Title: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Harkorede on January 15, 2019, 10:06:07 PM The much anticipated upgrade to Ethereum network is set to be delayed yet again to a yet to be known date due to critical vulnerabilities discovered on the to be implemented upgrade, according to Coindesk.
Quote from: https://www.coindesk.com/ethereums-constantinople-upgrade-faces-delay-due-to-security-vulnerability Smart contract audit firm ChainSecurity flagged Tuesday that Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1283, if implemented, could provide attackers a loophole in the code to steal user funds. Speaking on a call, ethereum developers, as well as developers of clients and other projects running the network, agreed to delay the hard fork – at least temporarily – while they assessed the issue. Participants included ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin, developers Hudson Jameson, Nick Johnson and Evan Van Ness, and Parity release manager Afri Schoedon, among others. A new fork date will be decided during another ethereum dev call on Friday. Discussing the vulnerability online, the project’s core developers reached the conclusion that it would take too long to fix the bug prior to the hard fork, which was expected to execute at around 04:00 UTC on Jan. 17. Called a reentrancy attack, the vulnerability essentially allows an attacker to “reenter” the same function multiple times without updating the user about the state of affairs. Under this scenario, an attacker could essentially be “withdrawing funds forever,” said Joanes Espanol, CTO of blockchain analytics firm Amberdata in a previous interview with CoinDesk. He explained: “Imagine that my contract has a function which makes a call to another contract… If I’m a hacker and I’m able to trigger function a while the previous function was still executing, I might be able to withdraw funds.” Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: coinbirds on January 15, 2019, 10:27:06 PM This is not a good news for ETH as we were waiting for the development upgrades for too long and that was reflected on the price as well.
And why the delay at the last moment, but anyway the update should be done properly and on a secure way. So it if could cause a loophole in the code for the attackers and the funds would be in danger with the fork then the only solution was to postpone the event. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: el_lobo on January 15, 2019, 10:27:37 PM If the fork is moved a few days, it certainly will not change much.
After all, this bug has been found on time and will certainly be fixed quickly. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Harkorede on January 15, 2019, 10:40:39 PM If the fork is moved a few days, it certainly will not change much. After all, this bug has been found on time and will certainly be fixed quickly. I don't think so, as it has been stated already that in the article that the vulnerabilities can not be fixed before the upgrade would launch and that's what brought the delay but, hopefully it wouldn't takes as long as the first postponement took to get an estimated date for the upgrade. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Felipeo on January 15, 2019, 10:51:57 PM Yeah it is a legit news. After all this hype it is delayed. After ico market go down ethereum price is rapidly dropping. After many days devs decided to develop ethereum to ethereum is 2.0 and the hardfork. So ethereum price is pumped a bit. But now it is cancelled at least for niw due to security problem. Ethereum is a very legit project so you don't have to worry about it. It is better to solve the security problem first. I think they took a great decision. But the problem is after this news we can see some unexpected price drop on market. That will be very bad. Let's see what happens and hope for the best.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Piskeante on January 15, 2019, 10:55:45 PM a big fall of ETH is incoming after big whales smell fear on investors (the little left).
This is no good news for investors.Probably good for trully believer miners. But for a guy like me, that wants this market destroyed to ashes, this is actually good news. This will imply more coins on the market. The more coins, the less value. GG ETH. Game over. UPDATE: I had not seen the value of ETH. It's dropping a 7% right now. Hope it goes to 0. all the coins. This manipulated market should die, and erase the manipulators from the earth. If people cannot play the game, the game should be destroyed. 2nd UPDATE: ETH will be punished with this fork. a 51% attack will be possible once almost 80% of miners quit. GG ETH devs. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: bittick on January 15, 2019, 11:12:58 PM The much anticipated upgrade to Ethereum network is set to be delayed yet again to a yet to be known date due to critical vulnerabilities discovered on the to be implemented upgrade, according to Coindesk. It's better rather than nothing, we know first update in the last year has been successfully implemented. It might get a little delay because there must be another stage to check the possibilities of another vulnerability in any EIP.Quote from: https://www.coindesk.com/ethereums-constantinople-upgrade-faces-delay-due-to-security-vulnerability Smart contract audit firm ChainSecurity flagged Tuesday that Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1283, if implemented, could provide attackers a loophole in the code to steal user funds.

