Gridcoin-Tasks VS pm

Anyone interested should also look into Gridcoin, you can get some crypto back in addition to doing some good science.

https://gridcoin.us/

Gridcoin. Support science. https://gridcoin.us

Been around longer than Eth has. You can check out the mining/crunching guides at gridcoin.us. If you run into any questions hop on the discord people are happy to help

Generally in terms of best to run for earning GRC it's math > physics > health augmented by CPU/GPU. You can get an idea of which those are by looking at the whitelist on gridcoin.us. I would avoid sidock for pis, iirc their workunits are very read/write heavy which isn't great for an SD-card based system.

Gridcoin - This cryptocurrency rewards users for participating in BOINC, a platform for distributed computing that supports a variety of scientific research projects.

I run BOINC with Gridcoin… but you’re likely not going to make much, if anything, after electricity. It’s for science tho :)

And there's rewards for doing it - https://gridcoin.us/

https://gridcoin.us. It’s a project that incentivizes distributive computing.

I noticed Universe@home is no longer showing in my wallet whitelist, but cannot find anything on it being removed from GRC. This might be a dumb question, but can anyone give me a link to what happened? I don't see anything on this sub and https://gridcoin.us/ still shows it whitelisted, but I know that's slow to update at times.

EIP4844 readiness checklist: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md

Dencun upgrade with EIP4844 is likely later this year, which will bring lower cost Layer 2 transactions. Follow the readiness of EIP4844: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md Prague + E starname upgrade is probably 2024, possibly focused on EOF, then followed by a Verkle tree focused upgrade, but none of this has been decided.

There's an EIP 4844 readiness checklist.

The live date for the Shanghai upgrade is likely to be April 12, occurring at epoch number 620,9536. This was announced during the All Core Developers Execution Layer #157 call on 16 March 2023.

On December 8, 2022, the Ethereum core team held an All Core Developers (ACD) meeting. The Ethereum team agreed to target March 2023 as the release date for Shanghai’s mainnet launch. However, this is a tentative date based on the assumption that the Zhejiang, Sepolia, and Goerli testnets are successful.

Shanghai is the next major upgrade for the Ethereum network, following the Merge in September 2022. Key highlights of what to expect include:
