Ethereum Cat Herders Update #5
Hello everyone! The ECH weekly update is here with our progress over the past week and updates from the ECH call. We hoped to publish an ECH update every week and share the progress on the tasks being performed by the group, but we’ve decided to have the group call bi-weekly. Therefore, it would make more sense for us to publish a bundled update every other week.

- Coindesk published an article about Ethereum’s ProgPoW Proposal: An Expensive Game of Whack-a-Mole.
- PhoenixMiner (a popular Ethash miner) has released support for ProgPoW in their latest version: https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/b0aq1q/phoenixminer_42a_beta_released/ but they currently support only the BCI ProgPoW version may be adaptable to the ETH version.
- You can follow the live discussion about ProgPow on our Gitter channel.
Note: All articles/blogs mentioned here are not necessarily published by Cat Herders. It is just for awareness.
Hardfork Coordination
The first internal call was scheduled on 13 March 2018 to discuss the future Hard Fork Coordination. We brainstormed with various stakeholders including some members of the ECH group and Boris Mann around the requirements of the task. You may find issues added here. The scope and processes on how to proceed require more clarification.
Thank you for reading and sharing your feedback 🙏. Please share your question, comments, and suggestions with me at Twitter.
