Atheerium announces the near-collapse of the main "hard fork" of the currency in late September this year
by : @Abderrachidhafsi
With all the hype in the news about the @currency of @Bitcoin and @Bitcoin Cash, the etherium coin has been ignored by some. However, the team of developers of the currency of etherium has just issued that it is scheduled to occur the main division "Hard ford" of the currency in late September of this year.
Specific currency roadmap
The split was widely expected after the roadmap for the 2017 @currency was released earlier this year. Where the map indicated that the next version will contain some major improvements to the platform. The announcement, issued earlier this year, said the planned period of the split would be three to six months and the month of September would be on the eve of the completion of the full six months. While this timing is far behind what many would have hoped, this news is a welcome welcome for those who are waiting for upcoming upgrades to the etherium.
Expected promotions of division
It is expected that a series of significant improvements will be activated after the activation of the main division "Hard Fork". First, more confidentiality will be provided with "zk-SNARKs" or "zero-knowledge proofs", meaning that no user identity data will be provided. Where users will be able to perform @anonymous transactions at higher levels of confidentiality than in the past. Second, programming and smart contracts will be much easier with the new upgrade, which will relieve some of the pressure on existing programmers. As it will be modified Gas to settle the bill. Thirdly, the hidden feature will allow security enthusiasts, users, to identify the address with their own key. All this leads to increased security on the network, even against hacker groups. Finally, the upgrade includes "Difficulty-Bomb", which aims to make mining more difficult to multiply.
This surprise step was designed to be an intermediate step to move from PoW to POS on the network. This is often referred to as the "ice age of the @etherium".
What about price response for these improvements?
It remains unclear whether the promotion will lead to an increase or decrease in prices. With mining slowing, prices may fall. However, promotions should increase the amount of users on the system in general, causing the price rise. Regardless, this is the penultimate stop on the road map for this currency, as the next upgrade should produce increased stability, leading to more investment and price support.
