    Let's calmly discuss the ASIC problem

    Posted: 07 Apr 2018 04:38 AM PDT

    The arguments in the core dev meeting against a hard fork to change the PoW algorithm were these:

    • a hard fork is not without risk (this issue could cause another Ethereum Classic)
    • the increased efficiency is not world changing (something like 2.5x); Ethash is designed to be IO bound, so not much further efficiency gain can be expected
    • Ethereum will switch to PoS anyway and in the hybrid phase there possibly are ways to prevent 51% attacks from PoW miners
    • there is no obvious PoW algorithm to switch to that would not be vulnerable to ASICs

    Especially regarding the last point, concrete suggestions need to be made. Here are some:

    • change some parameters in the current PoW algorithm to break existing ASICs (there is an EIP for that); this is only a temporary fix
    • use SHA3 (or something similar) for PoW; reasoning: SHA3 is very different from Ethash and would make all previous work on ASICs useless; problem: it's only a temporary fix because SHA3 is very easy to turn into an ASIC

    ASIC resistance, 120m cap, hybrid POS, it's all about timelines. How long before we have PoS formal verification? Can it be accelerated with focus and dedicated effort?

    What's the best way describe "decentralized identity" to the world?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2018 07:22 AM PDT

    Ethereum Community... I need your help!

    Ok, so we all know blockchain is the greatest thing since sliced bread. But it's not always easy to communicate to everyday users what some of these knew crazy terms like blockchain, cryptocurrency and decentralized identity realllly mean.

    For example uPort launches an IdentityManager smart contract to the ethereum blockchain, which creates a stateful decentralized identity abstracted away from a single private key. Instead of a managing decentralized identities using only a simple public/private key-pair (which can be lost) users maintain ownership of a self-sovereign digital identity using decentralized and persistent smart contracts.

    Ok... here is where I need some help.

    What's the best term of phrase to capture the essence of the technology?

    1. Self-Sovereign Identity
    2. Digital Blockchain Identity
    3. Decentralized Identity.
    4. Web3 Identity
    5. Other

    Avoid blockchain and decentralized? Just use "Digital Identity" to keep it simple?

    Is it important to think of context for multiple languages? Does anyone have input or feedback for describing "decentralized identity" in a language other then English?

    Would love feedback and ideas from the Ethereum community! How do we frame "decentralized, self-sovereign identity on the Ethereum blockchain" so it's user friendly for a mainstream audience?

    Question about the move to PoS

    Posted: 07 Apr 2018 03:13 PM PDT

    When Ethereum moves to proof-of-stake, is there any estimation on how many separate nodes are likely to be operating as independent validators? Or is it likely that we will see 4 or 5 big staking pools dominate?

    Looks like someone is randomly giving out 7.77 VIN

    Posted: 07 Apr 2018 03:31 PM PDT

    I just checked my Ethereum wallet and I saw that someone sent me 7.77 VIN Tokens. I have no idea what VIN tokens are. When I clicked on the address who sent me them, it looks like someone has been sending 7.77 VIN tokens to a whole of addresses.

    Launching an ICO for a physical product?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2018 09:18 AM PDT

    Looking to connect with an individual about launching an ICO for a physical product. Unsure of the feasibility, or legality. However I have an interesting idea and would love to get involved with the block chain world more closely.

    Token would allow for voting rights on future releases and the ability to download a digital version online.

    Please message me if you are interested.

    Thanks!
