Poll: Do you think Ethereum will successfully upgrade to ETH 2.0?
With ETH 2.0 as a proxy for “proof of stake”
- dane-pgp 5y agoAs the poll doesn't specify a time limit, or define the minimum feature set of ETH 2.0, or even what the success criteria are, I think it is safe to guess that eventually something called ETH 2.0 will be claimed by the Ethereum developers to be available. More seriously, I think that there is a greater than 50% chance that Ethereum fully integrates a proof of stake system this year (or next), as there are already competitors claiming to have deployed that technology.
- keenmaster 5y agoThe Hacker News community has been notoriously cynical about crypto and blockchain from the very beginning. Adding a timeline would have brought out that cynicism even more. I was more interested in the binary yes/no on Ethereum migration to proof of stake from a technical standpoint. Even that got a 50/50 split so far (so 50% of voters don’t think that migration will happen over ANY timeframe, I’m not judging but that’s maximum cynicism. Maybe there’s an early responder bias).
