Bitcoin Forum

hi everyone, i have a question,  please answer  :)

at which block will the eth Constantinople hard fork occur?
should i buy eth now to get the fork? or is it too late? thanks for all the help :) :)

why does nobody ever help me or reply to my threads  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

it's not too late to buy, please buy ETH as best you can and save it in your wallet,
later when hardfork is close, there will be a lot of information born.

So, you want to buy ETH now to get the "fork" coin? If yes, I don't think the next fork will create new coin like what btc does, or at least that what i read. There is no block number about when it will happen, only date which is on 16 January 2019. From that, i don't think there will be fork coin.
Even if there will be new tokens or coin when for happen, i think you probably will receive it directly to your wallet or there will be news about it.

edit:
Ah, okay. Looks like the news that i read is not contain that thing.

I have the same concern too. I wanna get some of these tokens. My situation is that my ETH are on the MEW, is there anything I'd have to do to actually receive some of these tokens or I get automatically sent to my account  as I have Ether on it?

A lot of forks already, will it even  have a value?

in this update, ETH holders will not receive any additional coins. so buying for some kind of free distribution it is very bad idea

not too late because hardfork is expected to occur in January. my advice is better buy now, hold it because now the price is quite low. if the attention is coming soon the price of ethereum will go up, so if you don't buy now you will regret it

No, the fork will effectively create a new coin. Date of a fork is always derived from a block number and estimated block velocity, Constantinople is about to happen at block 7,080,000.

If you go to etherscan, this information is the first thing you will see. Thats why nobody is responding in the first instance.

Dude, please, be more constructive when you post and read the topic carefully.

@OP, I never knew that there will be an upcoming fork. This might be the reason why ETH maintained its value at $100-150, who knows, it might go up to $200 again.

I will reiterate what damberg have said. According to coindesk;

"the developers assembled agreed on block 7,080,000 on the ethereum blockchain as an activation point at which users would be able to elect to upgrade to the new code. Put simply, should users choose to accept the change by upgrading their software, the update would go live when the block is mined.

According to estimates by release manager for the Parity Ethereum client, Afri Schoedon, this means Constantinople is expected to go live between January 14 and 18."

EDIT:

@OP;

There is no split, it's just an upgrade. The ETH "proof-of-stake" might be near.

7080000 is the number of the block on which the update will occur. the update will be approximately January 16-19, 2019.

The hardfork at block 7080000 - current block = ..... x 14.5 seconds/block miner (+-) =.... : 86400second/24hour = xxxx day, look like on etherscan last blocks.

Note: I saw hardfork will not to produce any new coin, like old ethereum classic ETC. so an original preparing of ethereum 2.0 and under-main PoS also an including scalability (TPS/network/etc) other things the technicals

Meeting-Agenda Dev, prepare before HF Friday 04th January https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/66/

hardfork's plan will start in mid January and at this time the price isn't too high, so there's still time to start buying if you want to get a good moment to be able to sell it at a high price

From what I know, Ethereum upgrade Constantinopole won't produce a new coin. According to the developer, the upgrade is expected to make ethereum blockchain faster and efficient.

as far as I know ethereum will hardfork on Block 7,080,00.
i think It's never too late, even when ethereum prices are expensive then you can still get a chance to profit from it because there are no limits to the price of coins, including ethereum.
especially when the price is still cheap as it is now, then your chances of making a profit from it are still very high

It is never too late to buy Ethereum, especially now when the price is so low. Hard fork will happen around January 19, according to experts and I think until that time the price of Ethereum will continue to grow. Today we are already seeing an increase from the minimum values of almost 70%

a few months ago the price of ethereum plunged deeply, I realized that too much nonsense here was mainly about ico and erc20 tokens. Communities don't need garbage tokens and they throw them away. this is bad trust and difficult to return. Hardfork is a good step to improve this situation, I hope eth will come back.

I see that many here are confused with holding a rigid fork and implementing improvements in ethereum. The hard fork with the advent of the bithereum coin was planned for December 28 as a result of the merger of bitcoin and ethereum. And the introduction of various improvements in ethereum is scheduled for about January 16. I think that both events will raise the popularity and price of ethereum. I see that already now ethereum continues to rise slightly in price at the time when Bitcoin and other types of cryptocurrency are falling.

Most of the crypto hunters are concentrate in Ethereum platform, So hardfork hungriness is increase in today. I think Ethereum will going to moon in next month and all are waiting for the hardfork. I support Bitcoin cash because this hardfork was drastic change in Bitcoin cash value so many traders are earn quick profit in this platform.

It is not set yet. And I think it is not about block. It is about timing. And team still didn't publish when it will be forked. You can follow this forum or Ethereum community for fork news.

As far as I know, this is not a split hard fork, there will be no extra coin created, this hard fork is an upgrade hard fork so I don't really think you should be worry about how to get the new coin. This is not the first time I see someone asking this question and as some here replied that there will be a new coin on the other place too some replied that there will be a new coin, did I missed something? because I am pretty sure that there will be no new coin, this just an upgrade.

Even though the Constantinople upgrades may be good for the platform in general, I don't think that the market will necessarily react in the way some people predict in this thread. It may take some time until end users can realize what happened, and how this can affect the future of Ethereum. So, I wouldn't expect a significant rise in price, apart from that which can be associated with Bitcoin's price rising.

No, you were right. New coin will not be created, it is just update, not every hard fork should be followed by creating a new coin. Hard fork happens only if half of the community do not agree with something.

