[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[1Kill]

It is so interesting now to watch this ... An unremarkable thread, but now it is a real giant in the world of cryptocurrencies.

[JollyGood]

Could you elaborate on your statement, how is it an unremarkable thread?

Hi everyone...where can i find info and roadmap about eth 2.0?

Thanks in advance!

Impressed by the look of the game. Trying it right away (applying for the early access).

You should consider making a separate thread for it.

I have no idea why anybody would be giving so much attention to Vitalik is saying. He is not one to have any authority of all-things-crypto so better to not pay too much attention to what he says.

Vitalik Buterin ( creator of Ethereum ) Predicts:

The megatrend in cryptography of the 2010s was elliptic curves, pairings and general purpose ZKPs/SNARKs.

The megatrend of the 2020s will be (in addition to broad adoption of the above) lattices, LWE, multilinear maps, homomorphic encryption, MPC and obfuscation.……The common theme in both is the rise of cryptographic primitives that operate over boolean or arithmetic circuits as a mathematical representation of computation, and hence cryptographic constructions becoming general purpose.

We do have a thread for the game : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5244954.0

My original post about our tower defense game that features ethereum was deleted by the Ethereum admin unfortunately. I was not spamming, just trying to get the feedback of the Ethereum community...

The information is readily available if you searched a little online. Maybe lemme share a few links that can be helpful here;

- https://docs.ethhub.io/ethereum-roadmap/ethereum-2.0/eth-2.0-phases/
- https://ethos.dev/ethereum-2020-roadmap/

Vitalik Buterin made a tweet in March showing a graphical overview of the road map

I don't know the very informative roadmap infographic for Ethereum. I appreciated what you share here. The full disclosure that was released officially by the Vitalik Buterin help to clean up vague news on Ethereum 2.0. It is good for the project and Ethereum investors. A long way to go and achieve Ethereum 2.0 but now our mind is clearer about i.

@JeromeTash. That diagram! How are we certain that Vitalik is not making that confusing for everyone? Do you literally understand it?

Also, what is Eth 2.0's beacon chain? Is this similar to IOTA's coordinator where the developers have the power to shutdown the platform?

[JollyGood]

It is very hard to argue against the view you hold because many people would choose Ethereum regardless of the failings attributed to it when using either Tron or EOS as a comparator.

If given a choice of platform to use despite its flaws I'd still choose Ethereum over Tron or EOS

With Eth 2.0, will the price of gas (exchange fees )  go down ?
Actually, on the site of BLOCKCHAIN, lower fees are 0.00025 eth to withdraw..

Ethereum 2.0 is expected to launch within months, but new scaling solutions and gas-free transactions are already here. The network is also growing more popular, with the number of active wallets more than doubling since January to around half a million.

It's in this portion of the article...

On May 4, Biconomy launched the beta mainnet for their relayer infrastructure.

The platform is designed to facilitate gas-free interactions with DApp protocols, removing technical barriers to greater adoption and making it easier for DApp developers to onboard and manage users. While it’s of most help to Ethereum developers right now, it’s actually blockchain agnostic.

DApps that integrate Biconomy will be able to access the applications through a familiar username and password interface — removing the need for technical interaction with smart contracts or gas fees.

Uptrennd CEO Jeff Kirdeikis on Alternative Social Media and Content Sites

There's quite a bit of censorship in the digital currency space from centralized entities. Because of this, there are a few decentralized sites popping up. One of these sites is Uptrennd, an interesting site where you can earn tokens for posting and commenting. You can find me there as well! Today I speak with the CEO of Uptrennd, Jeff Kirdeikis. Enjoy!



Thanks for watching!

NO ETH 2.0 FOY THIS YEAR....

VIVA ETHEREUM CLASSICA !!

[JollyGood]

I see no reason why anybody would even think that Ethereum Classic would somehow fill the void that people think ETH 2.0 would have.

NO ETH 2.0 FOY THIS YEAR....

VIVA ETHEREUM CLASSICA !!

Testnet ETH 2.0 

[crypto1703]

Ethereum (ETH) Released Solidity Version 0.6.8

This release of Solidity fixes three important bugs in the code generator:

a missing callvalue check for constructors
a bug connected with array slices for arrays containing dynamic types
literal strings containing backslash characters in connection with ABIEncoderV2

In addition to that:

we introduced a recommendation to use SPDX license identifiers for all source files which are also stored in the contract metadata
it is possible to access the min and max values of an integer type directly
WebAssembly support has been extended

Important Bugfixes:

Add missing callvalue check to the creation code of a contract that does not define a constructor but has a base that does define a constructor.
Disallow array slices of arrays with dynamically encoded base types.
String literals containing backslash characters can no longer cause incorrect code to be generated when passed directly to function calls or encoding functions when ABIEncoderV2 is active.
Language Features:

Implemented type(T).min and type(T).max for every integer type T that returns the smallest and largest value representable by the type.
Compiler Features:

Commandline Interface: Don't ignore --yul-optimizations in assembly mode.
Allow using abi encoding functions for calldata array slices without explicit casts.
Wasm binary output: Implement br and br_if.

Bugfixes:

ABI: Skip private or internal constructors.
Fixed an "Assembly Exception in Bytecode" error where requested functions were generated twice.
Natspec: Fixed a bug that ignored @return tag when no other developer-documentation tags were present.
Type Checker: Checks if a literal exponent in the ** operation is too large or fractional.
Type Checker: Disallow accessing runtimeCode for contract types that contain immutable state variables.
Yul Assembler: Fix source location of variable declarations without value.
We especially thank all the contributors that made this release possible:

a3d4, Alex Beregszaszi, Alexander Arlt, Bhargava Shastry, Christian Parpart, Daniel Kirchner, Djordje Mijovic, Harikrishnan Mulackal, Kamil Śliwak, Mathias Baumann

If you want to perform a source build, please only use solidity_0.6.8.tar.gz and not the zip provided by github directly.
