There is a etoro version of the Ruble, but no liquidity. The eth address for this contract hasn't been used for a month or so...

Sooo has anyone got any idea where I can buy Rubles online? An Ethereum Stablecoin would be much preferred of course!

Thanks ;)

As I see the unfolding of ETH, the acceptance in communities outside of crypto, I feel this may be the last chance to purchase this commodity at under 3000. I am going to raise my cost per average which I hate doing by purchasing more. I will sell my LTC .

Look, basically miners are making bank hand over fist today. Price of ETH has 4x and they're making another 2x from all the high gas price that I and everyone else are paying. Please help. I know there is at least one EIP to lower the inflation rate.

Here is the EIP-2878 and their reasoning: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-2878-block-reward-reduction-to-0-5-eth/4500

Most have no clue that what's happening here is sowing the seeds for the entire Ethereum Network's demise when the smoke clears. Imagine how easy it would've been to shut down entirely if the Merge had already happened... Most nodes are run by CEX's. Almost all nodes are hosted on either AWS or Infura servers. Most dapps pull their API data from Etherscan, which is 100% hosted on Infura. Metamask is the largest Ethereum wallet. Metamask has over 20M users, meaning the majority of ERC-20 tokens off exchanges are with Metamask...which uses Infura itself and Etherscan heavily.

Opensea blacklisting, then several pools blacklisting, then we heard of NFTs being seized by smaller dapps, then we heard the rumors of UniSwap and USDC integrating blockchain forensics to freeze out Russians, now we have Metamask and Infura... Why wouldn't AWS be next? And what the hell makes people think this isn't a permanent thing? It's over. This network failed its basic test in less than one week

I just saw this post about VanEck and ProShares dropping their ETF applications and now there's speculation that it may be because they suspect ETH will be deemed a security. If ETH is deemed a security what are the implications of that? Does anything actually change?

• Can't an ETF be made even if it's a security? If yes, why would they pull their application? If not, any other idea on why they'd pull the application?

• How would ETH being a security affect users? Developers? Investors?

• Any changes to tax requirements?

• What does this mean for projects (in the US)? Would they legally be allowed to publish contracts (like Uniswap v2) that don't have a whitelist/blacklist?

• What does this mean for ecommerce businesses that accept ETH or companies like BitPay?

Feel free to mention any other ways things would change.

Any big brains out there who can explain why Arbitrum One, one of the most promising L2s, takes 7 days to complete a withdrawal to mainnet when other L2s are relatively instant?

Could this long wait time ever be reduced in the future?

Economists have predicted 5 of the last 153 recessions. Can you think of another industry where being wrong 97% of the time grants you enormous power, wealth & responsibility? Protecting banks & the super rich comes with it's perks. This time there's an alternative. Bitcoin.

before clarity act.
let’s get this across the finish line

Dear community,

probably many of you (including me) are still waiting for PoS since 2016. I clearly understand the importance of research, security testing and so on. However, I also see:

• The inability of the Ethereum Foundation to appropriately allocate grants. The overall strategy and roadmap is poor and always delayed. E.g.: We don't need multiple client implementations for day 1 of phase 0!

• Further aspects with allocating grants and evidently a conflict of interest: Parity. I won't get into detail, read the news.

• Ethereum Foundation cashed out $100 million some time ago. Maybe a lack of incentives makes the overall progress slow. Solely relying on research will not ship any product.

In my opinion, we, the Ethereum community, should :

1) set a not delayable ice age for phase 0 - e.g. by 31 March 2020.

2) Furthermore, we should discuss locking all EF related funds by then.

Please give an opinion on this topic. In case of strong support, I will open an EIP .

Reddit has opened up registration for tokenized donuts, and the deadline for claiming one's pre-tokenization donuts is in about 16 days.

More information about donuts on Ethereum:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/dwiu4f/donutsonethereum_registration_is_open/

Anyone who does not claim their donuts by the deadline forfeits their pre-tokenization donut balance.

Many users on EthFinance have significant donut balances on EthTrader, including the moderators of EthFinance, and I encourage you to claim them. Whatever you may think about donuts, the fact is you have earned those donuts and it's only fair that you receive them.

Good evening everyone. I am very bullish. My price target is $9,176. I calculated this by taking the current share price and adding %714 gains in the last 12 months. See below:

My wife reaches a milestone birthday early next year and many friends and family are already asking what to gift her. My wife would love an elective surgery (not cosmetic) that would substantially improve her quality of life, and I am thinking of the following method for it.

1. Set up a JustGiving or similar page for family and friends to donate towards the surgery. I will pledge to match (i.e., double) the end amount to ensure that the costs can be covered.

2. Any leftover funds will be donated to charity (minus $100, see below), I will run invite-only polls to scope suitable charities and have a democratic decision on how to distribute (e.g., equal shares, weighted by popularity, etc)

3. Offer an xDai POAP for all those who donate and choose to create their own ETH wallet (no ETH required for claiming). Provide basic guidance and recommend things like Metamask.

4. Run a POAP raffle for the aforementioned $100 in ETH, entered only by those who claimed POAPs.

The idea here is to digitally immortalise the kind donations people make, and incentivise a safe and risk free way for them to experience Ethereum.

Critiques, comments, suggestions all welcome!

Edit: to be absolutely clear, there is no asking for donations outside of people we know and love in meat space. This is not a post asking for you to donate to my wife, only an advice request on this idea that I have had and your thoughts on how it could be implemented.

Sorry if this came across as begging or pre-begging. That is not at all the aim, I just want to know if this sounds feasible and if it could be improved!