That will be very bad. Let's see what happens and hope for the best. This kind of changes usually trigger speculative pumps and dumps. Imho the growth was triggered by the news the block reward will decrease. So the delay, if the result is a properly fixed code, will not be visible on the overall trend - as soon as the fix is done (or even a bit earlier) the initial trend/growth should at least continue. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: jessyj48 on January 16, 2019, 08:07:43 AM What? No! This is not what we need this year ,its just the beginning of a new year and all this is happening ? Bakkt got postponed and now ethereum fork upgrade? This is a very bad news and I hope it will happen so soon we need more good news this year to reach new height

This is a very bad news and I hope it will happen so soon we need more good news this year to reach new height It's a lot better than the alternative -- pushing forward with an exploitable bug that could ruin the price a lot further than a delay. As the field of cryptocurrency investing matures, it will become more a game of patience, just like any other reasonable investment category. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: chairmanMao on January 16, 2019, 08:28:23 AM This is very embarrassing. Such news is not good for Ethereum. Although I think Ethereum will not be affected too much, I believe this upgrade is very good for Ethereum. Otherwise, the status of Ethereum in the future may be surpassed. .
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Dellosoft on January 16, 2019, 08:35:26 AM This information is legitimate. I saw the update from Vitalik Buterin's tweet, so it's official news. All hands being on deck, Ethereum foundation is doing everything possible to ensure the upgrade comes to fruition. Everyone is anticipating Ethereum 2.0 .
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: percy_tc on January 16, 2019, 08:44:03 AM Postponed upgrade is much better than security fail update. Take it easy.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: antsam on January 16, 2019, 08:47:29 AM Very terrible vulnerability found, better to be arrested for hardfork than a failure occurs and funds can be stolen. Delay is better than a failure that makes the value later becomes meaningless
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: corrado25 on January 16, 2019, 08:50:31 AM And this is not the first time such a pig from the ETH team.This is what year they promise us, and then they do not.And what should think of people who invest money in ETH or are thinking of investing ?
Each of these transfers reduces trust in the team. It also reflects on the eth price Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Kolikalex55 on January 16, 2019, 08:53:05 AM The much anticipated upgrade to Ethereum network is set to be delayed yet again to a yet to be known date due to critical vulnerabilities discovered on the to be implemented upgrade, according to Coindesk. I think this is good news for Ethereum, because I've made sure once again that Ethereum has a great development team that has found the problem and prevented the disaster. In any case, the hard fork will be very soon.Quote from: https://www.coindesk.com/ethereums-constantinople-upgrade-faces-delay-due-to-security-vulnerability Smart contract audit firm ChainSecurity flagged Tuesday that Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1283, if implemented, could provide attackers a loophole in the code to steal user funds.

We should expect some delays just to ensure hackers cannot breach on our funds and accounts. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: dewildance on January 16, 2019, 08:56:49 AM Recently, it was started to be discussed that fork timing is not good. Although there are security vulnerabilities as a reason, I think it is postponed due to the market situation.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: rosezionjohn on January 16, 2019, 08:59:37 AM Let us not sacrifice security over impatience here. Things don't always go as planned but I am glad that the team decided to postpone rather than push thru with that risk.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: ribowo76 on January 16, 2019, 09:03:30 AM At the very least, that is immediately known. And the development team immediately took action, so as not to cause uncertainty. Hopefully this can be resolved soon, and does not cause adverse effects on ethereum

I will wait for good and proper things to defend.

Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Bagani on January 16, 2019, 09:27:12 AM This is not good for ethereum, they go back again at third place in coinmarketcap after all this security issue. Every holder of ethereum almost dump their holdings because of this, everyone is in fear of holding ethereum. Also to point out the two hardforks that looks like scam and didn't help at all.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: A7373 on January 16, 2019, 09:50:02 AM This is very bad news in such a market. It is clear that the company can do its best, but many people would sell.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: nreal on January 16, 2019, 10:21:54 AM A bad news, but anyway security issues have been discovered and will be fixed. It will be a big problem if Eth continues to be upgraded with a security issue.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: tonibyuzen on January 16, 2019, 10:40:13 AM Yes, I have already read this news and it really upset me. We have been waiting for Ethereum network improvements for a long time, but once again the update is postponed. But on the other hand, we can be happy that the Ethereum team is responsible for its project and users. We must not forget that there are many projects on the Ethereum blockchain and the network update will affect each of them. Therefore, security and remediation of critical vulnerabilities should be a priority.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: vova.andreyan.94 on January 16, 2019, 10:53:09 AM The news is certainly not happy, but still says that the team is seriously working on their product, and this inspires confidence!

