Constantinople Ethereum Upgrade is Due to Be Released in November, Despite Delayed Test Release

Open-source coders have been working steadily on a system-wide upgrade for Ethereum, which has been called Constantinople. Though it’s on track for a November release at the moment, there’s been plenty of bumps in the road. So far, a specific date has yet to be nailed down.
The last bi-weekly developers meeting, which happened on Friday, showed that the upgrade has been integrated with all Ethereum clients. It has even been coded into the clients that are run by the Ethereum Foundation and Parity. Based on the progress, the developers are still saying that the upgrade will be happening this year, but no date has been settled for when the activation time would be built in.
Once that activation is set into the code, it will be triggered by a block to start being applied.
There are five backward-incompatible changes involved with the network upgrade. Some of these changes are minor optimizations to the protocols, while others involve bigger changes that could reduce the amount of the reward that miners get for performing their role.
The upgrade relies on the smooth launch onto the Ethereum Testnet of Constantinople. The Testnet is being called Ropsten and has been the main platform for developers to test out the code, which they will use on Sunday. The original test release was supposed to happen last week, but the coders discovered a bug in one of the changes that will be implemented as part of the upgrade.

Travis Kling shared a chart that showed bitcoin might be set for a bullish breakout in May 2020. Consider taking a contrarian stance because a post-halving dump happened in the past. Even if there’s a massive shakeout, bitcoin looks poised for a bull run this year. Bitcoin has been struggling to keep its bullish momentum alive since it topped out at $9,188.10 earlier this month. The cryptocurrency is down nearly 10% from the yearly high. Many are saying that the bear market is not yet over. They claim that bitcoin is due for a plunge. Travis Kling of crypto asset management firm Ikigai is not among the bitcoin doomsayers. The chief investment officer believes that the top cryptocurrency is due for a rampaging bull run. https://www.facebook.com/wasantha.amarasinghe.14

Ink brushes are used in Chinese calligraphy as well as in Japanese and Korean calligraphy which both have roots in Chinese calligraphy. They are also used in Chinese painting and other brush painting styles. The ink brush was invented in China around 300 B.C.[1][2] Together with the inkstone, inkstick and Xuan paper, these four writing implements form the Four Treasures of the Study. The earliest intact ink brush was found in 1954 in the tomb of a Chu citizen from the Warring States period (475-221 BCE) located in an archaeological dig site Zuo Gong Shan 15 near Changsha. The primitive version of an ink brush found had a wooden stalk and a bamboo tube securing the bundle of hair to the stalk. Legend wrongly credits the invention of the ink brush to the later Qin general Meng Tian.[citation needed] Traces of the writing brush, however, were discovered on the Shang jades and were suggested to be the grounds of the oracle bone inscriptions.[5] The writing brush entered a new st
