Over 50% of nodes on the network are now running a HF Ready client

How about the Chinese pools? They have about 32% of the total hashing power. It would be better if they switch as well.

They said they will go with the majority. So I think they will also support the hard fork. Let wait and see.

We will see if they go with the majority in a few hours time. If they do not, I will earn more Ethereum.
bad bet newbie...hoped you hedged

I am a miner and will mine the new chain. If the Chinese people use the old chain, the network difficulty will reduce 30%.

Attention all miners mining at https://etheres.com

Payments will be disabled at 0700 UTC 07/20/16. Mining will not be effected, and any blocks found will add to your pending balance. Once the hard fork has happened and the majority has spoken on which chain to use we will re-enable payments and any backlog will be paid. We hope that it shouldn't take too long for the larger chain to become evident and no problems arise.

So, any news about the "fail" hardfork code?
i'm really concerned about it, especially after the brilliant white hat attack.

So it looks like the people who invested in the DAO are going to have their ETH back. According to some people around the forum the biggest investors in the DAO are also the people behind Ethereum and their insider friends. So if they recieve their ethers back, what do you speculate will happen? Will they keep holding their ethers knowing that the future of Ethereum might not be good now?

My guestimate, two scenarios:
1. Once the ether is released to the investors we will see a large dump on the exchanges. Large holders will try to buy back at a lower price to gain more ether.
2. Those who don't sell keep their ether for a longer position and hope for a price appreciation long(er) term.

I see the whole DAOhub fiasco as something they will want to put behind themselves and more forward. It's not so doom and gloom as many would want to believe. In 6 months most will have forgotten about theDAO and will be jumping on the $Next_Big_Thing(tm). Sure, the whales of Ethereum where also invested in theDAO, so they have the incentives to clean up the mess. But if they had chosen not to, the attacker could also cause a problem down the road as Ethereum is moving from PoW to PoS. Also, I think their could be liability concerns for the people behind theDAO if the funds were depleted and the investors lost a lot of money. They would probably start coming after the slock.it folks and ther security teams that checked the code prior to launching the DAOhub ICO.
