- "One bad signature will be able to drain your account on Ethereum after EIP-3074." Yes; this is true. 3074 coauthor here! Let me put this concern to rest a bit before it gets more out of hand.
- As of today, all Ethereum execution clients support history pruning for pre-merge data. For mainnet, this means 300-500 GB less disk space required to operate a node. Learn more about what this means and how to take advantage the new functionality:
- The go-ethereum team is hiring a staff software engineer to help ~accelerate~ Ethereum! If you have experience working in geth and are ready to contribute to the core protocol full-time, we’d love to hear from you. jobs.lever.co/ethereumfounda…
- We're doing an AMA on Reddit right now with @VitalikButerin on history expiry, come ask your questions!
- Ethereum wallets may be getting a significant upgrade soon. With the proposed change, EOAs will immediately be able to send batch txs, expiring txs, unordered txs, and more. (thread)
- 2021 will be the most innovative year for the Ethereum protocol since 2016. Here are the EIPs to keep an eye on this year (thread):
- Zhu, you are very disconnected from what is actually happening at the protocol. There is no “Founders Dilemma” - only really smart people working on hard problems while trying to safely upgrade a $500 billion chain.Yes I have abandoned Ethereum despite supporting it in the past. Yes Ethereum has abandoned its users despite supporting them in the past. The idea of sitting around jerking off watching the burn and concocting purity tests, while zero newcomers can afford the chain, is gross.
00:00- After the merge, there will be a much larger faction of "at home" block producers than we've seen under proof-of-work. In order for these independent stakers to extract MEV, we need to think differently about our approach to block production (thread).
- Ethereum has recently seen substantial changes, such as the move to PoS & EIP-1559. However, the EVM looks mostly the same. This may finally change with the Ethereum Object Format (EOF), which is likely going into Shanghai. It will be the EVM's biggest change since genesis.
- Ethereum clients currently store 275 GB of historical data that is unnecessary to validate the chain. That number is growing at a rate of around 140 GB per year. EIP-4444 proposes clients prune data older than 1 y/o. So why don't we just prune the data already?
