Ethereum Hard Fork is Now Planned For 20th of July

Parity and Geth have a date for the hard-fork

Hello Community,Both clients, Parity and Geth have a hard-fork implementation for The DAO now, which is not yet released but can be expected soon.Both set the date of the hardfork to Block number 1 920 000.This will be shortly before the 21.07., which is the date in which the attacker can split (See the important deadlines in this post by Christoph Jentzsch).

What does this mean for other clients?

Other clients like pyethereum, or libethereum  already started their implementations of the hard-fork, so it is  certain that they will release a new version including the hardfork with  the same date.

What does this mean for me as token holder?

The  funds of the whitehat DAOs and blackhat DAO will be moved to a  withdrawal contract, in which one will be able to withdraw his or her  share of Ether.Yet  this means that innocent child-DAOs will not be included. People that  split in such a child-DAO before the attack would need to do a regular  split, this affects ~ 34,000 Ether. People who split after the attack,  the best thing is to join the slack and join the #child_dao_community channel for further coordination.

What happens to the extraBalance?

According to Vlad Zamfir on Reddit,  the extraBalance will be “returned to purchaser”; anyone who can prove  that she bought tokens during the creation phase at a higher rate of  100:1 should contact the curators and will get their contribution to the  extraBalance refunded.

What do I have to do as a token holder?

At this moment there is not much more to do than waiting a bit longer and wait for the updated clients.We hope this solves most of your questions, if not, please join the slack or ask your question here or in the daohub forum
