Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain with smart contract functionality. Ether is the native cryptocurrency of the platform. Amongst cryptocurrencies, Ether is second only to Bitcoin in market capitalization. Ethereum was conceived in 2013 by programmer Vitalik Buterin.

- There are some major universities using ETH based DAOs to help teach Web3 development for students And I mean MAJOR. I’m talking universities like MIT, Harvard, Oxford and many more working with ETH based organizations like Bitdao to help students become Web3 builders. Well technically they’re working with Edudao but its all funded by Bitdao apparently which just so happens to be built on ETH. This is major news for ETH considering how much exposure this could end up giving for crypto and blockchain. Yeah these universities aren’t really accessible to the most of us, but if this works out then I don’t see why other more mainstream universities wouldn’t start implementing something similar. Imagine how much of a push this would give for mainstream adoption. These students are the up and coming working class and leaders of the world in a couple of decades. With them being exposed to blockchain at such a young age, the possibility of them implementing that tech into our everyday life, and taking advantage of its perks, would increase drastically. This way ETH would technically be considered one of the pioneers since it’s enabled the building of projects that are funding these activities in a decentralized non-hierarchical manner, something that many universities could benefit from if you ask me.

joeyp978- ETH fees could be trimmed by a hundred percent as an EIP 4844 upgrade is considered for inclusion Have you heard about the most anticipated upgrade to the ETH blockchain since the Merge activation on mainnet called EIP 4844 or Proto-danksharding? It's interesting because it is part of ETH's rollup-centric scaling roadmap, so many people started discussing how will this affect the price of gas fees, which is actually told that it would be pretty reduced thanks to this upgrade. We already are using L2 protocols for these issues. Which one do you use, and which is most helpful/suitable for you? I started with Polygon, but Metis suits me way more. What consequences can this upgrade have on L2 protocols? It actually reconsiders the data logistics on ETH's second-layer scaling solutions with roll-ups to make its usage 10-100x cheaper. Also, as it streamlines data processes, the implementation of Proto-danksharding is set to advance the throughput of the ETH mainnet. The exact timeline of EIP 4844 implementation is not known for now. Do you think it will actually occur?

the_phallus_of_joy- Solo staking After setting up your own node and following security best practices: What could possibly happen to your stake in case your node gets owned? Is there any way to change the address rewards are being sent to? Could an attacker modify the node to the effect that you‘re getting slashed until your stake is gone? Once withdrawals will be enabled, could an attacker withdraw to their own address?

dirtyhandsome- 2024 Halving ETH grossly outperformed BTC during 2020-2021 time frame. Assuming things will push forward with each phase of the upgrades without too many setbacks (unlikely I know) and ETH now being deflationary, do you believe that positions ETH to be a front runner in the next bull run? Obviously no one knows, just curious your opinions. Personally, I'm feeling like dumping BTC for a bigger ETH bag could fair well 2024-2025.

Ritopl3s- He says “ETH is a Surveillance Machine.” Wait a second, let me get my helmet on. Ok, GO! https://odysee.com/@TraderUniversity:a/ethereum-surveillance-machine:2 "In this video, I discuss how ETH continues to betray cypherpunk ideals around freedom and privacy, including the latest ConsenSys policy change that now allows Infura nodes to log users' IP addresses and connect them with ETH addresses whenever they make a transaction using Metamask. In addition, ETH validators continue to actively enforce US government OFAC censorship with 75-80% of blocks. This is what happens when running your own node is not part of your crypto's culture-- you end up outsourcing all privacy to large corporations like ConsenSys. The dumpster fire that is ETH continues to burn brighter and brighter. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

abx337- Torrents for Non-Fungible Token? Or better put decentralised storage? Maybe I'm being a total noob here but what's wrong with using torrents as decentralised storage? Can we not build a chain like IPFS using existing torrent tech. Have nodes as servers which stores torrent files as act as archive. Popular files are already stored on various small sized user nodes. Build tokenomics on top of that. Obviously not the whole current network but specified not "illegal" stuff. Please point out how much wrong I am here. I am trying to learn.

