https://cointelegraph.com/news/ethereum-researcher-says-staking-reveals-ip-address-sparking-privacy-concerns
A researcher at the Ethereum Foundation has revealed that the IP addresses of Ether stakers are monitored as part of a broader set of metadata, causing the cryptocurrency community to flag Ethereum for privacy concerns.
In an April 12 interview on the crypto podcast Bankless, EF researcher Justin Drake revealed that he learned this information “internally” — presumably, at the foundation.
The metadata Drake referred to is used to track a wide range of things, he explained:
“There’s a lot of metadata, you can look at deposit addresses, you can look at withdrawal addresses, you can look at fee recipients, you can look at IP addresses.”

"The blockchain’s likely inability to increase throughput in the short term and increasing competition from alternative networks will constrain its adoption and usage, the report said.
Bank of America sees Ethereum upgrades as “significant technological accomplishments, but not necessarily more significant or advanced than those implemented by next-generation blockchains that have emerged as viable alternatives.”
The bank says Ethereum’s likely inability to increase throughput in the short term and increasing competition from alternative blockchains will constrain its adoption and usage.
Ethereum’s “long-term viability” is dependent on the execution of its development road map, the report said. This includes the implementation of a sharding approach called Danksharding, which aims to reduce the costs of transactions originating on scaling solutions and cut the processing and storage requirements for validators."

"The upgrades are hotly anticipated by users who staked ETH in the network—either as individual validators or through platforms like Lido Finance and Rocket Pool—as they will soon be able to withdraw their assets and accumulated rewards.
But Ethereum users may not be able to withdraw their funds immediately, or all at once. According to Andrew Thurman, a data analyst at Nansen, the length of the withdrawal queue could result in users having to wait several weeks to withdraw their funds."
“When you look at the fundamentals,” Thurman told Decrypt, “whatever the impact of withdrawals going live is, it's going to play out over a period of weeks and not days.”

The Ethereum blockchain is set to undergo its next major update since the network switched from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake through The Merge. The upcoming upgrade, dubbed “Shapella,” which combines the Shanghai and Capella validator changes, is expected to take place on April 12, 2023. While most users will not be affected by the change, the hard fork aims to enable staking validators to withdraw their staked ethereum.

Wow, do any of you guys know the addresses holding these lost coins? I might be able to work something out, but first I need to make sure that I'm not going after cold wallets of other people, however after finding these lost coins I will share a percentage of the prize which hopefully the owners of those coins will give me, with anyone sharing intel on lost coins. https://www.theblock.co/amp/post/221453/over-1-billion-of-ether-lost-forever-bugs-human-error

1 day, 11 hours until Shanghai. So many possible outcomes. Bearish most likely since released supply can only really go one direction but maybe some of it already priced in from the overall drop the past month+? Coming soon.
The Ethereum Shanghai hard fork, set to occur on April 12, will implement Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)-4895 — allowing validators and stakers to withdraw staked ETH from the Beacon Chain — in addition to other EIPs, aiming to help increase transaction speeds while reducing transaction costs.
Shanghai refers to the fork on the execution layer client side, and Capella is the upgrade name on the consensus layer client side that is set to be executed shortly after Shanghai on April 12.
The execution layer is where all the smart contracts and protocol rules are, while the consensus layer ensures that all network validators follow these rules.

Hey eth coiners, is there any bounty reward for keccak256 collisions? If there is please let me know so I can get to work on it, need money.🤑
Edit: after reading the bug bounty page, I live in a sanctioned country and can't receive any reward, so fuck you eth foundation. Vitalik and all of your centralized network of scam contracts.🙃

Withdrawals are coming! The Shapella network upgrade will activate on the Ethereum network at epoch 194048, scheduled for 22:27:35 UTC on Apr. 12, 2023
Stakers & node operators should read this post as well as the Withdrawals FAQ
From now until April 5th, the Ethereum Bug Bounty rewards have been doubled for Shapella vulnerabilities

My scenario, altcoins are a small increase of 30-70% before the fork, then the price falls.

Breaking: Shanghai upgrade executed on testnet but not without issues
There were, however, issues with the hard fork. Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko noted that while deposits were being processed, the process didn’t run as smoothly as it could have because several testnet validators didn’t upgrade their client software before the Goerli fork.

All you need to know about the Shanghai/Capella upgrade, and what it means for stakers and the web3 ecosystem.
Now, the Ethereum community is rallying behind the next planned upgrade on the roadmap—the Shanghai/Capella upgrade. It is doubly named because it is the first simultaneous upgrade of Ethereum’s execution layer and consensus layer, and is highly anticipated because it will enable staked ETH withdrawals."

do not be surprised with that ape look on buterins face when he realizes the guy like me is in control of him and no other way for him is left but to go upstage with remorseful face and announce the suspension of plans. Highbrow nuts say market takes care of itself because it proceeds hand in glove with development but they do not know how centralized this place has become since my coming to power.
i am a very modest user, but i do not understand the precise finality of this manoevers..
please explain..
