Previously, Ethereum Hard Fork Constantinople was scheduled for January 16, 2019, at block 7,080,000, which got postponed due to a vulnerability (allowing reentrancy) in Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1283, which has been explained in a detailed way in the latter part of the article. So, at a core Ethereum devs meeting, it has been decided that Ethereum hard fork Constantinople would finally happen on 27th of February, 2019, at block number 7,280,000.

We have seen similar happenings during or before Bitcoin Cash hard fork, wherein the other cryptocurrencies suffered for quite a bit of time. It is hard to predict the long-term impact of a hard fork and its evident that ETH is in a very critical phase now, as its going through a significant transition phase.

Let me know your thought on this..

Probit- I also saw an announcement by Probit Exchange that they would be supporting the hardfork as well, infact all major exchanges seem to be supporting the hardfork and the smaller ones are following their leads.

I love the fact that major exchanges are supporting the hardfork but personally I believe in keeping my own funds secured by me and this is why I would be keeping my ethereum in my personal wallet during the snapshot.

Ethereum fork is going to take place on the upcoming 10 days.. how will ethereum perform? how peoples and icos will react to the new system!?
there is a big hope that ethereum will pump hard.

I think the Ethereum Constantinople hard fork news information is a welcome development to the entire cryptocurrency community, i  believe this development would boost the price of Ethereum in the cryptocurrency market. Thanks

Such a number of exchanges are ready to provide support to ethereum, this clearly means that even if a bad situation occurs, they will all try to soften it!

Why no Bittrex on that list? https://twitter.com/BittrexExchange/status/1082731168955592706

As far as I know, there are more exchanges that is going to support the hardfork.

This fork is an update. So there is no splitted tokens/coins. Etheruem will develop their network basis from POW to POS.

So all exchanges should be support this fork or delist it.

The test experiment were not successful if I remember correctly and accordingly hard fork was extended one more month.
I do not think the exchange will refuse their earnings. ETH is in the second place after Bitcoin in the market and not to accepting it is not to accepting cryptocurrency.

Yeap , it's near and market and the market responds very positively to this. All the assets are green and ethereum is creeping up on this news very cheerfully. I hope this time they will succeed and there will no longer be any delays in the hard-fork implementation.

I hope that everything will go well, without errors, now it is very important that such a large project has no noticeable bugs in the update.

In anticipation of hard forks, we see that the market responded well with growth. It is likely that growth will last until February 28.

I hope the upgrade won't have any problem at all. Hoping that they have resolve the vulnerability they have seen with the upgrade. I really can't wait to see how ethereum will perform with the first one out of the series of upgrade. Also, it is nice to know that major exchanges fully support the hard fork.

very interesting news in my personal opinion, this is very useful news, for a crypto trader, with the Ethereum Hard Fork Constantinople scheduled, then the value of the purchase of coins will experience an increase in purchases, I personally will immediately investigate it, to each exchange, once again, be patient to wait for the problem to be finished in the hardfork process, I think positively about this news, profit is the main target, thank you for the information.

I think it makes lot of sense to say this is why Ethereum price is boosting without the upgrade yet ,I wonder how everything will go after the Constantinople fork ,but I trust vitalik and his team ,this is a step that will definitely make ETH stand out among the rest like tron and neo,no other better smart contract blockchain coin

Thank you so much for your valuable opinion.
Its a big Yes for me, a great opportunity to buy or invest on ethereum because the price is still cheaper today and I believe that ethereum will be more profitable in the future if we HODL it for years.

I think that Constantinople will still be initiated despite the problems with the update code. Infinitely postpone, too, can not.

All exchanges and services will do, it's logical, they don't have another option either. I mean, this is not a fork in which someone is going to create a new coin and they have to decide which one will support, this is just an upgrade and we are talking about Ethereum, not an unknown coin. I guess they will disable deposits and withdrawals before and after the fork, until everything is safe.

I think for anyone to benefit from the Ethereum Constantinople hard fork you must hold some Ethereum in those mentioned exchanges that will be supporting the exercise. Hope I am correct? I need contribution to this question.

It is not a must you hold the ethereum on the listed or any other exchange that supports it. You can as well hold it in your private wallet prior and until the date scheduled for it.

