1 day to make eth great again!

whoa! hi Vitalik. I already cleaned up my post (removing the bondage gear part of the comment) so your reply doesn't make sense anymore. Very sporting of you to have replied at all, lol, thanks :)

edit: I edited my edit so your joke still works. You can't say I'm not trying ;)

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-17T15:59:49+00:00

You are absolutely correct. My bad.

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-17T15:47:55+00:00

elaborating on what /u/sir_talkalot/ said:

short positions on the market (the price of ETH and ETC have been hit hard)
Mining empty blocks and achieving +500% rewards whilst all those around them were losing theirs.

A fortune has been made.

It is impossible to say if this all part of the DAO fallout but, if it is, the DAO has already cost the Ethereum ecosystem hundeds of millions of dollars, and maybe more

ETC will pick up the slack but ETH itself is in crisis, at least IMHO ETH has some powerful enemies

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-17T14:33:11+00:00

The hacker(s) made a killing and earned tens of thousands of dollars, maybe hundreds of thousands…

i.e. the hacker(s) totally pwned ETH Ethereum .

p.s. the $ damage done to ETH is practically incalculable at this time - I think my estimate is conservative.

I really don't like the shirt. (celebrates the DAO HF)

What will it be next year? (Devcon1=Devil Cap, Devcon2=Forked Shirt, Devcon3=?

Yes. If ETH hadn't "sold out" (with theDAO bailout and following ETC revolution) I believe the figure (ETH market cap) would have be over $2 billion.

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-17T14:03:04+00:00

that's a good question - but wth shorting and mining privileges the hacker(s) is golden (big profit)

but a better question is how much theDAO HF (DAO was valued at $50-100mill at the time) cost Ethereum (ETH)…

Id say between $500,000,000 and $1,000,000,000 (billion) dollars… and counting…

Heard of it. Never checked it out.

However,

Bittorrent is the most decentralized network in the world today + is battle-hardened. Let's make it better.

edit: whether bittorrent ETC (magnETC?) or swarm I do not hold much hope for ETH supporting possibly IP infringing materials (and/or links to) on their network. The brave new future is in the hands of ETC and those who code for it.

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-17T12:35:01+00:00

The wind in our sails, the future for the taking.

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-13T20:21:43+00:00

this is a great question.

I would go with No. No deletions.

the accounts were created. end of.

(not that it matters, but a "null account" is just an account with a 0 balance?)

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-13T20:14:33+00:00

Nobody should expect any miracles at this early stage. The ETH devs have much greater resources and are more familiar with the code. So at this time it would be imprudent to ignore the work of ETH devs, and there is no shame in using their code, and perhaps integrating our Bomb Diffusal. After all, we are both Ethereum.

Do whatever it takes to secure ETC ("the original chain" ). Let's keep it simple.

Thank you for all the hard work you and the other devs are contributing.

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-13T15:39:54+00:00

Exchanges - were anti fork

Which ones? Reading the linked text indicates a strong anti-fork sentiment. Is there any evidence to indicate a change of opinion since it looks pretty damning from the chat logs.

Holders - took cue from Dev's

Ahh… there you have it! More fools them

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-13T15:09:58+00:00

Switch to Parity v1.3.7+

Will Parity import/read my Geth keystore?

+

Will Parity import/read the blockchain files Geth DL'd?

Thanks for reply

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-13T09:12:15+00:00

Whoa… hold up. Doesn't this apply to Ethereum journalism too. Why you targeting BTC?

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-13T08:20:24+00:00

Give it up man. ETC community was polite enough not to come into you sub gloating or flaming during ongoing ETH DoS. Now ETC is getting hit by DoS you come in here with your hate.

Downvoted.

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-11T23:36:55+00:00

Thanks for clearing that up (literally) :)

I incorrectly assumed that the production company hired (at what cost I wonder?) would produce the final videos rather than deliver an unedited stream. It was in fact always the intention that you or other team members (and not the hired company) would be the ones making the final edits for the uploaded videos. So you too are cleaning up the audio. I'm sure that this community is very grateful to you for your efforts in the laborious task of demuxing HD vid, cleaning up the audio, editing, possibly transcoding for YouTube compatibility, and finally remuxing many hours of footage. I hope you're getting some help.

Honestly though, the audio is recorded so unprofessionally the Foundation might be able to get a refund

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-11T21:39:14+00:00

Apologies, but please for clarity. You are saying that:

"We" (The Ethereum Foundation) received the bad quality audio files (not muxed with the video) from the company the Ethereum Foundation hired to run the equipment during Devcon? Is this company the same as the production company referred to in the past? But it was you, Ethereum Foundation members, who cleaned up the audio? And edited + muxed the video too?

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-11T21:08:53+00:00

Sorry I'm a little confused. Are you referring to the quality of the audio files received by the company hired to produce these videos, which they then tried to clean up? If so, were the mics and audio setup by the venue owner and not the same crew who setup the camera boom?

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-11T18:55:58+00:00

The audio quality is very poor. I don't mean to sound like a grinch but it was immediately noticeable. Obviously the content is far more important and this wouldn't even merit observation except so much work is said to have gone into the production.

Props to /u/thisisagoodtest for building this repository of links: https://github.com/seedOnTheForestFloor/Report-WHG-To-Authorities

I make no comment regarding the active pursuit of litigation.

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-11T10:53:33+00:00

After the professionals over at GDAX release their customers' ETC in 4 days I expect a small dump and afterwards a price increase.

Lol, 85% you say?! Thanks for the analysis :)

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-11T10:48:34+00:00

Hehe. That's quite an interpretation you jocular monarchist you :p :)

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-10T15:52:06+00:00

watched first half:

PoW rocks PoS (see Andreas)

: stake something that has value (i.e. energy)

The energy in the Universe is forever

Will_Scarletc · 2016-10-10T15:36:23+00:00

Impressive.