Accomplished_Funny48- Supply and demand Hi everyone I am wondering what is your interpretation of how Cryptos like ETH, BTC and a Layer two like Loopring behave by supply and demand in contrast to the actual stock market? Until now I have the feeling the whole crypto space is as much or even more manipulated than the stock market. I really wish there was a way to have a crypto currency which can't be as easily manipultated by big whales. Somehow supply & demand seems to be broken in the stock market, best example is the gamestop stock where they can infinitely create synthetics and short the stock down. Does this apply to cryptos as well? Does anyone know how they manage to artificially increase the supply and lower the prices? Do they have the same manipulation power than in the classic stock market? Do you know of a project that could actually resolve this issue? Would love to hear some thoughts from you! Cheeeers

GameTec_live-offical- [Flashbots] How should MEV Searchers find the correct amount to pay block proposers? When submitting an MEV bundle (e.g. for arbitrage) a Searcher will pick an amount to pay the block proposer instead of a gas price. This is usually a portion if the profits, such as 80%+. Searchers might pass it in as an argument to their proxy contract, then transfer directly to the miner such as with [simple-arbitrage](https://github.com/flashbots/simple-arbitrage/blob/03cf1058b5bd8079561e2505efc85f77e357b829/contracts/BundleExecutor.sol#L55). As I understand it, this ends up being a [First-Price Sealed Bid Auction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-price_sealed-bid_auction). I'm trying to grasp how Searchers deal with this kind of problem. Like what kind of best practices would exist to ensure you're not sending a non-competitive amount OR overpaying significantly. You can't simulate this sort of thing since it is dependant on the other actors (MEV searchers also bidding), right? Do you just keep retrying the bundle submission, live? Or do you just have to look the the last block, determine what the "going rate" seems to be, and make an educated guess at what portion of your profits to pay the block proposer?

garybaws- Blockchains have the potential to provide significant benefits and innovation Distributed ledger - blockchains are a new technology that has piqued the interest of energy companies, startups, technology developers, financial institutions, national governments, and academics. I've heard and read a lot about how many experts in these fields believe blockchains have the potential to provide significant benefits and innovation. Power systems are rapidly evolving to accommodate growing amounts of embedded renewable generation, such as wind and solar PV. Renewable energy sources have grown dramatically in recent years as a result of energy sector privatization and unbundling, as well as financial incentives and energy policy initiatives. Do you believe Elan tokens and other similar technologies could aid in the resolution of energy supply issues? As far as I know, this type of project is donating sustainable energy to those in need without charging exorbitant fees. There are numerous examples of how these tokens benefit the environment, which is a worthy goal. Also, there are projects aimed at a more environmentally friendly future. Finding low-energy cryptocurrency options can help green-conscious investors save energy and protect the environment in this way. Could technological advancements such as blockchain and tokenization benefit the environment?

Finley_dz- Thanks to Non-Fungible Tokens, we may be able to create a world in which every asset or good is an Non-Fungible Token, making it unique, protected, and valued Non-Fungible Token appears to be one of the most popular buzzwords these days, but while most people have heard of Non-Fungible Tokens, many do not fully comprehend them. I love how Non-Fungible Tokens have evolved; they are no longer just a work of art. Their contribution is now critical. One of the most typical uses of Non-Fungible Tokens is in the arts, and as a result, they have progressed beyond digital paintings and photos. But I mostly use them in gaming, whether it was at the start of Axie Infinity or now while playing WAM tournaments; I definitely learned about them through games. Non-Fungible Tokens can also be used for charitable purposes, such as raffling off an Non-Fungible Token artwork or other asset by a celebrity or brand. The proceeds are then donated to a deserving charity. Because Non-Fungible Tokens can represent almost anything, their applications are virtually limitless. People are only now realizing the true potential of Non-Fungible Tokens, and we can expect to see a wide range of innovative and fantastic applications. Non-Fungible Tokens are even becoming one of the primary asset technologies in a variety of metaverses. This makes them critical for the internet's future, Web3. What do you find most appealing about Non-Fungible Tokens? Thanks to Non-Fungible Tokens, we may be able to create a world in which every asset or good is an Non-Fungible Token, making it unique, protected, and valued. The future of Non-Fungible Tokens looks promising. What are your thoughts? What is the outlook for Non-Fungible Tokens?

Olmops- Will Non-Fungible Tokens become increasingly important in the future? The weekly volume of the Non-Fungible Token market has nearly surpassed that of the beginning of the year. The number of active Non-Fungible Token buyers and sellers has also risen steadily, from 60,000 in the first quarter of 2021 to approximately a million in the first quarter of 2022. Many believe that Non-Fungible Tokens have the potential to revolutionize virtually every aspect of our lives, which is not surprising given that many people began working with Non-Fungible Tokens on a regular basis because many of these Non-Fungible Tokens do provide valuable items and benefits. Furthermore, I've read about it and heard about so many fantastic platforms and projects that use it that the entire concept appears extremely feasible, especially since Non-Fungible Tokens are beginning to be integrated into almost everything we use. What most astounded me was the actual purpose of Non-Fungible Tokens and blockchain for environmental causes, such as providing clean, renewable energy. I've recently learned about a couple of fantastic projects. Elan Future's mission is to decentralize how the world generates, stores, transfers and consumes energy in this manner. Power can be sent to anyone, anywhere, in seconds using a blockchain-based system, allowing for a direct and seamless energy transfer without middlemen, fees, or restrictions. Do you think the popularity of Non-Fungible Tokens for these purposes will continue to grow? Each of these amazing projects can provide people with real-world benefits; people realize that Non-Fungible Tokens are no longer just pictures; they now serve a purpose, and I have no doubt that we will begin to use them sooner or later. What do you think, will Non-Fungible Tokens become increasingly important in the future?

