RSK [0] is already in beta and EOS [1] will launch a dev testnet in Q3-Q4 IIRC. RSK uses the ethereum VM so the smart contracts and dApps will be compatible/portable. [0] http://www.rsk.co/ [1] https://eos.i

I was going to post this! I've been in cryptocurrency-land since 2012 and initially the posts on HN were very occasional... now we have 2 or 3 on front-page at any time. IMO this means that we are reaching peak interest among techies.
