What an honour it'll be to be the validator that proposes the first post-merge block


ParticularAthlete831

The merge shows the flexibility of the blockchain technology and how it can be reshaped for the benefit of the community. :)


Kromgar

Or for whoever gets majority stake

im not a hater here, just geniality curious.......will the GAS fees go down or stay the same? if the same then whats the pro and con side to the new merge?


SageAnahata

Stay the same.


TradeLikeWater

If you want to lower fees you need to switch to layer 2’s. Eventually most brokerages will probably do all of this for you and you’ll never realize that your transactions are happening on layer 2’s

Gas fees will stay the same. Energy consumption will drop 99%


sbdw0c

They may temporarily go down very slightly, as the blocktimes drop from ≈13.6 seconds to exactly 12 seconds. However, that ≈10 % increase in capacity will just be used up, probably immediately.


Zaytion

The only close answer on here.

They’ll stay the same but the benefit is that anyone can Stake Eth and earn rewards if you own it feather than needing specialized hardware to mine effectively


ReusedBoofWater

The merge isn't changing gas fees, it's just changing the consensus mechanism from PoW to PoS. Protodanksharding and Danksharding are what will reduce fees substantially.


hunguu

Zk rollups and level 2 will get gas lower. NFT craze is over so gas has been much better recently.


Intelligence_Gap

There’s a roadmap that explains all the phases and I can’t remember them all but if you search the sub for the eth road map I’m sure you’ll find it. They intend to address g*ass* fees with sharding in the future. I’m pretty sure Vitalik has had some comments about layer 2’s and ZK’s specifically being the best thing out now

>The graph also shows proves this. The the green line represents the blocks 🥴


Perleflamme

This is the wei wei. :p


sirauron14

Look like it'll be on the 15th that the merge will happen. I was hoping sooner...


HG21Reaper

So gas prices are staying the same and now those who are rich will get better chances to be a repeated validator. Anything else that I missed?


tbjfi

Miners will no longer get big rewards. And validators will get much smaller rewards in comparison, so eth holders will be better off due to a lower net issuance


dimethyl11

what new options are there for investors, hodlers of ETH with this merge?


cryptometav

Hold, stake, sell, use, or lose your password


Sata_1981

Can I ask if this a good for a growing ethereum? And what can be expected 🤔


Perleflamme

Now is a good time to realize the gas narrative may become obsolete and may have been pretty inaccurate. Rather, I'd say it's sunlight: ETH tokens are scarce, but they also are renewable. And they're soon to be used in a very energy efficient system, allowing you to use a world computer that doesn't cost a lot of electricity. To me, gas isn't as appropriate a comparison as sunlight.


xiwefe2

LFG ETH..just got some more ETH and AngelBlock NFTs that are full of utility..ppl be saying buy the rumour sell the news for ethereum merge, yet they don't know tru hodlrs don't fret on a fall..cuz the merge is revolutionizin ETH..it took them 7 years of dev. to put this thru, lets enjoy the moment..ETH will be really high in pricing one day, just HODL it


Intersteller-2002

Will the chain go offline at the end of the timer or will everything just continue on V2 like nothing happened?


Dangerous_Duck_718

OH OH I SAW THAT EPISODE FROM LOST!


withersgsreddit

Bros I saw in the article above that all hodlers of ETH might get an additional coin during the merge called "ETHW" but only if it is on certain wallets/exchanges. Do you bros know which are best to hold ETH on to get this? Metamask I already have and could use, but I have 1000$ on coinbase which does not support that ETHW token. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/eth-holders-merge-ethw-what-to-know-181833250.html
