The developers postponed the activation of the Ethrium Boga Bomb – Bits Media

Ethereum developers team on the eve of ETH update launching 2.0 and the transition to the POS algorithm again transferred the launch of the so -called complexity bomb, To make sure of her correct work.

Leading developer of the Ethereum team Tim Beiko (Beiko team) He reported on Twitter, that they discussed on Friday the situation with the project and decided to once again postpone activation:

“We have already spent a lot of time preparing and want to be sure, that all data are verified - before choosing the date of starting the complexity bomb. We intend to activate the bomb over the next two months, To have time to launch an update at the end of June ".

The developer reminded, that the update, which is called a "bomb of complexity", will enable the team to increase the complexity of the Ethereum mining after the ETH update 2.0. After activation, the complexity bomb will significantly increase the complexity of production using Pow consensus, What will make the mining of a new block in the blockchain impossible.

Beiko is sure, that the delay will allow the developers to "focus on the merger", When the current main network Ethereum unites with the system of chain of lighthouses of the algorithm for confirmation of the share (PoS). Colleague Beiko, Leading developer Ethereum Ben Ejington (Ben Edgington) He expressed hope, that a delay with a bomb of complexity will not affect The Merge:

“We affirm, that this will not delay the merger. I sincerely hope, what's not. The introduction of The Merge should occur until mid -August 2022 of the year".

Ethereum developers have not yet determined the merger date of The Merge. In early April, After the end of the first shadow fork of the main network Ethereum, Beiko announced: The merger will not be completed in June: 

“It will not be June, And later for two months. There is no exact date yet, But we are definitely in the last phase of the launch of Ethereum 2.0 ".

At the beginning of the month, Ethereum developers reported the successful transition of the Ropsten test network to the Proof-Of-Stake consensus algorithm. Now miners are not responsible for confirming operations, And the validators.
