Topic: Ethereum hard-fork in ~20 hours - page 2. (Read 15645 times)

This is what happens, when you are messing things up (like ETH is doing, pumps & dumps of s*itcoins on Polo): http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ecb-bitcoin-eu-idUSKCN12I1HC

Not to mention ether.camp's $50 million crowdsale/ICO...

I think ethereum (ETH) has done second hard fork and on date 25/10/2016 ethereum classic (ETC) will do first hard fork and i will see what will happen with ETH and ETC (their price). It is time to stop trading all of them in my opinion except just for collection of course with low amount.

hmm,
If you were a smarter person, I would not have to explain it to you.
But since you asked,

Many people due to age or mental status or just due to local laws that ban certain things, can easily have any contract voided in an actual court of law , and since the Dev of Eth has already proven he will fork it so his buddies don't lose money, courts will be able to compel him to write the updates or pay fines in reparation ,  so he will be forced to create these additional hard forks , which even if some miners refuse to follow him, exactly how many versions of the bloated code do you think can exist.
Each new Eth chain would diminish and divide the community until it dies.
You know United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Plus the fact Eth is not recognized by any court anywhere as actual legal contracts , more of just automated code.
Plus what idiot is going to write an alarm clock code that requires a download of a 100 Gigabyte blockchain,  when one can be written in less than a few megabytes in a normal programming language. Eth is just a bunch of hype pushed by Goldman Sachs to take advantage of the lower IQ among us. 

 

Well, you are so much more stupid than i am. Expressing concern doesn't mean anything, you're like that wannabe dev on this forum that expresses concern about anything with potential and attention, and when something inevitably doesn't go as planned, since everything out there is imperfect be like: I've warned you, it's flawed. I also express concern about all the projects out there including ethereum, global warming and your sex life. The only thing i'm certain it is worked on and being improved is ethereum.
If you think anything can be done perfectly and finished in the first try, you're stupid and you don't understand how things work. Mankind is improving for millions of years already, flashnews.
Edit: and the guy told you the obvious thing, obviously doh. If you're concerned it's only natural, obviously it's not a perfect system and it still has flaws, difference is they're actively fixed or improved.

You do realize that the DAO FAIL was back in June? And it did not affected only ETH, but the entire market? Should I remind you that I expressed my concerns 8 days before it happened? And that it may affect the entire "cryptoworld"? Market cap of cryptocurrencies was shrinked with more than $2.5Bn in a week. But, yeah, keep cheer leading a technology, which keeps changing the rules. Back then your fellow cheerleader Mindlesscache laughed, but then he suddenly disappeared and now he shows whenever he feels comfortable.  I show up whenever I feel that something is wrong and if people are losing money. Just like in this case:

And many more!

NLG is down by 39% as we speak.

About a week ago I had conversation with Emin Gun Sirer and I told him straight that I don't like Ethereum. His answer was something like "There are many people who don't like it.". There is a reason for that.

I had enough with your stupidity!

the fact that it CAN hard fork with ease is very very very very concerning.

Because of the amount of money invested into it given it's potential, therefore the solid infrastructure that came with this amount of money, having probably the biggest development team in blockchain sphere and constantly developing and innovating, then it suddenly started to gain attention and people noticed it, that's why its price increased, it was severely underpriced. And you cannot deny that, market decided it is that way. Then the priced halved because of the panic caused by the dao project fail ( not the network fail ) .
I don't deny pumps and dumps didn't exist in ethereum project in the very early stage, they exist and existed in all projects, and at that chapter bitcoin is king. But that's how things works, the easiest way to gain attention is to pump, then people decide if they want to join for speculation reason or if they think the value can be backed up by potential.
Nowadays eth price is not manipulated by whales nor anyone, otherwise we'd see much bigger swings in price, it's just what market believes. After the succesful fork, network improved alot since they fixed it's biggest problems, but some smaller attack vectors remained, and when the weaker attacks started 1-2 days ago, market reacted to it but not as severely, given the fact that the effect is so much lower and that it's going to be fixed in the upcoming HF.

