Today I received the news of a new Hard Fork for Ethereum. It really does not surprise me very much, I already saw it coming and what perhaps surprises me is that they have waited so long. The only one known so far was the Ethereum Classic but, well, the reasons for that fork are more than known by all.
This new Hard Fork is called EtherZero and will take place on January 18, 2018.

The details of the Hard Fork are these:
- Fork height: 4936270 block
- Time: Jan 19th 2018 GMT 19:00-21:00
- Allocation: Total supply is about 116 million ETZ
- Each ETH distributes 1 ETZ
- Reserve 20 million ETZ for subsequent development
- Newly increased: about 6 million ETZ per year (about 5% inflation and declining year by year)
According to what they say, Fees will not be charged per transaction, that is, Gas is not needed as in ETH and thousands of transactions per second will be possible, something that can not be done in ETH hehehe.
How real is all that?
I could not say it honestly.
I guess we just have to wait until January 18 and see how much luck this Hard Fork Ethereum has. Already imagined what many who own Ethereum will be thinking ;) Free Money! Well it seems that yes, now it's your turn.
