I just see it as unproven technology. Until it's seen off attacks by motivated attackers and the wims of a diverse community I fear there's something that's been missed or underestimated. I sort of feel the same way about PoW to a certain degree, but it's been put through hell and survived.

I think the first real exposure of PoS (where there will be sufficient incentive to concentrate resources to attack) will be with ethereum, so it's probably best to get it in place as early as possible so problems can be ironed out before too many businesses rely on it. At the moment, everyone involved in ethereum accepts that there's risk involved in being early. That won't last forever.

Why, what's your issue with PoS ??

In theory. I'd like to see a crypto with some proper exposure run PoS for a while before I trust it completely.

This would be a huge step forward in all of crypto. PoW is super powerful but it makes it extremely hard to start a new coin. PoS will be secure with only a few users.

Honestly.. Trying to compare Bitshares with ETH is like comparing a Doner Kebab with a 5 star 5 course menu including appetizer and dessert :-)

Please don't Hijack this thread for your commercial stuff... You can simply open a new thread or post in the correct thread ..

No, you're not. Go shill somewhere else.

I am simply speaking my mind if you have an issue go somewhere else Fatman.

Fr@ck sakes Blazin!

Are you going to spam this thread as well?

I am very glad to see great projects with brilliant minds behind them such as ETH. Keep buying and holding. There is a storm brewing in the crypto world....I believe blockchain tech will take the world by storm soon...revolutionize everything around us...ETH is the key to all this..but BTS is too...I doubt BTS is gonna stay under 1 cent USD much longer. After that press and what's happening now it is going to explode. Finally it's good to see some innovation in the Crypto world. Mainstream adoption is around the corner my friends.

1. Why this will benefit ETH and BTC:


It will bring "mainstream" money into Bitcoin related things....if Bitshares takes off....I believe Bitcoin will too....so will ETH..this just further empowers this ecosystem...Bitcoin was first and it will act as Digital gold....there is already a ton of infastructure around BTC being developed still and I think BTS doing well is only going to bring more light to BTC. Banx.io is using the Bitshares blockchain for there exchange and the entire BanX ecosystem is designed to support the Bitcoin economy. Please check out BanX capital and how they are tied into Bitshares.

http://banxcapital.com/                ---> BanX is designing products to support the BTC economy. BanX is also hopping on to the BITSHARES 2.0 platform when it launches. www.bitshares.org


We as a community need to support great projects such as ETH , BTS, BANX because they empower our econemy as a whole.

I think you would be wrong, ehtereum is the first to explore what the blockchain can do more! Let's wait and see, but this is what the blockchtechnology can bring, decentralised decion maing, decentralized governing etc etc etc, contracts, file storage, continu continu.

I do agree that that is the potential, we'll have to wait and see what happens

Finite By Design is pleased to announce the first of four scheduled limited edition 'Stages of Ethereum Launch' bars. Ethereum's 'Stage 1: FRONTIER' is commemorated with a limited mint of 300 individually numbered 5" Ether Frontier bars (100 with antique gold finish, 100 with antique silver finish and 100 with antique copper finish). As the Ethereum project progresses, a unique batch will be made to commemorate each stage; Stage 2 'Homestead', Stage 3 'Metropolis' and finally Stage 4 'Serenity'.

I believe its a prediction market and not necessarily a decentralized gambling market.

Yes i would like to know the same thing?

Any update on when PoS will be available as an option to remove PoW?

Sometime around the first of the new year is the target I believe.

Thanks for the advice

Security Advisory [eth (cpp-ethereum) potentially vulnerable if running with UPnP enabled]

Is that the ongoing ethereum chatter that is facilitating the rumor that ETH will rise in value soon as we approached that October 19th date? Do yo have any references for this ongoing chatter? Twitter or reddit?

not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but was just wondering if anyone knows whats up with oneether's pool? payments from the pool were regular and steady up until last week, but there hasnt been anything done in a week now. im a low hashrate miner, and have been using oneether since its inception, but no response has been received when i wrote them on facebook. id want to trust them, i like their service, and with their whole platform released as open source, it seems as though they are trying hard to be a real player in the community, but with no payments made whatsoever recently, the pool is down to two miners, myself and someone else. im still making shares, even though im not making MUCH overall.

is it time to walk away from oneether to another pool?

Augur is what decentralized gambling? You know what the problem is? Services like these will never work on any large scale because there's no advertising. ...its like saying hey everyone there's this awesome thing you can do but no one's going to know because it's not run by anyone nor promoted. And there will be a few hundred ppl making these as novelties or company sports betting that is about it.
