Electroneum Fork Soon?

How.
When.
What.
Why.

??

Any prediction. :thinking:

Until now we’ve been migrating changes from a private repo to the public one in one go just before the fork.
In the future we’re going to start committing (some of the) new code along a public develop branch as we write it so that the development process is more transparent in between forks.

Also v8 is not far off. We have to thoroughly test version dependent changes and then we will finalise the release and freeze the codebase, immediately fork the testnet, and then fork the mainnet one month later.

When you say v8 isn’t far off… Do you mean ETN will be forking to the GPU mineable v8 simular to that of Monero v8?

Correct. Electroneum v8.
I’ve been with ETN for one year now. I was the first developer hired after the ICO to work on the blockchain.
Exciting times ahead :blush:.

on your timeline i think forking back to asic would have been either 3 or 4 maybe?
anyway a lot of blockchain work happens in the background without announcements.

Howe are the progress on the fork? can you give a little update :slight_smile:

I think it just happened.
Can anyone confirm this?

IMO fork means new etn daemon version. there is no new sw announced on github

there are no news on hacker one either
