## Simple Summary
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document proposes to improve the uniformity of ether distribution
|
||
|
|
between wallet address `0xAb5801a7D398351b8bE11C439e05C5B3259aeC9B` and
|
||
|
|
wallet address `0x15E55EF43efA8348dDaeAa455F16C43B64917e3c` which are
|
||
|
|
currently experiencing a significant non-uniformity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Abstract
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of the date of this EIP, the difference in balance between
|
||
|
|
address `0xAb5801a7D398351b8bE11C439e05C5B3259aeC9B` and address
|
||
|
|
`0x15E55EF43efA8348dDaeAa455F16C43B64917e3c` is far from equitable
|
||
|
|
or uniform, with the former having more than 365,000 ether
|
||
|
|
more than the latter. The distribution of ether between these two
|
||
|
|
addresses must be improved in order to protect the Ethereum economy
|
||
|
|
from centralized control. This will be accomplished by transferring
|
||
|
|
100,000 ether from the former address to the latter. This is a properly
|
||
|
|
motivated improvement in keeping with the core Ethereum philosophy of
|
||
|
|
decentralization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Motivation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This proposal is necessary because the Ethereum protocol does not allow
|
||
|
|
the owner of an address which does not own an equitable amount of ether
|
||
|
|
to claim their share of ether from an address which owns a dangerously
|
||
|
|
centralized quantity. Rather than proposing an overly complicated generic
|
||
|
|
mechanism for any user to claim ether to which they believe they are
|
||
|
|
equitably entitled, this proposal will take the simple route of a one-time
|
||
|
|
transfer of 100,000 ether from `0xAb5801a7D398351b8bE11C439e05C5B3259aeC9B`
|
||
|
|
to `0x15E55EF43efA8348dDaeAa455F16C43B64917e3c`. This avoids duplicating
|
||
|
|
the effort of other proposals and provides a net improvement to the
|
||
|
|
Ethereum project and community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Specification
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The balance of `0xAb5801a7D398351b8bE11C439e05C5B3259aeC9B` will be decreased
|
||
|
|
by 100,000 ether. The balance of `0x15E55EF43efA8348dDaeAa455F16C43B64917e3c`
|
||
|
|
will be increased by 100,000 ether. No net change in the amount of extant
|
||
|
|
ether will occur unless at the time of implementation the former address does not
|
||
|
|
contain sufficient ether for such a deduction.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Rationale
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The value 100,000 was chosen after careful technically sound analysis of various economic theories
|
||
|
|
developed over the past century. In spite of the fact that it is a convenient round
|
||
|
|
number, it is actually the exact output of a complex statistical process iterated to
|
||
|
|
determine the optimal distribution of ether between these addresses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Backwards Compatibility
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Clients that fail to implement this change will not be aware of the correct balances
|
||
|
|
for these addresses. This will create a hard fork. The implementation of this change
|
||
|
|
consistently among all clients as intended by the proposal process will be sufficient
|
||
|
|
to ensure that backwards compatibility is not a concern.
