About the ETH hard fork.

[khufuking]

As far as I know, this is not a split hard fork, there will be no extra coin created, this hard fork is an upgrade hard fork so I don't really think you should be worry about how to get the new coin. This is not the first time I see someone asking this question and as some here replied that there will be a new coin on the other place too some replied that there will be a new coin, did I missed something? because I am pretty sure that there will be no new coin, this just an upgrade.

[Betwrong]

Even though the Constantinople upgrades may be good for the platform in general, I don't think that the market will necessarily react in the way some people predict in this thread. It may take some time until end users can realize what happened, and how this can affect the future of Ethereum. So, I wouldn't expect a significant rise in price, apart from that which can be associated with Bitcoin's price rising.

So, you want to buy ETH now to get the "fork" coin? If yes, I don't think the next fork will create new coin like what btc does, or at least that what i read. There is no block number about when it will happen, only date which is on 16 January 2019. From that, i don't think there will be fork coin.
Even if there will be new tokens or coin when for happen, i think you probably will receive it directly to your wallet or there will be news about it.

edit:

No, the fork will effectively create a new coin. Date of a fork is always derived from a block number and estimated block velocity, Constantinople is about to happen at block 7,080,000.

Ah, okay. Looks like the news that i read is not contain that thing.

No, you were right. New coin will not be created, it is just update, not every hard fork should be followed by creating a new coin. Hard fork happens only if half of the community do not agree with something.

Core developers Ethereum agreed with Constantinople's Hard Fork and will appear in block 7,080,000 and estimated it would happen in mid-January, and because it's still December, I think you're still not too late to invest in ethereum because the price is still not too expensive while I think Hardfork will make ETH prices increase significantly so you can still benefit from that moment

in this update, ETH holders will not receive any additional coins. so buying for some kind of free distribution it is very bad idea

You're wrong. I now carry the signature of the Ethereum Classic Vision campaign, which is paid for with an ETCV coin, which will be created as a result of the upcoming stiff fork. On the official website of this campaign it is indicated that the coin will occur on January 11 at 20:00 GMT. All Ethereum holders, including those in MyEtherWallet wallets, will receive this coin at the rate of 1: 3 for free, that is, if you have one ethereum, you will receive three Ethereum Classic Vision (ETCV) coins.

Sorry, I mixed it with another event, no split after Constantinople. Thank you for stating the correct answer.

[Queen_Amber]

thanks everybody i appreciate it

[passwordnow]

No new coin to claim, its just an upgrade.

But its a very fine coin to buy before or after the fork. Go long term with ethereum even without this fork, eth shall rise again.

[tmpwhore]

As I know you don't get any tokens. It's just an update of network. But I heard that one project will give some shitcoin. In my opinion, don't think about it, just try to sell on pic before hardfork.

I see, thats why i don't see a new coin info that will be released on fork. Thanks for confirming.

hardfork will be the beginning of a pretty good for the ethereum. at least if this happens most certainly can not increase the price of the existing crypto. most hardfork could not help as before but maybe it could be after that some crypto prices will fall. But if for this purpose is hardfork ethereum improvement or development will certainly provide a good impact.

[watergold]

I'm sure there will be a pretty good increase when before the hard fork moment, but on the contrary the price will drop after the hard fork is finished

[TheWalkingCoin]

ETh will got hardfork and hope could make eth price will growing up later, last moment when some altcoin want to hardfork always have higher price, but we will wait for eth coul be on higher price or not.

[xianbits]

Ugh. A lot of ideas here with different answers. Some say a new coin will be made and some say it will only be an upgrade, so no coin will be made. I have also read in some thread that it will be on December 28 (which has now passed). Whatever it is, I'll just secure my ETH.

[Herbert2020]

since this is a hard fork and will most probably end up splitting ETH into two chains then we can assume there can be a pump although there has been some small signs in it but it hasn't been that much to be enough for me to make a commitment to this pump.
what i did so far was to only take advantage of the small pumps that last a very short time because of lack of interest and only make the quick profit on my bitcoins that i put in ETH and pull out right after the mini pump was over.

a few months ago the price of ethereum plunged deeply, I realized that too much nonsense here was mainly about ico and erc20 tokens. Communities don't need garbage tokens and they throw them away. this is bad trust and difficult to return. Hardfork is a good step to improve this situation, I hope eth will come back.

Ethereum will come back after the fork where it will be upgraded already. I see ethereum more stronger and effective for its users. More nonsense will still surface but the community will even become solid and stronger this time around. They just became disorganized because many of them are not true believers of ethereum like in times when it is experiencing some chaos because of erc-20 tokens using it.

[SwiggHeart]

Note that it is not a hard fork, it is a blockchain upgrade. Which means that the whole thing changed for the blockchain.
There is no announcement from the Vitalik yet but someone said to me that the date of the upgrade was settled up on the middle of January 2019.

He didn't wrong and you are too. He is talking about Constantinople hardfork for ETH, it's indeed will not create any new token, it's just update for ETH.

[MainIbem]

hi everyone, i have a question,  please answer 

at which block will the eth Constantinople hard fork occur?
should i buy eth now to get the fork? or is it too late? thanks for all the help

Expect the fork before January end in 2019. It is around the corner. I think the momentum is on now as you can see the price of ETH in recent time.

[Strotman]

Last time, during the test run of Constantinople, the developers had some problems, so I would not be in a hurry to buy Ethereum before the fork hoping for a profit.
