Hello everyone, So for those of us mining Ether with Claymore miner version 10.0, do we need to do anything to be compatible with Byzantium Hardfork? Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Hoobski

Hey Vann, Thanks for your reply. I just read that Ethermine is ready for Byzantium so those of us using Claymore and mining on Ehtermine should be all set.
Yes I checked my wallet as well and it does support the Fork already.
Thanks again, Hoobski

The mining reward per block will drop to 3 ETH from 5 ETH after the fork. However that is to to keep inflation roughly the same as it was at the beginning of September because the fork removes the ICE AGE difficulty adjustment, returning to the difficulty predicated on the total network hash rate, delaying the difficulty bomb for approximately 12 months until they are ready to implement the switch to POS.
The block times will also go back to 15 seconds from the 30 seconds they are now. Because of the block time and difficulty reduction, profitability should increase from where it is now by ~25% after the fork, depending on the network hash rate.

Need help. Only thing I used geth for was to create a wallet and I only had to do that on my first rig. With the hard fork what exactly do I need to do? Just update geth on my first rig? Or I have to download geth on every rig now. I use claymore and a pool for mining. Your help is appreciated

You don't need Geth to mine ETH on a pool, only if you're solo mining ETH. Any wallet client you use to store or transact in ETH must be the latest version that is compatible with the fork. You don't need to create a new wallet, just update the client to the latest version at the links in the blog post.

I downloaded the newest version of geth on the rig I created my wallet on and installed it. Is that all I need to do or do I need to do something else. Sorry this is the first time I have had to deal with this and I can't find any guilds online. Again geth is my wallet I do not have mist or anything like that

Google 'how to setup Geth' for lots of tutorials and videos on how to use it. I have looked at to many to count. The part that's confusing is I'm not using geth to mine only used it to create a wallet. No place tells me what I need to do in that situation. I downloaded the update and installed it but there are no directions to follow after that. Your wiki link shows commands but I don't know what ones I need to run to just update my wallet. I appreciate all your help. I just need more clarity. All tutorials are showing how to setup geth if your using that to mine. I need a do A,b,c d type of thing on how to update just geth wallet

Maybe you should try another client if Geth is too complicated for you? You can import an existing keystore into the Mist or Parity clients and those should be easier for you to understand.
