Topic: Ethereum’s Proof of Stake is 75% complete - page 2. (Read 5552 times)

When hybrid mining and eventually full POS will happen, price will naturally increase because the pressure miners put on price ( by selling ) will cease to exist.

The curent miners will split among the several gpu mining projects out there, but since their market valuation is low, and if their value doesn't increase, then most miners will be forced to sell their video cards.

ETC's hashrate increased because it, like several other projects, got pumped out of blue without any reason. Therefore it lured some more hashing power.

Remember this: in 1 year time ETH's new floor will be around 100usd. ETH will get anonimity in summer with metropolis, mass offchain scaling with raiden in 1 month.

Brendan Eich, founder of mozilla and javascript's programming language, he and his team will hold an ico on ethereum. They are building a web navigator, called Brave, with adblock included, and with an option to disable adblock and basically get paid for enabling ads. Currently, not having adblock enabled is a pain in the ass because sites load slower, they are annoying, and all the benefits are going to the advertisers/sites/products advertised. With Brave, they will have to share their profits.

Billionaires, academics, institutions, corporations, they are all interested and one way or another working on ethereum. There are over 250 corporations interested to join EEA.

Ethereum is not bitcoin. All the talks around bitcoin is so delusional, something like this: "how much do you think BTC will worth in 10 years? Will BTC replace fiat system ? Why isn't everyone using bitcoin ?
Meanwhile, ETH's talk subjects revolve around dapps, different kind of projects, development, scaling, privacy, institutional interest, corporate adoption, academics implementing ethereum in universities, etc.

miners of altcoins, specially when they know these altcoins have no future, will always switch to the most profitable coin. they mine and 99% of the time dump and in 1% they hold until a pump and then dump. and when things become less profitable they simply switch to a more profitable coin!
ETC can be a good candidate but there are a lot of other coins still out there giving good profits to miners.

it will go down for sure but not because of this, this can actually cause some rise. but ETH will go down because it is a bad project with many holes in it.
and on top of that it is currently in a big bubble.

This is also something that I would like to know. I guess there is stll nothing planned, and it will come when it will be finished. Then once finished, they will announce a date.

How long till Ethereum POS algo changed?

Certain POW Blocks reached?

PoS will be a huge boon for ETH. Expect the price to rise dramatically when it is implemented.

Despite of changing from POW to POS

How would the price get affected?

As POS = % of holding annually, which means user need to hold to generate

Therefore, a raise?

 When considering future eth price after the change.. dont forget all the many miners who will feel burned and want nothing with it in any form, despite knowing so long in advance the changeover would happen. Those are/were the hardcore alt people who drove it into acceptance and can drive it into the ground later with bitterness

masternode is the next crash and burn.
yes the model works.
but there will be blood.

Oh no, do not think so ! If they go the masternode way, except at least 0,1BTC per ETH, if not more ! However, I doubt there will be a great shift, as they will be splitted near equally into Monero, ZCash, ZCash Classic and Ethereum Classic.

Just because Ethereum becomes Proof of Stake doesn’t really matter for the price in the long run. I mean what ethereum is today and the price and the marketcap is not directly correlated with it.

I think all these smart contracts and ICO’s that require eth instead of BTC and such reasons are why eth is so big, not Proof of Stake. I have no worry in the World as an investor fort he long term.

Never if they will go for masternode system it will be price boost like 4x over time.
Masternodes will eat inflation + volume from dao's : ) and price may rise overtime.
Since POS masternodes will be payed for REAL service that is diskspace so i think this can work.
In BTC people are calculation for fun some string here they will provide usefull enviorment for network.

PS: I have whole 0.1% Eth vs 95%BTC but i am not blind fan boy.
Look at NEM low inflation and price nicely climbs same will be with ETH.
If now ETH can survive 14% inflation imagine that price boom when with master-nodes ETH will have like 2% inflation.

What will the emission rate be under the Proof of Stake?

you would figure price would go up with such less coins being made per day compared to now, only time will tell, i still think current price is to high for me to buy in hopefully it dips under 40 that would be a good entry point i think.

Good news for ethereum holders
if this true,, it will make the ethereum price start the rally again..
 

Not sure about this.

I'll probably keep buying Ethereum because I need to diversify from bitcoin anyways, but Ethereum Classic seems to be a real alternative right now for the PoW miners out there. Price of Ethereum is still quite high though.

I'll just hold and see

Damn that's so fast, Proven ETH be trusted altcoins.I guess take your part from now

I think price of ETH may be decrease after 1 year from this

What will happen to the miners of Ethereum after the switch to proof of stake? I have asked this question before and I have received a lot of answers that say they will mine other coins. They are in denial of the certainty that those miners will go to the cryptocoin that is most convenient for those miners. ETC.

The hashrate of ETC increased to almost 2 terrahashes and rising. The price is also rising at a good pace together with hashrate. If the hashrate of ETH is falling then we could see that a shift is happening.

It is this article made me think about the ETH and ETC landscape.



The Taipei Ethereum Meetup

Vitalik Buterin is one of the biggest players behind Ethereum, he is one of the founders and currently working as lead developer. Vitalik Buterin showed up at the Taipei Ethereum meetup, where he made a statement that the prerparation for Proof of Stake are now 75% complete. This is good news for all the people who are expecting the release of Ethereums next stage.

Where is Ethereum heading towards?

This is not the very first time where Ethereum came into news headlines. In one of the recently held interviews, Hudson Jameson, another founder and a  member of the Ethereum Foundation, gave an insight about the cryptocurrencies development. He explained how the roadmap for Ethereum will look like in 2017. Within a period of six months, they are looking forward to release the next version of their code, which is called Metropolis. After that, the consensus protocol will be switched from proof of work to proof of stake.
