Ethereum devs discussing possible casper test net!
Vitalik Buterin announced in their recent meeting on Ethereum that Casper is far enough along that a new test net for casper development should be rolling out soon! Vitalik hinted that the code is mature enough to begin rolling out real world test to prepare for the next big upgrade to Ethereum! Remember this is NOT ready for the real main net yet but rather a sign that development is progressing.

# What is Casper?
Casper is the name given to the next expected protocol upgrade in Ethereum that will transition the network from Proof of Work as it currently is, to Proof of Stake. The goal of Casper is to allow the Ethereum network to scale while reducing the costs to operate the network.

The developers in the meeting  indicated that they have fully implemented in Python a release they hope to begin testing soon!

# Take aways
My opinion is this is great news, but still indicates Casper is many months, possibly years away from even discussions of a hard fork to include Casper in the main net. I would say this is over all good news but not news that will drive the price of Ether higher today. We will have to wait and see!

Up-Voted for showing blockchain future in scaling....helping ETH become more efficient like Steem perhap?

Anyways, thought I would bless you with a pretty cool (and rare) link. 

BernieSanders is giving out >$1 in free Steem (for 8 seconds of work) to everyone to post today (Friday only), if you don't know this dope-badass--whale has over >1Million SP. Better go check it out, do a quick post, and get some easy Steem

See my reply below to # bernieblackfriday it shows some funny/absurd post&replies, don't miss out:

Thank you for the info! I had been following this change of PoW to PoS. I wonder what the mining implications will be across the crypto space.
