URGENT ALL MINERS: The community is below assault. The assault is a computational DDoS, i.e. miners and nodes must spend a really very long time processing some blocks. That is because of the EXTCODESIZE opcode, which has a reasonably low fuel value, however requires nodes to learn state data from disk; assault transactions name this opcode roughly 50,000 occasions per block. The result’s that the community slows down rather a lot, however there’s NO consensus failure or reminiscence overload. Now we have at the moment recognized a number of routes for a extra sustainable mid-term repair and have builders engaged on implementation.
It’s extremely advisable to change to Parity mining. Use these settings:
–cache-size-db 1024 –gas-floor-target 1000000 –gasprice 50000000000

In the event you proceed to make use of geth, use the next settings:
–cache 1024 –targetgaslimit 1000000 –gasprice 50000000000
