AFAIK, next scheduled hard fork is Istanbul that is expected to happen around November this year but it is still within framework of Ethereum 1.0. As to Ethereum 2.0 its zero phase i.e Beacon Chain is planned for the end of 2019 - beginning of 2020, also via hardfork  on the understanding that all ETH addresses remain valid;  KYC, this is not the case here.


Ethereum 2.0 will not be a hardfork. It will be a new platform not connected to the original Ethereum. What the users will do is transfer their wallets from Ethereum 1.0 to Ethereum 2.0 through a smart contract.

I shake my head at this. Why did Vitalik not release a proof of stake Ethereum from the beginning?

"I'd like to take this chance to apologise, to absolutely everybody" - Conor

So it looks like a heart felt message to me as well. Anyways maybe people misunderstood his antics specially on that occasion and then as a person he find time to realised that what he did is a total dick moved specially when he found out that it was recorded.
You do not need to be a genius to know that he punched an elderly person and that too for neglecting the offer Conor gave. The only thing he can do is to come out and save his public image and i expected this interview because the backlash he got after the video is published was damaging for his brand. It was not a heart felt message, it was a PR stunt because the incident took place a few months ago and only now the video is out for the public, so you can guess what the truth is  Grin.

I wish the senior citizen files a lawsuit and he wins a million dollars for his dick move. Cheesy

The guy is done, at this point he cannot be defended, that's simply bad. He is 'retired' anyways, I honestly doubt that he will fight again, maybe one or two fights here and there for the money but I don't see him coming back as a fighter.

Dana would disagree. Dana says in some of his interviews that if the timing is right, any fight can be done. I am certain that he already has a storyboard ready for Conor's comeback in his file cabinet hehehe.

@Ronnie. This might be the bet to offer hehehe. Would Cloudbet consider something like this to be listed in the sportsbook or would it be too political?



This prompted British podcaster Peter McCormack to come up with an interesting offer to those who believe Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto. McCormack, who is currently embroiled in a libel lawsuit with Wright, said bet $10,000 that none of the coins associated with Satoshi Nakamoto will be moved within a year.

Open bet available for any $BSV CSW cultist of the belief that Craig has the Satoshi coins.

I'll put up $10k that none of these coins will be moved by CSW within a year, I'll even offer you 2-1 odds, so $5k for you.

Money locked in escrow, paid out 1 year today.

@1Referee. Agreed. However, I reckon most of us thought bitcoin was anonymous when we came in here? We might also not be the last hehe.

@HairyMaclairy. We want $0.50 hehehe.
6426  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum update on: August 28, 2019, 03:30:50 AM
@furball64. Ethereum 2.0 will not be a regular update. It will be a new platform coded from scratch.

I reckon that it might be a risk for Vitalik to do this because all the projects that were made on Ethereum might have a difficult task of migrating to the new platform.

This article has a clear contradiction. It speaks of the fact that they are using BTC as a tool of privacy and hence out of sight of governments. On the other hand, governments are monitoring these flows.

Quote
More specifically, they are monitoring Bitcoin revenue streams.

This is a weak argument. When there is no other reason to ban something we start to create fears about it so that people avoid.
I do not know what the real ratio is, but more people are speculating than the number who use BTC for dark activities.

The article mentioned bitcoin as not private nor anonymous, however, it is perceived to be. It is not the article's fault that the clear contradiction is the 2 Chinese individuals who want private transactions but used bitcoin hehehe.
6429  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Could Surpass $15,000 This Week: Max Keiser on: August 27, 2019, 04:16:42 AM
@1Referee. Agreed. Tom Lee is cofounder of Fund Strat which also invests in stocks. Tim Draper is also a venture capitalist. The 2 know how to invest money.

What was Max Keiser before bitcoin?

Let's see how he manage this rookie, coach steve is known as a good coach in experimenting his line up, but honestly, I haven't seen lately a guy like his size who are successful in the NBA. That last time I saw was Yao Ming, after his era, big man which are super tall are not anymore successful.

One thing I notice is that the pace in the NBA now are getting faster, so they can't cope up with the fast face with big minutes.
The opposing team will always find the weakness or the disadvantage so they can attack, also NBA teams now have improve their outside shooting so they have an option if the inside is well guarded.

He is actually good. I have seen him play.
He is faster than any normal big man. More faster rhan Shaq and maybe even faster than Dwight.

It will help if he gets more training on mid range shots. More like a Nowitzki type of game plus some muscle plays too.

But rookies this days are just not given that much minutes. It will be a problem for veterans and they might even do some bad behaviours in the locker room.

I googled for fast NBA center position players and this name appeared, Hakeem Olajuwon. Mabe also like him? I watched his highlights on Youtube, he plays like a forward in the offense.

@bigslimvdub. I delivered my speech early, I reckon hehehe. Someone dumped a few hours after. He might be reading this thread and came to a decision to troll me and dump some coins.
6432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum update on: August 27, 2019, 02:37:55 AM
Ethereum fork again? Why then is the price doing down? Akm seriously hoping for ethereum moon.

