It's time to stake your Ether. Ethereum is transitioning to Proof-of-Stake algorithm


After many debates and EIPs, on August 3rd, Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin announced the transition to Proof-of-Stake algorithm for the Ethereum blockchain.

The announcement states that during the transitioning period (August 3 - August 15), the Ethereum platform will run on a hybrid PoW/PoS algorithm, allowing both miners and stakers to validate transactions and thus earn Ether.

After August 15th, PoW will no longer be sustained and all blocks will be generated by the PoS consensus mechanism.
As the PoS mechanism is still in transition mode, staking is reserved forregistered addresses, until further development and the release of GUI wallets later on.

In cooperation with MyEtherWallet - the open source web wallet for the Ethereum blockchain, we are able to allow Ether holders to stake their ETH and earn dividends on a weekly basis.

At this stage, Ether can be staked for up to 10% ROI, until further implementations on the PoS algorithm, which will reduce the ROI to about 3,5-5%.

The project is backed the president Nicolas Maduro and, according to the   whitepaper , the original idea came from the previous president, Hugo Chavez. He wanted a “strong cur...

XRP THE GLOBAL STANDARD

For an evolving industry, especially one which constantly undergoes changes and improvement literally on a daily basis; it is pretty hard to keep up and maintain one's confidence in his/her decision. The media bais ( born out of sheer ignorance and lack of in-depth research) is another obstacle that individual investors and players in the field faces constantly aside the fraudulent activities associated with this space. Although it is true that most of the so-call digital assets and cryptocurrencies are nothing but mere scam as witnessed in past years, majority of the project are doomed to fail by the end of the this decade. How ever, it is only fair to state that those which will survive this time dimensional journey will eventually change the course of the human race especially in the area of finance and internet of things.  While it is known that the world financial system is not a fair play ground, it is not difficult to see the effects of these unfairness in the space.Kindl...
