[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[moli1]

Those who sold at $430 to buy into alts were wrong..
Ethereum is the future baby..
Get back in while you still can and forgive your mistakes...
You don't want to FOMO back in at $600, $700, $800..
Now do you??

[Mosasaur]

Looks like another way to get money and give nothing back. Where did you dump your other projects? The ones people also invested into...

Hmm, very interesting what u thing about it right now?  Dude

If one game is creating such traffic...imagine the scenario when there are thousands of similar games or dapps on the ETH chain.... 

With this issues they can improve the chain. So i think this kind of issues improves the ether. Now they are aware of this issue.

"They" have always been aware of the issue. It's scalability. And we all know scalability solutions have been being worked on for years now!

I don't understand this thinking. How is everyone just becoming aware that NO blockchain is scalable yet!

Everyone should bookmark this: https://ethgasstation.info

It shows proper gas prices if you want your transaction to go through, as well as a ton of other stats/info regarding the network throughput. If your transactions aren't going through, raise your gas price and try again!

Thanks for that link, however, I have had a transaction pending on etherdelta for the past 3 days - set gas to 70, still nothing.

What a POS.

Thanks a lot for this website mate, this really is helpful at the current time (not only now, but now more than ever). If I understand correctly, everything under 40 Gwei is currently too low to be processed. 41 Gwei is average, and everything more than 41 Gwei is considered fast and will go through as a normal transaction in one minute or two.

I have another question regarding the under-gased transactions. If I send a transaction with low gwei and it wont go through, how long will my ETH be in this circle of unconfirmed transactions? Will it be returned after a certain number of blocks or will it be stuck there until my transaction is being processed, which could theoretically be never, because of a constant flow of higher gased transactions. Hope someone can answer this to me, thanks!

After BTC PRICE BOOM, another coin was increased 30% in one single day (LTC)....How about Ethereum? price will raise/fall soon...or be stable?

I need some advices because i have $4200 to invest now and i can't decise what coin to chooise,...i think LTC or ETH....

ETHEREUM NOW IT'S 430$..

ETH can double in price nex year?
Also, still profitable to mine?
How fast difficulty increase?

I have cheap electricy cost 0,07-0,08$ per KW.... what are best option:

Mine Ethereum or buy Ethereum?

I waiting for oppinions.
Thanks!

Ethereum is suddenly up by around $100 in the past two days, rising to its all time high of $518 once again, with the currency currently settled at around $500.One reason for this movement may be what some jokingly call trickle down cryptonomics. That is, the stupendous bitcoin bull will eventually find its way to other digital currencies, like eth.While another reason might be that traders may think btc has reached the top, and if they are of that view they may perhaps be anticipating a rise in other digital currencies as that usually follows after a rise and cool down in btc.

Well now it's down to around $430.  But i like the chances of ethereum ending the year in the high $500 to low $600 this year.  At least this coins volatility is not that high compared to bitcoin.  And its future use would be phenomenal once a lot of people will adapt cryptocurrency in general.

I have a gut feeling that ETH will trade at around $600+ by the year end but only if the they fix the current issue.

So has there been any updates on what they are doing to fix the congestion?  Yes, eth is still way cheaper then btc but the fees are getting ridiculous if you want a transaction to go through in a timely manner.

Something crazy going with ethereum blockchain and etherdelta right now. I just sent withdrawal transaction within etherdelta account, with a help of ethgasstation.info calculations. I should be paid 0.5$ but, but it costs me 1.5$.




It scares me to do operations on etherdelta, it is 1.5$ fee now, for few coins transfer, what may happen if it would be more substantial sum.

ethgasstation.info handles with very approximate data.

This is not an issue as ethgasstation just suggested the gas price for ethereum transaction, where default gas limit is 21k.You did a transaction with a smart contract (etherdelta) which have higher gas limit.
Check your trx hash and find how much gas have been used and multiply the sum with gas price suggested by EGS

checked on ethgasstation and gas limits are climbing day by day
https://etherscan.io/txsPending you can see here pending transaction but can't see here pending transaction without TxHash
and still are pending right now more then 24k transaction are pending and its due to cryptokitties usage of eth network blindly
now the lowest cost gas 50 gwei
and when send erc20 tokens price of transaction increases to more then 2$
i think eth dev team should do somthing about this
their are a lot of project on eth network in starting stage. when a project starts using eth network like cryptokitties using
what will happen then?

I agree with you, cryptokitties only one thing, how about if more project similar with cryptokitties using ethereum network, maybe the network will more slow. So i hope ethereum devs can solve and looking for a solution

I was make good money on etherdelta flipping and it all went down hill after those f*cking cats! Seriously if there were several of those stupid games how much would it cost to transact then?  How much congestion would we see then?   This has to be fixed. I don't understand how the price was still rising when the issue hadn't been resolved.

I used only 43 gas on just one transaction that failed and I payed $5.  that is ridiculous!  I'm paying minimum 10 times more for every transaction. It adds up when you're depositing, withdrawing, transferring, buying, selling, canceling, etc...over and over everyday.  And ED is looking like a ghost town for certain coins because of all the issues and delays.

Sentiment: I am strong believer in the technology of Ethereum.
I believe it will surpass Bitcoin in price just as Google smashed Altavista out of the water within a few years.
We are at the ground floor of a major revolution of how businesses trade and society functions.
It is going to open up possibilities and use cases people haven't even considered.
Relax - Ethereum will have its day.. it may be 2018.. maybe 2019 maybe 2020..
One thing is for sure though - it will be the dominant crypto in society as we know it.

So was I until a stupid cat game came along and showed a flaw. It still has not been fixed. Imagine if there were several of those stupid games.  Doesn't look good is all I'm saying and it has to be fixed.

I think anything can happen in cryptocurrency and we can't predict accurately. But i am sure one day ethereum have possibility to be bigger than bitcoin, although i don't know when will it happen, that's why i want to keep ethereum coin for long term investment

i think you are talking about Garbage Kitties ....
recently i heard that someone bought 1 kitty in $100.00.
strange..  

[Hovhannes]

I am sure that all problems will be solved, I really believe in technology of Ethereum, in my opinion we will soon see new heights.

[yizwiz33]

attack the main cause of problem...haha DDOS those kitties?? lol its a joke

[abonarea]

Take the things in broader view and aspects and you will not be worried at timely appearing issues. Actually we are going through a permanent process of experiments where these issues will appear and will be fixed before going to real mainstream. Vitalik by himself sees the real beginning in next 2.5 years as he sets roadmap for those months.

[nikveros]

I cant receive my txn arleady 5 days, txn appears and disappears for 5 days , what to do?

[brbrbrum]

I'm expecting some convincing solutions to the cat-issue. It's extremely relevant to push for much more resiliemce
