Warning: moved

EtherSim has been adopted by EthereumJS and subsequently refactored to what is now known as TestRPC

There is also a fork by the amazing guys at NexusDev who did contribute upstream in a true open source spirit. However TestRPC is far better maintained these days and it's recommended devs use it.
