vitalik.ca - Casper The Friendly Finality Gadget

"This document describes a candidate design for the first implementation
of Casper proof of stake on Ethereum. The proposal aims to achieve the key
goals of deposit-based proof of stake including highly secure finality and low-
cost consensus, but do so in a way that can be applied with minimal disruption
to existing chains, including the current Ethereum proof of work chain.

We describe the workings of the algorithm, show safety and liveness in a
partially-synchronous fault-tolerance-theoretic model, and then proceed to
describe the various considerations involving game-theoretic incentives. We
will describe the algorithm in stages with increasing complexity, in order to
show the core ideas first, and then bring in features such as validator set
rotation and economic incentivization."

r - The DAppening is almost upon us - 2018 will be a transformative year for Ethereum!

"LocalEthereum - An app which allows people to enter and exit the Ethereum
ecosystem by facilitating P2P trade between ETH and fiat currencies. Status:
It went live recently and has nearly 6k transactions on its escrow contract.

Request - A layer on top of Ethereum that enables the creation and tracking
of invoices and request for push payments. Status: An early version will be
launching on mainnet Q4 2017."

"Imagine, instead, that they represented:

* rare cards in online collectible card games
* plots of land in Arizona
* corporate stocks from Fortune 100 companies that trade on NASDAQ or the NYSE"

royalfork.org - Graphical Ethereum Address

"1. Private key is 256 random bits.
2. Multiply the private key by the elliptic curve generator point to get the public
key. The public key is a point on the elliptic curve and has x and y coordinates.
3. Concatenate the x and y coordinates of the public key, and ccompute a
Keccak256 hash.
4. Take the last 20 bytes, add '0x' to the front, and you have an Ethereum
address :)"

coindesk.com - The Father of the ICO Is All About Identity Now

"According to Vogelsteller, who has gone as far as to call token sales the 'least
interesting' application of ethereum, there's too much attention on 'making
money' in the space right now. But by contrast, identity is a 'very important'
application that ethereum could facilitate.

It's what the future needs, absolutely. There's no way around it, he said."

'A Modest Proposal': Vitalik Unveils Multi-Year Vision for Ethereum

Buterin's roadmap includes other changes too, though they were less prominent in his talk.

These included planned upgrades to the ethereum virtual machine (EVM), the technology that today compiles smart contract code and communicates it to the network. He also addressed another long-in-the-making tech project, eWASM, for running ethereum in a web browser, one that hints at the necessity of ensuring this system given that the EVM has been implemented in other blockchain projects as well.

Another idea proposed was for so-called "stateless clients," a proposal for how clients could sync with the network more quickly.

Scaling Ethereum - hundreds to thousands of transactions per second - today!

We've developed the Fate Channel tech to allow us to cope with hundreds or thousands of transactions per second, allowing large numbers of people to play games in realtime on the blockchain, with the right amount of on chain and off chain transactions all seamlessly integrated together.

"For people that don't believe in it have a look for yourselves The original one
posted 7 hours ago and the second one as of 9:19pm Brisbane Time...Look at
where the blue wave 3 finishes and starts to retrace maybe a few dollars shy
of being spot on....Also wave 4 might not retrace won't go as low as i have
predicted because we were a few dollars higher it changes the support levels"

r - BCash is an empty truck claiming to be faster

"But ultimately Ethereum is a network built around 'accepting a lot more trust
into the fundamental architecture' as a trade-off, whereas Bitcoin is maximally
trustless. Make no mistake, though: they are making a big trade-off, whether
you're knowledgeable enough to recognize it or not."

This is how Ethereum will scale

When it comes to the Ethereum Blockchain, scaling is the most important issue to take into consideration. The blockchain technology has expanded rapidly over the last two months, as you can see in the transactions chart here. On November 11, there were less than 500,000 transactions per day. But today, the network is approaching almost 1,500,000 daily transactions.
