Title: Ethereum to Hard Fork Two More Times Following Recent Attacks
Post by: Posternut on October 14, 2016, 06:02:21 PM
It seems the Ethereum community will be initiating a hard fork once again. Actually, make that two hard forks. In an official Ethereum blog post on October 13, developer Martin Swende announced the decision to hard fork due to malicious network attacks.

With that ETH will have a never ending hard forks in the future assuming the attacks will continue over and over again.

This does not have to be a bad moment for people interested in altcoins. There is short selling available in Kraken and Poloniex. This is a good opportunity to make a profitable trade. We should always try to look at the glass half full than half empty.

This is a really good opportunity to make a profitable trade, as Turbo2 said, great news, time to buy some more ETH.
As I remember first hard fork was for homestead and there was maybe 600K block?
I think they are going to do what they need to do to move the protocol forward, because if it continues so, than in the future attacks will continue over and over again and that won't be good. Also nn the last month developers of the Go-version ethereum client Geth have released six new versions to fix the various denial of service attacks to no avail.

Ethereum has proved to be an absolute disaster and nowhere near as solid as bitcoin.

This !

And far more importantly.. it's a fucking proven scam.
No one wants to talk about that just the price and how forks etc affect the price.
NOT.. whether they should be trading it in the first place.

The Altcoin scene is a scammy ass retarded joke..

People here define a scam as any shit coin scheme project that loses them money.
..not one that is functionally scammy by design and implementation.

I have posted pictures of me lighting my money on fire instead of buying ETH.
I'd sooner flush it down the toilet.
