[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[thevictimofuktyranny]

Being a long term hodler of ETH, i think the recent asic debate should be ignored.
We always knew from day one, that ETH was going to pos.
My first posts here over 2year ago, was because i wanted into the ETH pos system.
Hopefully sometime this year the transition may start.
There is no point writing new code and HF to prevent new asics that wont last more than 12months.

If for any reason, pos/hybrid pos is a long way off and asics do become an issue, then the new code could be put into the next planned update on the roadmap.
Not a HF specifically for removing asics today.

Also check out whats happening to xmr now...
On April 6 the privacy-centric cryptocurrency monero (XMR) forked the protocol in order to make the digital asset’s mining ecosystem egalitarian. However, the hard fork has led to the birth of four monero-based blockchain branches all claiming to be the “original monero.”
https://news.bitcoin.com/privacy-coin-xmr-splits-into-four-different-monero-protocols/

After reading this and observing from the sidelines,
 i feel there should should be no fork for asics.

Keep up the excellent work team ETH  

Also, Mrpumperitis you accidentally included a proof, which justifies an immediate fork to introduce anti-ASIC measures onto the Ethereum Network's algorithm.

ASICs arrive in July 2018, an early fork in April or May 2018 eliminates the possibility of people using the abandoned blockchain to make a new coin, because waiting for 2/3 months for your ASICs to arrive would be an extremely expensive way to salvage a speculative ASIC equipment purchase.

And, you need to listen to one of the Core Developers meetings, Ethereum Network is doing soft forks and hard forks on a regular basis.

Yeah i think eth need a fork similar xmr... But bitmain increase e3 price from 800 to 1800 dollar ... why? .. another way for eth is accelerate swicth to casper POS

First Impressions:

It could be an error!

OR

The original batch was already sold out.

The units they had left, were limited to one per customers as a Public Relations Promotion. Grab some news feed reporting.

Now, unlimited orders have been opened up to customers - $1800 per unit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5,000 units per batch or 900GHs total, 3.5% increase in mining difficult per batch shipment.

Looks like 2 batches per month, which is 7% reduction in mining earnings per month.

Pow to change the Pos consensus is the scheme, piecewise governance is the solution, but a software project, large enough, enough logic, it is better to redo one than one.

[Mrpumperitis]

You can't set up a fork unless you have a large amount of Monero coins already - it is just FUD!

Basic crypto-economics - you cannot finance the abandoned blockchain via selling off the bigger entity to buy dumped coins in the smaller entity.

I dont see etc, BCH or many of the other coins forked recently (some with $bill caps) being fud...they are real. Basic crypto-economics .
They serve a community and a purpose....
There were asic miners,fpga miners and gpu miners on xmr afiak....3 dif groups of miners, now 1 is excluded.
yes so what if they need a large amount already, thats why they enjoy a fork to get even more for free.

Back to eth,
 Firstly i wouldn't advise anyone to buy asics for a coin that has had a pos switch planned from near day1 and we are very close to getting to that part of the roadmap this year.

 Another thing if eth forks to rid off asics, the new changes could also have asics in the future, but they wont say or sell them to the public.

 If people want to use the old chain ,they can, its happened before, it could happen again.
ETH roadmap continues.

Hello Ethereum Community,

does somebody of you know the payment details that were used for the Ethereum ICO ?

All the details that were necessary for the bank transfer.

I need them in to be able to refind my payment to Ethereum, without it i cant sell Bitcoins to my Bitcoin Bank/Exchange.

Thank you so much for your help.

[Myth888]

the advantage of gpu and cpu mining is it is likely to be adopted by regular people more than asics. Asic encourage more centralization since most asic are located in asic farms built companies. How many regular Joe mines with CPU and GPU compared to asics? Only a few regular Joe will ever buy Asics.

Im not saying no to asics generally. But think of who you want to be mining. Large scale companies or regular people. If your answer is large scale companies then im not one of them and most likely majority of your supporters atm. And if a project is not intended for me then I better look to support a project that is intended for me.

Those news about big traditional markets investors coming into cryptomarkets tells that we are at bottom and from here reversal is imminent. These big players are very clever they press markets at some certain level from where it can be arisen up with minimal efforts. This involvement will make the whole market very interesting as Ethereum will be among big gainers being backbone of whole token economy.

Easily

[AlloM]

Even it looking really hard could it gain to achieve this milestone of $5k due to bear market. When FOMO will start and bull situation will come than it will easily move to above $2k if Bitcoin would get recover to $20k

[Piston Honda]

DLS (CHBT) >>> ETH

[cjl1984]

EOS team has extracted 410 thousand addresses from ETH, which is to beat ETH to the floor rhythm. We should always take precautions against this risk.

[vortexz]

I think Ethereum hardfork will have more impact on mining difficulty, it will certainly dropped a lot

[yyz13857180757]

Now the road ahead of ETH is very simple, or Die, upgrade or upgrade waiting for the coming of large-scale Dapp era.

Chile Is using Ethereum's Blockchain to track energy data:

https://www.coindesk.com/chile-to-use-ethereums-blockchain-to-track-energy-data/

Chile will use ethereum's blockchain as a way to record energy sector statistics, its government announced Thursday.

The National Energy Commission, which is a part of the country's Energy Ministry, said it would commit data to the public ethereum ledger in order to "augment levels of security, integrity, traceability and confidence in the information available to the public," according to a statement.

The commission is particularly concerned that its databases can be hacked and manipulated. The ethereum-based approach represents an alternative method for data storage, given that distributing records among a large number of nodes helps to alleviate that concern.

The commission has already begun committing some data to the blockchain, including information about installed electricity-generating capacity, average market prices, marginal costs, hydrocarbon prices and compliance with laws requiring that renewables account for a certain share of electricity generation.

Following this first stage of the project, known as "Energia Abierta" or "Open Energy," the commission will study the results and share them with other companies and government bodies in the sector.

It means they develop a new contract on that platform as usual like any other token. What thing I understand from this article actually only ETH is providing the facility to develop a project on the top of this blockchain.

For ETH, the difficulty is visible, but V God is still strong in the circle, and the future can still be expected.

Easily

when ethereum will hit $5k then.. will be ethereum stable at $5k ? or just touch $5k for a while and go back to old position like bitcoin ??

You have written your answer dude, Crypto is really volatile and it may go back again but expected never try to touch the ground again. It will not stable because the market is running anytime and the calculation based on the various exchange sites with different volume trade everyday. If you are asking when and none can answer your question.

thanks dude for instant reply. i got answer that ethereum will never stable at $5k but i will be touch $5k surely.
you are right nobody know when it will pump or dump but i am waiitng for that time when ethereum will be at $5k. goood luck!
