Death of Ethereum Mining? Casper Implementation Date

[mmbingo]

We all know Casper is coming, and with it, the shift to PoS and eventually the "Ethereum Ice Age"

But does anyone know when this day will come? When will Phase 1 of Casper happen, where every 100th block is PoS?

No further updates about the the upcoming Constantinople fork were provided at the last Etherum Foundation core developer meeting on Friday other than saying further updates should be provided at the next meeting in two weeks, some discussion about implementing account abstraction in Constantinople and a shout-out to BBT

Hey mmbingo,
While Proof of Stake is a very promising consensus mechanism, it's also a very complex system to fully implement. Casper involves a long and drawn out process of consensus conversion. While the goal is to completely switch to PoS down the road, implementing such a mechanism has to be done gradually to sustain a healthy blockchain. While there's no official release date, Casper is currently in Alpha and only supports Pythereum. Before it can ever be implemented on the main net, they'll have to build support for Geth and Parity. There's a lot of obstacles to overcome still, and mining should be safe for some time to come. The best way to stay up to date would be to follow several of the developers on Twitter. They post regular updates on Casper, sharding, and other technical achievement. I hope this helped!
