Based on the messages in this thread, it looks like Ethereum
accidentally effected a "spinoff" distribution.
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/spinoff.asp Not a game changer at
all, unless you were previously playing a game where cryptocurrencies
had a restricted set of options compared to corporations.

The subject line hype about "double spend as a feature" is misleading.
