Ethereum Classic is getting ready for a hard forks to remove the "bomb difficulty»
Ethereum Classic developers have announced a hard fork, the purpose of which is to eliminate the so-called "bomb complexity".
The complexity bomb was originally included in Ethereum's documentation for the purpose of the subsequent transition to the Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm. However, since the Ethereum Classic command does not plan to change the algorithm and the network will continue to use the Proof-of-Work consensus, this feature has become irrelevant.
As reported by the developers, since this fork involves branching the network, users should not expect "free coines".
This is a" small and positive "update, because the" bomb complexity", otherwise, would make pow mining unprofitable, and after all impossible, said the representative of the team ETCDEV Darcy Renault.
For a smooth and safe transition, you need to upgrade your clients: Geth-to version 5.0.0, Parity — to 1.9.3. They need to be updated to generate the 5,900,000 unit, which is expected to be found on may 24, 2018.
Last year's fork in the network ETH initially caused some errors, but they were promptly fixed.
