Three competing EIPs to delay the difficulty bomb and reduce/maintain the block reward: a. EIP-858 - Delay bomb and reduce block reward to 1 ETH per block.
b. EIP-1234 - Delay bomb and reduce block reward to 2 ETH.
c. EIP-1295 - Delay bomb, keep rewards to 3 ETH, change other factors such as POW incentive structure.
Yes Sir. You may way to to increase that to 32 ETH before PoS.
Robert Bell
Not familiar with the details, what is the difficulty bomb?
Carter Roberts
Increase in block difficulty as time goes. It's mostly a social mechanism. The goal is to ensure miners don't stonewall the change to PoS once PoS is ready, as well as for the developers to signal their commitment to working on a PoS transition.
Gavin Rodriguez
why 32?
Zachary Sullivan
I have 10k ready to throw at this
Xavier Sullivan
Is it going to be effective immediately or is this not happening until Casper?
Cooper Gutierrez
Constantinople this October
Austin James
Smallest amount for staking when PoS arrives
Late October/early November when the hard fork is implemented
Adam Clark
But how delaying it will make the price go up?
Luis James
How can I benefit from PoS with 32*x ETH where x>1?
Easton Martinez
you stake your coins and receive the transaction fees when your stake is selected to build a block, the chance of which scales linearly with your stake
Austin Rogers
Usually prices start moving in advance of big announcements. Why is ETH still hovering around 278?
Robert Collins
Because it’s not some insider announcement thing literally no one knows what’s going to happen. What if they reduce the issuance and the market does absolutely nothing. Either way it’s going to be an economic experiment of quite some importance in the blockchain industry.
Adam Nelson
If it's bound to moon then why is everyone shorting it on bitmex?
I wouldn't expect moon, that's the expected decision. 1 eth would be moon, 3 eth would be drop, 5 eth would be a catastrophe
Josiah Taylor
where’s my fucking moon
Easton Lewis
fucking pussies cant even make a decision
Grayson Campbell
THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF ETH LMAO
Joshua Ortiz
Why do Ethereum faggots call EOS centralized because of its governance model when they have their own governance model, except instead of having elected delegates making decisions, it's self-appointed whales and developers? How are these things not algorithmically determined? What a shit show.
Nicholas Price
So that's it? Nothing? Fucking disappointing desu desu
Reposting my 5 year inflation calculation with issuance reduction to 2 ETH / block:
Let's say we change to 2 eth per block on October 30th (just before DevCon 4), when there should be roughly 102,500,000 ETH in existence at current mining rate. After that the issuance will be 2 ETH per 5760 blocks mined per day = 2 * 5760 * 365 = 4,204,800 ETH per year. Additionally there will be 613,901 ETH per year created in uncle rewards.
>October 30th 2018 = 102,500,000 ETH >October 30th 2019 = 107,318,701 ETH >October 30th 2020 = 112,137,402 ETH >The switch to PoS should happen in 2019 but even accounting for delays it should definitely happen by October 2020. The current best guess is 500k of ETH issued per year after PoS
>October 30th 2021 = 112,637,402 ETH >October 30th 2022 = 113,137,402 ETH >October 30th 2023 = 113,637,402 ETH >So in total over the next 5 years that would make for average ETH inflation of 2.084% per year.
Now compare that to bitcoin, with supply increasing from 17,348,400 on October 30th 2018 to estimated 19,750,000 on October 30th 2023 for an average BTC inflation of 2.627% per year over the next 5 years.
bad timing, I'm sorry. did you sell your whole stack? if you need (((fiat))) it's best to only sell part at a time.
Liam Price
Non linear increase bro. At least thats what Vitalik intends. For example for 100 ETH you get 4% p.a for 300 ETH say 2%. You can just set up multiple smaller pools ofc, but money sjkelly is surely busy thinking about neutering that as well.
Cooper Taylor
Staking reward is like 5%. Hardly exciting at 32 eth and any usd gains can be eradicated by price drops.
Christopher Allen
Network Effect, it came first and more people use it. So word of mouth makes more people use it. The more people that use it, the more valuable it is, the more valuable the more they have a vested interest in it's survival and the less they will care about competition.
Owen Williams
Huh, do you have a citation for that? I'd like to see him try, but I don't think it can work to have less than linear scaling. It would just inflate the number of validators. If you're not doing anything else with that ETH anyway, it's free money. And a safe, risk-free 5% (assuming the software has no bugs that you'd get punished for misvalidating) is pretty nice.
Michael Reed
just got here. what was the decision?
Chase Butler
you're wrong, in the current version everyone gets the same rate.
Brandon Jenkins
ctrl-f is a thing
Matthew Cook
Okay that. Did you watch it, what now? Bear or bull? I'm sitting on ETH and dunno if I should tether up or no
Luke Bennett
Links or fuck off faggot
Austin Gomez
no one cares about 5 years in crypto you utter retard.
Anthony Turner
It's from reading money skeletons' blogs. That guy answers simple question by 45 minute spergout, hard to cite him really. Though I might be not up to the latest entries like claims
It's literally dumping right now. Virtually every other coin is beating ETH, especially platform competitors like EOS. This shit is going to fucking zero and no block reward reduction can change that.
Can't scale, super overinflated, actual dick-stroking pedophile methhead as its "face" of development, etc. It's done.
William Roberts
you won't see a pump for a 2 eth per block reward, you would have seen for for 1 eth, but 2 eth is the bare minimum they could have done, and is a negative outcome for all parties.
Gabriel Russell
LOL LITERALLY TANKING
Michael Morales
lower inflation then btc ASICs forked off
Win-Win cunt
Andrew Wright
Yeah real "win win." Meanwhile it's dumping in sats and getting its ass kicked by almost every other coin.
Robert Hernandez
Op here, wow thread still alive. Actually Sirs, we remained stable in sats and increased slightly since the decision. But if we fall below 0.04 I will probably panic sell ETH and buy back at $165
