What you are seeing live, is client diversity keeping Ethereum afloat during network degradation. This is why we're built different. This is why we run multi-node implementations and this is why there are 11+ client teams that Build on Ethereum.
#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moonβs Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1
@tkstanczak Bringing Holesky back up is great if possible. But we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that it's a good test of how a supermajority bug fork on mainnet would go.
Slashing >2/3 of the stake because of client bugs would kill the chain. IMO we need a better plan for that case
The roadmap does include improvements that might scale L1 enough to be affordable for most individuals again in the future, but this is a nice-to-have.
If you're an individual, go use Base or Arbitrum or Optimism or Starknet or Zksync or Taiko or Fuel or Blast or Metis or ...
When will people understand that since 2019, L1 Ethereum's intended users are entire chains (L2s), not individual people like you and me?
It's not trying to be a memecoin casino anymore, but a global settlement layer.
Ethereum <-> literally any other chain is apples to oranges
Ethereum remains my first and only love in crypto.
Math over trust.
The many over the few.
Utility over memes.
Neutrality over bias.
Openness over censorship.
Eth is not perfect, but it's made the fewest compromises of any chain in these areas.
$0 or $150k, I'll be here.
@dystopiabreaker Absolutely. At this point all our problems are social, not technological. The only thing between ourselves and utopia is, well, ourselves
One whale could step in and end our fundraising efforts.
$2M is an enormous burden for a single developer, but an easily attainable goal for an entire community.
We need to rally for Roman's defense. We can't afford to lose this fight.
@ShaneKelly5425@lifeatstagezero@MarcusHouse I don't think it was tower <-> mission control comms that was lost (those are indeed buried lines), but tower <-> booster
@sassal0x I've been running with 40M configured for almost a year now. Would love to have some more company so we can actually start getting the number up!
@NASASpaceflight@haygenwarren > More specifically, one Starship launch is equivalent to that of four to six SLS launches regarding noise production
Wow
@TrustlessState IMO this was a very realistic timeline (incorporating the inevitable delays) and that was its fatal flaw.
By comparison, over-ambitious, unrealistic timelines both play better to the crowd, and can drive faster actual progress.
Human psychology favors lying to ourselves lol
@icebergy To be fair though, Justin probably should have given a timeline that erred towards the overambitious, rather than a completely realistic one that built in delays. Better to push ourselves and be late than to chill and be even later
@icebergy This is how decentralized development works (and I'm saying this as someone who has followed Eth's development closely for the past ~7 years.)
If you've seen a chain make similarly large changes much faster, either it has very little adoption, or it's massively centralized
