Dash Hard Fork Fiasco: Monero and ZCash Rival Suffers Major Setback as Blockchain Faces Lengthy Downtime, Reschedules New Date for June 14th
The Dash blockchain experienced a major downtime during the activation of the Dash Core v19 hard fork, halting transactions and block production. The release of Dash Core v19, which includes improvements to security and masternode functionality, has been delayed to June 14. On Monday, May 22, the Dash blockchain faced a major downtime during the activation of the Dash Core v19 hard fork, preventing transactions from completing and halting block production.
To address this issue, the Dash team has rescheduled the release of Dash Core v19 to June 14. This delay will allow the development team to resolve any lingering issues before the new protocol is launched. The Dash team will publish another announcement in the first week of June to notify users when the protocol is ready to be activated.
The delay of the Dash Core v19 hard fork will have a large negative impact on the Dash network. The new protocol was supposed to include several improvements to the Dash blockchain, such as better security measures and improved masternode functionality. With the delay of the hard fork, the Dash blockchain will remain vulnerable to attacks and suffer from limited features.
The Dash hard fork fiasco will likely tarnish the reputation of the Dash network, which is already facing competition from Monero and ZCash. The existing issues that have been plaguing the Dash blockchain need to be resolved quickly in order for the network to remain competitive. Dash users and investors will be waiting for the June 14th activation of Dash Core v19 to finally see improvements to the network.
