  3. Honestly, that to me is the same as saying "Steam-Powered horse-carriages are our hope," when everyone has been switching from buggies to automobiles already.

    The technology of Ethereum-pow and Ethereum-pos are exactly the same for anyone who uses them

    I know because I actually use both of them

    Ethereum-pos on the other hand has censorship so if you were born and live in the wrong location or if someone dust attacks your wallet address with a sanctioned project, i.e. Tornado Cash, then you'll be punished

    But people who don't have any clue because they don't actually use the crypto asset in its pure blockchain form make uninformed comments and think they are very smart

    Censored Ethereum Blocks Hit the 51% Threshold Over the Past 24 Hours
    Censorship has been a growing concern within the Ethereum ecosystem, especially since the advent of MEV-Boost after the Merge.
    https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/...-hit-the-51-threshold-over-the-past-24-hours/

    The Ethereum blockchain reached a new censorship milestone Friday when 51% of the blocks produced over the last 24 hours followed the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) compliance recommendations.

    With that, the majority of the blocks over the past day were delivered by relays that screened out transactions associated with Tornado Cash – a service that mixes transactions to make them anonymous – to comply with OFAC after it banned Americans from using the mixing protocol.

    Maximal extractable value (MEV) refers to the rewards that block builders and validators receive from reordering transactions within a block. Flashbots, an Ethereum-based research and development team, has been working on ways to curb the potential harms of MEV extraction by building MEV-Boost, a piece of software that allows validators to request blocks from a network of builders via a middleman called a relay.

    Anyone can build a relay to pass MEV-optimized blocks from builders to the validators that propose them out to the wider network.

    The most popular relay by far is the one built and maintained by Flashbots itself. And herein lies the controversy – unlike some other relay providers, the Flashbots relay refuses to pass along blocks containing transactions from sanctioned addresses.

    Moreover, of the five MEV-Boost relay providers only two of them, Manifold and bloXroute, provide non-censoring options.

    As of writing, 57% of all blocks validated on the Ethereum blockchain used the MEV-Boost software. And of those blocks, nearly 81% of them were done via Flashbots’ relay, meaning they all excluded Tornado Cash transactions.

    *** NFA - post is for entertainment purposes only ***

    This is the best DeFi project I've come across. Luckily it's on the Ethereum-pow chain and is relatively undiscovered or more accurate to say is untouchable by the VC's and whales

    More time for me and others to accumulate through yield farming and buying the dips, had 2 short-lived dips I was able to take advantage of

    Price of UniW tokens when I posted it here was 98 cents, currently over $1.40, plus over 4%/day "dividend"

    Lower APR now as more farmers are coming in but when I first started I was getting over 1500% APR, boosted 10% because I purchased and staked a UniW Punk NFT staked on my farm

    Good profits so far on the position but no plans to sell anytime soon

    As a bonus, was able to participate on an oversubscribed IDO on UniWPad launchpad, 600% roi, but it was very much oversubscribed so less than 15% of investment was accepted, the rest returned as refund
