Polkadot (Web 3 foundation, Parity) is apparently creating an ethereum hard fork called dothereum (a fork like bitcoin cash split, everyone gets duplicated coins), they're going to bailout their locked multisig funds + other polkadot design changes (ewasm, on-chain governance, parachain scaling).
Scant details as of now

If true, it could lead to eth pump as people are going to want free dots. It's not going to be a shit fork, polkadot is a real contender.

what if I'm all in Chainlink
should I sell for eth and get cozy polkadot fork dots then buy back Chainlink with eth and keep the dots?
Can you use real links to real sources, please?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is unironically good news for etheruem
Everyone is going to all-in ETH for free tokens
if you don't sell links now then you will get 0 dots brainlet
what real sources? it's a rumor based on some internal happenings.
The main site
dothereum.net
has just links to twitter and reddit at the moment.
There's this tweet linked to from the reddit thread which suggests that the mod of r/dothereum is Afri.

The Afri fallout and Parity's attempt at bailout are well known. It all fits in.
This is a chance for 'buy the rumor, sell the news'. If there are no news, well, no big deal.
soc1c = Afri Schoedon
Afri rage quits on Feb 18
coindesk.com
The account that created r/dothereum soc1c was created just a day later.
9 days ago, Afri requests r/edg subreddit
reddit.com
he gets it and immediately makes soc1c a moderator
Its just going to be a worthless fork, the only people that want it are those that had their eth locked because they fucked up.
nope, it will be huge just like Bitcoin Cash
and the reason, 50%+ Ethereum nodes are Parity nodes
It could have sharding before 'official' ethereum 2.0. Polkadot calls this parachains.

If they execute it really well, I could see it winning over ethereum.
In case you don't know this guy, he is the main author of Ethereum Yellow Paper.
It will become top-3 in no time
Why are chinky scams in the first page and useful posts like this at the bottom?
What will normies do when they find out Gavin wrote most of the original Eth? And that Vitalik was the face / marketing guy?
is this good for link?
because no one is bumping
It's bad for all ERC tokens since they will dump hard
Can you imagine the roster they must've had to make Vitalik the marketing guy....
isnt link blockchain agnostic
if you mean people selling to buy eth, there's nothing that makes erc tokens special over any altcoins in this scenario.
It's especially bad for ERCs as they are only paired to ETH
that's just wrong, eg. link's main pair is btc
woud link be forked too? i dont see that happening since the network is worth something because of its potential size
i can't tell if you tards are genuinely cheering for corrupt governance or if you're just trying to push sentiment this fork will be important to drive people to buy eth
could someone clearly point out what the advantage of the fork would be?
If they fork eth, what happens to erc 20 tokens? Do they also get forked?
they dump and become worthless
I imagine a dothereum fork (if sucessful) causing a pump and dump of eth. The end result of this would be eth valued at 65% of what it should be. Users of metamask etc. Will run into a lot of problems.
>"Web3 Foundation is excited to announce Chainlink’s contribution to Polkadot. Chainlink’s open source oracle system provides smart contracts in the Web 3.0 ecosystem with decentralized oracles that will reliably connect those contracts with key off-chain resources like data feeds, APIs and various payment methods. As part of the collaboration, Chainlink plans to create an implementation for the Polkadot project, making a large amount of off-chain data feeds, various APIs, and traditional payment services available to all contracts on the Polkadot network."
right, some of you actually fell for the chainstink meme. so we're going to have a sanjay's vision situation with imbeciles unironically rooting for polkadot. oh joy
it's all just so tiring...
So if you have eth in an eth wallet you get air dropped free dots?
it's more like there'll be an alternate blockchain where entering your private key nets you the same amount of doteth as the eth you own