Core developers Ethereum agreed with Constantinople's Hard Fork and will appear in block 7,080,000 and estimated it would happen in mid-January, and because it's still December, I think you're still not too late to invest in ethereum because the price is still not too expensive while I think Hardfork will make ETH prices increase significantly so you can still benefit from that moment

You're wrong. I now carry the signature of the Ethereum Classic Vision campaign, which is paid for with an ETCV coin, which will be created as a result of the upcoming stiff fork. On the official website of this campaign it is indicated that the coin will occur on January 11 at 20:00 GMT. All Ethereum holders, including those in MyEtherWallet wallets, will receive this coin at the rate of 1: 3 for free, that is, if you have one ethereum, you will receive three Ethereum Classic Vision (ETCV) coins.

Sorry, I mixed it with another event, no split after Constantinople. Thank you for stating the correct answer.

thanks everybody i appreciate it :)

No new coin to claim, its just an upgrade.

But its a very fine coin to buy before or after the fork. Go long term with ethereum even without this fork, eth shall rise again.

As I know you don't get any tokens. It's just an update of network. But I heard that one project will give some shitcoin. In my opinion, don't think about it, just try to sell on pic before hardfork.

I see, thats why i don't see a new coin info that will be released on fork. Thanks for confirming.

hardfork will be the beginning of a pretty good for the ethereum. at least if this happens most certainly can not increase the price of the existing crypto. most hardfork could not help as before but maybe it could be after that some crypto prices will fall. But if for this purpose is hardfork ethereum improvement or development will certainly provide a good impact.

I'm sure there will be a pretty good increase when before the hard fork moment, but on the contrary the price will drop after the hard fork is finished

ETh will got hardfork and hope could make eth price will growing up later, last moment when some altcoin want to hardfork always have higher price, but we will wait for eth coul be on higher price or not.

Ugh. A lot of ideas here with different answers. Some say a new coin will be made and some say it will only be an upgrade, so no coin will be made. I have also read in some thread that it will be on December 28 (which has now passed). Whatever it is, I'll just secure my ETH.

since this is a hard fork and will most probably end up splitting ETH into two chains then we can assume there can be a pump although there has been some small signs in it but it hasn't been that much to be enough for me to make a commitment to this pump.
what i did so far was to only take advantage of the small pumps that last a very short time because of lack of interest and only make the quick profit on my bitcoins that i put in ETH and pull out right after the mini pump was over.

Ethereum will come back after the fork where it will be upgraded already. I see ethereum more stronger and effective for its users. More nonsense will still surface but the community will even become solid and stronger this time around. They just became disorganized because many of them are not true believers of ethereum like in times when it is experiencing some chaos because of erc-20 tokens using it.

Note that it is not a hard fork, it is a blockchain upgrade. Which means that the whole thing changed for the blockchain.
There is no announcement from the Vitalik yet but someone said to me that the date of the upgrade was settled up on the middle of January 2019.

He didn't wrong and you are too. He is talking about Constantinople hardfork for ETH, it's indeed will not create any new token, it's just update for ETH.

Expect the fork before January end in 2019. It is around the corner. I think the momentum is on now as you can see the price of ETH in recent time.

Last time, during the test run of Constantinople, the developers had some problems, so I would not be in a hurry to buy Ethereum before the fork hoping for a profit.

Why you do not learned from the air drops associated with Bitcoin Cash, ETH classic that you do not need to wait for free distributions. You will lost more money than earn

Thank you for answering, hope you will be getting a fine day today. However, it is an update or it is an upgrade?

no you're not late, if you want that hardfork coin then buy ethereum now because in 2019 we won't see prices like this anymore, because ethereum will upgrade their system and at that time ethereum prices will be more expensive than now.

I have seen Ethereum Classic Vision - a hard fork of ETH, any one holds ETH in personal wallet they will get 3 ETCV for each ETH. Hard fork will happen on Jan 11, 2019. I don't advice financial so let's do your own search to decide. For me now, the ETH's price isn't too high to buy.

I see a lot of interesting events concerning Ethereum are brewing. I am particularly interested in the Ethereum Classic Vision (ETCV) coin. Its scalability is projected at 25,000 transactions per second. This is pretty good. However, what other parameters she will have is not yet clear.
  At the same time, there can be improvements in ethereum that can give it a throughput rate of up to hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. That would be great at all.

Why did you decide that after the update the ethereum will not fall again below the current price? This update will not change the bear market.

that's a very difficult question to answer but if the hard-fork is real, we should buy it from now on to get a new token. BCH had a great hard-fork and it retained its value and BSV. Investing in ETH will now be quite amazing.

Actually, you can buy ethereum as long as you can and hold until the time eth recovered from drastic falls with bicoin.
Majority of crypto people now is taking a vacation while the market is not yet in the good condition. The impact can be fill in the present. One day people will loved ethereum again.

but the problem is that every day that passes a ton of new ether is mined by the miners and is injected in the market increasing the circulating supply of it and since it has no cap to slow it down or stop it at some point (unlike most coins including bitcoin) that means the increasing supply will slowly but surely push its price down in the long term.
something like what is happening to Doge coin. it used to be worth more than 500 satoshi and now it is headed for 10 and less.

You can buy ETH to get your free ETH constantinopole coin, also, there is allot of ETH hardfork that will going to happen, I am just not sure if they're all legit. But constantinopole is sure, also the serenity upgrade.

I think it is a good time to buy ETH. You can also try writing articles and such for bounty, or using signature bounty.

I assume these three upgrades are lead by three different groups of people, right? 'Cause if they are the same group, what's the use of all these updates?
By the way, thanks for clarifying, I almost mix up things. What I am happy about is that Ethereum, which is one of my loved coins, is now having these improvements which, of course, is for the betterment of its users.

It really is. I carry a signature right now about this. On January 11, Ethereum Classic Vision (ETCV) will separate from Ethereum, which will have relatively better performance than Ethereum, including at this stage the scalability of 25,000 transactions per second.
The team decided to populate this emerging coin and is holding a short action of something like ICO.
