Ethereum scaling issues

[pereira4]

Can Ethereum scale? How bad will it crash again with the Tezos crowfund? Just like with the Bancor crowfund or ICO, it was a disaster, the exchanges had to stop ETH trades.

Are casper and sharding scams?

Can Stratis solve the problem with the sidechain approach or is it another scam?

I hope these noobies reply on your post with reassurance that it will work plus the phrases 'ETH devs are very professional'. lol

Honestly, the scaling solutions are sensible and technically possible. However, not until these solutions are implemented the network will definitely suffer. As Vlad said on his twitter 'if people stop/reduce the usage of the platform until it is really ready, that be great'.

You can not stop floding makert with ICOs that is what is for ETH now.
Main selling poit of ETH is nice ICO and nice profit for people.
Scaaling solution will come when those projects will be live and then it will be crucial ot be ready and working.

If this is true, it's one of the most laughable things I've heard about Ethereum. With each new release claims have been made that ETH hasn't lived up to. Now the lead developer recommends people don't use it. I guess the advantage is they won't have to work so hard putting fires out.

The real problem isn't that ETH has a hard time handling an ICO. Its if a Dapp was ever created that became popular (still waiting for that) it would present much more load to the network than an ICO. This load would be there 24/7. Imagine 3 or 4 popular Dapps. Except they wouldn't be popular for long since the world supercomputer that is hundreds if not a thousands of times slower than a cell phone will not keep up.

Etherum devs wil develop working solution,untill than network can have long lunch break,closed untill we will back to work ico's may use other coins why always etherum

But i think they are working on the metropolis, I've heard about the metropolis hardfork in the future. The ethereum network gets bloatet due to the massive interest to flip in ico.
The network already over loaded. But yesterday my transaction gets delivered so fast.

yes, casper and sharding scams
it's a lose-lose situation for etholium, miners are in control and drive the price right now

You can search for Vlad's tweet, to see it for your self. I like his honesty. Currently ETH can only handle 2 ICOs a day, more than that network will have a bottle neck. Maybe it's a nice test for the network, it post the question that how can a dapp run when even running an ICO can have the system shutdown. It just proves his tweet is truthful.

Thats a price of too massive and too early adoption before network is ready for it. They will fix it, but meanwhile these backups and slowdowns would be auto-regulating it's usage.

On another note it would be nice to have profiler for smart contracts, since most slowdowns can be attributed to low quality of code of deployed contracts.

LOL, it works as long as you don't use it. You just can't make this shit up.
