Title: When is next hardfork?
Post by: clayop on November 10, 2014, 07:03:57 am
0.4.24 rc says that the hardfork will take place at block 991700. When is it in UTC?

Around 20000 blocks from now or a bit over 2.3 days.

991700-971000*10/60/60/24 by my calculation.

(9917000-current  block)*10sec/60/60/24=days until fork (erase 24 to see exactly how much hours it takes until fork)

Sent from my ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 997D

https://github.com/xeroc/pytshares/blob/master/timeofblock.py
Code: [Select]
python timeofblock.py 991700
block 991700 to appear in <= 2 days, 8:11:50
UTC time: 2014-11-12 17:04:00
assuming no missed blocks

Surely there must be a simple way to add in estimates of the time such a event will occur, even if that is only a link out to a dynamic estimate?

paging @svk
maybe we can have such a feature in the block explorer

example python code is given here:

Is this the hard fork that introduces paid delegates? Gonna be exciting!

I use WolframAlpha with:

( fork_block - current_block ) * 10 seconds

And it automatically tells you the time in the future.

I just wrote a quick and dirty script to help people estimate the time of a hard fork given a block number.

Enjoy.

Also, thank you svk for your wonderful service.

Is this the hard fork for the transition from BTSX to BTS?
