What are these scheduled hard forks? Is it a property built into Monero's algorithm or is it a process centrally planned by the governance.
- elmar 9y agoMonero has schedule hard-forks for software upgrade
- dna_polymerase 9y agoI am not too sure, but someone in the Monero space told me that it is some kind of "voting on Moneros direction"-thing. Basically by forking the community decides what the developers should do.
- tylersmith 9y agoThe developers have a release cycle that includes periodic hard forks. AFAIK there is nothing algorithmic to entice or force a fork like the Ethereum difficulty bomb does.
- AndrewBissell 9y agoThe scheduled hard fork is announced weeks in advance, and high-profile clients like exchanges are "strongly encouraged" to upgrade. If you run your own XMR full node on an old version past the fork date, you get a bright red warning message telling you to get the new version.
- matthewbauer 9y agoThat sounds extremely centralized.
- plasticmachine 9y agoAnyone can be a Monero contributor and can work on the hard fork.
