Upcoming Ethereum Fork Leaves Community Unimpressed

2020-5-24 01:00

The Ethereum network is set to undergo its Istanbul fork. That is a very interesting development, but similar to most other forks on this network, many network nodes are upgraded at the last minute. 

It is very interesting to see how Ethereum node operators approach upcoming forks.

Another Ethereum Upgrade Looms Ahead

Under normal circumstances, they would update their software client as early as possible.

While some Ethereans effectively do so, the vast majority of the network is behind the curve once again. 

This is a pretty common theme for Ethereum node operators, although no one knows why that is exactly.

With over 60% of the network seemingly not ready for the upgrade, there is some reason for concern.

More than likely, this figure will decrease rapidly just before the fork is expected to take place.

One could also wonder if users are effectively impressed by what Istanbul brings to the table.

There are some improvements, but no major changes to take note of. 

With this seeming lack of interest, it will be interesting to see how things evolve in the coming days.

A network split seems rather unlikely at this point, butt here is always a chance of something unexpected taking place when everything is said and done.

DevCon 4 Will Set the Stage for Ethereum’s Next Milestone: Constantinople

Ethereum is embracing the Constantinople milestone at the end of November 2018, after DevCon4 in Prague. Constantinople is the latest Ethereum release, introduced through a hard fork, that will include five Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs):Bitwise shifting instructions (EIP 145) in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) allow for direct manipulation of bytes on the EVM layer.

ASIC Vs. GPU Debate Ignites Ahead Of Devcon4 And Constantinople Hard Fork

As the impending Constantinople hard fork and Devcon4 draw nearer, the ongoing ASIC vs. GPU mining rig debate appears to have re-emerged. Some in the mining community are campaigning to block ASIC mining rigs, arguing that failing to do so will push GPU mining operations out of business, further plummet the value of Ether, and lead to network centralization.

Governance, Part 2: Plutocracy Is Still Bad

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.
