This is basically me, but I was looking at Ether and Litecoin as my two to buy.

I'm a fan of finding shite coins that have a real, practical application and potential..

where can I read more about pulse


so not all the details have come out yet and nothing is final...but there is a telegram where Richard goes in there and talks about it. https://t.me/PulseChainCom pinned tweets.

Here is his youtube video from yesterday where he talks about Hex first....then what's going on with Pulse (the ethereum fork) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XClX1fX672g&t=5207s

He's pinned a few tweets in there about Pulse and his thought processes.

Pulse FAQs

What is PulseChain?

PulseChain (Pulse) is the name of the new Ethereum fork Richard Heart is creating.


What is a Fork?

Forks are often created in the normal process of software development. In the blockchain world it often refers to the upgrade of an existing block chain network’s software. Forks can either be contentious or non-contentious, contentious Forks often result in two copies of the blockchain, non-contentious forks are when everyone agrees to change the software code.


Why is Richard Heart Forking the Ethereum network?

Due to some recent changes and upgrades on the Ethereum network the cost to run the HEX smart contract code is increasing to a point where it negatively impacts the HEX ecosystem. Rather than sit by and watch this happen Richard Heart has opted to take matters into his own hands and create an improved version of the Ethereum network which will be faster and cheaper than the original Ethereum network.
By doing this the PulseChain network will be Ethereum compatible and will be able to make use of many of the existing tools and infrastructure developed for the Ethereum network.


What will happen to the Existing HEX smart contract?

The existing HEX smart contract can never be changed it is immutable. It will continue to run in its current form on the Ethereum network.


How is a new HEX Contract Created?

The existing HEX smart contract will be duplicated on the new PulseChain network. This means all the existing liquid HEX and staked HEX balances will be transported across in their current state at the point in time the migration occurs.


Will we get double the amount of HEX?

As there will now be 2 HEX smart contracts running, one on the original Ethereum network, and a new one on the pulse network, you will in fact have an exact duplicate of your current HEX stakes and liquid balances on both networks.


Will I have two copies of coins or just one?

As above, yes you will have two copies one on the Ethereum network and one on the pulse network however it is important to note that the value of these two contracts and the HEX contained on them will not be the same. Once the duplication is complete the networks will operate independently of each other and the state of the stakes and liquid balances will differ from that point in time onwards.


If I end a stake on HEX (ETH) will it end on HEX (PLS)?

No, as the networks are entirely different as noted above, they will not synchronise and therefore any actions taken on one network will not impact the other.


Why would anyone move to the HEX (PLS) chain?

Much like a network fork the duplication of the HEX smart contract may or may not be contentious, depending upon the social consensus of all HEX users, we may end up with two functioning HEX smart contracts, one on the original network and one on the new PulseChain network. However, the current thinking is that the PulseChain network will be far superior and will take with it the majority of user support, existing infrastructure already built, and the value contained within the HEX ecosystem built out to date.


How much would my HEX (ETH) be worth?

There is no way to know how much the old HEX on the Ethereum network will be worth. If there is enough support garnered to continue to run that smart contract on the original network it may retain some value. History suggests that in circumstances such as this, when wide community support is for the new chain , the value of the old smart contract may go to zero. Ultimately the value of HEX on the Ethereum network will be determined by the market.


I want more details, where can I get these?

There is a lot of planning going on behind the scenes, at present we expect more details to be released towards the end of April. There is still much work to be done and all the finer details will be released as they are known. Sit tight and enjoy the ride, there will be much more discussion as this unfolds.

Pulse is coming out soon (within weeks).

You will get all your ERC20 tokens copied onto the pulse network (as long as you have them in a decentralized wallet) for free.
Pulse will be cheaper and faster than Eth


This is a really big deal.

Some are, someone has to hold the bag when whales sell.

I suppose if you are good enough to ride the wave and sell before the collapse you're better off, but man that's a hell of a risk.

Either way, this kinda shite doesn't help the perception of cryptocurrency until things like GME occur more frequently, forcing the world to realize this kinda dumb shite is just part of the market moving forward. Or until it stops


Which it probably won't.

All you gotta do is find the google out of all the promised ETH killers that have been touted for years

so, I give you the same ERC20 coins you have of Eth (for free), on pulse, which is CHEAPER AND FASTER....which chain are you going to buy and sell your tokens on?

None of the ones in your google search started out with tokens on their chain....HUGE DIFFERENCE.


The market will decide...Pulse or Eth


why am I going to pay $100 fee to buy more of a coin when I can pay pennies...and it's faster

Correct.


Has to be in a decentralized wallet. (metamask, etc.)

I'm actually interested in this. Can anyone ELI5 how to get the pulse token?

Can I get the airdrop/swap/fork/whatever theyre doing on a coinbase wallet with an ERC 20 token or will I need something else?

no, you would buy it on the pulse chain.
You can buy all the shite coins you want ( )....just won't be a $100 fee.

Ethereum wouldn't be involved

oh I see now. It just takes the existing ERC20 token and puts it on pulse instead of eth?

I was hoping to get information on how to acquire this token

lol, so you have to do this through decentralized wallet the start (i.e. metamask, etc.). In other words, go open a metamask account and send your ERC20 tokens to it.

2 ways to acquire:
1. Sacrifice faze - 30 day period where you can sacrifice certain tokens (to be named) for Pulse. You will get a larger percentage of Pulse coins the earlier you "sacrifice".
2. You can wait for Pulse to go onto the market and buy at the cost (don't know the starting price yet). This will be available after the sacrifice period is over.


The "sacrifice" phase happens first. So any ERC20 tokens sacrificed for Pulse will not be copied onto pulse chain. After the sacrifice phase, any ERC20 coins that are not sacrificed, you will get a copy of them on the pulse chain.


I believe if you have Eth in a decentralized wallet, you will get some free pulse.

Still don't know the exact details yet.

The market will decide, but it's not nearly as simple as described. ETH has a huge advantage being first in its space, and being known for the decentralization. EIP1559 and sharding have people excited for the future of ETH.

There's a reason no "eth killer" has killed eth yet... Eth has to kill itself, which it will if the devs can't get the fixes implemented.
