the In the Ecosystem of Ethereum is currently a kind of Mini-Chain-Split watch. Although the Constantinople Hard Fork should be officially postponed, missed, apparently, every tenth Miner to install the appropriate Updates.

Apparently, a part of the Ethereum Miner has not heard the Bang: Despite the short-term move of the Constantinople Hard Fork about ten percent of the miners have apparently taken over the new Ethereum implementation. The reported Trustnodes.com 17. January, citing data from forkmon.ethdevops.io.

Compared with the Hash Rate of the (actually) cancelled the Hard Fork is missing the Ethereum network, This means between 10 and 20 TH/s., that about ten percent of the miners have carried out the Constantinople-Update.

so Far it is still unclear whether and how many Ether-Miner for this step. Probably not, that the announcement of the postponement of the Hard Fork is up to each Miner for that matter. For it speaks, that it is for the Miner little sense economically to go against the overwhelming majority of other Miner in the network and to implement the Reentrancy-attacks-vulnerable Version of Constantinople. In addition, the Mining Difficulty decreases to the Constantinople Blockchain, slowly but surely. Nevertheless, do not need to show first that it was an intended Chain Split.

caution in transactions

operators of Nodes should pay attention to what Blockchain they participate in. Because even Ethereum developers are not immune to having to participate in the Constantinople-Blockchain. So ironically, the “Hard Fork Coordinator” Afrie Schoedon had to determine that its Node was involved in the Constantinople-Blockchain.

“After I got the whole world to Upgrade, of course, remains my own Node on the wrong Fork

After telling the entire world to upgrade”, of course my very own node gets stuck on the wrong fork lol

If the Devs of your Blockchain can’t be sure, is also required for Ethereum-users caution. It is not currently exclude the possibility that ETH-transactions end up on the wrong Blockchain. Until more clarity about whether the ten per cent, of the Ether-Miner, think Better of it, and the 15. January published Upgrade instructions to follow in order to find back on the right steamer.
