new geth is dead.....dont sync


ps:ok,sync but very slow

The people who made those huge profits, got very upset and simply threw a huge tantrum.

And the people who made those huge losses got very happy...

 A new hard fork for eth ? Will eth survive after Hardfork ? need opinion from experts

A new hard fork for eth ? Will eth survive after Hardfork ? need opinion from experts

First, you really gotta do your own research.  It's the golden rule of investing.  Since the DAO issue, silly people have attached a negative connotation to hard forks. Hard forks were always in the road map for Ethereum.  This particular one coming is an upgrade to increase security and harden the protocol.  Absolutely nothing wrong with that.  But please, read a bit instead of relying on others.  There are even numerous links in the last few pages of this thread to articles and blogs explaining it all.

Nope,

One of Ethereum's unique selling points was and is the ease of doing Forks (Hard or Soft).

QED: easy maintenance and rapid implementations of solutions and innovations via the fork mechanism.

There have already been lot's of forks, at least 5 so far.

And there are many more forks scheduled for the future.

what is fork,can you explain that in simple terms so that i could understand,i am hearing about the fork everywhere in this forum and i want to know why they are doing it often

You could google or use youtube.

All a Fork means, is changes in code base of the alt or token that happen by design (to add a new feature) or by accident (a flaw) that cause incompatibilities with the way the old code base works. Therefore, those people with holdings in the alt or token, all need to switch to the new code base.

I'm mining ETH-HF on Dwarfpoof after a few weeks of down-time due to a cooked motherboard. Now that I'm back up and running with a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04, I've been noticing that I'm getting a lot of "GPU gave incorrect result", "cannot connect" and a few other errors while mining. I've also noticed that even though I have FARM-RECHECK 300 in the command, which in the past led to each "hashing line" displayed on the monitor being displayed every .3 seconds or so at a very steady rate, now its a very ragged rate of .7 to 1.0 second, sometimes as slow as 6-7 seconds

My ethminer command is as follows:

Code:

ethminer --farm-recheck 300 -G -t 4 -F eth-us.dwarfpool.com:80/0x1400xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx08eB7829C --cl-local-work 256 --cl-global-work 16896

are these issues because of the attacks on the network?

Or would it be the motherboard/processor being too slow ( Pentium Dual Core 3GHz with 4GB RAM , 2- R9 295X2 cards, Ubuntu 15.04 Desktop )

OR maybe I have something misconfigured?


Also, For some reason, I can mine using both cards, but trying to overclock using aticonfig or even checking the temperature of each of the 4 GPU cores, I can only control and/or access the temperature of the "default" GPU. The other 3 GPUs are inaccessible with the aticonfig command. Now this is a misconfiguration of something because the previous installation of ubuntu 15.04 mined just fine and I have full control over all the GPUs. ( That old installation was all kinds of mucked up with Monero and other coin mining junk - the reason for re-installing from scratch)

FYI - I followed this guide with an exception of using thelatest APP and Display Library downloaded from AMD, not the older stuff noted in the guide.

Any pointers to get this sorted out would be helpful

Thanks

in the last days eth dollar volume is slightly more than 10 % of btc dollar volume; previously it has been durably over 50 % .

Announcement of imminent hard fork for EIP150 gas cost changes

Posted by Martin Swende on October 13th, 2016.
During the last couple of weeks, the Ethereum network has been the target of a sustained attack. The attacker(s) have been very crafty in locating vulnerabilities in the client implementations as well as the protocol specification.

While the recent patches have led to an overall increased resiliency in the client implementations, the attacks have also demonstrated that a lower-level change to the EVM pricing model is needed.

For many users, the most visible consequence is probably that they are having difficulties getting transactions included in blocks, and full nodes are facing memory limitations in managing the bloated state.

This is our strategy to address these issues:

As a temporary measure to minimize the effects of the most recent attack, we recommend all miners to lower the gaslimit to 500K gas.
A hard-fork based on EIP 150 version 1c will be put into effect at block 2457000 [see below]. This will reprice certain operations to correspond better to the underlying computational complexity.
A second hard-fork will follow shortly after, aimed at reverting the current “state-bloat” introduced by the attacks. This second fork will serve to remove accounts which are empty; lacking code, balance, storage and nonce == 0.
We have implemented the changes required in the clients and are currently extending and adding tests in an effort to prevent the introduction of consensus-breaking vulnerabilities.

And as a reminder, the Ethereum Bug Bounty is open and includes the new hardfork-implementations.

EDIT: Fork block has been moved to 2463000 in order to accommodate even more testing.

Personally, I think this is worse than the second HF that removes null accounts. People created these contracts according to the specifications in the original yellow paper, assuming that gas costs would be static forever. But if the network ceases to exist because of these attacks, then the contracts will be useless anyway.

Near 24 hr and i have send eth from bittrex to my personal wallet and not receive IT!!! Txid not found!!! How i can Resolve? Thanks 

[zanzibar]

I've had all sorts of issues with sending Eth, never had problems before. Anyway, I'm out until things settle down a bit and I'll buy back in, but right now I can't even use the client.

ETHC, ETHF... Well, 2 ethereum coins is not enough. We shall have a third ethereum coin now ETHF2. Which exchange will start trading it first?
