The planned Ethereum network hard fork, codenamed Metropolis, is well and truly underway. Beginning on September 18 with the first phase, called Byzantium, is expected to mitigate the consequences and actions of malicious presences within the broader Ethereum network.
Ethereum creator and lead developer Vitalik Buterin, announced on Twitter only a day after Byzantium had gone live on testnet that Ethereum had just verified its first zk-snark proof transaction. He then thanked the ZCash development team for their support in the endeavour.
The Tweet is seen as further evidence that the potential for zero-knowledge (zk) proofs is real. This cryptography technology was first used and promoted by the developers of anonymous cryptocurrency ZCash and is touted as a method for truly anonymous transaction. This is due to it verifying ledger entries without revealing the identity of either receiver or sender.
Unlike the Bitcoin hard fork issues, Metropolis has received wide support from the Ethereum community, although this is arguably credit to its somewhat centralised approach in development.
Its creators see the hard fork proposal as a necessary technological upgrade and scalability solution, given increased usage and application of the Ethereum network. This has been true particularly among businesses and governments seeking to further explore the Ethereum ecosystem.
The second phase of Metropolis – Constantinople – is due to roll out sometime in October 2017. Once completed, a significant change will be the ongoing shift from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, with miner rewards reduced to 3 ETH from its current 5 ETH.

Merely wanna tell that this is handy, Thanks for taking your time to write this.
I’ve been surfing online greater than three hours as of late, yet I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is pretty value enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the net will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before. “I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere.” by James Grover Thurber.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
