Ethereum Constantinople Hard Fork Explained

Hello, this is Bitpunk. Today I'd like to talk about the Ethereum hard fork. There are three main points to this fork. The one that really matters is the Constantinople fork, which is being carried out by the Ethereum development team, but I'll introduce all three anyway.

First, support for the Classic Vision airdrop. On January 11, 2019, every Ethereum holder will receive 3 ETCV (Ethereum Classic Vision, ETH Classic Vision). It claims to improve Ethereum's speed and costs, but honestly, I doubt whether it's worth investing in.

Second, the Ethereum Nowa airdrop. It's a scam. It's scheduled for January 12, and Ethereum holders will receive ETN at a 1:1 ratio. The development website uses stock photos as-is.

Third, the Constantinople fork. Around January 16, the hard fork will take place at block #7080000. It's being carried out by the Ethereum team and amounts to an overall upgrade of the Ethereum system. It's a fork designed with the transition from the existing proof of work to proof of stake in mind. In the video, you can learn about <What the Ethereum Hard Fork Means> and more details about it.