The answer is clear, because this version of Ethereum is not working as Vitalik had promised. It is not scalable. It failed.

Also, where is the hard fork to proof of stake? I reckon Vitalik should address this. He might be avoiding it because it will highlight his team's failure.




The digital ledger behind the supposed better version of Bitcoin is running out of capacity.

That was the warning last week from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who noted that the cost of processing transactions done in the digital token Ether on the underlying blockchain may get too expensive for some users.

Ether’s network utilization has spiked into the 90% level, according to tracker Etherscan.io. As utilization increases, transactions costs could follow suit, possibly making potential corporate users hesitate to use Ethereum, Buterin said.

Almost two years ago, Ethereum was getting clogged up as the digital game CryptoKitties took off. Then thousands of initial coin offerings, which turned out to be mostly scams, took up space on the network. More recently, though, as a majority of the ICOs went bust, a new tenant is taking over Ethereum: The controversial coin known as Tether.

In the last 30 days, Tether paid computers which process transactions on Ethereum’s digital ledger $260,000 in fees, according to data researcher Ethgasstation.info. That’s about 17.5 times more than CryptoKitties and six times more than the world’s largest distributed exchange, IDEX.


As Tether takes up more capacity, that leaves less for other developers. Ethereum was touted by enthusiasts when it was created as a better Bitcoin -- one with extra features that would let people automate tasks and even set up so-called autonomous corporations, ones that run themselves via software. But most of the most popular so-called dapps -- apps designed for such networks -- currently run on competing digital ledgers, according to tracker DappRadar.com.

@bryant.coleman. I reckon that it might be a good time to speculate on doing some short selling on bitcoin SV hehe.

However, what is Craig Wright's real plan in this situation? He knows he was going to lose the case. Is he that foolish?
6434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: August 26, 2019, 05:22:10 AM
@mich. His wife looks like a transgender. You be careful before you do anything and turn off webcam. Someone might be watching you hehehe.

Also, Dana's new opponent for Conor.

6435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum update on: August 26, 2019, 04:54:26 AM
I reckon Ethereum 2.0's release might be similar to the SEC's approval of a bitcoin ETF. Many delays.

I predict that Vitalik's release might not be until 2022 or never hehehe.
6436  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / WhalePanda invests in company that will issue ERC20 tokens for ICO? on: August 26, 2019, 04:30:01 AM
This article is clearly an attack on WhalePanda. To some of you who does not know him, he is a maximalist that has called Ethereum and all ICOs as scams. I reckon most of them deserved to called a scam, however, not all were.

In any case, why is a maximalist investing in a company that will issue tokens in Ethereum? What is the difference between his investment and another not a scam ICO investment? The paperwork? That does not make the project better. It might also fail similar to the other ICOs.



One of the most vocal “critic” of ethereum and ethereum based tokens has invested in an ethereum token (ERC20).

Stefan Jespers, known as WhalePanda, has invested close to $300,000 in a start-up that has applied to publicly sell an ERC20 token.

He is joined by other loud ethereum “critics,” like Samson Mow of Blockstream, with Charlie Lee of Litecoin here too as well as Riccardo Sapgni. That’s in addition to a number of pre-ICO investors that seem to be hidden behind LLCs.

Imagine if the $3 billion worth of bitcoins was really Warren Buffett's wallet. Oh no, they found my secret storage of rat poison squared hehehehe.

Would be funny if that old fart was holding >21000btc and had been lying all the time  Cool
Waiting for it to go to a million and then selling for 21 billion dollars.

This would be the headline hehehe. Old fart makes $21 billion on investment in rat poison squared.

However, on the news, it appears that some whales might desire more privacy to move their coins. How can this be done in bitcoin? What if the billions moving in bitcoin were really from a private investor?

His privacy is destroyed.
6438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: August 25, 2019, 03:30:32 AM
Underrated or it might also be unproven. This season with the Clippers will show what kind of an effect Kahwi has on which team he plays.

We should not be influenced by the media hype. They are similar to bitcoin news media that hype ICOs hehehe.

Winning 2 championship is enough to prove that Kawhi is star caliber type of player, actually he can retire now and he will be remembered as one of the best players in the NBA. There are a lot of good players in the NBA, but most of them did not win a championship, this guy won 2 championship and was a Finals MVP on that win.

Agreed. Kawhi is an NBA all star, however, I was asking whether he is on of the greatest of all time list with Michael Jordan, Kobe and Lebron. I do not think he is yet.

How do we know if a player a greatest of all time? Do we have a criteria for that? I think being great is now only based on the number of fans of a player and I believe Leonard does not have a lot of fans since he is kind of quite guy, other NBA star players like to tour around the world after the NBA season, that makes them gain more fan based in different countries.

Ask the experts in the thread. However, I reckon there should be a criteria for that. Why are Michael Jordan, Kobe and Lebron considered the greatest of all time? Not because they have the most no. of fans, I hope.

@estenity. I do not know. The bitcoin news media appears to be very excited to confirm that it is owned by the plustoken ponzi, however, what if the wallet is owned by a rich investor? His privacy has now been destroyed because of a few tweets hehe.