twix41- Recovering coins from mist Back in 2017-2018 I was mining ether to a software wallet called MIST. I stopped mining for various reasons after getting about 5 eth. Last year I tried accessing my wallet but Mist wouldn't connect to the Blockchain because the software is apparently no longer supported. I'm not sure if the key that I used with the mist wallet was specific for that software (in which case the chances I will be able to access these coins is slim) or if it is the same key I need to access my coins directly on the blockchain. Not sure where to get started any advice appreciated

luchins- Are we facing the most brazen fraud ever committed? The last few weeks have been among the craziest in the history of the cryptocurrency markets. The once-reliable exchange FTX (and all FTX-affiliated companies), led by founder Sam Bankman-Fried, has declared bankruptcy after the exchange was found to be insolvent. I am aware that unfortunately, crypto exchanges fail on a regular basis, but the scale of fraud and mismanagement with FTX is unprecedented. But these recent events have caused many in traditional finance to lose faith in crypto's future, put tremendous downward pressure on crypto prices, and prompted many to call for additional regulation in the crypto markets. Which crypto you're holding? How did you handle the situation, and did you experience serious consequences with the crypto you hold? I'm troubled with ETH, I dunno what to expect next, I only hope that gas fees won't be expensive, I'm relying on Metis as an L2 solution in that case. Have you heard that an eight-episode limited series exploring the unraveling and scandals behind sunken crypto exchange FTX and its leadership is set to begin production soon in relation to the events we followed with the FTX scandal? Given the gravity of the problem, or rather, the scam, and the fact that everyone is talking about it, I believe this is the largest crypto scam that we have encountered. What are your thoughts?

stoicyeoman- Default Metamask RPC logs IPs associated with ETH wallet transactions. What are the alternatives? Most people use Metamask because it's the least likely wallet where your ETH is going to disappear (just another early ETH investor got his phrase compromised for Trust Wallet somehow the other day). Now that the default RPC is logging IPs associated with the ETH wallet dress for each transaction, the question is what are the alternatives? Alchemy is being touted as one, but I see you actually need to sign up with your name on their website. Now you can use a fake name and fake email but I'd still rather not. All your transactions are tied to this and the company is also based in the US. So what are easy to use no sign up alternatives? Maybe someone can also chime in on trustworthy reliable alternatives to Metamask as well that are preferably open source and preferably underwent a security audit by a renown company and preferably offered on Android and iOS. Thanks! :)

The update is expected to increase adoption and reduce energy consumption, making it more environmentally friendly. Despite significant progress in recent years, scaling the ETH network remains difficult. Which L2 solutions do you use to address the issues presented by ETH? L2 solutions ZK Rollups will be the foundation of ETH's go-to strategy in the near and medium term, according to Vitalik Buterin. What are your thoughts on the subject? Working without Metis, Arbitum, Polygon, or any other long-standing L2 solution has become nearly impossible. Scalability is provided by the L2 chain, which allows for faster, cheaper transactions while retaining the primary security of the L1 chain. Protocols frequently use L2 to increase scalability by processing transactions off-chain and sending only essential data back to the mainnet. When trading derivatives, an L2 provides more leverage, more liquidity, and lower transaction costs than an L1. Users must be able to bridge back and forth from ETH without any lag or reliance on liquidity providers for it to be effective. What is your solution, and what is your L2 solution?

bitesports- ETH Blockchain Applicatio Question How could an ethereum blockchain application (or any blockchain application), prevent a company from fooling its stockholders through manipulating its books and records? My understanding is that a blockchain can only keep track of transactions that happened within a blockchain. How would the blockchain know, for example, if a company is inflating sales of its products? Even if this company were using blockchain, the stockholders still would need to rely on the truthfulness of the company officers who are responsible for inputting their financial information into the chain. I am reading The Truth Machine now which mentions blockchain being used for this purpose, and I wanted to clarify how this is possible.