Of course, most exchanges will support hard fork of Ethereum. it is important that it finally takes place.

The fork could stabilize Ethereums recent uptrend. Let's hope everything will go down smoothly.

Well, I think it depends more on bitcoin if it goes down and the Ethereum will go down, too, I think it's too early to talk about a bullish trend)

Of course it's good that so many exchanges support the Ethereum fork , but I do not think that it will be a popular coin , it seems to me that all forks are not very useful for the market!

As usual before the hardfork arrives the price always goes up first, but after that the price will drop sharply, so I will take advantage now by buying Ethereum at the current price, because the hardfork is only a few days away.

I hope that this time the hardfork will be made without a problem and will not postpone it to another date.
If it works, it will be a big step not only for Ethereum, but for all cryptocurrencies.

That's because most people will think that after hardfork, the price of coins will soar, so many people buy it to benefit from the price spikes that they predict and because many buyers have a price increase but when Hardfork happens, people compete to sell their coins as quickly as possible and this is which makes the price fall again, if only they don't sell it there will be no dump after the hardfork occurs

I personally think hardfork is only going to destroy the coin, it's great to see developers want to try to make the coin become better, but not a lot of people care about the changes they just want to make more profits, a lot of forking coin also can't rise well, so I don't too excited about the forking

Its a sad thing for me, because i was not able to store some of the ETH coins in my port, i was able to sold all my holdings lately due to some personal needs, and now, im hunting to buy even a little more, and so that in preparation for a price surge i think because of the upcoming hardfork.

I think that now we are seeing a general growth of the cryptocurrency market, and not a separate increase in the ethereum price due to the upcoming improvements to this coin. Although, of course, it is possible that this circumstance influenced both the general market increase and the ethereum price increase.
We will already see a concrete increase in the ethereum price some time after the introduction of improvements, when the first results of these improvements will be visible. I hope that it will be so.

The fact is that today's increase in prices for ethereum is due to a specific post of the entire cryptocurrency market, And when we wait for the update to ethereum, we will probably see other pricing results.

The price has gone up but not as much as i had expected. Perhaps people are waiting for the hard fork to take place and see if it is successful before buying bucket loads. They tried and failed before so people are more wary now

This Fork will bring more demand from the coin. this one is getting more attention to the people.
Once the FORK get the success i am looking for more rise in the market.
There are so many exchange confirmed about the support so lets see it.

More days to come, hoping to see a great development with ETH and i hope for the price to go up high. Though many are still doubt, i know ETH has prepare something good for all of us. It looks like there will be no more delays.

I do not know why this is posted as good news, they basically must support it they have no other choice other than delisting it because this is not a split hard fork it is just an upgrade if they choose not to support it then they must delist it, which will never happen because no exchange in his right mind will choose to delist the secondly important coin in Cryptosphere that will be just dumb.

People are afraid to invest in ethereum. Developers have already canceled this hardfork 2 times. They can not once again move the date of the hardfork. If this happens, the price of the coin will drop very much. Many people will be disappointed in ethereum.

actually this fork has been postponed/canceled a lot more than just two times. in fact it was supposed to happen years ago but it never did because of the incompetence of the developer and his lack of interest in his own creation.
if you recall there was actually a deadline for it too with something called "difficulty bomb" which they had to remove because it was never ready to implement the fork.

and people aren't just scared because of that, they are mostly scared because of the high possibility of chain split and coin loss and also the dump that will be followed.

If the ETH team goes well without any problems during the hard fork and after that, I think that all exchanges will easily support it.

We saw for the past weeks how ETH price move positively maybe this is due to the upcoming constantinople hardfork and hoping this time it would be a successful. We all aware that this hardfork was even scheduled a year ago but due to lot of security threat and other problems that hamper the implementation it was posponed many times already. Lets all hopeful that this time all must  going well accordingly.

I think it is all about Bitcoin and its price now. Bitcoin price will go stable is the nearest time, then Ethereum will rise slowly. But if Bitcoin price will go down, I think we may see surprise.

with a lot of support for Ethereum hard fork, I hope that Ethereum will be better in the future and the value will get stronger and hopefully the hard fork process can run smoothly.
