[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[Piston Honda]

lol eth2.0 will be lucky if comes out 2021 all, good luck with that.

also anything uniswap can go fuck itself, stupid shitcoins created daily with stupid names/etc. - it's like 2018 again with all the bullshit ICO's to suck ppl's ETH (btc) from them.  so stupid.  DeFi has promise but again it's being turned to shit by this stuff too.  don't even wanna touch any such ETH based coins.

It would not surprise me if more deadlines and launch dates were announced but resulted in delays.

A lot of people are still asking and waiting when actually ETH 2.0 will be launched ethereum, Because, in my opinion the plan has been a long time ago but until now there have been delays by ethereum.
Is ETH 2.0 just discourse to increase ethereum's sales or popularity or is it a real plan?
Maybe not only me who keeps asking questions but many ethereum lovers who might still be  waiting for the latest news about the continuation of the ETH 2.0 project

The fee is falling compares to two days ago: https://ethgasstation.info/calculatorTxV.php. Two days ago, the average fee is at 450 Gwei, not 372 Gwei as of writing today.

Unfortunately, I believe the fall will not last long because DeFi is still here and when market see rises of DeFi or ETH, fee will be increase again.
Some sites to check fee: https://etherscan.io/gastracker and https://ethgasstation.info/index.php

When fee are to much is not good for the all ethereum project .Anyway thanks for the link i was looking for it!

GAS fees are still high IMO and, I agree it will rise back again because of the current DeFi hype. I think one of the main reasons for the gas price to dump is the recent ongoing BTC and ETH crash.

I think with a little bit of time things will become more stable, until then people really need to stop complaining or simply sell up and move on.

So much complaining about gas, people need to be relaxed. Let thing thing settle down a bit then see what happens, having stable low fees will definitely become regular and normal again.

I agree 100%

Things will be fine. 

Gas high? Yes

Overreacting? Most definitely

Growing pains

Could be worse problems to have.....😂

All fees will level out and become stable in due course, people are panicking over what is a non-issue in the long run.

Ethereum developers are turning their focus back to the current version of the network after months of focus on the upcoming Ethereum 2.0 release to address exponential fee growth.

Looks like whatever they are doing is working because the fees dropped significantly.

[JollyGood]

Yes people are overreacting when it simply is not warranted, there seems to be a degree of fearmongering more than anything else.

Eth is not meant to be a mode of payment. It is basically a smart contract platform currency.
High gas fee is not any hinderence in its growth

Feels like this was just yesterday. Can't wait for ETH 2.0

I completely agree, but which project now fits the payment criteria?

There are tons of projects that will fit the payment criteria but, sadly none of them has a community and acceptance as big as Ethereum the only exception would be bitcoin but sadly sometimes confirmation can be huge.

Solo mining Ethereum isn't for everyone to say the least. If you only have say 6 gpu's or less i'd say don't even bother, you would be wasting your hashpower, as it would take an enormous amount of time to find even a single block, you might even never find one. Try pool mining instead, you'll get you fair share of what you hash.

For payment, use BTC.

[PavelPav]

Not possible I think Bitcoin will always be the main currency. ETH was doing good breaking past 400 so quickly but, as soon as BTC got dumped (about $1000) ETH too fell sharply with bitcoin.

Of course, Bitcoin will still have to keep its leading position. But sooner or later, it will be replaced by a new technological coin that will topple Bitcoin from the pedestal. Perhaps it will be Ethereum, or perhaps a completely new coin.

Bingo

They will still reduce them, but the sky is not falling

The fee on Ethereum network (average fee) is lower today. If you have intention to sell your Ethereum (I guess not because it is cheap now) or your ERC20 tokens with coming rallies, today is a good day for you to consider moving them.

Tx Calculator shows the average fee is 88 Gwei. 4 days ago, on 3 September 2020, it was 372 Gwei.

To make sure that the Gwei you use will satisfy your need on speed of transaction, you can check the % of transactions are accepted by network in last 200 blocks at Tx Pool Report. To get cheap and acceptable transaction waiting time, you need to plan your movements.

After almost a week I was finally able to move my tokens from wallet to exchange. But, BTC and ETH price crash ruined the price I was getting for those tokens lol.

It didn't happen for the last 12 years, so why will it happen at all? The creator of Bitcoin is anonymous and there is no individual or a group of people behind the blockchain and controlling the supply. On the other hand every other crypto project no matter what promisses, is backed up by one individual and his friends. Sooner or later he will leave the project or simply die, leaving his project to a sudden or slow death. Everything in defi is pump and dump tokens. It looks attractive to the n00bs for quick profit, but they don't realize that before cashing out their profits they will be gone, replaced by huge losses. One of the leading tokens in defi - Sushi is the last example. For few days it gained a lot, then it's creator cashed out, leaving in dust and ashes all n00bs lured by the pump. This was the fate of bcash and it's clones whose creators were delusional that they will flip Bitcoin. Ver, Wu, CW, the list is endless. If you want to make money, you need to learn how to hodl Bitcoin for an extended period - 5, 10 years and more if necessary. The basics are solid and the risk is even lower than investing in stocks or fiat, which will lose  their value due to inflation. The fast profit is for gamblers, with guaranteed loss in the end.

It took that long?

I was able to experience this but not this time but, those all time high days. I refrain to transact with high fees and congested network. I understand that feeling when you have sent during the price was high and received or confirmed when it's lower.

There is still plenty of scope for improvement, the sky is definitely (as you said) not falling
