Network Update
anetaBTC held an airdrop event yesterday and with it the hoards of airdrop hunters descended on Ergo.

EIP 0027 Soft Fork Proposal
There are a lot of concerns about the emission being over in less than six years from now. Ergo is committed to the principle that the total supply must be preserved. The long-term sustainability of the short emission schedule is an inherent risk to the long-term viability of the Ergo Network. We would like to create a system that offers economic incentives to miners while protecting the long-term crypto-economic security of the network. A 90% approval rate is required, which is a supermajority. Joseph Armeanio explains:
