Ethereum Classic Upgrades Network Protocol to Ensure Mining Remains Viable

Ethereum Classic (ETC) has now successfully implemented a protocol upgrade that will ensure that mining remains viable in future, according to ETC Block Explorer data yesterday, May 29.

The fork, dubbed ECIP-1041, has removed the so-called “Difficulty Bomb” feature from the ETC network at block 5,900,000. The ‘bomb’ was a component of the original Ethereum (ETH) code that was designed to exponentially increase the difficulty of mining to the point where it would become impractically slow, thereby triggering the need to transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm. This feature has commonly been referred to as the ‘Ethereum Ice Age,’ because it would essentially ‘freeze’ block validations.

BTC update 31st July

BTC now trading around 7710. As you know fibonacci retracement happens a lot in the world of bitcoin. The magic number we are looking is 0.618 (61.8%). If we look at the first retracement in the image you will see that the lowest point compared to the highest point is the total fib range. At the end of the retracement you see we are at 61.8% and had a run up. If we look at the seccond fib retracement we see the same thing. Currently we are at the 0.618 (61.8%) level again so we should expect a run up. To determine how much of a run it will be, we can take the whole fib range (0 to 1) and this would determine how high the run could be seen from the 0.618 fib level. In this case we could see a run towards 8950. I know this is a bit confusing if you don't do technical analysis etc. but maybe we can learn something together. We also want to let you guys know we don't grab some random numbers and hope these are the correct ones ;) Conclusion : fibonacci at support level 0.618 and we