So it if could cause a loophole in the code for the attackers and the funds would be in danger with the fork then the only solution was to postpone the event.

Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Cloud_miner on January 16, 2019, 11:49:26 AM If this is actually the case, then for ethereum can come very bad times. At present, the actual price of ethereum cannot be called optimistic, and after such news, the cost of ethereum can even decrease and lead to the fact that even the most optimistic investors will prefer to get rid of it.

Only the amount of money you can get from this coin. ETH devs have never said how many smart contracts they have signed, and how much money , I MEAN REAL MONEY, is it worth this technology. Reality is that probably ETH and it's cap is around 100 times more valuable that the actual value. The coin is 100 times more valued for it's speculative value, than the real value of the technology. Pump and dump scheme has been going on for a year. I had been (i must say it), one of the very little people that have said, by april 2018, that this was going to end in a disaster. Go check my posts by that time if you don't believe me. Speculators need coins to be pumping and dumping. A stable value of coins gives them no profit. If you are able to control a coin, by getting rid of trully believers investors, what's left? the manipulation. Simple as that. CENTRALIZED COINS, are quite the opposite of what this market was created. Decentralization and anonimity where the bases. Now , none of the two can be called that way anymore. you may be right. But when a market loses 80% value over a year, either you or me can be "on the spot". Investors see crypto as a huge black hole. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: levyashin on January 16, 2019, 12:38:51 PM It will probably harm the price in short term but it is good they are delaying it to make it better.

We should be calm Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Fury Road on January 16, 2019, 01:48:13 PM I guess it's good that they found it before hardfork, if they considered to delay hardfork, it's ok. We should patiently wait, because blockchain is not a trivial system. and people who are working in the field of IT technology compeletely understand dev team of ETH.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: none of us on January 16, 2019, 02:09:09 PM hmmm, good that the error was found, but bad that the update is delayed. i thought the update could push the price up again, but now we'll probably have to wait.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: martin1221 on January 16, 2019, 02:12:18 PM I also read about it online too. The much-awaited Constantinople hard fork will be delayed due to security issues found by the security auditing firm hired by ethereum. Though this news will create negative impact on the platform, I am still glad that ethereum team delayed to fix it than to be quiet about it and then be a big problem later on.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: jyotianand01 on January 16, 2019, 02:17:06 PM It is good that vulnerabilities are detected before this hard fork otherwise it will create huge problem if these problems will detected after this happen. It will make negative impact on ethereum for short term but it will be back in momentum after this problem sorted out and fork will happen.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Nivia1st on January 16, 2019, 02:20:36 PM yesterday I saw news about hacking cryptopia or now there is news about Constantinople being delayed. this month seems to be very bad. but this delay is better than being forced to become a new problem.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: thefoex on January 16, 2019, 02:28:51 PM a new drama for ethereum. when everyone thinks of this hardfork the ethereum market can be better, it turns out at the last moment it is delayed. I think it seems that with this hardfork postponement the market will get worse in the future.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: AgentZero23 on January 16, 2019, 07:32:28 PM The delayed and the announcement was handled in a mature way and I applaud the Ethereum team for that. It's good to delay the update and fix the bug first and kudos to the team of developers who managed to saw the bug before the constantinople went live. I read somewhere the constantinople will be implemented this Friday.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: bartusv on January 16, 2019, 09:48:15 PM This isn`t a flaw in the ETH coin, it`s a potential smart contract flow. Ethereum team decided to push back the release
in light of security issues. This was the only rational decision they could do. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Denreal on January 16, 2019, 10:36:44 PM This delay has can bring about denial and that can cause the price of ETH to plummet more.
This has even reflect in the downtrend that has just been experienced. I am just trying to see if the price will be sustained at the present stage it is. Well, if it plunges, it will be an opportunity for me to buy more. I was not expecting this to happen. Since they knew they were not ready, they should not have even announced. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: BigBrother on January 16, 2019, 11:37:57 PM Strange of course why they decided to move the fork at the last moment. But let's see what happens next. So far, I have not seen any significant changes in the price of Ethereum and I think that it will be able to withstand this. In any case, I will continue to believe in him.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: triangles on January 16, 2019, 11:42:05 PM it is better to postpone the problem if indeed what is said is true the potential loss that will be caused by hackers will definitely reach hundreds of millions of dollars, hopefully after they do the update there are no vulnerable in ethereum
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: michellee on January 17, 2019, 09:12:15 AM Delay again? Arrggghhh, I don't know what will happen in a few days later, if this makes some traders get mad, they will dump ethereum too deep. But I am sure that more people want to hold the price to not getting the drop. But who knows what will happen in the market later. And now, I see ethereum is going to go down again after yesterday can get strong for a while.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Turkish88 on January 17, 2019, 09:16:11 AM Yes i am also ask the same question, if they know about problem and know what she cant fix it to the 16th, why they anounce postpone in the last moment?
Its move my mind to the meaning what update not complete and maybe never cant be implemented Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: pinoyden on January 17, 2019, 09:19:38 AM it is better to postpone the problem if indeed what is said is true the potential loss that will be caused by hackers will definitely reach hundreds of millions of dollars, hopefully after they do the update there are no vulnerable in ethereum thats a no good . postponing the fork could lead to an even more dips in the price of eth because the hodlers of eth will not have a reason to hodl thier coins if there now forks to occur at all . forks are really beneficial to update the cryptos and to add a significant price hike as well . and why do you think hackers will loose hundreds of dollars ? hmm thats strange . hackers wont loose because hackers do only earn from their illegal activities . Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: lllaqpt on January 17, 2019, 02:35:23 PM Yes i am also ask the same question, if they know about problem and know what she cant fix it to the 16th, why they anounce postpone in the last moment? I also do not understand this, why it was impossible to inform about the transfer long before the appointed date, why do everything at the last moment, only the price collapsedIts move my mind to the meaning what update not complete and maybe never cant be implemented Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Prompyboo on January 17, 2019, 02:42:59 PM Yes i am also ask the same question, if they know about problem and know what she cant fix it to the 16th, why they anounce postpone in the last moment? Most likely it will. I think that Ethereum has faced serious technological problems and now they do not know how to solve themIts move my mind to the meaning what update not complete and maybe never cant be implemented Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: raptorez on January 17, 2019, 03:24:42 PM You noticed that the deadlines were delayed, and it seemed to me that the deadlines were not just delayed.

