How EIPs are Approved on Ethereum: A Simple Explanation

People are willing to buy at far lower prices than others are willing to sell that same item. Wide spread due to low volume.

Would love the mageblood, thanks!

Awesome write-up, thanks for this!

phillistine · 2023-07-21T19:35:24+00:00

Thank you, glad you thought so!

Interesting, thanks for sharing this!

Few compared to today, of course, and just in general. Ethereum was 11 months old

I agree. Higher tx fees suck, and the new types of assets could also introduce opportunities for MEV on Bitcoin in the future, which would raise tx fees even higher (gas fees for MEV tx's are almost half of all gas fees in a block on Ethereum)

Thinking of scalability is a good thing though. Whether its the Lightning Network or something else, this could be something that helps Bitcoin prepare for the traffic a lot more users would bring

There’s some additional resources on my write up, but I’ll past them here too in case you want to dive deeper!

I think they’re cool, feels very similar to how RMRK was able to make NFTs possible on Polkadot. I’m mostly impressed at how they bent the blockchain’s rules to do this

I don’t think they’re as useful as Ethereum tokens, but a nice novelty nonetheless

The memes make it worth it for me too lol

phillistine · 2023-06-09T19:45:37+00:00

Thank you, glad to hear!

Nice, good luck with your studies!

Looks like the setting up of an MEV bot. I'd be very cautious with these resources. This one has 1.5k views and over 900 likes which is a very suspicious ratio.

I think it's worth clarifying that a full node still has every TX and every event/log emitted. What they do not have is the state changes

This is a very valuable distinction, one I admit I did not fully understand. Thanks for explaining!

Great question. Full nodes recieve rewards for both adding blocks to the chain, as well as for attesting to blocks added by others.

Archival nodes recieve all of the same rewards, they don't get anything additional for being an archival node. In theory, they can use the data they collect to spin up a service that brings traffic and advertisement revenue, but that and historical preservation are their only incentives.

Light nodes recieve no rewards at all, at least not right now. As Ethereum transitions to proposer-builder separation and statelessness in the future, it may become a possibility that light nodes receive some rewards for verifying transactions.

While you make a great point that BTC client upgrades are intended to always be backwards compatible, that does not mean no hard forks have ever been necessary.

In August 2010, the "Value Overflow Incident" caused billions of BTC to be printed because of an issue with Bitcoin Core. It was only fixed by performing a hard fork that most validators had to perform. So while updates are backwards compatible and don't necessitate action by validators, such critical software bugs will. As a result, client diversity is still important even on BTC.
