cz_binance: #Binance is working with relevant parties globally to reach these goals. E.g. On education: @BinanceAcademy is a one-stop online crypto education hub. We’ve brought courses offline to universities around the world, and launched Learn and Earn

r/ethereum - It seems like just another tactic from the SEC to delay crypto adoption

It is known for years that ETH will switch to PoS. The SEC had years to investigate and clarify weather PoS or staking services make ETH a security. So everyone and all exchanges could prepare for the Merge. But the SEC didn’t… Gensler just dropped a bom and keeps it vague. Why..? because financial institutions, large companies etc. wil not touch ETH PoS until it’s made clear what the rules…

r/ethereum - Why did the first POS block get an insane amount of 46 eth as block reward??

The block I mean is the first block created after the merge, see here https://etherscan.io/block/15537394 . It got around 46 eth in rewards, can anyone explain this? Isn't that wayyyy too much? The following blocks all got around 0.5 eth each.0 votes and 9 comments so far on Reddit

r/ethereum - Censorship and a potential fork (not powchain) after the Merge that may have serious consequences - summary

There's a lot of confusion on this subject so I thought this would be worth posting. After the merge, US based validators (PoS stakers) may be prevented from validating OFAC sanctioned transactions (e.g. tornadocash) if the US government decides so. Currently it is unclear whether this is the case. Anyone exposed to these sanctions will err on the side of caution to avoid jail time. Example - ethermine have been…

Hi there,over the course of a few months I’ve worked on a project called Etherface, an Ethereum Signature Database similar to 4Byte to decode function, event and error signatures.

r/ethereum - Let's take a moment to appreciate how hard the devs are working at proof-of-stake

More than 5 years they have been working on incorporating the best possible version of proof-of-stake on arguably the most used blockchain.

r/ethereum - Seems like the major Eth devs believe this concern has already been addressed. Anyone know where it’s addressed, and for all the investors staking Eth on a third party, did you know you are at risk of getting slashed if the US didn’t want to play nice with it’s competition? Here’s the scenario.

There is a period between Merge and Unlock in which if the US attacks, the choice The Eth community would be left with is either slash 10 billion in small users staked funds on staking service that have to comply with sanctions(for example Coinbase, even if Brian wanted to do what’s best for Eth, and instead of censor, unstake the locked tokens and accept > 50 mil in inactivity slashes…
