I really like Ethereum and when someone asks, I always explain the „blockchain-possibilities" with Ethereum, not BTC. While recommending ETH I always send some ETH(fractions) to some guys for showing „how simple it is". Today I was shocked to see a 5 USDish fee inside my Blockchain app - just for sending to a simple address.

My question: What do you expect: when will wallet apps make use of „2nd layers" to transfer ETH with more speed/much lower fees? I heard of so many 2nd layer solutions - but it seems that noone uses it. Just curious.

What is the "difficulty bomb"?

Posted: 10 Sep 2020 07:03 PM PDT

As I understand its suppose to make it impossible to mine in the future to prevent forks when changing to PoS, as to not get in to a BTC vs BCH hissy fit, but how does this work with the difficulty adjustment? Is the difficulty adjustment becoming dynamic to make the last blocks time infinite or how do they work together? Why is it not possible to just remove the difficulty bomb if someone wanted to keep PoW?

Ps is there a "ethereum beginners" sub like bitcoin beginners?

Harness the POWER OF EVENTS! (The kind in the logs, not the parties)

Posted: 10 Sep 2020 01:45 AM PDT

Anyone who's coded a bit of Solidity knows about events. How do you get the data emitted by events, though? Finding guides to catch real-time data using on aren't so hard to find, but how do you find historical event data?

This is a link to long guide that goes from the ground up on Events and Logs in Solidity, including code (in Ethers) for scraping past events, and even a PoC for pagination.

Home Validator Hardware: the M1T

Posted: 10 Sep 2020 01:20 PM PDT

I've been looking for an opportunity to dive into being a medalla validator and saw some new super cheap all-in-one hardware come out of AliExpress recently, the one that caught my attention was this tiny guy based around a celeron N4100, which some sellers have labeled as model M1T:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001282716642.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.49c04c4dtrex5z

It took a few weeks to arrive and then a few more to find the time to commit to working on it, but happy to say that it's all set up and I'm about 4 days away from being activated on medalla.

Basic steps:

Fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04 (comes with Windows and probably malware)
Format drives correctly, setup wifi (there's no ethernet, wifi on linux was a hassle but came out OK in the end)
Installed lighthouse beacon + validator, Rust compilation took an hour or so but runs fine

I don't yet know if actually participating in consensus is meaningfully more computationally expensive than *waiting* for activation but at this point it's consuming less than 10% CPU at all times, so I could potentially fit a handful of validators if that holds.

Next steps:

Prometheus + Grafana for monitoring and alerting
Figure out how many validators can comfortably run on it

I'll follow up when I'm actually validating but so far this is a <$200 solution to running a validator at home that doesn't require you keeping your desktop PC on constantly.
