POS give power to whales .
you need a very good pc to keep a POS coin running on you pc.
look at the history of POS coins. bitshares for example was among the 10 bigest in marketcap and now ?

POS is generally a good deal, I use blackcoin which is Proof of Stake and energycoin.    They both work ok, there is some impact for much older machines but really its not a problem I find and 2008 hardware was ok.    POS equates to capitalism I think, any standard too elitist wont survive long term
POS is ok as long as the coin is smal, as soon as there are rising numbers  of tx it becomes a problem
bitshares is the best example . average people with average pcs.  

and caspar is planed for when ? next year ?
POS equates capitalism? do you rever to it in theory or in ETH ?

i should check in the books but capitalism is if you invest and know the risk and take it if you win you get profit if you lose you lose your invetment. and no mummi comes running to help
do you think a dao desaster would not be able in a POS system ?
right now if i look at the systems in this world there is no capitalism . capitalism was taken over by cooperatism. socialic risk(ttip , ceta, and so on ) and socialic losses but privatic profit. and other special rules for the uper 1 %

didnt vitalic mention a superuser feature?

I went through the era of POS coins, and I like the past days that you can mine all coins in a couple of days or one to two weeks.
However, there is a reason that none of them survive.
Even strong as Blackcoin is slowly dying.
POS have ZERO Future in cryptocurrency, just pump and dump.

Any ideas why the price of ETH crash?
Strong BTC?
The focus transits to ZEC?

I think you have already given out the answer. In order of of ZCash and strong bitcoin. The ZCash could be very high.

Ethereum will fall further because ZCash is strong!?

We will see Ethereum $10?

Do I need 1500 ETH to join POS?

It is not a conventional POS - everything is going to be done from a fresh and new perspective.  

Until, you get an official announcement from the Foundation, no-one can answer your question.

Every opinion, is just that, an opinion.

Hello
I think it's because lot of people were impacted with las DoS attack.
Their wallet cannot sync and some think Ethereum was dead and sell all their coin...
Every time one cryptocurrencie stuck people can still connect sell coin...

Last week, SIA coin do same think, 2 days without sync, when you can open your wallet coin change fall down...


I uploaded a bootstrap file for ethereum :https://mega.nz/#F!UxMElYZR!D1AEMLiuCLTHFK51vDt2wA

Any idea why the price of Ethereum dropped so much recently? Is that due to the second hard fork?

I think that it most certainly is as a result of the second hard fork. Ethereum has so many flaws (security issues) and has gone through so many controversies, that maybe this has resulted in many investors to get out of ETH. Also, ETC's price is declining but in the bright side I hope that ETH becomes stronger after all of these past events.

I think that it would be wise to buy a few ETH while this happens. Maybe then, after all of this is solved prices could go all the way up again. Just sharing my opinion.   Grin

I doubt that.  Perhaps a small part, but updates to the protocol that fix security issues is no reason for a price drop, and that's what the recent releases have been about.  Furthermore, this update wasn't a controversial one at all, so I don't understand the reasoning behind why this would deflate the price.  Much more likely: it's because of the BTC price rising. It's very very typical for alt coin prices to fall as BTC price rises.  This has been observed many times before, on many different blockchains.

thats what i found on eth mist troubleshooting page :

Mist is synchronized but is stuck during the last part

Each time the Wallet is started it needs to sync the chain with the network. The first time it needs to download and verify the entire chain which can take a long time. Therefore a smarter and faster solution is used the first time the Wallet is started. It will not download and verify the entire chain but will only download specific parts up to a specific block (latest block - 1024 blocks). After that it will download and process the state of the contracts which can take quite some time. So please wait an let it finish downloading the state, otherwise it would start from scratch again. You can find more details here: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/1889.

(latest block - 1024 blocks)thats where mine stucks and then loads in again and stucks
so its not a bug its how it is designed

well i give it another try
new day new game

Si vis pacem, para bellum
mine works, even my rigs powered with conventional disks.

try nuking your chaindata and resync with --fast.

some of the block with malicious calculations refer back to previous blocks to crunch more data. limiting the bulk of old blocks to headers only curbs the amount of erroneous calculations needed to process (and sync) a block.
how to resync with --fast ?
would you be so kind and give a step by step list ?

In windows open cmd.
Go to directory where your geth is
Enter geth --fast
I am not sure  but you probably should start from zero so you should delete old chain data (blocks).. search for removedb

ok thank you, i will try this and give feedback couse i think there are otheres with the same problem

and for info me os is win7
geth mist 0.8.6



Thank you too, have also massive problems to get the mist client synced, will give it a try.
does anyone know how big chaindata gets ? blocks are almost synced but chain structure as at 13 mil and keeps counting up. whole chaindate is right now around 9.3 gb

Nearly 50 GB at the moment

Hi

After two week of slow sync I found a solution.
I use three computer and 2 different adsl lines.  Undecided
I takes long time I was always late about 1500 blocks
Every time I catch my late, I loose peers and again after connected 1500 ~ 2000 block late ...

After passing all "bad blocks" now my wallet sync very fast.

I build a "boostrap" ... until ethereum team find a good solution to fix this slow sync and DoS attacks you can use it.

How to uses my "bootstrap" files :

ps: files are uploading, i'll put link after finish
