Title: Ethereum Casper Post by: cryptoreal6 on August 20, 2018, 03:31:57 AM Do you think Ethereum casper can solve its scalability problem?
Title: Re: Ethereum Casper Post by: alvin345 on August 20, 2018, 10:42:04 AM Eth is the strongest alternative cryptocurrency, I believe in its bright future and I also believe that its will overtake this stagnancy in the nearest future.
Title: Re: Ethereum Casper Post by: butka on August 20, 2018, 11:00:24 AM First of all, let's see where actually Casper currently is. In spite of the announced switch to Casper's PoS protocol, it's nowhere to be seen. From a recent news article:
Quote However, the much-awaited Casper update is unlikely to be deployed until mid-2019. Thus, the so-called difficulty bomb is indefinitely postponed and the supply cap for ether remains unknown – factors adding up to high inflation. Source: https://cryptoslate.com/report-nearly-2-5-billion-paid-annually-to-ethereum-miners-eth-issuance-woes-continue/In the meantime, scalability is not the only problem ETH has. For example, as mentioned in the article, ETH's inflation rate is almost two times the inflation rate of BTC (and unlike what currently ETH has, the BTC inflation rate is projected to gradually go to zero). A part of the problem with ETH is the fact that there is no supply cap in the Ethereum system. So if you ask me, I don't know if Casper will solve anything, because PoS is not the ideal consensus mechanism it is advertised to be. But they should certainly give it a try. |
