Moved again and again. Or maybe not
Developers of the Ethereum Foundation (EF), took part yesterday in a Reddit AMA and answered among other things questions to ETH 2.0.
A commentator Justin Drake of EF asked after the Start of the Phase 0 for ETH 2.0. The developer komemntierte that he would have some of the (listed below) four things to know before the Protocol is introduced:
A public Testnet with 3+ customers, the 2-3 months smoothly läuftEin with incentives provided “attack the network”, the 2-3 months of long runs (more details to follow soon)A Bug Bounty program, similar to bounty.ethereum.org the 2-3 months of running serious differential Fuzzing between clients
Drake:
“I am now inclined to say that the earliest practical date for Genesis, something like the 3. January 2021 is,“ around the same time as the 12. Anniversary of Bitcoin.
Drake stresses that “you have made ETH 2.0 self-difficult,” and cited an earlier Tweet:

In the meantime, Vitalik Buterin jumped in the comments to his point of view way. He is sticking to the earlier schedule of a launch in the year 2020:
“Eth 1 took 4 months from the first Multi-Client-Testnet is up to the Start, and I would argue that the Four-month clock started ticking for us in the beginning of July, as Altona started.”
Altona-Testnet is an “amazing” development
Buterin, according to the ETH 2.0 is stage Zero a little easier, and that the Protocol “will have up to Phase 1, no critical applications that depend on it”, so the practical risks of breakage are lower.
Against this Background, he added:
“All in All, I see no reason to need for the introduction of cycle of the Phase 0 of eth2 longer than for the introduction of eth1.”
Buterin said that the Altona test network ran successfully (to the 11. June). And:
“It would be perfectly fine to have two customers at the market, and to increase the time a few months after the market introduction at 3-4.”