Why bother answering to this proved shill? But, oh, ok.

Ethereum price increased with some 1000% over the course of 3 months (January - March), then it halved by April when a new pump started and it gained like 500% in 1 month. But, yeah, I am the one who is dumb here....

What bothers me the most is that people don't react to stupidity and facade otherwise you'd be whipped by random people in the public market. Reminder: before attacks started, ether was over 15$, and over the weeks it dropped to close to 11$ because of the DDOS attacks that slowed down the network. So, almost 30% drop in price because of a ddos attack that slowed down the network ( keep in mind, network was never at imminent risk of failure, just slowed down) is not a reaction to you ? Jeez, you're dumb.
Edit: ofcourse it's about making money, everything in this world is about making money and no one does it for free, especially if it's done while programming, inventing, innovating. Difference between eth and other 100000 altcoins is that it's making money pattern is based on something real, not same shit wrapped as caviar and sold to same idiots, like all these wannabe altcoin currencies are.

Yo guys can I have one of the blockchains after forking just like etc how did some one take control over it?

What bothers me the most is that the market is not reacting to the ETH issues. After the last fork the price dropped by some 5.5 - 6% (and it's in decline ever since), probably because there was another attack (not sure if it continues), but all in all that proves that ETH price is sustained by some powerful whales. I believe that if Ethereum fix everything and it deals with the attacks for some time, then they will pump the price. This has nothing to do with the technology. It's all because of one purpose - making more money.

yup.. decentralized yet launched via an ICO 
mmmmhhhmmmm 

Patch Day Tuesday ? Get your Windows updates people ?
Well..
"Patch Day Tuesday" has a new meaning now thanks to kiklo ! 

Oh and forget about asking questions of the FraudBoys..
The other one is still hiding since i asked him how many accounts he has logged into here.
Or should i call him "Stoat" ? 
All these guys do is spew BS then hide anything that could identify them.

We have a rotating obscene group shilling hard for ETH who bend over backwards to hide who they are or what their ties to Ethereum are.
For all we know one of these or ALL of these puppet shill accounts are Butters himself.

And what's your point ? You don't lose ethers if you don't update. You only want to update if you're hosting a node, like if you're an exchange, or you're an active miner.

You're definitely not a very smart person, miners decide to fork because they believe the reasoning behind the fact that flaws need to be fixed. And lawsuits against who ? ETF doesn't own ethereum, it's decentralized, it has twice more nodes than bitcoin, with biggest miner not owning more than 2% of total hashrate.

Let it be known from Now on and forever more.  

Tuesdays will be Ethereum Hard Fork Day

That will give them 52 hard forks a year.
Who thinks that still won't be enough.  


 

FYI:
Just wait til the lawsuits start that will require Eth Devs to hard fork to change previous contracts to avoid contempt of court charges. 

May I suggest to assign one of the tokens to each old blockchain and let them to run on their own exclusive ETH blockchain and maintain ETH free of any token lolllzzz we can call the forked chains by token's names, how about that?

@mining1

"i'm not a technical person"

well then how many $million did you float as VC to support fork-a-ETH?

Posting your mugshot on a public forum doesn't make you any better, credible, relevant, knowledgeable etc, than anyone else on this site. You only posted your mugshot for your little project fail community and your fud, to attempt to back them up, atleast that's what you believe, in your little brain. It doesn't work, you have failed. Everyone on this forum can see how weak your FUD against ethereum is, you lack any general knowledge about anything (i'm not a technical person either but i can have some sense and logic), and i see the guy @bbc.reporter have noticed it aswell.
P.S: ethereum will probably HF atleast 3 times more in my opinion, not taking into consideration the roadmap HF's. The shock alone from that alone will kill you, you little sensible dollface.

You keep calling me dollface, but you are not showing yourself. I already bitch-slapped you like a 10s of times. Should I say more?

And i'm not a shill nor i'll ever be. Decided to play a bit with my ETH, shorted 30% of it because of this attack, will buy back as soon as i'm happy with the gain. Still, after this short, i won't be a two faced slut like dollface and FUD because i wanna buy back.
