Ethereum planning fork 4 December. 😱👏👏👏
Apart from the Hard Fork initialization, the new release delivers a couple of major fixes and upgrades. To name a few, the release enforces new fork orders to avoid partially initialized private networks that coexist, and puts an end to some of the unnecessary memory copying on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Several minor bugs are also fixed in the execution of transactions.
Long-Awaited Update
The story of Ethereum Mainnet's Istanbul Hard Fork began in May of 2019, when Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 2124 was presented by Felix Lange and Péter Szilágyi. It proposed a mechanism for users to identify which node-based software of a computer server in the Ethereum network is running.
This eventually evolved into a major system-wide upgrade, which was mainly about data storage on the Ethereum network and mining algorithms. Such an upgrade will increase the computation costs, but will protect the system from potential denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.👍👍

Beware of robber banks (RB), bad advisors.
