Yes, I'm in the same boat with you. I've heard micro version of it is coming soon. December if I remember right. Micro in this case meaning payment channels that only work one way.

So scaling solutions to Eth are coming and they are even developed by other teams than the Ethereum Foundation which is really cool. It will be hard to stop Ethereum, just so much dev power behind it.

• Also Augur has said to be ready to launch soon, they've sent their smart contracts to be audited. If everything comes back green, they'll launch.

• Dai stablecoin is coming in december.

• SingularDTV launching first modules today

Ethereum is picking up Steem. One could say.
