When the network hash rate increases, for the same amount of electricity cost (power), you get less Eth. So the break even price of your mined coin is going up. The electricity price per kWh is fixed.
Mining cost doesn't create the value. That's a popular myth. If you are pure for-profit-miner, you dump your coins for whatever the current market value is. If it's lower than your cost, you'll just stop mining. Market (buy/sell orders) is shaping the price and influencing hash-rate size, not the other way around. At very best, current cost/coin can only create psychological expectation of what the price should be. You are completely right. My last post unwittingly presupposed this and was more a sort of reflection on the psychology of having a PoW vs PoS. |

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Do you think is possible to have poS on eth?
Real pos,not just variant of it, like normal altcoins.

Is this going to be broadcast live with Q/A from online viewers? It seems like an asshole/elitist move to try and make money off of conferences. They should do everything public. If they need more funds they should run a 2CO and dilute coins. We should also sign the devs to contracts with the 2CO funds so that we know how long we get them for. |

It depends on how much money they raise to compete Ethereum. |

BTC price raises, altcoins price drop Strange... DGB and GEO are both up today. I think ETH is dropping because it was over priced. It's not much better than your average altcoin. You will probably see many altcoins integrating a Turing complete programming language on their block chains before ETH ever has a "killer app" Also AUGUR has over 1 million ETH to dump for $ |

If they dump it slowly, over a month, that will be absorbed by the market. The market volume is 0.5 million per day recently. |

There are too many cheap Eth around. The 50 million ICO price is around $0.3 each. And there are around 12 million Eth allocated to developers. It will take 9-12 months to absorb those and newly mined coins. It is not profitable to mine for most miners now. |

You would think the devs want to hold onto it but nope. They sell it off. It's a really bad sign if the devs don't even want to keep the coins. |

There should be a lock in period for the developers coin. 12 million Eth is quite a lot of money even for $0.5/Eth. |
