    How does EIP 1559 impact Gas issues?

    Noob gets rekt by ETH gas fees

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 12:02 AM PDT

    So lately like most people I've been hearing a shit ton about NFTs. Being the curious soul that I am I decided to check them out. After doing some research I figured it was something worth my time. Being somewhat of an artist myself (Totally kidding btw), I thought it would be fun to make some, so I did.

    Now fast forward a few days to when it's time to mint my Picasso esque MS Paint drawings. I go to mint them and it says 15 dollars, in my head I'm like "ok this started off as a joke, but now it's a $15 dollar joke, pretty expensive joke but fuck it." After paying the $15 to get it approved by Rarible, I was encountered by another fee, this time a fee for minting my tokens.

    Oh no no no PepeLaugh (iykyk)

    50 fucking $$$$!!! Being the broke college student that I am, I was like no shot I'm paying this. So I decided to be a smarty pants and put a custom gas fee. I made it the lowest gas fee possible, $15. Now my $15 joke is a $30 joke and I'm not finding it as funny anymore. But the story doesn't end there.

    PepeLaugh

    Fast forward like a week later, the transaction still hasn't gone through. At this point I'm gassed (pun intended), I say screw it, I'll pay the $50 just to get this over with. And that's what I did, but guess what, I chose to speed up the transaction that had already failed. I SPENT $50 on an already failed transaction. Instead of being a cheap fuck, I should've paid the first time instead of messing it up on the second.

    Lesson here is don't mess with ETH and these gas fees man, they ain't no joke.

    Capping the number of actively attesting validators

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 02:05 PM PDT

    One of the annoyances of the beacon chain protocol is that the difficulty of verifying blocks to keep up with the chain potentially varies widely. Currently, there are ~100,000 validators, but theoretically the number can go anywhere up to ~4 million. This is unfortunate, because the possibility of the validator count going that high means that client devs have to work harder to make their clients able to handle that amount and node operators have to make sure their hardware can handle it, but that extra computation capability never actually gets used in practice.

    There have recently been some proposals to mitigate this problem, and they tend to have to do with the idea of implementing a cap on the number of active validators (proposed numbers for the cap have been `2**19` validators ~= 16.7M ETH and `2**20` validators ~= 33.5M ETH staking). If there are more active validators than the cap, some of the validators are randomly probabilistically "slept" for a short period of time (eg. a few hours to a few days). Asleep validators get no rewards, but they also have no responsibilities and can even go offline for that duration. Theoretically, it's even safe to give the opportunity for asleep validators to withdraw more quickly if they choose to exit.

    Here's a concrete proposal: https://ethresear.ch/t/simplified-active-validator-cap-and-rotation-proposal/9022

    Implementing something like this will reduce the load of verifying the beacon chain, making it easier for both validators and non-validators to run a node, and it will also make decentralized staking pools more viable because it will be more practical for each decentralized staking pool participant to run a node.

    Layer 2 DEXs

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 06:01 PM PDT

    Hi, so I'm new to crypto. I managed to create a metamask wallet and have been using uniswap. I can't afford the gas fees anymore, and have heard about layer 2 solutions. Are layer 2s a type of exchange like uniswap? What are some good layer 2 projects to try using, instead of uniswap? Thanks

    As an ETH hodler, how do you feel about inflation?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 10:18 AM PDT

    I've just read about Ethereum inflation, and I'm concerned about its price growth. Basically, newly minted ETH takes away the value of my holdings. Is there a reason to inflate it though?

    An updated roadmap for Stateless Ethereum - Eth1.x Research

    Posted: 29 Mar 2021 10:17 PM PDT

    A reminder to newcomers: be sure to check out the sister subreddits as well!

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:21 AM PDT

    Hey! I hope I'm not breaking any rules with this post. Mods feel free to remove if I am.

    I thought it would be nice to have a reminder for newcomers: be sure to check out the sister subreddits of /r/ethereum in the sidebar! A lot of activity and discussion is happening in places such as the /r/ethfinance daily thread that you'll be missing out on if you don't.

    I know this is a bit redundant since we have the sidebar, but I have a feeling that many people don't read that at all.

    How long does using 'save low' gas fees take

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:31 PM PDT

    I looked on https://www.etherchain.org/tools/gasPriceOracleEth that's sourced from EthGasStation and sent a transaction using the 'save low' price of 9 GWei that said would take <30 minutes to go through. I only did it because I thought the price was just low and would go back up soon. I only sent about 0.015 eth so it doesn't suck too much if I lose it. Is it completely hopeless it will get picked up and it was just like a glitch in eth gas station or will it just take a very long time to go through?

    Staking ETH guidance

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:06 PM PDT

    Can you guys please share the best methods to stake ETH? I've seen on kraken that you can stake but they'll be locked till 2.0 is out. Is that the case for other platforms? What's the minimum amount to stake. Last I heard it was 32 ETH ? Any help would be appreciated

    Is there a way to sync to get the latest balance?

    My friend used a Mist wallet with several addresses linked to one wallet. He has an old backup but since it is not updated, the balance only shows from 1 address.

    Is 14% the cost to participate?

    Posted: 30 Mar 2021 11:10 AM PDT

    Made my first ETH purchase on 3/27. Used My Ethereum Wallet (MEW)to buy $100 of ETH. Simplex receipt shows 0.048ETH purchase was complete 7:30pm for a value of $81.79, transaction fee of $3.97. Bank transaction for $100 complete. Can anyone help me understand where $14.24 went?

    Is 14% the cost to participate? Did I choose the wrong wallet? Is there a better way to buy? Please help me understand or point me in the right direction. Thankful for any guidance and advice.
