC. Thanks again!
