The DAO, although not a creation of the Ethereum Foundation, has emerged as a prominent subject recently, both within the organization and among our community. The Hard Fork is a sensitive subject and in our perspective, there is no definitive right choice. Since this is not a resolution that can be determined by the foundation or any solitary entity, we once more appeal to the community to gauge its preferences\u00a0to deliver the most suitable protocol modification.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The configuration suggested for the hard fork that is being rolled out in the Geth client is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The DAO (<\/span>0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413<\/span><\/span>), its additionalBalance (<\/span>0x807640a13483f8ac783c557fcdf27be11ea4ac7a<\/span><\/span>), all offspring of the DAO creator (<\/span>0x4a574510c7014e4ae985403536074abe582adfc8<\/span><\/span>) and the additional balance of each offspring are stored in a list L at block 1880000. The details of L can be observed <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. At the commencement of block X (X = 1920000, on July 20 or 21 depending on your region), all ether across all accounts in L will be moved to contract account C, located at (<\/span>0xbf4ed7b27f1d666546e30d74d50d173d20bca754<\/span><\/span>). You can verify the solidity source code of C on etherscan<\/a><\/span>. From this contract, DAO token holders can submit their DAO in order to withdraw ETH at a rate of 1 ETH = 100 DAO. The additional balance, along with some leftover ether resulting from issues in the interactions between the re-entrancy exploit and the division mechanism, will be retrievable by the DAO curator to be allocated accordingly to address all edge cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Further details to aid in confirming the fork specs and execution are anticipated to be published separately by the community; consensus code in Geth that enacts the fork logic is encompassed by the bug bounty program<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Regrettably, time constraints necessitate quick acceptance before any protocol change becomes unfeasible. The community tool\u00a0<\/span>carbonvote<\/span><\/a> will be utilized to establish the default fork choice for Geth. At block number 1894000 the votes will be counted, and the result will dictate\u00a0whether the\u00a0default is set to fork<\/em> or\u00a0not to fork<\/em>. Following that, combining the <\/span>DAO fork PRs<\/a>\u00a0will commence<\/span>, soon to be followed by a release for both Geth and Mist. Users with crucial business applications who\u00a0must update swiftly should regularly monitor the blog and social media for continuing updates.<\/span><\/p>\n
