Good Read: Ethereum is facing pressure on multiple fronts and that is probably a good thing!

- L2 systems and scaling: concerns that layer 2 designs are drifting away from Ethereum’s core model and in their current form may not be delivering the kind of scaling Ethereum needs.

- The Quantum challenge: the network is taking the quantum risk seriously establishing dedicated research efforts focused specifically on post-quantum security.

- Moving into AI: proponents suggest Ethereum could act as a coordination layer for decentralized AI systems, enabling verifiable outputs, trust-minimized data sharing, and machine-to-machine economic activity.

@troed nodds in agreement.

#Ethereum and it's metastasizing outgrows like #Solana are a prime example on how #ProofOfStake can be made more harmful and more wasteful than #ProofOfWork.

  • It boggles my mind how much #WastefulComputing that shit takes: Casually saturating #10Gbit-NICs and burning through NVMe-#SSDs with constant IOPS, whilst requiring huge amounts of #RAM.

I hope assholes like #Buterin are banned from any #CCC events for life!

  • The only [technical, not political/financial/regulatory!] problem #Monero has is that it's not fast enough for use in #retail. If it's block rate was about 60-120x faster, it would be a drop-in replacement for #CreditCards! But for like a #Restaurant and #OnlineShopping where 2-6 mins of wait time are acceptable, it already works fine.

@xz @simplex I didn't even waste the time & traffic because #Buterin has a massive #ego and #Ethereum is just a #Shitcoin I din't want to deal with!

  • Not to mention his control over it makes it IMHO even more centralized than #Bitcoin and almost all other #Shitcoins.

Only #Solana is a bigger pain to setup and maintain and really shows how #ProofOfStake can be more resource-intensive and wasteful than #ProofOfWork (espechally when compared to #decentralized, Anti-#ASIC options that are superior like #Monero)…

@[email protected] thanks but no. I get paid to deal with his technology on a regular basis, and I regret it…

@simplex If #Buterin is involved, that is a huge red flag for me!

Vitalik slams EU’s Chat Control: ‘We all deserve privacy and security’

Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin has opposed EU's Chat Control law, calling it a threat to privacy and digital security. He noted that lawmakers want to exempt themselves.

Vitalik Buterin suggests that Ethereum
will be ready for the on slot of quantum computing suggesting a quantum machine could break blockchain cryptography between 2030 and 2035. The Ethereum Foundation is working to integrate zkEVM ( Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) within layer 1, within twelve months.
