Re: ETH Difficulty Bomb Delayed Again

Ethereum will be rolling a series of upgrades with the "London" hard fork on August 4, 2021. It'll be an exciting time for ETH holders as the cryptocurrency becomes scarcer than ever while fees decline considerably across the Blockchain. While the hard fork will bring many benefits, it will also delay the difficulty bomb to Dec 1st. We're going to have to wait again until ETH becomes a full-fledged cryptocurrency.

This sucks real bad, since developers keep delaying ETH 2.0 after each upgrade. I know they want to make sure the new upgrade is as secure as possible before rolling it on "mainnet". But the many delays are making people desperate as the current implementation of the ETH blockchain becomes heavily congested. If this keeps up, Binance Chain or another competitor could take down ETH's position as the leader of the smart contracts industry.

What are your thoughts? Do you like the idea of delaying the difficulty bomb after each hard fork? Do you think sometimes enough is enough? Will people get tired of ETH's inability to scale on time? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Smiley

The complexity bomb is no longer a relevant topic, because about 6 months remain until the POS algorithm
Binance Chain is not a competitor because it is a centralized blockchain with 21 validators

Ethereum has over 11,000 validators
