Ethereum Wiki - The Ethereum Wiki.

One of the earliest FAQs about proof of stake vitalik made in 2016 even talked about burning fees:

Ethereum website doesn't offer services like thia, by the way the correct Ethereum site is www.ethereum.org, not www.ethereum.com.

How is the gas-price calculated? It’s calculated in gwei, which you probably heard of. 1 gwei = 0.000000001 ETH. Every transaction to make on the ETH network cost a fixed amount of gwei + a variable amount of gwei. A bunch of transactions are packed into a block. These blocks have a size, depending on the amount of transactions that are packed into it. If the network activity goes up, so does the blocksize and so does the base fee and variable fees. This would mean: the more popular the Ethereum network becomes and people use it, the higher the blocks are to compute the transactions, the higher the base fees and variable fees become. The fees are calculated as a % of the value of Ethereum. So there is always a direct correlation between the gas fees and the price of Ethereum. On top, the fees are an essential part of keeping the network secure. You can also leave a tip, so a miner has an incentive to make your transaction happen before others, but I will leave that out of this story for now too. I will leave the update of the Ethereum network out of it too, but if you want to read more, there is a lot to read on www.ethereum.org. This is, for all you visual people, what a block looks like:

Check out this post by V. Buterin https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Problems/89fd07ffff8b042134e4ca67a0ce143d574016bd he goes into details about real world problems that could be solved with blockchain.

I really like the look and colors of www.ethereum.org. Especially the guy screwdriving the shit out of that machine.

and many more

While creating these tutorials, I choose Ethereum Name Service as an example, because it's a famous project, and quite frankly, also because I take these changes to study some subjects I am interested in (sue me! 😛).

> I hope this idea catches on

This already exists with Ethereum Name Service (ENS) https://ens.domains and Sign-in With Ethereum.

ENS is my go to example for something novel and useful that Ethereum enables. Instantly propagating private key based DNS.

https://ens.domains

One of the first applications of blockchains was DNS. (Namecoin) ENS is a modern form. (https://ens.domains)

I would say there's still some degree of centrality for ENS, but it is more decentralized than DNS.

This is a scam. The real url is ens.domains, not ens.com.
