Ethereum core developer announces postponement of test network Ropsten system upgrade project plan
According to Coindesk, Ethereum core developers announced plans to postpone the upgrade of the Constantinople system on the test network Ropsten. Peter Szilagyi, head of the Ethereum Foundation team, explained that the main reason for the delay was to provide customers with more time to resolve the vulnerabilities found in the five upgrades in Constantinople. In addition, the delay will provide space for Ropsten users to test other Ethereum projects in preparation for the possible forks in Constantinople. According to Citicoins, ETH price is now at $193.78, a drop of 4.27%.
Vitalik: There is no intention to leave the Ethereum community in the short term

As for the short-term departure from the Ethereum community, there is no practical plan yet.’
Fish pond response: The recent spread of the ‘empty block’ in the mining pool is a threat to the Ethereum coin
According to AMBCrypto today, ‘The number of empty blocks mined in Ethereum in the past three months has increased dramatically, according to CoinFi’s chief data scientist Alex Svanevik, which is caused by the use of ‘spy mining’ technology in illegal mines, and F2Pool and Etherdigg have this behavior’ The news, Yuchi responded that it is very wrong to say that the recent spread of the ‘empty block’ in the mining pool will pose a threat to Ethereum. The author made such a conclusion that the understanding of the mining process of Ethereum was not thorough. In fact, when the height of the mine changed, due to network communication delay, etc., if you choose to calculate the transaction and then issue the task, this time The mining machine is 1–2 seconds in wasted computing power. Therefore, in order to protect the interests of miners from being lost, the mining pool will issue a task without a transaction at the first time, and then reissue a transaction with a transaction after 1–2 seconds. If the mining machine calculates the share that meets the difficulty in 1–2 seconds after the transaction is not sent, then the block is an empty block. As you can see on the erasescan, the top three mining pools are all this mechanism.
