[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[Ryu XBR Samurai]

Can someone explain how the POW component of Ethereum will work once it transfers to a POS?

Uniswap giveaway FREE UNI coin to their users, right after launching dedicated UNI token. As we can assume that people are going crazy converting into ETH and ETH gas price demand high once again.

Nvidia has just released new 50% more effective video cards series 3000. Amd is expected to answer with cheaper cards at the end of October.  Both companies are very interested in Ethereum mining profits, so may be a big pump is coming in the next months? POS is not needed now - Defi is working well and there are too many problems to be solved before the transition to full POS is done. It is at least 1.5 year away, if everything is going well and phase 0 (which is a hybrid POS and POW) starts in 2021. This is not highly probable, so we may expect more delays - 2-3 years may be.

From what I learn from the final testnet version is that there are still lots of bugs in the network which need to be fixed because if those bugs come to the mainnet it will be really bad. So I agree there is still a long way to go for a full PoS ETH network.

I think this issue will drag on for a long time. Why was there such a rush to get the testnet out there? I think this has set back the whole project by at least 6 months and all because they released a testnet version that was rushed out instead of thought through.

I sent ER20 token this morning. I thought $2,5 of transaction fees are enough but it seems it wasn't. The transaction has been pending since five hours now. Is there any way to speed up the confirmation for example by sending further tx fee (I sometimes use this in Bitcoin when a transaction is stuck)?

You can check gas fee at https://ethgasstation.info/calculatorTxV.php or https://etherscan.io/gastracker. Both sites give the average fee around 190 Gwei. What did you do with your ERC20 token transaction this morning? Which Gwei did you use?

If your transaction is rejected, you can visit 2 sites and set up your Gwei for your new transaction.

I hope the developers look at how much they messed up with the way they have handled the whole gas issue - this needs to be ironed out before the release of the 2.0 update

News update for ETH 2.0

Testnet will be launched on 29 September and it is a good progress to the official ETH 2.0. More intensive progress towards ETH 2.0 as I see from the eth2 quick update no. 17.

If you are using metamask there's an easy way to fix that just go-to activity and click speed up or cancel the transaction but, if you sent it using a normal wallet then you need to resend the transaction with the same nonce with but with a higher gas fee.

I would not be surprised if the date for the launch of the testnet was postponed.

I used my Ledger Nano wallet. In the meanwhile (after almost seven hours) the transaction was rejected and marked as failed. So I can spend my tokens again, but if this happens again in the future, is there also a method to speed up transactions which were sent with Ledger Nano wallet?

Agreed with you now it is normal thing in ETH if they decide to make it postpone due to instability or new bugs have been found there. But this time they are looking more confident than before so let's see how it will goes through.

Yes, it was postponed so mane times. but this TX fees become crazy nowdays. Especially on Uniswap exchange. they must launch 2.0 as soon as possible

[JollyGood]

If they launch 2.0 full of bugs then ETH will be destroyed, better they launch the testnet only when it is ready and then let developers and users discover bugs so they can be fixed before the launch of the mainnet.

Check the article link below it should help you in the future if you ever get stuck with a pending transaction you could either cancel it or speed it up.

[GUIDE] How to cancel or replace an ETH transaction (Metamask, MEW, MyCrypto)

Transaction fee dropped to 53 Gwei hours ago but now it is at 73 Gwei for average transaction type. https://ethgasstation.info/calculatorTxV.php.

The guide of Ratimov can help to cancel or replace your transactions (ETH or ERC20 tokens).

An interesting compilation of what some people think about the launch of Ethereum 2.0.
There really is a big problem, if the protocol is attacked, then it will be necessary to make a hard fork

"I suppose first of all is that I personally don't expect Phase 0 participation to be for everybody.

Staking comes with many risks and staking early in eth2 comes with even more than if you jumped in a couple of years down the line"

"1/ Why I won't be staking ETH at launch, a thread...

#Ethereum #eth2

Like many of you, I am excited for ETH2, the Beacon Chain, Phase 0, and everything that will come after.

I have participated in Onyx, Witti, Altona, and Medalla test networks.

I tried Prysm and Lighthouse."

Gas fees are down a lot from its peak of 800 so what do guys think are the chances of gas fees going below 20 before the launch of ETH 2.0?

Gas fee ate up lots of my ETH for the past few months though I made some of it back my mining ETH.

I hope things will be alright as soon as possible.
