We want to congratulate the Ethereum group on a efficiently accomplished laborious fork. Block 1920000 contained the execution of an irregular state change which transferred ~12 million ETH from the “Darkish DAO” and “Whitehat DAO” contracts into the WithdrawDAO recovery contract. The fork itself befell easily, with roughly 85% of miners mining on the fork:
You possibly can see ongoing fork progress here. EthStats exhibits Go, Java and Parity (Rust) nodes efficiently synchronized to the fork chain.
The restoration contract is already returning DAO token holders’ ether; about 4.5 million ETH has been despatched to DAO token holders, and about 463000 ETH is within the management of the curator; a contract to facilitate extrabalance funds is at the moment present process safety evaluation.
Customers who have an interest solely in taking part within the fork chain ought to improve their purchasers to a fork-compatible model in the event that they haven’t already carried out so; the upgraded Go shopper (model 1.4.10) is accessible here. If any customers proceed to be inquisitive about following the non-fork chain, they need to nonetheless replace, however run with the –oppose-dao-fork flag enabled, although they need to watch out for transaction replay attacks and take acceptable steps to protect towards them; customers with little interest in the non-fork chain don’t want to fret about transaction replay assault issues.
We thank our builders and the group for working collectively to make the transition as clean because it has been, and look ahead to working collectively to proceed to make the Ethereum ecosystem and protocol successful.