The fact is that the developers were hoping that prices would have a more serious scope, but nothing happened and this is sad. I think it's not because of the price. Vitalik Buterin never interested in the price of Ethereum. I think that updating is just technologically impossible.Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: bountylayomi on January 17, 2019, 04:57:09 PM Now I get the clear picture to why ethereum has been dipping in price in the market. Well, it is very nice of the team to have took the bold step of delaying the hard fork than for many wallet to have been attached. There will be light at the end of the tunnel...
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: belli4388 on January 17, 2019, 05:03:47 PM has not even been launched and have already been found vulnerabilities, we have to trust? they should postpone the fork indefinitely until it is perfect in terms of security Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: owlman on January 17, 2019, 05:38:00 PM On the one hand, this is bad news, as the price of ETH started to decline slightly, because many people were waiting for this, but now the launch of the hard forks has been postponed, but on the other hand, it’s better now to postpone the launch and fix all the vulnerabilities so that this update will have a positive impact on eth network and on its price.

I think what do you do, because if you remove the updates and then fix the problems will be more difficult. So it is better to postpone the update and resolve all issues related to security.Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: frost_wind on January 17, 2019, 05:55:39 PM I'm not surprised . This has already become a tradition for developers of the ethereum - first announce something, and then endlessly endure. Smart traders have already managed to make good money on this news about the fork and something tells me that Vitalik Buterin was one of those who earned the most from this
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Omela44 on January 17, 2019, 06:05:27 PM Really not nice that the update has been delayed. Many people have certainly been waiting for it, like me. I thought it would start a new era for ethereum and now we have to wait for it.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Ambers on January 17, 2019, 06:08:11 PM I wonder how it turns out that this bug is reported to us on the eve of the fork. Did they not know about it before? Why did they need so much time to talk about it. It is very similar to the fact that the team of the ethereum manipulates the price of a coin using such sudden informational messages.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Geenstijl on January 17, 2019, 06:11:53 PM Actually it's a big luck to find out the vulnerability BEFORE the fork, otherwise it would lead to terrible consequences. Ethereum network has become so huge so it's very difficult to predict the stability after any changes.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: #Darren on January 17, 2019, 06:15:20 PM They have already postponed the hardfork release and now it is happening again. It is pretty hard to believe that one day before the hardfork they have detected a critical code mistake. Hope they will finally release it one day..
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Aleksandra Gurskaya on January 17, 2019, 06:46:12 PM Very unexpected and unpleasant news. But for some reason there is still no official confirmation of this news. It seems to me all this manipulation, let's see how these days will be
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: michellee on January 22, 2019, 09:59:24 AM After I think about the delayed, I realize that it's better to make sure that the update doesn't contain any error that might cause a bigger problem in the future. And I think with delaying the update, it will give ethereum teams to investigate what they miss on the update and I hope that they can fix the bug soon and they can launch the update which many people are waiting. It's better to search and scanning the problem before it's launch than after because it's too risky for the network itself.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: D3m1r4wanti on January 22, 2019, 10:33:45 AM why is this delayed? is it for price reasons? or is it in accordance with the plan of the team?
very unfortunate if the project that has been waiting for is delayed. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: dnovsckym on January 22, 2019, 10:43:35 AM The team has already announced that the launch of the update was postponed to the end of February, it seems to me that there will be no more problems!
