    No Arguments from Dahlia Malkhi. Insights into what this is about? No sources from Coindesk.

    The only argument in this whole article is "You're giving authority to a group to call the shots. In my opinion it's giving power to people who have lots of money" Which is no different than bitcoin mining, so that argument doesn't stand.

    There are no other arguments in this article. Nor are there links to sources of what she said.

    So what the hell is up with this article? Doesn't add up to me.

    Etherpixels.co beta is live in Ropsten, looking for stress testing and feedback

    Etherpixels.co

    I have been working on a pet project for some time and I would like to get some feedback (UX, contract code, how pointless the dapp is, etc :p).

    You can buy/paint pixels in a canvas that grows on each new block mined and get your money back if someone else buys one of your pixels. This has been done already (several times), but this implementation tries to make it as comfortable and easy to use as possible.

    It's like any other collectible game in the sense that you buy something in hopes that someone will buy it back from you later, with the added value of being able to apply your creativity, agree (or not) with others to draw something meaningful.

    Keeping it short:

    • Limited pixels supply (canvas grows until 2049x2049)
    • A bunch of tools to manipulate the canvas (draw, pan, zoom, undo, redo, pick color, etc) with their corresponding shortcuts
    • You choose how much you want to pay for a pixel (from 110% to 200% of current price)
    • Free pixels price is 5k Gwei
    • You can paint up to 20 pixels per tx (lower gas fees when painting in bulk)
    • You can change colors of pixels you own without having to pay anything else than gas
    • Ability to set a nickname/signature for your address (currently off-chain to avoid having to pay for gas and storage, but using a signed message as proof of ownership of address)
    • Buying a new pixel is more expensive in terms of gas than buying a pixel already painted by someone else because of the storage fee
    • Changing colors of your pixels is very cheap (1 pixel ~27k Gwei, 20 pixels ~100k Gwei)

    Any kind of feedback is appreciated!

    Ethereum security compared to Bitcoin

    Posted: 01 Mar 2018 11:29 PM PST

    I ran some simplistic calculations I would like you to confirm or criticize.

    Lets start with Bitcoin.

    Total hashrate - 2.75 x 1019 H/s

    Antminer S9 hashrate - 1.4 x 1013 H/s

    Antminers required for 50% hashrate - ~2.0 x 106 (2 million)

    Antminer S9 retail price - 3000 USD

    Total price - ~2.0 x 106 x 3000 USD = 6 x 109 (6 billion)

    Antminer S9 power consumption - 1375W

    Total power consumption - ~2.0 x 106 x 1375W = 2.7 x 109 W (2.7 GigaWatts)

    Etherum. Since mining algorithms are different so are the hash rate magnitudes.

    Total hashrate - 2.40 x 1014 H/s

    Random GPU hashrate - 25 x 106 H/s

    GTX 1060 hashrate - 2.3 x 107 H/s

    Random GPUs required - 9.6 x 106 (9.6 million)

    GTX 1060 required - 10.4 x 106 (10.4 million)

    Random GPU retail price - 500 USD

    GTX 1060 retail price - 450 USD

    Total GPU price - 9.6 x 106 x 500 USD = 4.8 x 109 (4.8 billion)

    Total GPU price - 10.4 x 106 x 450 USD = 4.7 x 109 (4.7 billion)

    Random GPU power consumption - 200W

    GTX 1060 power consumption - 80W

    Total power consumption - 9.6 x 106 x 200W = 1.92 x 109 (1.92 GigaWatts)

    Total power consumption - 10.4 x 106 x 80W = 0.84 x 109 (0.84 GigaWatts)

    As we can see the total price and total power consumption to perform a 51% attack is pretty similar. I would conclude that the Ethereum network is just as secure as Bitcoin network. Thoughts?

    Edit: corrections by u/carlicoinisbestcoin. Attacking Bitcoin needs roughly 3.2 x more Watts and 1.25 x more USD in mining hardware.
