So you're saying Fortune 500 companies and governments are now embracing EEA for technical charts and currency speculators. Nothing to do with the army of developers, community and the digital lego blocks Ethereum possesses.

Then why didn't the Bitcoin ETF got through?

You guys are pretty ballsy going against other countries with subsidized electricity and ASICs.

POS stands for Proof of Stake, you acquire crypto token of a blockchain and deposit them to validate blocks. You earn if you act normally, or your deposit gets slashed.

VPS is virtual private server, since network uptime is crucial. Staking on multiple pools with multisig is recommended.

Why not stack GPU and mine other crypto like ETH, you can resell the cards for gamers once you're done with it.

Yes, that's right.

You can trade the minted coins into BTC via poloniex and sell to local exchanges.

The site helps you to narrow down potential ones to mine.

Ether, Monero and Zcash seems to be the safe bet.

I'm an ETH stacker and future staker

I gradually accumulate ETH in preparation for POS by end of this year.

A hybrid POW/POS implemention is expected after Metropoils fork during July-October period.

I'm on page 250 ish on Etherscan, there's at least 6000 holders ahead of me.

Then again, we have like 2000 billionaires and 15 million millionaires today

After POS, yes current PoW miners will switch to other GPU algorithms.

Instead of using so much electricity and hardware, Ethereum will be secured by its very own coin, ETH.

It's not final yet, but here's the third draft for Casper:

We set:

BLOCK_TIME: 4 seconds (aiming on the less ambitious side to reduce overhead)
SKIP_TIME: 8 seconds (aiming on the less ambitious side to reduce overhead)
EPOCH_LENGTH: 10800 (ie. 12 hours under good circumstances)
ASYNC_DELAY: 10800 (ie. 12 hours under good circumstances)
CASPER_ADDRESS: 255
WITHDRAWAL_DELAY: 10000000, ie. 4 months
GENESIS_TIME: some future timestamp marking the start of the blockchain, say 1500000000
REWARD_COEFFICIENT: 3 / 1000000000
MIN_DEPOSIT_SIZE: 32 ether
MAX_DEPOSIT_SIZE: 131072 ether
V_LOSS_MAXGROWTH_FACTOR: 32
FINALITY_REWARD_COEFFICIENT: 0.6 / 1000000000
FINALITY_REWARD_DECAY_FACTOR: 1000 (ie. 1.1 hours under good circumstances)
MIN_BET_COEFF: 0.25
NUM_SHARDS: 80
VALIDATORS_PER_SHARD: 120

With Casper, we can finally do sharding, blockchain's Holy Grail, mass scalability will be possible.

Antpool mines with SHA256 algo, Ethereum utilizes GPUs with Ethash algo

Yes, ETH was just ETH, then DAO happened and we forked to restore the funds, ETC was the original chain, thus the name Classic. But the miners and markets have spoken, we'd stick with ETH for good.

ENS pump wasn't happening cause of bug, Raiden and the gang is coming

Melonport gets listed on Kraken today, the ICO that raised US$3 million($7 million as of current ETH price) in 5 mins



$31 is still dirt cheap

It is growing very fast. Polo ETH/USDT volume just overtook BTC.

I dunno about $1000 ETH, but $100 ETH is very much a reality in 2017 if such growth continues.

GDAX probably filled with fresh fiat deposits, now trader is arbing their way to price rationality

It's fluctuating by the dollar, $36,37,38,39 under 15 minutes. Oh my god this is happening for real.

Another interesting development is occurring in the US, sounds like they're legitimizing ICOs on Ethereum.

The bullish news keeps coming.

Another bull flag forming, I need to take a break from all this.

For context, last Sunday I was shocked we hit $23 with the banks closed. And here we are.

I'm up 800% from my first ETH back in feb last year.

Yes, it's kept safe and sound. Not selling until Casper is live.

Once ETH breaches $40, shorts will get liquidated and we'd rocket towards $50 in no time.

Let's hope that doesn't happen too soon

Edit: aaaaaand it reached $40

Guys word of caution here, this is uncharted territory

Buy at your own risk.

$4.50, so now it's a solid 900% gain within 13 months

Yup, locked into my hardware wallets.

When the time comes, I won't have to sell off my main stash, just the staking reward to pay for living expenses.

That threshold is roughly $300/ETH with 1.5% apr

Neither, I buy with fiat every Sunday

I'm in page 250 of Etherscan, top 6000 holder, for now. My rank drops by the day. Good problem to have.

Now it's around $350 SGD each week.

At $300 I'll have around RM1,500,000 worth of ETH, still not going to sell, going to keep staking and generate passive income. Sell only the interest.

I always try to temper my euphoria by only making conservative estimates. 1.5% return if all rushing to Stake, which would likely be the case, average can expect 3-5%. That means I can expect lower ETH price before I'm financially independent.

Not just EEA now, Japan is also going all out with blockchain. If you read anything related with Consensys, it's all about Ethereum.

Only thing left is China adopting it and adding ETH on all exchanges, then the rest of the planet will follow.

So far I'm only seeing Yunbi with $10,000,000 volume.

And that's it, no okcoin, no BTCC, no Huobi

Let's see how long can they remain stubborn as their competitor making bank on a daily basis.
