ETH Team is just stated that the forking would be at the latest late Sepetember,.... couple days from now and PoS ll be started.
You know where the price will go right?
Grin

ok, you mean ETH price will go to the moon, just like BTC fork right ?
I hope that really happened, because i'll hold ETH from now Grin

For short time yes ethereum's price will be rise and it is good for taking short profit because of this fluctuating the price
but ethereum goes to PoS ( proof of stake from proof of work) will not good for stores value long time,
because ethereum won't has maximum supply of coins, it is mean ethereum will be like fiat money the inflation come to ethereum
so becareful with ethereum after goes to PoS.

There is one coin that went POW to POS and didn't die? There is a valuable POS coin in the world?

I don't like ETH but I guess what investors and buyers really like about it is its certainty in the sense of direction. With Bitcoin you have consensus problems but with ETH you just have a few leaders who get together and decide. DAO hack? Hard fork done. PoS, sure, let's do it. And I am not sure about price increase after POS... it is not exactly a good news is it?

Switching to POS means: Every investor (coinholder) can profit.

in other words the rich gets richer and the poor gets dust.
the rich such as the ethereum foundation and the dev who are holdinga total of 72 million ETH tokens which they premined.
such a good decentralization. well done. Wink

After the fork of ETH it will be like after the BTC fork:
A strong rise of the price.

you are a fool to think ethereum is anything like bitcoin!
bitcoin price rises because it got rid of a cancer called scaling debate. and it also rises because it has real demand. neither of these are true in ethereum.

Quote from: McWorse on August 23, 2017, 03:05:36 AM

Because at this point, people will comprehend, that fudsters like you told nothing else than shit before the fork, only to dump the price in order to collect cheap coins for profit.

you are even a bigger fool if you think a comment on bitcointalk can change anything about price.

Hello. Bye.

Ethereum won't die guys, it will never die. It will continue to grow stronger until something better takes its place, but will always remain a top 5 coin.

Does this mean the people who have been buying up all the eth or mining it will have a monopoly over the rest of us since the staking massive amount of coins with huge weight behind it.

Someone said it will be less profitable to mine. But why ? I don't think so. You can stake what you mining while you mine more. Wouldn't that just even it out ?

The POS integration of ETH will be gradual. People will still be able to mine bit through POW but difficulty will start to really kick in. Of course its price will climb up because of this.

Pardon my ignorance, but why should this force the price upwards? It becomes increasingly less profitable to mine as mined block generation gets slower. I guess I need to look closer at the details. I assumed "gradual" meant blocks would also be generated through staking. So people are incentivized to stake, but since the system is generally untested and unproven, it seems like there is a lot of room for FUD. Not only that, but there is room for real things to go wrong. With PoS, the potential cost of a 51% attack is zero (a majority just needs to agree). I like the idea, but I've never seen it work on paper, let alone in practice.

Because everything Lord Vitalik and the ETHtards do is based on hype alone, they never have a working product. ZERO, zilch, nil, nugatory.

Definitely, I agree with that. Assuming the fork itself goes smoothly and the vast majority of economic activity remains with Vitalik and company, the price should rally based on alleviation of market uncertainty and hype around the [untested] premises of the new system. It is truly amazing to see for the past year how far people are willing to run with their expectations about ETH.

Can someone name me that fabulous dapp yet? Have smart contracts saved the world from cancer yet? Or have they just allowed a bunch of scammers to launch ICO shitcoins every few hours?

It'll be a while. First, they need to figure out basic scalability considerations to even keep their system running as an ICO platform. It breaks every time there is a major ICO. Cheesy

We're talking about the price here and not our objective point of view towards the system of eth. As you said it, it will become less profitable to mine, then the effect will be an increase of buyers thereby increasing its value.
Yep, gradual since the integration of POS is not abrupt, majority of eth will still be mined through POW until upto maybe 2 years from now.

Ethereum is a ponzi-scheme dog-turd wrapped up in glitter and sold to morons. It does absolutely nothing it promises (because it can't), but don't worry even with the millions of dollars poured into it it still crashes and forks all of the time; Vitalik will promise you mETHheads the world super-computer is just biding it's time before that killer dapp comes out so he can scam more money lol (still have to dump those premined coins on someone, could it be u

)

Still waiting.

There will probably be fud and dumping of the coin, consider it as an opportunity to buy cheaper before it goes up.

The price of ETH will fly up to Mars, everyone will want to hold it and with the current situation the price of ETH has grown a little, which shows the sign of the portfolio conversion

I still think Proof of Stake is pretty far in the future. No one really knows how to do it safely yet.

Switching to PoS sounds like a very cool idea until you realise that the tens of millions of Eths held by the Foundation will make it more centralised instead of less.

Interesting point. It's true that in most cryptocurrencies -- ETH as well as BTC and others -- this would be the case. With PoS, distribution becomes extremely important. With PoS, ETH should indeed become more centralized, as it is already highly controlled by Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation. The user base already follows them unconditionally, for the most part. This will solidify their control.

ethereum classic will be the beneficiary. there's a whole load of mining looking for a new job. i expect it'll attract alot more action after this. it's easy to underestimate the effects mining has on market action.

Im still a newbie to altcoins and I dont understand well this forking thingy going to happen with etherium. Would it be good or bad? But as I am thinking about eth future, im hang with a question isn't eth could survive in a long run because of all the tokens using their platform plus the upcoming ICOs which also using it and since to transact erc20 tokens user need eth as fuel so demand would be endless unless this tokens also die?

Well the price of eth should skyrocet before the fork like the last time. Also don't forget about all the icos that are coming, ppl need eth. I think Eth is in a good place.
