    Criticisms of Ethereum from someone who works in the Ethereum Ecosystem

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 06:08 AM PST

    After reading Tuur's criticisms here and discussion about it here i decided to write my own list of criticisms.

    1) In 2017, during the height of the ICO mania, many prominent voices in Ethereum were not vociferously outspoken against the hysteria that occurred, and their unwillingness to do so likely lead to the increased prominence of scams/malicious entities operating in or around the space.

    2) The Ethereum Foundation and most other teams working on scaling solutions have done a terrible job of creating educational material or funding people/orgs to create educational material meant for laypersons.

    3) The time-table of research/development of core scaling solutions has been, and continues to be, unclear. I understand that research is still being conducted, but it's not hard to keep a road-map updated.

    4) Apathy on topics (especially related to new ETH issuance and the new presence of ASIC miners) by those with influence has led to the loudest voices being the most-visible in conversations/discussions, which discourages constructive discussion.

    5) Large organizations operating in the space have been negligent in helping with the adoption of technologies operating on top of Ethereum (namely ENS).

    6) The cost of operating a full node on Ethereum is something that is being overlooked. This is being worked on through research into state rent and client improvements. This needs to be a bigger priority though.

    7) Projects operating in Ethereum have done a poor job of internationalizing software and funding distribution to areas where it could be useful to people that need it. This doesn't extend to all projects, but as a whole we've done a poor job of this.

    8) A fixation on wealth generation has led to centralization of funds which could have been better-deployed to early-stage startups, or public infrastructure/tools.

    9) Most projects operating on Ethereum with the goal of becoming a business have neglected making a self-sustaining business model, resulting in orgs that require perpetual grants.

    10) Most projects seem to have written off a usable-UX in favor of complaining about how decentralization is hard.

    11) The average person with interests in cryptocurrency is too focused on the increase of their own wealth. This is not what this technology is for.

    What are your constructive criticisms of Ethereum/the Ethereum Ecosystem at this point?

    Hey everyone, I'm working on a podcast dapp, currently I'm focusing heavy on validation to make sure people want this before I build it. I personally think it's a great use case, and I'm getting great feedback from podcast owners. Now I need to know what podcast listeners think. Please read the article, clap, share, and most of all join the Telegram group if you want to see this project come to fruition. I won't start the MVP until 100 people join to ensure some kind of initial demand and community. Thanks!

    Do ERC721 tokens get saved to wallets? Or do they reside only on the Ethereum network?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2018 02:08 PM PST

    I've been trying to find the answer to this, but I can't. I'm trying to understand how the ownership part of the token works. Do people have wallets that hold a bunch of ERC721 tokens in them? Or are the references from unique tokens to the wallet address just saved on the Ethereum network, and ownership is verifiable that way.

    A lot of new features are coming to the ERC-721 ecosystem in 2019
