[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[satcomcom]

people need to stop panicking

Why? Panic is wonderful 

[Borocoin]

There are no reasons for panic, Ethereum sometimes go up and sometimes go down.
It's normal in crypto world

Ethereum is too big ecosystem to fall down

How do you feel about the fact that his offer is constantly growing, and there is no maximum restriction on the supply of ETH?

At this point it looking really strong coin after the BTC than no need to be worry surely they will bring interesting solution in future as they are working hard to make implement some changes in future. I think so current performance is showing this is truly amazing project.

Nice to see ETH rise a little bit.

It will face serious competition from other following in its smart contract format and will lose ground to some IEOs but for now it is doing well.

Istanbul Mainnet Hard Fork on December 4
https://coindar.org/en/event/ethereum-eth-istanbul-mainnet-hard-fork-24542

Yes I've listened to some of the dev call on the YouTube channel. It seems that this time they are taking preparation at least in case they run into some unexpected bugs right before the fork and they can postpone it another month like they had to do last year.

I remember that the fork was due in less than 2 days and some bug was found and they had to cancel the fork and lead to a lot of disappointment.

For those wondering this fork doesn't have ProgPOW algo change, that might be issued in the fork right after this one sometime in 2020.

[RivAngE]

I don't see any import at changes in the Istanbul update for us end-users, unless ofcourse I'm missing something.

So they're increasing the fees for "recalling data from the blockchain"... whatever that means (I hope it won't affect every little historic call).
They're also making some changes that make some kind of authentications by applications quicker.
No algorithm change.

Anything else that's important?

Istanbul Mainnet Hard Fork on December 4
https://coindar.org/en/event/ethereum-eth-istanbul-mainnet-hard-fork-24542

The confirmation from Vitalik is good for Ethereum and its communities, includes investors who have waited for months to see it happens.

Concurrently, there are lots of debates and controversy on whether kind of DAO-style HFs should be considered to apply again in some hack cases on Ethereum network. I don't support repeatedly DAO-style HFs and the smart contracts on Ethereum network should be upgraded somehow.

By the way, I remind all of you on potential scam Ethereum hardforks in coming months, especially around December. Recent months, we have witnessed lots of scam Ethereum hard-forks that tend to appear around scheduled hard-fork day (that actually delayed several times). They are types of attacks on Ethereum, to damage or destroy its reputation and price on market, as well as steal money from naive investors.

There is only one Bitcoin as well as only one Ethereum. Don't use your private keys to claim any forks from Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Wow, this is beyond stupid:



Vitalik seems to have lost his mind; what the hell was he thinking when he made this poll? What results did he expect?

Lol, wants to make decentralized it as possible but adds something to make it centralized. Reversing transactions would put other businesses away and not to use the Ethereum platform.

Am shocked but it is just a hypothetical question, he never said he would implement something like it.

To do so or to attempt to do so would be ridiculous.

You're joking, right? Add a smiley, or a "LOL" or something, please indicate in some way that you're just being facetious.

Ready to see a new wave of growth? China has a good attitude to ethereum and I'm sure they will support the project very well.

Either this, or they'll create their own Ethereum-like blockchain like they're doing with every little thing that exists!
Then they'll ban Ethereum and force the usage of their own product because... censorship and propaganda!

[unouresha]

people need to stop panicking

...and need to start buying some more ETH.

[CjMapope]

i only just found out yesterday (ya im slow, i know), that the foundation is being run by a high school teacher now (how did THAT happen?)
i guess the next few years should be "interesting"
i still think PoS will be popular, but personally im a bit scared now

Ethereum is too big ecosystem to fall down

I wonder how people who bought when the price was $800 or 0.14 BTC are feeling? Do you still have any hope of ever seeing prices over $800 again? honestly, in my opinion the price of ETH only increase relative to the dollar because the price of bitcoin is increasing

I agree, maybe it will be so, they like to surprise everyone.Moreover, they have all the resources for creation.

4-10% isn't bad but still not sure that's worth the risk, and if you have to lock up the coins for a term that's even less attractive. Still, if you've got your stash might be a good way to park it for the future.

While some chains may allow users to “un-stake” their coins instantaneously — but forfeit any unclaimed rewards — others may entail a mandatory lockup period that renders funds illiquid and could lead to missed active investment opportunities.

Any investors that purchased any crypto at near all time high prices or near the tip of a bull run would be feeling disillusioned right now.

Those that purchased at $600, $700 or $800 would be at a massive loss and that would be a hard hit to take. I feel sorry for them.

What about those that purchased Bitcoin at near all time highs of $20,000 in December 2017, they have been suffering for a long time too.
