RE: Ethereum: First Metropolis Upgrade in late September

in #ethereum7 years ago

Thats a good point, but we do have ETC. My real question is where will all the miners go, because that's going to drive the difficulty up on all the other coins to mine.

Sort:  

Etc is the result of an unexpected hardfork, triggerd through the DAO drama.
So there was a moral issue about this Hardfork, which ended up in two camps.
But we don't had another splitted chain after the Hardfork from "Frontier" to "Homestead".
Cause no one wants stay in an outdated system if everybody else is going with the updates.
As this is transparent and foreseeable for everbody an agreement about the metropolis HF should be easy.
Nearly everbody involved and excited about ethereum should already agree about this, as it is part of ethereums evolution process.

Miners do whatever will be profitable.
i am not sure which coins are profitable to mine with eth mining hardware.
