RE: 19 Witnesses (Out Of 68 Active) Are Now Running Steemd 0.19.0 - Hardfork 19 Is Close
So what does it mean exactly when part of the witnesses run HF19? The others are on HF18 I assume? When/How does HF19 hit? Does that automatically happen when over 50% of the witnesses run it, or is there a switch to be flipped (so to speak)?
There is a "switch the be flipped", it will happen starting at a specific block, announced in advance. Until that block, which is yet to be announced, all transactions are validated using the current consensus.
The adoption of the new version is important because, once we are after the block, if there is no 2/3 majority of the nodes, the hardfork doesn't get implemented. That's why I'm following the adoption curve.
Ooh I see! So we want over 2/3 of the witnesses to run HF19, before the switched gets flipped.
I hope it'll happen soon! I'm very curious to see its effects :-)
Thank you for explaining this!
