Sadly i'm not into Bitcoin maybe my bro will since he is a tech engr, i prefer to be aqua-farmer, my target to feed the masses .. if you ask me, where i live, i can build myself a small hydro power plant and mine bit coin. Will that reduce the cost ? cause i saw people selling device just to mine bit coin and it just takes GPU to mine bit coin the "how to do Bit mine" is all over the web. The main thing for it is POWER.. Self Made Hydro power is free. you can just diligently do a daily/weekly/monthly purchase and ride the pump. $1145! But in the end.. human will always need to eat until they depart the world. |

China's influence is unmatched, I can't wait to get off Mr. Yuan's wild ride.
Ethereum needs to decouple from this nonsense. Status and other promising dapps can't get off alpha soon enough. [attachmentid=8364423] |

Better to just watch from one side to be honest, Chinese here Chinese there and the price plummets, dragging other potential projects along with it. I'd rather wait for Status beta and personally show you the true potential of such tech. Or you could try out the buggy yet game changing alpha release on Android devices, be mindful it's testnet Ether, no value whatsoever. We are looking at poverty eradication and other mindblowing possibilities. Within this year I hope. This post has been edited by WooTz: Jan 7 2017, 12:16 PM |

Bitcoin can only dream of getting that far in 8 years, let alone within Ethereum's 17 months of existence. You can figure out the rest. I hate seeing bagholders when the tide turns. |

They are expected to enable excluded people (BILLIONS) to enter the global economy, enable the protection of privacy and people to "monetize their own information", and provide the capability to ensure creators are compensated for their intellectual property. Second-generation blockchain technology makes it possible to store an individual's "persistent digital ID and persona" and are providing an avenue to help solve the problem of social inequality by "[potentially changing] the way wealth is distributed." uport integration with Status does exactly that, and it's coming fast.

We'd transition into PoS in late 2017 at around 50-80% chance, provided that all goes well in testnet. The supply would be at 100M mark, having 10-20% of its supply staked, and issuing only 0.8% new ETH a year, generating 6-9% for stakers. We even have plans to burn the fees, so there's that. ETH will have its own store of value. Any questions? |

Any questions? let me try explain what i understand eth and let k/ here decide (inb4 fiat-people will think cryptos are delusional, let them be): bicycle vs space shuttle. pple just know btc and blockchain yesterday and you want them to think how valuable space shuttle is, that has little to no effect on their life? i'll take bicycle any day to go work instead of interplanetary space shuttle. at least in my lifetime. i dont have to spend time to learn how to ride a bike. whereby space shuttle has extremely steep learning curve. do you have other analogy? Fortune 500, so it's backed by wealthiest 1% and you think its a good thing? im more skeptical to eth then. more likely that world government and banks are backing it. so there will be more eth every year, so its inflationary. means for sure theres a wealth reduction. ETH devs can 'mint' new eth and willing to burn (read: subsidise) the fees? just like real life gas/petrol right? subsidise for the good of people. issuing only 0.8? how can you make sure of it? for all i care gov/ETH devs can manipulate and then you say theres an emergency printing (read: QE). higher percentage ->volatility -> what youre looking at now on bitcoin price. so you 'tax' current eth owners by issuing new minted eth thus reducing overall wealth of the community. yea right.. im trying to avoid that irl fiat system.

Bicycle and space shuttle is simply comparing speed. It's very fitting to describe the difference of each block times and throughput. Bitcoin is laughably slow in 2017. Fortune 500 always look to optimize business cost, maximize profits, and expand. they are the ones who can truly bring such crypto tech to the masses and gain legitimacy. They already have their loyal customers, all they need to do is show them the benefits of switching, more feature, less fees, faster and safer service. you do realize any major protocol alteration like economic issuance and incentive requires voting and large consensus right? Like this one, EIP 186. If supply is up 0.8% and staking rewards is 4% means what? you lose money? what is bank FD is doing for fiat money again? how is this tax? If you don't like to stake, don't like to hold on to ETH can easily swap for other deflationary tokens. The choice is always there, no one is forcing you to hold inflating ETH, which is better than fiat by then. This isn't any random central banks meetup and straight away set interest rates and QE, we the community dictates that. I'll leave you with this video, maybe machine to machine revolution can convince you where we're headed. This post has been edited by WooTz: Jan 7 2017, 09:27 PM |

If supply is up 0.8% and staking rewards is 4% means what? you lose money? no. but who are you to dictate what % is my earning/gains? so if i hold 100ETH today it'll have return 3.2ETH next year right? then i dont have to work anymore. I alrdy got my stake rewards a.k.a. foodstamp/BR1M from ETH Bitcoin is laughably slow is an understatement. i'll try to picture 2 kinds of startups. Bitcoin seems to have slow but sure and organic growth over long term, already affecting other people's life over 8 years. whereas ETH is just like usual startup nowadays, trying to capitalise an idea. presenting growth that only come from its own community (miners/dapps), which is not necessarily bad, but more and more become like what government is doing right now. thanks for the video. got any other video beside the concept of TouchnGo? Im fine with current TnG system, and same excitement for Uber self-driving car. |

QUOTE(Strike @ Jan 12 2017, 05:18 PM) Major banks and Microsoft are acknowledging the number 2 crypto, Ethereum. All very quiet developing dapps and other smaller ones have started to release promising alphas.We are seriously getting close towards a price explosion by the end of 2017. 5x-10x are to be expected, 100x with ETF. It's time to get off Chinacoin's wild ride. This post has been edited by WooTz: Jan 12 2017, 06:22 PM |

QUOTE(wodenus @ Jan 12 2017, 09:25 PM) Have to ask Xi Jinping, whether he wants to crush Huobi, OkCasino and BTCC. By slapping megatons of regulation.I like how "decentralized" Bitcoin is, China play play a bit and boom down 35% worldwide. How can they expect the world to take them seriously? 8 years old and THIS is how we use blockchain? This post has been edited by WooTz: Jan 12 2017, 09:47 PM |
