I hope they get this fixed within the next 5 days or ICN may need delay launch until the chain stabilizes.
if nobody can even create a contract until it's fixed by another hardfork update this could get serious.
Even lisk is more stable than this... I run and maintain dozen public Lisk api's, and can't get a single Ethereum contract to register after switching to Parity and re-syncing this is scary. Two dozen coin ecosystems are effected by this. By the looks of it, They have the fork hot-fix but are hesitating to publish it. With any luck he listens to Gavin, and pulls the trigger. Fingers crossed.
As it stands, right now, an exchange couldn't add ICN or ANY Ethereum token if they wanted to.
I think Iconomi should delay it. I mean, what if they are a target due to the popularity of the coin. Delay it.
It hasn't quite reached that point yet because if they push a hardfork update it can be fixed... but it could happen indeed. 5 days ... I'm "on the edge" here hehe
This reflects nothing against Iconomi at least...
... other than the possibility of an unwanted/unplanned delay because some russian nerd demigod dev wizard hesitated at the helm.
You could get us killed.