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: tonibyuzen on January 22, 2019, 11:19:12 AM Despite the fact that we already know the date of the new update of the Ethereum network, which will take place approximately on February 27 at block 7 280 000. Many users fear for the safety of the cryptocurrency network in the future, including me. Lowering the block mining reward will result in a drop in the profitability of Ethereum mining, which is low at a cryptocurrency cost of $120.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Volk-05 on January 22, 2019, 12:31:26 PM It seemed to me to postpone the launch was the right decision, it helped to avoid many problems that could then arise!

Ethereum hardfork is what the investors are desperately looking of as there might be some changes in the market value.. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Bot Asem on March 01, 2019, 03:27:59 PM This hardfork process will make the cryto world chaos a bit like its price that can go down with ease and also the outstanding issues surrounding a coin cryptocurrency. We recommend that this process be completed immediately to avoid troubling FUD. :( :(
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: judyrob on March 01, 2019, 04:20:09 PM Nothing happened, Eth was still at a low level and not a surprising increase.
This correction only maintains not to fall too deeply, hoping to understand this situation. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: claus-rich on March 01, 2019, 04:23:17 PM I thought that the price of Ethereum will go up. But this did not happen. I'm a little disappointed in the fork. But I believe that the project has become better.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: yrrehc16 on March 01, 2019, 04:28:41 PM Ethereum Constantinople already done?
There will be no free coins on the said FORK and will still be using the old system. they said that the Constantinople can be experienced in the short future. not now. is that true? Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Loedong on March 01, 2019, 04:49:01 PM the reason is plausible but if possible, it would be better if ethereum did not delay hardfork because many people bought ethereum because of hardfork issues and if hardfork continued to be postponed, people would be bored and would not believe the issues related to hardfork ethereum and the effect was ethereum volume and prices will not increase even when the harfork will occur and that means that ethereum has lost their pump trigger
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Tipstar on March 01, 2019, 04:49:15 PM It would be better to test everything before implementing any new forks. Any devastating errors would put the development backwards. We have seen how unplanned EOS shift had caused problems in their blockchain. Ethereum developers should try to avoid any such critical issues or loopholes that can be exploited by anyone.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: angel55 on March 01, 2019, 04:56:49 PM We keep hearing good news but the price continues to fall, this is very disappointing. This has been a very rough time for crypto investors and hopefully things change soon for the better.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: bassbity on March 01, 2019, 05:19:07 PM They kept delaying Hardfork until when did this happen? I'm here waiting for the uncertain and don't know the date? Is there after an increase in hardfork with the price of ethereum?
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: pandanaran on March 01, 2019, 05:44:16 PM They kept delaying Hardfork until when did this happen? I'm here waiting for the uncertain and don't know the date? Is there after an increase in hardfork with the price of ethereum? Many specific reasons why they delay Hardfork Ethereum may be due to market conditions and there are still many shortcomings that have not been found. This update aims to improve the quality of the new system or system in transactions, and in my opinion this will affect the price of Ethereum itself at a higher level. Whatever the update is and when it's finished, I hope it doesn't get off track and remains safe for all users.Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: dosSantos on March 01, 2019, 05:49:48 PM I think this is a big step in the development of the project.

It seems to me that now the project has become more modern. I hope that this will positively affect the price of the coin. First of all, the value of the erc20 platform should increase due to the scaling of the block chain. This turn will attract more investment and interesting project to this platform. In any case, soon we must observe the results of all the team updates.Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: natka on March 01, 2019, 07:42:06 PM I think this is a big step in the development of the project.

