Guys, be careful with the ETCV hardfork. It is not as transparent as first claimed and there is no public support anywhere and by anyone concerning this hard fork. There are a lot of rumours highlighting the ETCV hard fork as a scam carefully done to steal private keys and digital assets by unsuspecting individuals. If you must, once the snapshot is taken, move all your precious assets out before you claim anything to avoid any form of regrets thereafter.
But why so many people talks about those forks? If it scam at first? I forgot it and don't wait. But no, we see new and new topics about this forks. Ann threads becomes more and more. Move it to Scam Accusations and nothing more
This needs to be talked about, and to speak precisely in these branches, and not in accusations of fraud. Cryptocurrency fraud has reached such a threatening scale that ignoring this massive phenomenon will harm the development of the cryptocurrency as a whole. The two planned forks and both turned out to be fraud. This has never happened before.
Two forks that make weak ethereum, and this is sad. Hardfork itself has been postponed for reasons of vulnerability to accounts in exchange, so we will wait for hardfork to return which has good development later.
On 15th of Jan, 2019 at 12.08 PM PT exactly, the Ethereum core developers and security community decided to postpone the planned Ethereum Constantinople hard fork that would have ideally occurred on 16th January, 2019 at block 7,080,000. There were certain issues identified by ChainSecurity and TrailOfBits wherein some smart contracts could utilize the code patterns that can make them vulnerable to a reentrancy attack. The attacker might get the entire right of the transaction, i.e, can totally decide on the treasury splitting service wherein he can create a pair with the first address being the contract and the second is any attacker account. In brief, he will get the leverage to steal other people's ether and can continue doing so. He can have both the transfer and send authority following by a state changing operation.
