    I'm looking forward to more Headlines focused on entrepreneurs' race, age, weight or other distinguishing physical characteristics. /s

    That's not necessarily true. Some people mine with 100% solar power and their ongoing expenses are almost zero.

    Indeed. In my experience the legal system is highly biased and corrupt.

    If I have enough, I will run a validator. If not I will probably do some defi like lido + curve + yearn. I may also mine something else like flux or raven.

    I agree with you of course, but those are not “ETH PoS” staking, strictly speaking. They are just layers on top. You definitely make more running your own validators.

    Decentralization is about not needing anyone’s permission to participate and being free from censorship. You don’t need good credit or even ID to open an account and no one can sei…

    I personally have been mining ETH for years with equipment I bought for $20k in 2017 - 2018. I’ve made many times my investment back. That same equipment is still running profitabl…

    I am not intimately familiar with the staking terms on Coinbase, but from what I recall, you should be able to withdraw your ETH at any time and receive it in at most a few days. I…

    Not a great analogy imho. The ETH consensus change from PoW to PoS changes the way that blocks are signed and validated. No more PoW. Instead, now validators decide. It’s more like…

    This has no impact on anything really at all. It’s just re branding, hopefully to clarify things. ETH does not change with ETH2. It’s just a series of upgrades to eliminate wastefu…

    The minimum amount required to stake is 32 ETH. That’s $75k at today’s price. There are cheaper was to “stake” but those are not really “ETH PoS” staking. So no, it does not “cost …

    There are over 200,000 ETH PoS validators running already. I think that’s pretty decentralized.

    There is no “ETH 1.0” token or “ETH 2.0” token. There is only ETH. They never “convert”. Anyone can fork the code at any time and keep mining. Many have. ETC and ELLA are a couple …

    I don't think they test at all because... who cares? It's Facebook. You get what you pay for.

    Wow. Now if they could just figure out why my news feed has said "Something Went Wrong" at the bottom for about the last year or so.

    There is a decent GANTT plug-in for Jira called WBS Gantt. I am not affiliated with them, but I've used it successfully. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211768/wbs-gantt-ch…
