[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[gembira]

When is Vitalik planned launch hardfork with PoS? I think this should give some start for price increase and may be for overall altcoin bullrun... As Bullrun should start with Ethereum...

In the past it has been XRP which was the first to move though!
In any case, I don't think the market is ready for a bullrun yet, maybe in about 2 years we will see the previously established ATH of some coins, but not in ETH, ETH can't reach $1000 that's madness!

Do you mean bullrun in 2017? At that time Ripple was much popular than ETH. But everything is changed nowdays and ETH is still strong. But may be it will start with Ripple though... who knows.

Still strong? I’m not sure about this, eth almost monotonously loses its price in both dollars and bitcoins, and there is no certainty that hardfork will change anything significantly.

I think that smart investors knows that Ripple and XRP are not the same thing, and knowing that, there will be no more money injection like it was in the past

Is the reason because the total supply continues to increase and eth can not touch the price of 1000$ again?
is there any other reason besides because the total supply keeps increasing?

That whole argument about unlimited supply is really misleading. In a practical sense it's not really an unlimited supply though technically it is, it's algorithmically designed to eventually be deflationary.

There is a practical cap on the supply, it's just not specified as a scalar number in the code. The rate of coin creation is fixed at 18 million per year and as the total supply grows then that rate of increase in supply actually decreases as a percent of the total until eventually it is overcome by fiat inflation rates.

Additionally through the loss of private keys there will be some retiring of coin. And also there is the fact of block reward reduction.

So yes, technically you are correct there is no cap, but in a practical sense there very much is a cap. Not something to worry about, really a non issue and the only reason it gets any attention is because people don't understand how Ethereum generation works.

What does the project really need now so that it rises from hibernation and enters the phase of active growth?

ethereum can't no longer growth, many new and better platforms already taking over bit by bit

Eth definitely has fierce competition from Binance chain. What is the strategy on this?

It seems that Ethereum is just trying to get along with CZ and Binance. But the conflict of interests is there and the market cap that BNB is enjoying right now is all on Ethereum's expense.
From what I'm observing from Ethereum, there is actually no worries on this fact, meanwhile almost every ERC20 token is trying to figure a way to move into Binance chain.

Seriously I don't know if they care at all anymore. What are Vitalik's plans on this? Waiting for 10$ ETH for a response?

i wouldn't touch anything related to binance with a 10feet pole. with 1 wrong moved by binance and any strong exchange with fake pump and fake volumes, which binance obtained it status from would take it down, along with all the investors money investing in binance products. from mntgox, mintpal, cryptsy, poloniex or even bittrex, the king of volumes will fall and replace and binance is no different when this cz noise no longer making sense. to me this cz guy don't make sense to me long ago, just money grabbing from all directions.

This is my last post for this year. FACT: Bitcoin manipulation @ 3 times the real market value has ruined any and all crypto investment strategies. There are no good buys to make now or in the foreseeable  future. Greed from those with the ability to manipulate have ruined the crypto scene. If you are a die hard fan that cant give up the ghost you will lose your ass...

Ago 22.5 hours I am sent 1.25 ETH to the Vinex exchange office. And amazingly, the confirmation transactionis still ongoing. The transaction view disappeared from the wallet (they only see old transactions ). The amount of 1.25 ETH was not sent from my wallet (I should have had 6 ETH and still have 7.25 ETH). How is all that possible? What should I do ?

[bkbirge]

Resend it with a higher transaction fee. If you choose a fee too small then no one will add it to the ledger.

These are best source to let know about gas price to make it confirm in fast mode sometimes when network get overload than we have to put more high fee to get fast confirmation for our transaction.

[TheMiddleMan]

What is the minimal fee for a transaction with Ethereum ?

It's actually zero. There was a time when zero fee transactions were confirmed because there were few TXs to confirm. Anyway, what you should be asking how much to pay to confirm in the next 30 minutes. You should check out https://ethgasstation.info/

Be strong, my friend. At least, you did not buy at $1500, so you are fine for many others. Secondly, there are two time in the past, altcoins witnessed such terrible months, and they (good altcoins) recovered from that and had their bull year, like what we saw in 2013 and 2017. So, be strong, and believe in Ethereum as well as other top and years-old altcoins, which already survived over two terrible periods. They all will not make you dissapointed.

if you've bought it to long hodl, forget them, and take a look at the price this time next year
if your intention was to turn some profit in a few days... welcome in the volatile crypto world... now you can only sit and wait the price to grow or exit with a loss, there is no 3rd thing to do
