    Examining Ethereum 2.0: This Is Not Your Granny's Blockchain

    Any news from ETH 2.0 testnet?

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 02:51 PM PDT

    I read about the Prysmatic Labs ETH 2.0 testnet some months ago. Right now I am preparing some unused pc for ETH-testnet-fun-stuff. Just to be uptodate: Are there any news or will there be news coming? Just curious.

    Create dApps by drag & drop and share them by QR code! (& Devcon5 Pipeline workshop poll!)

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 08:24 AM PDT

    Create dApps visually with Pipeline and share them by QR code!

    Demo: https://youtu.be/Op-BSbFJUR4

    But we need help! See entire thread here: https://twitter.com/lorecirstea/status/1162745148326973440

    We wanted to release this at our Pipeline Devcon5 workshop, so people attending can go home with fun dApps created by them and share them with their friends.

    Issue: After 2.5 months of waiting, EF did not approve our grant for the ContractFinder plugin https://github.com/pipeos-one/pipeline/blob/master/docs/ContractFinder.md, so I don't have money for the trip.

    Solution: I want to see if there is enough community interest, so I am making a poll and receiving donations.

    If there are > 200 people wanting to see/attend the Pipeline workshop and donations are at least $1500 (34% of the trip cost), I will make it happen. You can send ETH or DAI here: 0x601C2bd1D1807AF1Bc4EaD9e906421445D20e0E5

    Head to https://twitter.com/lorecirstea/status/1162745157898444800 for the poll. It closes August 20th, 13:00 GMT.

    The District Weekly — August 17th, 2019

    Is ProgPOW being snuck in? There's a "proposal" of a mining algorithm change, according to Coindesk

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 12:57 AM PDT

    Here is the link by Coindesk claiming that progpow is might get pushed through without the blessing of our community.

    Kristy-Leigh Minehan a.k.a. @OhGodAGirl is an extraordinary person, she deserves praise for her support of the Ethereum network. So I say this with all due respect.

    But she cannot be allowed to hijack the governance process. She has a massive GPU farm and has been pushing progpow because it would hurt her bottom line.

    GPU miners come in droves and try to make it appear like this is a good idea. I think we need to have a conversation about it, before this is just pushed through randomly. Does this enhance scaling? No? Then why is it being pushed through?

    94.3% of Bitmain's sales came from selling hardware. They're not mining, @OhGodAGirl has a huge mining farm, and she's trying to undermine the governance process to kill the competition and fill out her bottom line. She has convinced the developers. The last holdout are the original investors. I'm more than happy with competition in the form of ASICs, that's the inevitable end point of proof-of-work. We end up at hardware level optimization, that's what happened to Bitcoin. That's what will happen to Ethereum until we switch to proof-of-stake. We don't change the protocol on account of @OhGodAGirl, we don't make major changes in order to satisfy @OhGodAGirl's mining farm.

    Here is the EIP process, being hijacked, sign up, read, and state your opinion:

    Private chains secured by ethereum public chain.

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 08:49 AM PDT

    Virtually every commercial blockchain at the moment is private, either a fork of ethereum or an in house blockchain built from the ground up. The reason for this is obvious, companies have specific needs and need a personalised custom blockchain which suits their needs. They also need to be able to add, remove or change core features whenever they want so a private chain is the obvious choice for 99.9% of businesses.

    However I'm wondering if in the future these companies will be able to put their private chains on the public chain to secure it so two or more blockchains can use the ethereum public chain as a kind of middle man?

     

    For me the biggest reason the public chain isn't getting adopted by banks and companies is because they cannot customise it for their own needs... So is the long term goal of ethereum to act like a universal blockchain bridge between all the private ethereum chains?

    Is ETH its own roadblock?

    Posted: 17 Aug 2019 02:21 AM PDT

    Okay, hear me out.

    The ETH token was the first of its kind. A prototype, if you will. It doesn't do too well with standards built on its own chain, ironically enough.

    Wrapped ETH makes this possible, but isn't it a detour? Why can't the original contract be updated to allow for seamless transaction between the different token standards on the Ethereum blockchain. Centralized exchanges are the weakest link in the whole ecosystem, but I understand why users prefer it to DEXes due to the user-friendliness and being able to use ETH directly.

    The contract would need to be updated eventually with 2.0 and while there will undoubtedly be a PoW and a PoS consensus method running side by side for a bit, it would still need to be updated eventually and allow for old tokens to be transferred or re-registered in ETH 2.0.
