Every day, new solutions are making Ethereum stronger and easier to use for developers and a growing user base. ETHNews explores some of the upcoming projects that are ensuring the platform will play a dominant role in the internet of tomorrow. Since its initial release in July 2015, the rate of development seen by Ethereum has been nothing short of incredible. The Ethereum value exchange network outperforms Bitcoin in terms of speed, cost, reliability, and energy efficiency and its smart contract platform for programming is gaining traction as the de facto platform for building distributed applications. Very soon, all of the dots for the next phase of the internet will be in place for Dapp developers and users to join together. The internet of tomorrow will be an internet of value and those who participate in it will be able to seamlessly make exchanges using programmable digital currencies, such as Ethereum.

Ethereum Project NEWS 07-03-2017 Building a Decentralized Exchange in Ethereum https://blog.gnosis.pm/building-a-decentralized-exchange-in-ethereum-eea4e7452d6e#.vev1malmf- forever (some) guaranteed liquidity for a token once a market maker is funded
- every token can be easily exchanged in any other token (accessible for contracts as well)
- new tokens can be added by funding a market maker with a number of those tokens and either ETH or a bundle of the already added tokens (not decided yet which route we go)
- every price movement in the "real" market will create an incentive to make a trade here and thereby update the price information
- in this form mainly useful as an price oracle by there are ways to extend it to a real DEX

@rh7 @somemikesena "Blockchain + Identity = ❤️" @uport_me @ConsenSysLLC @ethereumprojecthttps://twitter.com/ConsenSysAndrew/status/838856524369969154- uPort is an open source software project to establish a global, unified, sovereign identity system for people, businesses, organizations, devices, and bots.
Ethereum The World Computer 07-03-2017 The Promise of Blockchain Is a World Without Middlemen https://hbr.org/2017/03/the-promise-of-blockchain-is-a-world-without-middlemen?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=hbr- Let’s start by examining the potential effects of this on an industry that touches all of our lives – banking. The banking industry is filled with shared resources
Blockchains are a data buffet for AIs - Fred Ehrsam https://medium.com/@FEhrsam/blockchains-a-data-buffet-for-ais-883fd2683eac#.pexfqw9a4- AIs are only as good as the data they are trained on. And while many of the tech giants working on AI like Google and Facebook have open sourced some of their algorithms, they hold back most of their data.
- And oracle systems (a fancy way of saying getting people all over the world to report real world information to the blockchain in a way we can trust) like Augur will inject more data.
EntEthAlliance Technical Vision document v0.3 https://entethalliance.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/36872/EntEthVision-v3.0-170222.pdf?api=v2- Enterprise use of blockchain technology has evolved at an almost unfathomable rate over the past 24 months. Through early bitcoin experiments, senior bankers joining start-ups, the launch of Ethereum, the creation of industry consortia, and countless conferences, blockchain has emerged as one of the top enterprise IT trends entering 2017.
- Ethereum is, arguably, the most commonly used blockchain technology for enterprise development today. With more than 20,000 developers globally (our estimate), the benefits of a public chain holding roughly $1bn of value, and an emerging open source ecosystem of development tools, it is little wonder that Accenture observed 'every self respecting innovation lab is running and experimenting with Ethereum'.
Announcing Kovan: the new testnet for Ethereum using Parity's Aura PoA consensus engine. https://github.com/kovan-testnet/proposal- Immune to spam attacks (as Ether supply is controlled by trusted parties)
- Consistent 4 second block time
Rinkeby - Cross client Proof-of-Authority testnet https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/225- For those not aware of how PoA works, it's a very simplistic protocol, where instead of miners racing to find a solution to a difficult problem, authorized signers can at any time at their own discretion create new blocks.
- The challenges revolve around how to control minting frequency, how to distribute minting load (and opportunity) between the various signers and how to dynamically adapt the list of signers. The next section defines a proposed protocol to handle all these scenarios.
Week in Ethereum - March 5, 2017 http://www.weekinethereum.com/post/158062477803/march-5-2017- Tons of Ethereum's update and news
Proxy Libraries in Solidity https://medium.com/zeppelin-blog/proxy-libraries-in-solidity-79fbe4b970fd#.ruuauyvle- We recently read some articles about neat tricks and hacks one can do in Solidity. Specifically, Jorge Izquierdo’s article on Library Driven Development and Simon de la Rouviere’s article on ThrowProxy.
- That got us thinking about using those ideas to turn Zeppelin into an upgradeable blockchain-deployed library

I think a downward move in altcoins will happen after ETF announcement whatever it will be. If yes, people will sell altcoins and buy Bitcoin to benefit the anticipated upward price movement. If no, people will sell Bitcoin and they will do the same with altcoins (just because every time Bitcoin falls altcoins also fall as it was today).

Eth and Xmr appear to take a bigger hit, because they have much smaller market caps than btc. I bet if we were to wage the delta in prices vs the ratio in market caps, that depreciation difference wouldn't exist.

Circle’s new Spark protocol is a smart contract driven approach for utilizing state channels to keep mobile peer-to-peer transaction costs low while providing added security and privacy. On day two of MIT’s Bitcoin Expo 2017, Circle Principal Engineer Anders Brownworth gave a presentation that focused on Circle’s latest updates, which include its newest Ethereum-based protocol known as Spark. The Spark protocol will allow Circle to create permissioning contracts to be built into the core of the protocol. The core permissioning contract acts as an authority by requiring smart contracts to ask permission from it before any function is executed. Permissioning contracts will also point to the latest version of a smart contract and notify the core when a new version of that contract is available.

Ethereum’s Ropsten testnet was suffering from a spam attack that was slowing down block times significantly. This led to the birth of the Parity-only Kovan testnet and the proposal of the cross-client Rinkeby testnet. Ethereum’s Morden testnet ran from July 2015 to November 2016. While anyone using Ethereum can create a testnet, Morden was the first official public testnet. Due to long sync times stemming from a bloated blockchain, and consensus issues between the Geth and Parity clients, the testnet was rebooted and reborn as Ropsten. Ropsten ran smoothly as the public testnet until the end of February 2017. According to Péter Szilágyi, a core developer for Ethereum, the end of February is when “malicious actors decided to abuse the low PoW and gradually inflate the block gas limits to 9 billion (from the normal 4.7 million), at which point sending in gigantic transactions crippling the entire network. Even before that, attackers attempted multiple extremely long reorgs, causing network splits between different clients, and even different versions.”
