The much-awaited Constantinople hard fork face yet another setback last week after an alleged "Consensus" issue caused developers to term the testnet "Not usable," as per a tweet from Ethereum infrastructure firm Infura on Oct.13.
As stated by several Ethereum developers, the Constantinople became active on the Ropsten testnet at block no.
Testing results caused consensus issues on Ropsten, which led developer Afri Schoedon to note that while developers are actively investigating the issue, there would be "No Constantinople" in 2018.no constantinople in 2018, we have to investigate.
Infura further advised developers and Ethereum enthusiasts to utilize testnets other than Ropsten while the issue is being investigated.
Schoedon followed up his initial message with another note on Oct. 14, during the Ethereum core developers' call.
All developers unanimously agreed that further "Major issues" on Ropsten would cause the Constantinople hard fork to be indefinitely delayed.
To add to this, we just agreed on the last all-core-dev call on Friday that we will not be able to activate Constantinople this year if there are any major issues on Ropsten.
Everyone, stay tuned for the Ropsten Constantinople call on next Friday.
For the uninitiated, the Constantinople hard fork is a system-wide Ethereum update to improve the network's efficiency, apart from drastically enhancing the user experience for both developers and end-users.
The Ropsten testnet arrived ahead of schedule in late-2016, which at the time, was received by the community as a positive sign of the upcoming Constantinople testnet.
