Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

When is the hardfork planned? I think it would be a good time before BTC hardfork. As we could see ETH and alts grow if they would have made this in few month before BTC hardfork and than will be BTC growing... Huh

7 December 2019.
You can read this: https://blog.ethereum.org/2019/11/20/ethereum-istanbul-upgrade-announcement/
or this: https://cointelegraph.com/news/istanbul-to-berlin-ethereum-milestones-on-the-road-to-serenity

So does this mean that on December 7th Ethereum is going to move to POS? May be this big dump before upcoming huge pump after hardfork Huh

Hope to see good altseson again Roll Eyes

No, this HF has nothing to do with the POS. There is no certain date for ETH 2.0, just rumors that it will start in Jan 2020. It is not clear whether a full POS will be introduced, or mixed POS/POW at first for better security. Full POS may happen still in Q1 2020 if there are no bugs.

An update of this huge caliber should be announced more than 2 months earlier, so I'm sure it won't happen on January... it's too soon and there's no official announcement.

Now that I think about it, I've been hearing about Ethereum's POS for about 2 years now!
