What’s delayed? Beacon chain has been running on mainnet since last December-ish. http://beaconcha.in

The merge was going to happen by the end of this year, but miners complained https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26441399 and then it was delayed again. https://www.coinhighlight.com/2021/10/ethereum-eth-devs-look...

To be clear, it wasn't delayed because miners complained, it was delayed because it wasn't ready yet.

The merge was expedited over miner concerns, prioritizing it over sharding as originally planned, so it’s actually the opposite of what you are saying.

Sorry, I didn't mean to draw such a straight line between the two things. My point is just that it didn't happen last year, and even after being expedited, it won't happen this year either.

They’ve been saying Etherium will switch to proof of stake “soon” since like 2017!
