I hope they get this fixed within the next 5 days or ICN may need delay launch until the chain stabilizes.
if nobody can even create a contract until it's fixed by another hardfork update this could get serious.
As it stands, right now, an exchange couldn't add ICN or ANY Ethereum token if they wanted to.
Even lisk is more stable than this... I run and maintain dozen public Lisk api's, and can't get a single Ethereum contract to register after switching to Parity and re-syncing this is scary. Two dozen coin ecosystems are effected by this. By the looks of it, They have the fork hot-fix but are hesitating to publish it. With any luck he listens to Gavin, and pulls the trigger. Fingers crossed.
Nice one. And we just had discussion in the office about that.
We'll be ready to launch ICN. But if it turns out that network is not stable and substantial amount of people is left with unsynced blockchain (it means also exchange could have issue with it) we will communicate that and delay launch.
We wanna make sure that we start with the launch at in advance communicated time (technically that will be certain block height) and where anyone can sync blockchain. That is the only way to make sure everyone have equal opportunities to access and transfer ICN to exchanges. We wanna make start of the race fair to all.
