[safar1980]

The conference call saw core Ethereum developer Tim Beiko, who runs core protocol meetings, propose September 19 as the tentative target date for the merger. The proposed target date didn’t face any objection from the core developers.

They have floating schedule. Beiko pulls random dates out of his derriere and submits em to the committee not knowing they might be busy as hell on that exact day which is why everyone but that lunatic always has to check with Ethereum spokesman on the validity of the meeting schedule. Beiko is an unwanted element in the whole establishment. Must be canned.

Goerli, the last public testnet to run through the merge transition, should do so on August 11th.

[Tim] Suggested time-line for discussion:

Goerli/Prater client releases 27th or 28th of July.
Announce 28th/29th.
Prater Bellatrix on the 8th of August
Goerli Merge on the 11th.
ACD 18th August plan mainnet Merge:
Bellatrix early september;
Merge two weeks later (week of Sept 19th).
Could be more aggressive in places, e.g. could have off-schedule ACD to set mainnet TTD earlier. All would be subject to Goerli Merge not blowing up!

"1/ ENS name wrapper is almost here 🧵👇

what is it?

the name wrapper grants the ability to turn any .eth name into a ERC1155 NFT

2/ wrapping a .eth domain enables the parent domain to restrict what can occur with subdomains

the owner of example.eth can allow the creation of sub1.example.eth and restrict further subdomaining

this prevents sub1 from creating sub2.sub1.example.eth

3/ the name wrapper works by introducing the concept of fuses (rights), such as the right to:

- transfer
- subdomain further
- set text records

each fuse can be enabled/disabled permanently & irrevocably

another words unruggable subdomains are almost here

"Prater will run through the Bellatrix upgrade on August 4th, and merge with Goerli between August 6-12th: if you run a node or validator, this is your last chance to go through the process before mainnet 🚨"

Ethereum Name Service Domain Registrations Hit All-Time High as Merge Approaches
More than 1.8 million ENS Domain names have been registered, and adoption by non-English speaking communities are rising.

https://twitter.com/ensdomains/status/1554099225352290304?
"July 2022 stats for ENS

- 378K new .eth registrations (total 1.86m names)
- $6.8m in protocol revenue (all goes to the DAO)
- 5,400 ETH in revenue (highest ever month)
- 48K new eth accounts w/ at least 1 ENS name (total 508k)
- >99% of OpenSea domain vol"

What about POS could trigger dumping the premined? Most of them are probably held by the principals who govern Eth.

Happy price now. Please stake more. The premined stake holders are leaving and wish you good luck with POS...

Reading the early replies to this from 2014 -- especially the ones with a lot of FUD -- are pretty entertaining in retrospect

Hi everyone,

There is something I don't understand about the merge. The moment the bacon chain merges with the mainnet, ¿Who is signing the new blocks? ¿Miners, validators, or both?

Thanks

It's nice to see that the process is on full gear and would be finalized soon. Please I'll like to know how the merge will affect an ordinary user like myself. Do I need to move my ethereum out of my wallet to an exchange to get the new version of ethereum. I've been trying to follow the news but don't seem to understand how it relates to individuals holding small quantities ethereum. I'll appreciate more information in this light.

"The terminal total difficulty has been set to 58750000000000000000000.

This means the ethereum PoW network now has a (roughly) fixed number of hashes left to mine.

https://bordel.wtf predicts the merge will happen around Sep 15, though the exact date depends on hashrate."
