https://blog.ethereum.org/2022/08/24/mainnet-merge-announcement/Ethereum is moving to proof-of-stake! The transition, known as The Merge, must first be activated on the Beacon Chain with the Bellatrix upgrade. After this, the proof-of-work chain will migrate to proof-of-stake upon hitting a specific Total Difficulty value. The Bellatrix upgrade is scheduled for epoch 144896 on the Beacon Chain – 11:34:47am UTC on Sept 6, 2022. The Terminal Total Difficulty value triggering The Merge is 58750000000000000000000, expected between Sept 10-20, 2022. Note: as announced earlier, the Kiln testnet is being sunset. Operators will shut down on September 6, 2022.

US citizens with 32 ETH or more staked will risk their funds and might go to prison if they run the official Ethereum staking software. This is because it will validate Tornado Cash transactions. (Money laundering)
sorry I'm not a US person but I will be happy if you provide a news link link that maybe I can read it here too or it's just fake news, maybe it's a good idea to provide a news link source link so that the news you convey is true Tornado cash is a parasite coin that uses the Public Ethereum blockchain to encrypt proof of value messages into the Blockchain. The tech is called zk-SNARKs and are a novel form of zero-knowledge cryptography which allow for private transactions. 8th august: U.S. Treasury Sanctions Notorious Virtual Currency Mixer Tornado Cash https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-imposes-sanctions-virtual-currency-mixer-tornado-cash-2022-08-08/22 august: Largest Ether mining pool Ethermine stops processing Tornado Cash transactions https://forkast.news/headlines/ethermine-stops-tornado-cash-transactions/So in order to Stake "legally" you need to use 3rd party staking software that filter out Tornado transactions. I will read the link you provided, I've also read about the tornado cash project, thanks for responding and replying to my message in this thread, so I know a little about the latest latest information about ETH progress as well

The Ethereum Foundation has announced it will be increasing the network’s bug bounty payouts fourfold ahead of the blockchain’s transition to proof-of-stake. In a Wednesday blog post, the Ethereum Foundation said between Aug. 24 and Sept. 8, all “Merge-related bounties for vulnerabilities” will be quadrupled for white hats testing the network. According to the foundation, identifying “critical bugs” — those that have a high impact or likelihood of a high impact on the blockchain — will be worth up to $1 million. The bounty program also allows submissions for low, medium and high-risk bugs. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bug-bounty-quadruples-for-ethereum-network-up-to-1m-payouts-ahead-of-merge/

Really excited for the merge. The drama surrounding it has been more intense than I expected. But ETHPOW or anything else is ultimately a joke.
The biggest drama for sure would be censored transactions on the protocol layer. But I think that seems mostly impossible for now. Under the situation where there was a minority censorship proof fork, that would be real wild to live under, and hopefully that doesn't happen.
That aside, anyone want to hazard a wild guess as to the release of the sharding upgrade?

Bitfinex has added support for Ethereum POWhttps://www.rateweb.co.za/breaking-news/bitfinex-to-back-ethereum-pow-fork/https://trading.bitfinex.com/t/ETHW:USDIf the price holds, ETHW looks to be the largest gpu minable coin in the world after the fork. ETC $36.82 ( 43.94 TH/s) ETHW $50 ( 52.44 TH/s estimate) Most miners will move to the new Ethereum POW. This coin has support from old Ethereum and Bitcoin devs. You will receive ethereum for every ethereum POS you own on the time of the fork (if you didn't lock them for staking) If you sell 1 Ethereum POS you can buy 34 Ethereum.

What I am understand about ethereum merge, POW (Ethereum coin generate to use of mining hardware) After Merge POS (ethereum coin generate to use of transections ) is i am right or wrong.

After the Merge the blockchain will split in two giving you bonus coins (Ethereum POW).
You will only receive bonus coins if you own Ethereum at the point of the merge. (15% of the supply is locked in the staking pool and will be deleted in the new POW fork). Make sure that your wallet support ETH POW or move your coins to a wallet where you have access to the private keys.
After 15 september: POS (ethereum coin) ($1700 a coin) (Will be supported by those who believe in POS) POW (ethereum coin) ($50 a coin) (Will be supported by those who believe in POW)
Ethereum POW Coins can already be traded on 9 exchanges with a 1:34 difference in the price at 1 MUSD volume per day. (Futures)

I believe there will be more than one for from current Ethereum.
There are teams try to use the Merge event to fork and convince you that their forks are real Ethereum. They will try to do things similar to Bitcoin Cash and Roger Ver teams did.
Trurst the core team and their plans. Trust Vitalik and his team. Don't trust others if you are Ethereum enthusiast and investor.

They are betting their coins with security of exchanges and trust of exchanges. Because of money, they forget that they don't own Ethereum if they send it to exchanges. After sending it, they can get it back if exchange approve their withdrawal or can lose it if exchange turns off.
About fork, PoW Ethereum after the Merge, I don't care about it much. I think in next bull run, Ethereum Classic ETC will be big again and I wait for it to dump to $8 or $10 to get it. In a lomg bear market, I think I will get these discount prices.

Interesting update. The liquidity does still seem to be a bit low. But I'm sure that will change rapidly in the coming weeks... especially as bigger exchanges list it.

What's the difference between ETH and ETHW?
Is it a fork?
And will there be two currencies after the Merge will take place?
Today i read the news about Bitfinex added support for Ethereum POW. Any relation with ETHW?

It is a fork that not yet has happened. (ETHW will fork around 15 september) Ethereum POW and ETHW is the same thing. The sourcecode has removed the difficulty bomb, removed POS code, removed some of the stablecoin adresses/ tornado cash adresses/ and hacked accounts. Implemented replay protection to make sure the new blockchain can co-exist with the original Ethereum. The work is still in process, and more will be added. If you have ethereum on any of the supported exchanges at the forking date, you will receive the same amount of ETHW(Eth POW) as ETH. Ethereum owners who have locked their funds in the staking pool will not receive coins in the new POW fork. This means that the Ethereum POW will have 15-20% less coins than the original Ethereum. ... very precise, thank you so much. 34 eth is a very high figure, so I suppose that a majority of coins will be outside of staking; for exemple metamask (who gives access to the private key), will allow to receive directly ETHW ?

The POS fork has 15% support from the Ethereum supply. In the new Ethereum POW fork, everyone who voted for POS including co-founder Vitalik and his Team will loose their funds. Binance have announced today that they will support Ethereum POW together with 10 other exchanges.
