Well, not that much unless your plan is to mix versions (one of which is outdated by months now) of course and those fixes are already reality from 2 different sources if you look back in this thread a little. As i said above the original dev even hinted at that there would be a softfork. It was pretty bad communication not putting that in big red letters and explaining what would happen when in front of the release though.


Well there is a ton of speculation going around. I suggest painting your own picture. Most information is in this thread and you probably know where to get some nice looking graphs. You just need to connect the dots. Noone is going to be able to give you a definitive answer.
