Ethereum’s Proof of Stake Casper Explanation part 1


Ethereum is planning on making a huge move to Proof of Stake.
Here is an explanation of how Casper, Ethereum’s Proof of Stake algorithm, works with validators.

Part 2 explains how the rules of Etheruem’s Proof of Stake will be enforced, and the implementations on Ethereum’s future:

  1. So only the rich will be able to meaningfully mine and control Ether? Did the Bilderberg Group get to Vitalik? This how they wanted to take control? I mean unless you have a TON of Ether, there is zero incentive for the 99% to ever be able to benefit. This sounds EXTREMELY like something a Central Bank would do.

    Until I hear more and understand it more, me thinks this justified Bitcoin much more, time to move away and put my Ether money into say Microsoft stock for Blockchain tech and Ethereum as a currency looks to die out FAST. But I do see a huge spike initially as the rich via for purchasing Ether to hit the 1000 needed.

  2. Thanks for this great video! But i still wonder if the benefits of validators is depends on how much the steak they owned?

  3. Suppose I have 10 eth to stake, will I get the same amount of eth as reward everytime I validate a block? or will that depend on the block being validated and I could get diff amt of eth everytime my eth validate blocks?

  4. I'm confused about something. Right now the blockchain resides on the miner's computers, right? So when that goes away, where does the blockchain live? Do stakeholders need to have a computer running with the blockchain residing there?

  5. Here's where I'm lost. If I have no crypto n want to mine under POW. I can do that. I don't need any to start mining. But from everything I heard, POS sounds like you can only mine/validate if you have Eth to begin with. How is the not a potential issue. Am I misunderstanding something here?

  6. One correction needs to be Noted!!
    I quoted an early estimate of how much as Validator needs to stake at 1000 ETH, but the number will be around 10 ETH.
    I apologize for the mistake. I try to emphasize known facts. The correction will be definitely noted in the updated explanation at the end of 2017.
    Thanks for watching!!!

  7. great video, kinda get how these votes can make a blockchain now. But how is this going to work? when will Ethereum make this change of algorthim? Won't that create a HARD FORKKK?? Thanks for the video looking forward to Part 2!
