    Ethereum Official statement of mods requested

    Official statement of mods requested

    Posted: 13 Apr 2019 09:10 AM PDT

    A few weeks ago there was a debate about what the function of mods ought to be, this happened because people asked Afri to be removed as mod since he decided to leave the community. Also, the role of u/rzurrer as a mod was highly questionable, because of his role at Polkadot and private interactions with various people which showed his intentions are dubious. We haven't heard anything from the mods since then, it looks like nothing has been done and actually acting on the request of the majority of the r/ethereum community was avoided successfully. A few days ago some drama came up on Twitter, which brought the issue up again here. Afri took the responsibility to remove himself as a mod. u/rzurrer has only done more damage by this comment.

    ​

    Some people advocate it's not all that important and it's just twitter drama (let's focus on the important stuff). However, more people seem to disagree with that and think it's important enough to address. I personally understand that there are people who prefer to avoid conflict, however, I think avoiding this all together is more damaging. Some people have no problems playing dirty and being nice guys and friendly in every situation won't benefit Ethereum. Some things can't and shouldn't be tolerated. The mod team at r/ethtrader is doing a tremendous job, I would argue that subreddit is also harder to manage because they are less strict and more trolls participate. Yet, there are rarely issues.

    ​

    What's concerning for me is that:

    ​

    1. We haven't had any reaction from the mods towards the position of Afri or u/rzurrer. I applaud Afri's decision to remove himself, with that the issue has solved itself more or less. But what are the other mods going to do with u/rzurrer? Avoiding and ignoring the topic isn't going to solve it. It's time to take responsibility.
    2. I'm very glad u/econoar is a mod now, he's an outstanding member of the broader community and a voice of reason, with the best interest to grow and inform about Ethereum as a technology, meanwhile also stressing the importance of the economic soundness of ETH as a currency. Why hasn't there been an official statement that he has been added as a mod though? FYI, it doesn't mean u/econoar is added, u/rzurrer shouldn't be removed.

    ​

    TL;DR can we have more transparency from the mods? (Also, there has been a lot of complaints about posts not showing up, would be nice to have mods helping improve the subreddit, automod, welcoming message).

    Ethereum Core Devs Meeting 59 Notes

    What do I need to stake ETH? (For dummies)

    Posted: 13 Apr 2019 07:53 PM PDT

    Hello guys, this topic is to ask to those of you more used to setup safe nodes and servers what would an ETH staker need to setup a safe validation node being also able to navigate online without risking horrible external attacks.

    Assuming the staker already has:

    -A decent PC

    -32 ETH

    -An internet connection

    Should the node be protected from DDoS attacks with services like cloudflare? Are there simple and effective alternatives?

    Should he/she consider using a VPN or a proxy for extra safety? Which kind of proxy would be best?

    Should he/she consider buying external hardware designed to avoid casting bad votes? Would a device like this seriously reduce the risk of being slashed? (This is a specific reference to a project I saw months ago but I don't remember the name)

    Order of transactions?

    Posted: 13 Apr 2019 11:00 AM PDT

    Is there a guarantee to the order in which transactions are applied/computed within a given block?

    I believe that if a single Ethereum account transmits two transactions that are both mined into the same block, there is a defined order. The transaction with the lowest nonce would be applied first, right?

    My main question is whether there is a similar guarantee if two different Ethereum accounts/users each transmit a transaction, and they interact with the same smart contract.

    Say there's a jackpot contract that collects ether for a given amount of time, and then after a certain block height users can call claim() to withdraw the entire balance of the contract. The first user to call claim() gets the entire balance, and any subsequent calls will yield 0 ether. Alice and Bob each submit a call to claim(). Alice submits her transaction 5 seconds before Bob, and both transactions are mined into the same block.

    Will Alice get the jackpot because her transaction was seen on the network first? Or is it basically random or up to the miner?

    It was only 2 dollars that I redeemed. I use mostly coinomi but also ethos and bitpay. My question is when I copy and pasted the address I started to realize the address had capital letters. I'm assuming all the times I sent the address to my email on my desktop it turned it into lowercase which

    Posted: 13 Apr 2019 02:58 PM PDT

    Worked out because I got all my payments but if I changed it to the original capital letters for the coinomi address am I out 2 dollars? Basically should I always just leave it the way it is when it pastes it? ( all lowercase )

    Cereneum, A New Interest-Bearing Token On Ethereum.

    Posted: 13 Apr 2019 05:40 PM PDT

    Cereneum is a brand new concept in cryptocurrency: a time-based interest-bearing Cryptographic Certificate of Interest (CCOI) on the Blockchain. Airdrops are given based on five of the most popular PoW cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Ethereum, and Litecoin. Earn interest by staking your Cereneum for set periods of time.

    The rate of interest you earn is based on how long you stake your Cereneum as well as the amount of the stake. Cereneum uses Pooled Interest, which means interest paid to stakers is higher when less tokens are staked. Stake periods can vary from one week to as long as five years, with the interest rising with the length of the stake. The more Cereneum that is staked the lower the supply available on the market, which can mean higher prices.

    Unclaimed tokens are redistributed daily to stakers during the course of the year-long claiming period, greatly increasing their holdings.

    Early unstakers are penalized, with those penalties distributed among current stakers. Additionally, there are bonuses available to those that utilize the referral program.

    Which ERC is the best? And why?

    Posted: 13 Apr 2019 03:39 PM PDT

    Virgil Griffith (Special Projects Lead at the Ethereum Foundation) on Twitter: "It seems entirely reasonable for people working predominantly on non-ETH work to not be a mod on r/ethereum. In fact, I'd even recommend it." Words of wisdom for Ryan Zurrer.

    With all this talk of transparency - what is the actual “duty” and/or directive of leadership?

    Posted: 13 Apr 2019 10:11 AM PDT

    I still feel like this question has never been adequately answered.

    For the CEO/board of a public company - they have a fiduciary duty to take actions that benefit shareholders, not society at large. It is literally illegal for them to place public good ahead of shareholder benefit.

    For an elected public official, their duty is to uphold the law, place public good over private gain, spend taxpayer money appropriately etc.

    For the EF, core devs it's...what exactly? Is their directive to promote price appreciation of ETH? To promote and improve the functionality of the Ethereum ecosystem? What about when these things come into conflict? For instance if there was a technical change that would simultaneously improve Ethereum functionality while reducing the price of ETH - if Ethereum was a public company that would be a clear violation of their fiduciary duty to shareholders.

    I've asked this question multiple times in AMAs and never ever gotten a response from any of the attending leadership. "Investors" seem to believe their directive is to promote the price of ETH, developers and users seem to think functionality is more important, and no one seems to care what miners think. But I think it's really troubling that Ethereum leadership can't clearly answer this question when there is clarity on this from virtually every other large private and public organization.

    An answer to this question is long overdue.
