[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

Great leader Vitalik posted a twitt:

I am boycotting @coindesk's Consensus 2018 conference this year, and strongly encourage others to do the same. Here is my reasoning why.

1. Coindesk is recklessly complicit in enabling giveaway scams. See their latest article on OMG, which *directly links* to a giveaway scam...

Scamsensus has been nothing but a money minting venture for Coindesk
Its good people boycott it

However ethereum did attend it since ETH is not vitalik alone...

Now on this issue, it remains only to wait, I think within one week something will be clear. I hope that everything will be successful.

Hello everyone! When will the legal status of Ethereum cryptocurrency be determined? It was planned that the representatives of the Commission will discuss it on may 7! who has opinions on this matter?

Vitalik Buterin has warned that virtual currencies are volatile and that “could drop to near zero at any time.” While cryptocurrency fans are now used to hearing such warnin

more decentralizinton to EOS?

There's this special feeling from reading the original Ethereum announcement and the foremost comments with some outrightly discarding the idea while others asked questions to clarify. That has thought me to not give up on my dreams and aspirations

[chenjl84]

Now ETH is more observing the practice of ZIL, for example. According to the technical power of ETH, they can definitely deploy these new technologies in one or two years if they are willing.

Hi guys! What is the best way to sync mist? It take so long to get all blocks and at the end of it i normaly get sync stopped when only 100 - 200 blocks left.

[genievic23]

whoah, its nice to have found this thread, and its been 4years now since this was posted and ethereum now is currently at $700, I's sure all investors who hodl and believe in ethereum is now a billionaire, Good job for Vitalik, and I'm accumulating more ethereum than btc now.

What do you think about speed up business, build a greater trust, and create more efficient business models?

[mandibleclaw]

It's the goal of smart contracts to create more efficient business models by eliminating the third party and bring automation, including machine to machine communication

According to a local report , the payment platform runs on the Ethereum blockchain using the Istanbul -Byzantine fault tolerance algorithm , which allows transaction times and costs to be scaled and drastically reduced .

ethereum and blockchain technology will be one of five key technologies – along with automation, robotics, artificial intelligence and the Internet of things that take us to the next industrial revolution

Hey, Ethereum is holding the support price while Bitcoin is still going lower. Maybe the ETHBTC resistance might break out and Ethereum leads the rest to a price rally. Probably we will see some movement next week to confirm.

[GröBkAz]

According to bitinfocharts right now is the longest period of time Ethereum has ever had tons more active addresses than Bitcoin. The previous best streak was 4 straight days in mid-January.

Ethereum scaling means more transactions / sec . However , each node still calculates the same calculation .

Nope. You should read up on sharding (the solution that scales Ethereum), because its entire purpose is to not force every node to process every transaction. That's how it allows scaling.

Hello dears! how do you think to make a decision to open a position? or it's a little early and a couple of days to watch.

I'm not surprised about that, more active wallet in the blockchain gives a lot of impact on the 24 hours transaction fees of ethereum blockchain has surpassed bitcoin last week.

As per more interesting development process will come to the ethereum platform and that will make more people use ethereum.

Welcome to the New Beginning

When the grand experiment that is bitcoin began, the anonymous wizard desired to test two parameters- a trustless, decentralized database enjoying security enforced by the austere relentlessness of cryptography and a robust transaction system capable of sending value across the world without intermediaries. Yet the past five years years have painfully demonstrated a third missing feature: a sufficiently powerful Turing-complete scripting language. Up until this point, most innovation in advanced applications such as domain and identity registration, user-issued currencies, smart property, smart contracts, and decentralized exchange has been highly fragmented, and implementing any of these technologies has required creating an entire meta-protocol layer or even a specialized blockchain. Theoretically, however, each and every one of these innovations and more can potentially be made hundreds of times easier to implement, and easier to scale, if only there was a stronger foundational layer with a powerful scripting language for all of these protocols to build upon. And this need is what we seek to satisfy.

Ethereum is a modular, stateful, Turing-complete contract scripting system married to a blockchain and developed with a philosophy of simplicity, universal accessibility and generalization. Our goal is to provide a platform for decentralized applications - an android of the cryptocurrency world, where all efforts can share a common set of APIs, trustless interactions and no compromises. We ask for the community to join us as volunteers, developers, investors and evangelists seeking to enable a fundamentally different paradigm for the internet and the relationships it provides.
