Elementrem HardFork(EIP 150, Spurious dragon:EIP155/160/161/170, Tron recursive) is just around the corner.
If you have not yet replaced the client with the latest version (gele 1.5.97 / Mist 0.8.97), please replace it soon.
What happens if I do not update my client?If you do not update the client, it will connect to the pre-fork chain. All transactions and mining are only activated in pre-fork, which is independent of the main elementrem network. ELE Market and ELE explorer use Main Elementrem Network, so It is not possible to use or verify all transactions in Pre-fork. Also, support for all future updates is not available.
Why are we proposing to hard fork the network?Elementrem's hard fork is based on Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), which contain significant information to defend against network attacks. And We will increase the value by limiting the supply of ELE by reducing the amount of mining, which will increase the number of nodes participating in the Elementrem Network.
What happens if I update my client late?All transactions and mining information generated by prefork are initialized. All of the pre-fork mining rewards disappear, but both ELE sent and received in pre-fork transactions and exhausted gas are returned.
At the gele console you can see the process of converting the DB and you will see a message like `converting .... canonical numbers .... converting .... blocks`. When the DB conversion is completed, the message `Database conversion successful` is output. In rare cases, some users may occasionally experience problems that they can not sync. In this case, you need to initialize the Elementrem DB. See this link:
