so it hogher supply  has huge impact on price drop
however.. we are "close to the wall".. so I think we could not drop much  before todays eth price (at least in btc)

Is there any news about changing to proof of stake instead of PoW?

It started with the Byzantium update.
Next in turn is Constantinople one; but the complete PoS change will not happen in less than ~1.5 years from now (at least this is the official info in etherium blog)

And what do you mean by "started"? They made some early technical preparations for the change or is it something else?

Metropolis update was broken into 2 distinct and separate hard forks. Byz was 1 of 2. Something like 9 EIPs were implemented. Const hf will be 2/2, completing the features/functionality outlined for Metropolis.

Just google the subject and you'll find lots of info.

Russia’s Crypto-Ruble Just Changed the Game

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-17/russia%E2%80%99s-crypto-ruble-just-changed-game

Russia Embraces its Own Cryptos

By calling Bitcoin as a Ponzi scheme and an avenue for money laundering Putin and the Bank of Russia are simply attacking technologies that are not home-grown.  They are, like every other person in the markets, ‘talking their book.’

Putin would prefer people use platforms that are Russian.  Remember, he’s also a nationalist trying to bring Russia prestige in this important market going forward.

Ethereum and WAVES are both platforms designed by and built for Russia. So, you’ll notice that Putin has never spoken out against Ethereum.  WAVES continues to fly under a lot of people’s radar, but it is just as disruptive as Ethereum.

They both provide a platform to act as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for the next generation of internet-based applications.  Ethereum is a kind of operating system for Internet 3.0 while WAVES is next generation forex exchange as well as providing an easy platform for issuing new public/private equity.

WAVES is what will back the Moscow Exchange’s move to trade cryptocurrencies and their derivatives.  It will act at the gateway for all of the currency exchanges.  So, if you have dollars, Bitcoins, rubles or Ethereum you can buy and sell stocks on the Moscow Exchange eventually.

All nice and legal.  All above-board.

Evil Putin is looking for pension-fund investors seeing Russian bonds trading above 7% and he just gave fund managers a way to come in through the crypto-back door.

Don’t think for a second that Putin doesn’t like Bitcoin as a means to attract investor capital.  This is what Russian Miner Coin is all about.  He just wants it to be regulated so it can ensure the public sphere is maximized..............







Cryptoruble might be a vialable idea. And good for Russian that they  in the world intriduce as one of the first countries in the world. Hope Vitalik will hepl its mothreland how to make security even more reliable

Ethereum's fork may have executed earlier this week, but that doesn't mean developers are ready to call the software transition complete.
One of the biggest-ever changes to the world's second-largest blockchain, ethereum's hard fork was a risky and complex process. To transition successfully, all nodes (the computers that run the software) were required to universally install upgrades – a transition that was expected and encouraged to occur simultaneously across the global platform.
However, in the case of the Byzantium fork, that's not exactly what happened.
As the upgrades were released mere days before the hard fork, a sizeable portion of the network has yet to make the shift. In fact, at press time, only 25.1 percent of Parity and 58.4 percent of Geth, the most popular ethereum clients, have upgraded, meaning roughly 45 percent of the network is running the new software.

Forty-eight companies have joined the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, including Hewlett-Packard spin-off HP Enterprise (HPE).

The list of new members is varied, drawn from the blockchain startup ecosystem as well as the IT, finance and academic worlds. Among the new members is the University of New South Wales, which this week unveiled a new consumer loyalty research initiative that sees it offering the cryptocurrency ether as a reward for purchases. In total, 200 firms are now taking part in the initiative.

It's perhaps unsurprising that HPE would throw its weight behind the EEA, given its recent moves around the technology. As previously reported, HPE worked with distributed ledger startup R3 to develop new solutions for its client base, and by August had already begun testing with some of its customers.

I have the feeling ETH is still collecting momentum before it's shooting up big time (maybe when people realize that Bitcoin Gold is trash).

The Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) announced today that Hewlett Packard Enterprise, along with 47 other companies, had joined, raising membership to 200. In addition, four member-driven Working Groups were launched bringing the total to 14 Working Groups and Committees initiated since EEA’s launch in February of this year.

Should this do for ETH what IBM news did for Lumens?

It has half the revenue of IBM; but 4 times more worthy assets

any prediction about ethereum price? should i hodl eth for long time ...Huh
someone said that eth price will be go to the moon .. soon ...is it true??
any thoughts?
Ethereum price will still rise up as time goes by. I believe that, see so many ICOs now running through ethereum token. Holding for long time is best strategy but not so good. 
thanks buddy .. for your thoughts about ethereum..
i think you are right ... indeed every icos running through ETH token..
hold for long time is the best for all. ..
lets see what happen in future..
