confirmed The Ethereum Foundation has set a date for the upcoming Constantinople Hard Fork. The Update aims to speed – if the current Block-to – on 28. February at 19:30 CET. The Constantinople-Update is done with one month's delay. The last appointment was cancelled due to a short-term security gap. The implementation of the Ethereum-improvement proposal (Ethereum Improvement Proposal, EIP) 1283 a so-called Reentrancy allows, even when the consequences of heavy-DAO-Hack focus.

Constantinople and St. Petersburg, this Time without the EIP 1283

Apparently, the community of developers of Ethereum is safe this time. The troubled EIP 1283 should not be part of the Constantinople Hard Fork. The Ethereum Foundation on the 22. known on your Blog. EIP 1283 is also the reason why the Ethereum network will go through two Updates at the same time. So, those Ethereum must have implemented test networks, the Constantinople-thought-out shortly before the Hard Fork already, the Update of the "St. Petersburg". In the Blog, it is stated:

The original Constantinople-the Changes are listed in this Blog Post, were applied prior to the shift to test networks and require a second network Upgrade, the original Constantinople-undo Changes. This is referred to as St. Petersburg and is on the same block number as Constantinople.

Constantinople was intended to pave for ETH the way to a Consensus via Proof of Stake. To the network renounced the Proof of Work completely, it will take a while. Constantinople provides for a reduction of Mining Rewards to a third – from three to two ETH per Block; however, the displacement of the "Difficulty Bomb goes hand in hand with the Update". The latter is to ensure, through an exponential increase in Mining difficulty that Ether-Mining will, in the long term less profitable. Thus, miners of the ETH, the incentive is to be taken, on the Proof-of-Work consensus, and at the time of the transition to Proof of Stake in a selfish Chain Split. The bomb should, at the earliest, bursting in twelve months "".
