I’ve typically ignored crypto related posts, just like you said HN does. Thus I don’t know anything about ethereum other than it involves contracts and blockchains. However I somehow ended up in this thread and your comment about ethereum as an app host is interesting. So know that you made at least one person google ethereum and read about it.
