Geth bug cuts in half Ethereum's hashrate

[virasog]

Bugs in Geth come from people pushing devs to release quicker.  The forum is literally sixty pages deep talking from the time that a fork for the original ETH was mentioned.

The dev team sees what needs to be done, talks about it and what should have been done in three calm months gets pushed to two hectic months.  Most of their time is spent in the forum fielding questions.  Then, the rushed software gets bombarded with every BTC enthusiast that sees the opportunity to create what feels like their own coin with any programming knowledge

We are lucky that any of the Crypto coins, wallets and otherwise work at all.  Rushed devs, hacking attempts and open source software that any one any where can grab up and create a possible fork.

Yeah ETH has had a pretty hard 4 months or so

100GB network in and 150GB network out on amazon instance running just geth with 64 peers in a one day


"I logged to amazon to check for curiosity correctness of this post:

and saw that cost estimation for a current month is much larger than usually and the largest part of a month-to-date cost is a DataTransfer. There is a large peak three days ago, but today it isn't much better. I used a calculator here:

And it seems that I will have to pay about $500 monthly for running geth there. Can someone confirm those numbers and that they aren't decreasing? I'm stopping this instance until it is solved.

edit: click at a "Sum" and period "1 Day" on a instances page -> monitoring"
