Ethereum hard fork january 2019

[kicauklaten]

I think to ethereum will focus more on network improvements for the better system. whether it will expand or improve the hardfork the clear aim of enabling ethereum became a little better. the team behind it certainly hope this will be the starting back for the recovery of the ethereum and impact on another crypto as well.

Will this result in a new coin? If so... How can we get it?

I think the hardfork this time to produce a new coin has a small possibility, in my opinion this will be a renovation of the system on their platform, if there really is a new coin I am sure the distribution will be the same as BTC and BCH ie 1:1.

It is still very early to make any predictions although the fork is very close. I guess, the price of Ethereum can grow a lot closer to the second week of January. Thus, it will be the best decision to buy ETH now.

But the price has already partially increased on Ethereum. I am now waiting for the price to fall by 10-15% and I think that this will be a good chance to buy this strong coin.

yes, I heard the news, even many argue that if ethereum will fork in January 2019 it will produce new coins! . but try to think that this is only an increase in the network!, so in hard work like that it will not produce new coins again.

I always hope that the event which will be run by ethereum in January next year will be the beginning of an increase in ethereum prices to return to the highest price again

Indeed. Ethereum needs to be improved, so it will see an important Constantinople hard fork in January, 2019.

As far as I understand, the developers want to introduce 5 new features in the blockchain technology of Ethereum. The founder Vitalik Buterin proposed his scaling solution to be implemented in the new version of the software.

I'm astonished by the reduction of block mining from 3 ETH to 2 ETH, which is based on state channels and side-chain transactions. I guess that this improvement can have a positive impact on the ETH price in the future, because inflation will be reduced.

What ever it is we will be sure that we will have the same amount of the tokens we have on Ethereum.
This Fork will reduce the mining from 3ETH to just only 2. But what we should be worry about on what will be the effect of it.
It might crash the market again though, ERC-20 or ETHEREUM is one of the most use cryptocurrency which may give positive effect.
What ever it is, we will see the result on the third week of January!

No, Ethereum fork from January 2019 will not result into a new coin, but will just add some improvements for existing ETH.

Regarding the price of ETH, it might increase within the next month, but that's not a certitude. ETH is very undervalued at the current price so it can be a good catch while waiting for the next bull run.

hardfork usually gives birth to new coins and how to get the habit through how much Ethereum we have through the market that has been agreed upon, if there is a local exchange there is also usually but it depends on the exchange party whether or not there will be.

I do not think it will result in a new coin it is basically an overhauling and upgrade of the eth network to overcome scalability issues and also reduction in miner reward that will reduce daily supply and also eth value and then change of eth algorithm from pow to pos will be in next stage. I think with all these changes, upgrades and improvements we are going to see a new version and face of ethereum and personally i think all these will put extremely bullish effect on the price of eth.

Yes I believe too. The price will get bull's attention and start to move upward. Let's see if this coming month it will start to move since January 2019 is approaching already.

I heard it the first time from you, is that really legit does anyone knows ?

Yes, the Ethereum Constantinople Hard Fork which takes place at block 7.080.000 (as far as I know).
For the users there shouldn't be anything to take care of but I'm sure more information will be released as we approach block 7.080.000.
By the way: It's not a hard-fork that will result in a new coin like Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash or Ethereum Classic and Ethereum.

Yeap, I have the same information. So, this time we won't see a new coin in our wallets (.

This is very good news from the Ethereum team, and I think their PoS system will serve as a good investment for the big players, which could have a major impact on the price of Ethereum in the new year.

I guess the Ethereum will still be the coin, our investment will be profitable I believe. But if there would be another coin that will be created, still we can gain profit out of ethereum as many supporters invested too much to it.

Just read more about the hardforks. If a coin announces a hardfork it means you would automatically get a new coin, if you are holding the old one. But remember to check the exchanges that are going to support this hardfork, otherwise you won't get any coins at all.

Just found this article:

"In the first month of the New Year, Ethereum will experience several hard forks, 3 of which are most significant:

Classic Vision Hard Fork – 11 Jan 2019: All Ethereum holders will receive 3 ETCV for each ETH in their wallets.
Ethereum Nowa Fork – 12 Jan 2019: Each ETH holder receives ETN in the ratio of 1:1 for free.
Constantinople Fork – 16 Jan 2019 (or earlier) Constantinople Mainnet hard fork scheduled for block #7080000: The Constantinople Mainnet hard fork is arguably the most significant fork because it is a big component of Ethereum’s transition from using a proof of work protocol to proof of stake."

They say that will be new coins....
