If you were in my shoes, how would you prefer to be forked?
And who are the miners who will ultimately decide our fate? Anybody here mining Ethereum, who we can appeal to?
I kind of hope it is soft, because I can't see much benefit to a hard one.

Good thread idea. How do the speeds and TPS compare?

wait till v5 is out ( coming really soon now). With this version it does not matter if you have an Asic or GPU miner as there been some changes also to ensure you mining is in the same boat as asics  Thanks |

Ethereum is aligning their mainstream marketing strategy with the most popular social apps in the world in order to beat bitcoin: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-04/key-oil-upside-catalyst-gone-niger-delta-avengers-twitter-account-suspendedAligning with the command and control strategies of Facebook, youtube, Paypal, and Twitter (maintaining full rollback capability) will not only ensure that the Ethereum Foundation will continue to control of their blockchain forever, but will convince the masses that Ethereum is better than a coin which allows and encourages theft and ransom (BTC). |

I'm looking on Coinmarketcap 100 website, but I do not see the field for "annual coin creation inflation" for comparison.
Can anybody point me to a website that offers a comparison for this most critical coin aspect?
Thanks in advance.

Just wanted to make the DAO webmaster aware of a simple communication error on the DAO homepage in the mission statement. I think that you meant to use quotes instead of boldface type: https://daohub.org/The DAO's Mission: To blaze a new path in business operating solely with the steadfast iron will of unstoppabe codeYou obviously meant to say: The DAO's Mission: To blaze a new path in business operating solely with the steadfast iron will of "unstoppable code" It's just a small error/bug that's easy to fix. You wouldn't want to be accused of misleading the public now. We are the crypto community and we are happy to help you proofread and find bugs. Usually we offer our services free of charge, like this. You're welcome. |

I tried to speak to WBB dev, but I can't understand what he means. Can anybody translate Swiss? Hi When we move over to the regulator system wbb blockchain is not in the wallet anymore or on a miners setup. To get there we will have a soft forks it is needed to switch to new system. After this is done all wbb will be on v5 wallet and the blockchain is taken away from local system and wallets do not download and sync the chain as connection will be instantly. Thanks Thanks for the response.
I'm assuming that the only way to hard fork the system will be to convince every member of the federation to run a new fork, and so basically, since the only way to fork the system is to set up a 100% parallel system? If that is the case, then you could argue that there is no way to fork the WBB blockchain after it starts (since you need 100% federation participation). Unless it would only require a smaller %?
So it would seem that the strength/diversity of the federation is what determines the amount of fork-resistance.
Hi If someone would try to set up a copy system it want work and regulators are trusted businesses , so this will help to ensure that a single entity can fork it on v5 That's sad v5 is the way forward. Thanks Peter From what I read, the "regulators" are the businesses who run the federated servers. No single business has access to the whole chain, and if a couple go down, then the rest of the federation still has the full chain as a group, but again, no one individually has access to the full chain. It seems like a dynamic system that self heals as long as no more than a certain percentage of federated ("regulated") nodes go down. WBB is POW with low float, but I'm not going to speculate until I see at least a white paper. |

After the hard fork, everybody will think that the "attacker" had their 10% ETH stake taken away and will sing praises, while Goldman Sachs secretly built up a 20% stake! https://steemit.com/ethereum/@etherqueen/dao-attack-is-more-than-just-an-inside-job-it-is-a-legally-planned-publicityThe DAO "Attack" resulting in Ethereum's "Fund Freeze" proves to the big banks that Ethereum is now a serious competitor for their business just like Ripple did successfully last year: http://insidebitcoins.com/news/not-so-decentralized-ripple-freezes-1m-in-user-funds/31862Ripple never left the Top 5 crypto list after publicly freezing user funds, and neither will Ethereum. This is precisely because the Ethereum Foundation has publicly demonstrated effective control over its blockchain. This exact strategy has kept Ripple among the top cryptos, and proves that courting banks through demonstrable central control is an effective way to compete for real bank business weather Libertarians like us like it or not. https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-and-xrp-can-cut-banks-global-settlement-costs-up-to-60-percent/Right now, the Bitcoin-Libertarian crowd cannot see what is right in front of their nose. Ethereum doesn't want their business, because: The banker doesn’t look at how she can make incremental improvements to today’s systems with blockchain technology, but how she can position her bank to survive and thrive through the evolutionary change already underway. Ethereum has just thrown it's hat into the ring . This is not jokes or FUD, but sound business strategy in play, combined with some insider trading, "weak hand shaking out," and of course, "accumulation," that can never be proven. Congratulations Ethereum for re-positioning yourselves from the Bitcoin-Libertarian fringe into the lucrative mainstream big banking sector. If you don't think I'm right, just wait until the next twist occurs: Banks start taking interest as the price reverses. This is how Wall Street takes a position in a company in the real world. It's just that the crypto crowd is not used to seeing this close up. After the hard fork, everybody will think that the "attacker" had their 10% ETH stake taken away and will sing praises, while Goldman Sachs secretly built up a 20% stake! |

Open ledger is gox-proof (least risky) but low liquidity

It looks like freezing coins is much easier than I thought in the Coinmarketcap Hot 100 since all a bigtime dev has to do is propose it. So I'm wondering which coins have devs who have left the project like bitcoin and bitshares, or are designing systems that do not allow for hardforking even when there is consensus. Please help here, as you can see, my list is small, and I do not want a coin that is forkable AT ALL. Thanks.
Please give me a reason to put coins on this list. Coins with rock rock star devs like Vitalik, Evan, Sunny King, and Fluffy Pony have godlike control over their networks, and I am looking for the opposite (coins with no well known devs but many unknown devs).
Please correct me if I am wrong abouf any posted info thanks.

Simple Question, but the answer can mean the difference between hundreds and millions. I am just learning anout hardware crypto solutions, so any help you can offer is appreciated.

July 4th is not when the pizza gets passed out, but when you get paid an extrordinarily high amount of bitcoin just for doing something as mundane as delivering a pizza, or running a program on a laptop, or in this case, posting a story or link or just upvoting a post. It's a celebration of the lucrative early days of bitcoin. https://steemit.com/steem/@tuck-fheman/steem-life--vol-4--random-shitThose dollar values you see are how much in bitcoin they will get paid out on July 4th. after July 4, the difficulty increases making it harder to mine, just like what has happened to bitcoin over the years The guy in the link is looking at 100 bucks just for drawing a comic. Pizza delivery is much more perilous! If we want to bring bitcoin to the masses, then we must market it positively, and celebrating the fun and free early bitcoin years is the perfect way to show the people just how innocent and harmless and fun that bitcoin was as a kid. Bitcoin is all grown up now and is like the 40th largest organization on earth by marketcap, and people hate large cap companies nowadays so its good to remember bitcoin as a fun loving youth with a small marketcap. |

it is always recommended to deposit from personal wallet.
Why does it matter as long as the BTC makes it to its destination I should not need anymore information (address or priv key sent from) in order to claim my waves right. Assuming that the transaction goes through, why would a personal wallet be better than an exchange wallet (after the transaction clears)? |
