[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[lhfly2019]

In my mind,Vitalik is great as Satoshi!
I am a newbie of the crypt--currency,I missed the genesis of the Ethereum.
But I will grow up with the Ethereum in the last of my life!
Vetalik commit his promise and make our world a better place!
He is a real man!

I am so exciting to read the genesis post written by the Vitalik.
I think he is the God of the blockchain world after the Satoshi disappeared.
He is a really powerful guy,but he is not greedy.
He just wanna make the world better!
We are so lucky to live in a world where Vitalik exists!
Best wishes to Vatalik!

Maybe Vitalik is Satohi Nakomoto? A genius is hiding from his glory. Both of these personalities are worthy of respect.

Ubuntu 16.04.03LTS had lots of CPU and GPU related issues and bugs.

You may want to re-install newer Ubuntu 16.04.04 LTS.

Back on point as an OS - bugs and issues related to CPUs and GPUs have disappeared!

Is ETH going to switch over to POS at some point?  I haven't been keeping up with that info.  Is the rumored amount still going to be 1500 eth?

[darrenwgray]

ETH is something that is too cheap, I think it's time for it to cost 2000 dollars at least.

I think the time has yet to come. It might happen by the end of the year.

Yes it is, ethereum will try to switch its way to the POS system but i'm not sure about ethereum will be going to full 100% PoS, I have seen some people were discussing about that and it looks like ethereum will try to take hybrid system. As the result of pos casper the block reward already decrease a lot and it may get another decrease again in this year.

Vitalik couldn't be Satoshi, unless he is also an alien. Back in 2008 Vitalik was only 14 yo. Do you think a 14 yo boy can be such a genius?

[Zontop]

Ethereum is once again available for reasonable price to pick for holding because next wave will be seen soon when at least 50% will be up. On the other hand if you are planning like me to invest in one of the upcoming ICO to have ETH at cheaper means getting more cheaper tokens than others. It is like win win situation in either case of both.

Interestingly, there was also some scientist (can't remember the name) stating that POS Casper has fundamental flaws. I am sure they will make the transition very carefully and only after double checking any criticism from knowledgable exerts.

The future in the block chain, who found the actual large application, who became a big company. It's just conceptualization at the moment, it's just starting, so it's like ETH, value investment, and there will be unexpected surprises in the future.

Some people do not really understand the advantage of having ERC 20 tokens. It is majorly better because of fluncutions in ETH prices and demands. ETH is more stable and it only seem very reasonable when paired against ERC 20.

Thanks to a new partnership between domestic cryptocurrency exchange Bitcoin Australia and payments provider Blueshyft, some 1,200 newsstands in Australia will be equipped to resell bitcoin and Ethereum, the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. To make the purchase, customers will need to download a digital wallet to enter their email and mobile number to register. The user can then scan a QR code displayed at the newsagent via an iPad to make the purchase and complete the transaction at a fee of 5 percent, a 9Finance report reveals. Buyers will, on average, see their crypto purchases reflect in their wallets in under 20 minutes.

Bitcoin price is pumped by shitty forks announcements. We got around 10 forks now. One dude even opened a website, that is offering a bitcoin fork for 0.005 BTC. https://forkgen.tech/ Bitcoin is becoming a low quality crap. We need just another good Ethereum fork to be announced and the price will skyrocket.

So that website is the reason we are seeing so many bitcoin forks these days.

Is there any fork calender or something where we can check for upcoming forks?

How can you say that Bitcoin is becoming a low quality crap? Ethereum could be forked just as often from literally anyone, but would that make it crap? You can't stop anyone from making forks.

[blockchain-man]

ETH is the top now and perfectly suits here but there are hundreds of projects on eth network nowdays. If at least half of them start working ETH will fall.
Moreover the question of fees. Does the team have any plans how to reduce fees within platform?

[zidane]

Will ETH RECOVER or is the Party over here?

[zahidmoon]
