The dev team sees what needs to be done, talks about it and what should have been done in three calm months gets pushed to two hectic months. Most of their time is spent in the forum fielding questions. Then, the rushed software gets bombarded with every BTC enthusiast that sees the opportunity to create what feels like their own coin with any programming knowledge

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/56oe86/100gb_network_in_and_150gb_network_out_on_amazon/?st=iu45z9dx&sh=db813f5b

100GB network in and 150GB network out on amazon instance running just geth with 64 peers in a one day

"I logged to amazon to check for curiosity correctness of this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/56ih4a/geth_upto_its_old_tricks_10_gigs_transferred_daily/

and saw that cost estimation for a current month is much larger than usually and the largest part of a month-to-date cost is a DataTransfer. There is a large peak three days ago, but today it isn't much better. I used a calculator here:

http://calculator.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html

And it seems that I will have to pay about $500 monthly for running geth there. Can someone confirm those numbers and that they aren't decreasing? I'm stopping this instance until it is solved.

edit: click at a "Sum" and period "1 Day" on a instances page -> monitoring"

We are lucky that any of the Crypto coins, wallets and otherwise work at all. Rushed devs, hacking attempts and open source software that any one any where can grab up and create a possible fork.

Bugs in Geth come from people pushing devs to release quicker. The forum is literally sixty pages deep talking from the time that a fork for the original ETH was mentioned.

Most smart little cookies can push it through without a ETH fee though and then it sits there and haunts the chain forever, as the person gives up and moves on.

they forgot to put "attack" at the end o the URL

"The real solution is to change the gas costs, but that requires a hard fork"

How many half created assets are on the ETH chain? They have a name, description and other data, but once the user tried to create it they realized it required payment in ETH.

Looks like Ethereum have the bug again, network hashrate just droped from ~5000GH/s down to 2775.7 GH/s
http://fork.ethstats.net/

They can't go straight into assets without first learning BTC and the basics. But, they can start Googling and end up with ETH and Geth. First blush it looks a lot easier and like something they can handle, but before too long they have created an asset that only exists on their computer or is completely wrong, maybe a hanging TX

I have always lived by the coast in the south-west of UK and like to SCUBA dive.
Plus, i cannot fly or drive in the mountains after diving in the blak sea without risk of a bend. Cheesy

It looks nice though. I will look you up when i come over. Can you help me with legal documents?

I think we are off topic now, while we laugh with each other it looks like the markes have responded to the bug in "geth"

And the first thing Ethereum do is get in bed with 45 banks in the R3 Consortium where the Federal Reserve is at the center of the network.

My own words: https://twitter.com/FAILCommunity/status/778160843884269568

Yes, it's so the banking establishment have a safety net when fiat fails. Negative interest rates are on there way so it will soon cost money to keep assets in the bank.
Remember what happened in Greece? The Government confiscated 60% of everyone's money and gave it to Germany. Then the state restricted ATM withdraws to 60 euros per day regardless of how much money you had in your bank account. Greece government should have done an Iceland and defaulted on their payments. Anyhow, many in Greece moved over to Bitcoin.

Now that the Banks have Ethereum, it will be easy for the state to confiscate peoples crypto too.

Honestly i haven't checked it myself every and each of these projects but from what i've checked:
1. Digix offers something the world needs, easy way to buy gold.
2. Akasha, decentralized social media, we've all seen that censoring is really bad, especially in countries with 3rd world regime and mentality, like russia, china, every other dictatorship, etc......

When did China and Russia become 3rd world regimes? Maybe you should add America to the list for its police state? They love to execute there citizens in the street and post it all up on social media over there in the US... not forgetting that it is also a corrupt crony capitalist dictatorship. Are you one of these deluded exceptionalists that think they are better than others?

I am not trying to defending him, but I guess what he meant is the level of censorship in those countries

And what is the level of censorship in the USA? Pretty much the same (if not higher), but in a hypocrite way. Same goes for your country, mine... the entire world is censored. People who are using the "3rd world countries" wording are often thinking that people which lives in these countries are considered less humans. This is their hypocrite way to say "Hey, I'm free to do whatever I want, unlike these people". Yeah, right...

Yeah.. the whole idea of crypto is to offer somthing different in the way of world payments, to decenteralise money control and to dump the dollar as a world reserve currency. And the first thing Ethereum do is get in bed with 45 banks in the R3 Consortium where the Federal Reserve is at the center of the network.
It would explain why the price went up only an hour or so after a bug was found in geth
I'm so glad Ethereum Classic have an anonymous Russian white hat hacker in their dev team writing geth software.
