The developers of the Ethereum blockchain and the cryptocurrency of the same name plan to postpone the transition to a new model in which no miners will be required. This is reported by Bloomberg news agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is noted that network developers have been rehearsing the launch of a special algorithm designed to phase out the Ethereum (ETH) mining process. During the update process, the Ropsten test subnet encountered bugs, causing the transition to now be scheduled for September-October 2022 rather than August.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s about a special code called <\/span>Difficulty Bomb<\/span><\/a> that has existed in ETH since launch. Running it instantly increases the difficulty of mining the cryptocurrency and ends up making the process impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n
