This seem interesting, it's about eth so it must be a scam right ? https://twitter.com/oraclizeit/status/875346068199936000
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Bitcoin vs Eth TPS on: June 15, 2017, 11:48:52 AM
So, currently bitcoin handles about ~290k transactions per day / 3.3tps . Ethereum atm has 4.22TPS ( with enough room for more ), meaning it handles about ~25% more transactions, and they still cost cents compared to ~5$ on bitcoin. This is merely an example to combat FUD where trolls claim bitcoin scales better currently.

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Shit just got real on: June 11, 2017, 01:58:28 PM
According to http://www.flippening.watch/ , ethereum surpassed bitcoin in volume, mining reward ( aka most secure chain by hashrate ) and nodes, having 4 times more. To be noted that even though ethereum has 92% of bitcoin's transactions, technically it has MUCH more because tokens that work on it aren't taken into consideration.

Which means, today, ethereum surpassed bitcoin by any metric, except for the market cap. Some of you listened to trolls and thought ethereum is a scam, some of you saw past that.

8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Monetary Authority of Singapore to tokenise SD on ethereum on: June 07, 2017, 04:50:04 PM
So, this is really cool http://www.trustnodes.com/2017/06/07/singaporean-dollar-tokenized-ethereums-blockchain-monetary-authority-singapore

Although they will use a private implementation of ethereum, this statement is really important:
 "The tokenization was inspired by R3’s Project Jasper, which was trialed by the Bank of Canada, but they seem to have opted for the use of Ethereum, probably because it has a public blockchain which may allow for greater interoperability and security."

So, while these domestic currencies will have their own private chain, they will be most likely interoperable with the public implementations for extra security.

11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Russia to use Ethereum blockchain / technology on: June 06, 2017, 05:54:17 PM
Interesting article https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-06/putin-eyes-bitcoin-rival-to-spur-economic-growth-beyond-oil-gas

Few Quotes:

Russian president met with founder of cryptocurrency Ethereum

Country may use Ethereum to create national virtual currency

So yeah.Please do listen to internet trolls that tell you ethereum is a scam. They definitely know better than everyone else, because they care so much about you, they don't want you to lose money. Or maybe because they want you NOT to make money, since less early adopters means more $ later for each early adopter.

13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum scaling/payment channels on: June 05, 2017, 03:49:22 PM
So, this seems to me pretty huge. State channels CAN be programmed into ethereum right now, there's no need for raiden ( although raiden is more full of an implementation ).

14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Vladimir Putin and blockchain on: June 05, 2017, 09:57:03 AM
So apparently meeting Vitalik in person was on Vladimir Putin to do list, proof on Kremlin's website http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/54677

This confirms what Vitalik said a while ago that he spoke with Putin and several CEO's behind closed doors.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum, Vitalik and Vladimir putin ? on: June 03, 2017, 08:36:49 AM
So, about the St. Petersburg's international economic forum, where vitalik participated. At first i thought it was mostly blockchain related, but blockchain was just the new focus of the industry. The date was set by russia's president, who attented it aswell and held his own speech, where he talked with vitalik ( or better said, vitalik talked to him ). Just speculation but I assume in about 1-2 weeks we'll see few russian giants joining EEA.

17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, maximalists and regulation on: June 01, 2017, 03:03:55 PM
I remember a time when bitcoin community used to stand for decentralization  (against centralization), fighting regulation with bitcoin as a weapon, a token/coin for the people supposedly immune to government reach, regulation and centralization.
But things have changed. Those lucky enough to be "early adopters", drunk with power and money became arrogant, dumb, greed and egocentric and tried to centralize bitcoin power in their own hands wether it's a fight between bitcoin groups or simply bitcoin vs other communities and they have destroyed it (bitcoin).

Now, one of the bitcoin maximalists, a guy that makes a living harrasing people on twitter to come " at his show " doesn't want decentralization anymore and feels threatened by ethereum and icos and begs for SEC to step in because, quote, "ICOs & ‘Tokens’ are killing innovation". What innovation ? Public blockchain scene is where it is because bitcoin has rivals and will force it to evolve. This is what decentralization means. Feeling threatened is foolish and if you are one of those, cash out or diversify. It's stupid to turn back to authority when you claim you're here to get away from it. It just means you only came here because you tossed a coin and decided it worth the risk without enough due diligence.

Altough i do believe a few of these ICOs may be scams ( most of them won't fail because they are scams, but because of incompetency of dev teams ), some of them are actually game changing ( like BAT ). And i do agree a better solution is needed for handling these ICOS that sell out in seconds (i've paid 100E in fee and still didn't get in).

18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Bitcoin vs ethereum nodes ? on: May 30, 2017, 11:51:00 PM
Interesting fact, 24k nodes vs 7k nodes. Bitcoin used to have ~10k nodes many months ago, ethereum used to have about  12-13k 1 year ago perhaps.

20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Maximalism mentality. Does it still stands ? on: May 30, 2017, 02:18:00 PM
I am curious about what some bitcoin maximalists think;

1. Do you guys still believe the most secure chain by hashrate should be the only one ?
2. Do you  believe the most liquid chain should be the only one ?

I ask these questions because for weeks now ethereum is the most secure by hashrate and the most liquid chain in terms of volume. And most people said, usually bitcoin maximalists, that the most secure chain by hashrate and the most liquid one, aka biggest volume, is the only one that matters.
