How does Ethereim handle the scaling problem? It looks like they will be soon having an insane transaction volume with all the members of the consortium joining and building apps. Why does the Ethereim scaling strategy work there buy not on Bitcoin?

Switching to POS = centralization...

i always wonder how pos coins handle block limit? and transaction getting stuck? they have the same issue as a pow right? or maybe not because confirmation and fee go to everyone, who is minting because they are the mienrs, i would like to have an explanation on this thanks

Transactions are not getting stuck on any of the Alts, because they all have multiple times the Transaction Capacity of BitCrap.
And can easily handle what is currently crashing BTC.

LTC (for the PoW lovers) has 4X the capacity of BTC

ZEIT (PoST) has 20X the capacity of BTC.

And it is all due to the fact we both have faster block speeds.

Cool

.... and market cap = trust ?

Market cap = current manipulation

Do you really believe this product that has declined in usability has actually increased in value and stabilized at the ~ price of gold.
China is playing you guys for fools. Tongue

Artificial Price Manipulation is not a technological innovation, a lot of you are going to learn this lesson the hard way. Wink

FYI:
One reason so many of you are so easy fooled , is that you do not compartmentalize.
You associate Price with Technical Superiority and this causes you to make foolish choices.

The 'usability' is getting now more and more like gold - it's more scarce, more secure, costly to dig and sadly getting close to 'heavy to move' as gold...

FYI:
PoS coins handle transactions in the order they are created,
PoW coins handle transactions in the order of whoever pays a Higher Fee (Tainted toward the rich).

This means PoS coins would never have these massive delays like PoW, since on PoS , jumping in front of others is not being done. Wink

Chinese Mining Pools have a Combined 67% of BTC mining for over a year,
The only security BTC has is what they grant it, since they can rewrite the last 12 hours of the blockchain on a whim.

PoW is not secure, it has larger #s , but those #s are pointless due to a 51% attack.

PoS is much more secure, that is why ETH is switching.

Cool

Oh no - not again - you lost all this discussion about Poor Org Shit so many times now. Security in open internet comes from work, not from bank like ownership.

Never lost one , to your dumb ass. Cheesy

China completely dominates PoW based BTC, only a fool denies that.
It has no security except your Trust in China.
BTC=Better Trust China

Wrong. Latest info that i've read few months ago was that you need 32 ETH to stake. So there should easily be tens of thousands of possible stakers.

My hope is Ethereum will die (crash & burn under its own security flaws + scaling dilemma) and be replaced by something that can scale decentralized.

Let's see what happens...

You say that for every project, eventually you'll be right since obviously some of them will crash and die, and you'll be like: I told you so, i was right !
Let's go with the small possibility that ethereum will fail; Even if it does, it still changed blockchain technology as we know it, forever. All blockchain was about was transactions, before ethereum happened. It's like the transition from horse carriage to a car, and you know it, probably won't admit it tho.

Well, it really make sense if actual owners of coins held accountable for security and updates.
We see how miners usurped power in ETH and rewrite transactions to get money for themselves.
We see how miners usurped power in Bitcoin and made it unusable for everyday transactions.
We see how miners usurped power in LTC and trying to delay major update Litecoin users want to implement. No matter how good or bad segwit is, miners just trying to block segwit in litecoin because they can.
At least PoS coins can have clear consensus and implement hard forks without all this drama.

Switching to POS = centralization...

Isn't it the other way around? Take Bitcoin as prime example, most of the hashrate centralized in China due to cheap electricity cost. In PoS there is no electricity cost which means that the network won't only be centralized in places with cheap electricity but can be anywhere -> decentralization.

To answer OP's question, in very basic terms. Ethereum uses the same concept as Bitcoin Unlimited = the miners choose how big the blocks are.

Not really. PoS = big stakeholders rule, also, PoS is way more insecure than PoW. Nothing tops the security of bitcoin's PoW network with his huge hashing rate. Ethereum = banksters coin. Now big pocketed banks will call the shots.

BU just doesn't work, that's why it will never get anywhere. Bitcoin Core is the best we got nowadays objectively. Sure it sucks that china has cheap ass electricity which makes them big players in the mining game, specially when we have that Jihan idiot blocking segwit, but can we do? They still have to deal with the other parties (nodes, merchants, and wallet developers)

In BUcoin model, miners rule. In ETHcoin model, banksters rule.

Because it's not like the bitcoin dev still playing on the telenovela and drama. But Currently, ethereum still POW, with no deadline the Casper Pos system will be launching. and I think ethereum will become the hybrid system. IMO Casper pos is not making ethereum change into the POS system for 100%.

Yesterday i make a transaction for ethereum and i just take 2 minutes to deliver. And bitcoin take an hour. A lot of the gap for the scaling range among ethereum and bitcoin.

In Ethereum (please OP, correct the title, it reads horrible), they have an unit called "gas". It determines the fee paid for storage and computation.

From this reddit post:

Quote from: Reddit user JohnnyLatte

Ethereum has a gas limit rather than a block size. The gas limit is a cap on both processing and storage/bandwidth because the cost of a transaction/function is fixed in units of gas for each type of instruction.

The gas limit is voted up or down by each miner and each miner determines what gas price it is willing to accept which is like bitcoin transaction fees but on a per gas basis rather than a per transaction basis.

The "gas" unit has a price in Ether set by the miners.

At a first glance, it seems Ethereum works a bit like Bitcoin Unlimited, because the miners vote the gas limit which is the equivalent for the maximal block size. Can someone confirm this?

So then, Etheriem blockchain won't get too bloated?

It's simple ethereum are going to quit mining and switch over from proof of work(POW) to proof of stake (POS) and that concept alone entertains centralization that's why they have it that way.
