mist VS clientdiversity-org

Integrate EtherID.org ipfs requests in the BROWSER bar in Mist? - Good potential? Decentralized DNS on ethereum #398 https://github.com/ethereum/mist/issues/398

I'd expect them to provide at least one full set of usable software from it, not just specifications on how to write the software - which is what they seem to only be producing now?

They already cancelled their GUI wallet some years ago (https://github.com/ethereum/mist) which was kind of weird already considering that people did have money in it already.

But you could at least resort to using geth as a terminal UI client.

Now it seems ETH holders won't be able to access their funds using fully official software at all, which is kinda "meh", no matter if you're pro-crypto or against.

The first beta of Mist is released.

Mist Wallet v0.7.0 is out with French language support, CustomContracts Events, logging and UI bug fixes.

Alessandro said it'd be a few days before he can get me a data endpoint, but once that happens I'll have clientdiversity.org updated in a day or 2

Ethereum is the most decentralized transaction ledger in the world, with thousands of nodes distributed across the world, and more client diversity than any other blockchain that I'm aware of:

https://clientdiversity.org/

The move to Proof of Stake has also made solo validation accessible to parties other than large pools.

there are guides on https://clientdiversity.org/

Large number of nodes does not equal decentralization. In Ethereum, like all other networks/countries, power tends to consolidate. All the consensus power is consolidated to 1-2 entities.link Hedera is already far more decentralized.

Apparently that’s the case, yes: https://clientdiversity.org/ though the source says „data might not be 100% accurate“, but I guess it’s sure geth dominance is down.

Execution clients only run GETH. Client diversity isn’t even great per eth foundation: https://clientdiversity.org

10+ separate companies implement the protocol in 10 completely different independent code bases https://clientdiversity.org/

As I said this is the second time I did this "report" and asked for better sources the first time as well. In the end I did my best to find reliable sources, but even back then I really wasn't sure if these numbers are correct. And if you look at https://clientdiversity.org/ there are even two data sources you can choose that really differ... so +1 to the irony of our industry...
