we're fully expecting massive DoS attacks soon after the fork to disrupt the transition, since the exploit is known now.

running a node help miners to propagate the blocks across the globe. Can't do that if half of all clients get DDoS'd to death 

it's a voluntary effort to help support the network

best benefits would be a stable if not higher price for ETH 

I recommend going for parity

https://github.com/paritytech/parity/releases

just download the installparity.exe and run 

don't need to bother about setting up wallets, just running it would be beneficial

now 14 out of 20 peers runs exploit-free nodes!

50 minutes to fork! good bye homestead!

if you click on the cellphone signal icon on the top left, you can see the status of your node

if it displays "Chain Synchronized (yes)" it means you've fully synced to the last block

give it a couple of hours to sync up, mostly depends on the HDD or SSD though

top left, you interact the node via your browser

also we hard forked to Byzantium without a hitch, hello 3 ETH and 17 second blocks 

I think must use browser for parity.

if browser suck too much RAM can try running geth instead.

as of today, ETH becomes more scarce because the miner block reward has been reduced to 3 ETH from 5 ETH per block, in exchange the difficulty bomb gets delayed another year to allow block times to be consistent at 17~ seconds.

henceforth the price of ETH has found itself a steady floor for the short term 

Part of the Byzantium release is to reduce block rewards from 5 ethers to 3 ethers.

time to say goodbye to bittrex?

dear all sifus, may i know if Coinhako now can transfer fiat to local bank? I have Coinhako acc link with Sg bank, but now it cant make transfer to Sg bank anymore, i wonder what to do if i wanna transfer my BTC to fiat back.

I had tried to transfer PAY to ETH address b4 and it works. So do monaco & tokenkard. i guess almost all erc20 coins are supported by MEW.
https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-b...therwallet.html
Ledger nano S works as private key and u manage ur coins using MEW as a front end
https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-b...and-tokens.html

Should I keep my ETH / Tokens on Single or Multiple Addresses?

MyEtherWallet is just a front end. Any Ethereum address can "receive" Ethereum-based tokens ("ERC-20" tokens).

MEW enables you (through a front end) to send tokens / coins from your address, view your token balance, etc. It has no bearing on your address's ability to receive tokens.

Whether you store all your ETH and tokens in the same address is up to you. Some people prefer to have different wallets. Some people have a smaller "hot" wallet that is kept on their computer with small amounts of the coins they hold while keeping a majority of their funds in a cold-storage wallet.

The only thing to keep in mind is that in order to send tokens you must also have a small amount (<0.1 ETH) in your account to cover the cost of gas. For this reason, it can be quite inefficient and frustrating to have all your tokens in different addresses.

At the end of the day, it's up to you though.

Which exchange do you recommend?

Yes, since PAY is an ERC20-type token, it can be sent to an ETH address.
There is only ONE private key in your hardware wallet (mathematically derived from your 24-word recovery phrase), and it unlocks all the ETH addresses associated with that private key.

You can store all your various ERC20 tokens in the same ETH address, so for example, you can store ETH, PAY, OMG, BNB, HMQ, REP, etc......all inside one single address.
Of course, you can also split them all into separate addresses if you want.
Just remember to always have a little bit of ETH in every one of those addresses, otherwise you won't be able to send your altcoins out later (due to no gas availability).

The "default" address that you see in the Ledger Nano S for ETH is likely the first ETH address that you see when you open it via MEW, but you can practically open up an unlimited number of ETH addresses using the same private key.

To see all the Ethereum tokens, just go to coinmarketcap's tokens page, and filter according to "platform".

why keep for a year ?

jack2. did u withdraw your BTC from BITTREX ?

How long did it take u to receive them and is the network crowded ?

Boss I have a question since I haven't received my any funds in Luno yet. If I transfer funds to my luno wallet, How much would luno charge

Thanks boss, just read an article about Bittrex and kind of worrying lol

Don't know but to be safe, I've just withdrew some of my BTC to Luno and my hardware wallet

Yeah Bitrex charges 0.001 but I guess we can't help it right ?

So just INCASE Bittrex turns shit, which other exchange would u be using especially to buy Altcoins (except poloneix)?

Woah......what are you waiting for?
Buy Buy Buy......