And there was no chain split and the eth rewards decreased for miners from 3 eth to 2 eth. The best thing about that update is the cheaper gas fee and the lowest gas fee was 0.005 usd and it really a big improvement.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Aponkye1 on March 01, 2019, 08:56:47 PM I think currently the hardfork has already taken place and all the security issues has been fixed. All looks good with the network and hopefully i wish to see the price of Ethereum rise gradually since the block reward has been reduced to 2.04ETH.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: terra_vival on March 01, 2019, 09:51:40 PM Finally, the Ethereum update happened and we are seeing the expansion of the network, improvement of security, reduction of the Commission. I think in the course of time we will see new opportunities for good work done by the Ethereum project team.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: high110 on March 01, 2019, 10:31:39 PM Finally, a platform update has occurred. Now it is important that there are no major errors. This is a good update. Small commissions are very important for Dapps. A reduced block reward can have a positive effect on the price of a coin.

Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: miropp on March 01, 2019, 10:49:38 PM The news about the Ethereum fork provoked a small growth in the market. But in fact it is bad that it is constantly postponed. But maybe it's for the best.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: kewlc3s on March 01, 2019, 10:50:52 PM Update is live.. And what can we say?
Commission fee for transfer reduced a lot. Speed - not sure. Price increase - no. Price is "stable" fork added just about 3% for few hours. As a big fan of ETH I believe team made great job and ETH will become just stronger Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: the1arty on March 01, 2019, 11:08:39 PM The much anticipated upgrade to Ethereum network is set to be delayed yet again to a yet to be known date due to critical vulnerabilities discovered on the to be implemented upgrade, according to Coindesk. Quote from: https://www.coindesk.com/ethereums-constantinople-upgrade-faces-delay-due-to-security-vulnerability Smart contract audit firm ChainSecurity flagged Tuesday that Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1283, if implemented, could provide attackers a loophole in the code to steal user funds. Speaking on a call, ethereum developers, as well as developers of clients and other projects running the network, agreed to delay the hard fork – at least temporarily – while they assessed the issue. Participants included ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin, developers Hudson Jameson, Nick Johnson and Evan Van Ness, and Parity release manager Afri Schoedon, among others. A new fork date will be decided during another ethereum dev call on Friday. Discussing the vulnerability online, the project’s core developers reached the conclusion that it would take too long to fix the bug prior to the hard fork, which was expected to execute at around 04:00 UTC on Jan. 17. Called a reentrancy attack, the vulnerability essentially allows an attacker to “reenter” the same function multiple times without updating the user about the state of affairs. Under this scenario, an attacker could essentially be “withdrawing funds forever,” said Joanes Espanol, CTO of blockchain analytics firm Amberdata in a previous interview with CoinDesk. He explained: “Imagine that my contract has a function which makes a call to another contract… If I’m a hacker and I’m able to trigger function a while the previous function was still executing, I might be able to withdraw funds.” Yes, it was delayed. However, it happened yesterday, the price did not reflect at all. Now we are waiting for next hardfork - Istanbul, which is planned to happen in late October according to their roadmap. Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Felipeo on March 01, 2019, 11:13:24 PM Ethereum is a platform based token and at this moment ethereum is the most popular and used token. But at this moment somehow price of ethereum bettering low for many issue. The main thing is the market is down So did the whole ico market is. And then competition is very high. And ethereum already has some scalability and technical issue. And in ethereum 2.0 they are gonna resolve and remade the issues. They also works on ten fees and transaction speed.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Siti Nurbaya on March 01, 2019, 11:26:10 PM We see Eth is popular and many communities believe and put Eth in hope because it deserves to continue to grow and has its own advantages. A trip that is able to provide a fork and this can maintain its quality so that it has different and better uses.
Title: Re: Ethereum Constantinople Hard fork to be delayed Post by: Impaler on March 02, 2019, 09:37:31 AM No it is not delayed now it was already done very successfully. But yeah it was delaying. Ethereum got some serious issues regarding scalability and ten related issues. And in ethereum 2.0 or in Constantinople they done it. The date for the hard form was 28th maybe . and its already over. I think after this hard fork we will see some improvement in etheethereum. Mainly the transaction issues. And now after the fork many more project will com if ethereum really developed. Hope for best and hope that ethereum will recover its price again with market.
