Open Positions at CCN: Full Time and Part Time Journalists Fancy.
The EOS blockchain has ground to a halt after an apparent bug in the mainnet software grounded the network to pause unexpectedly and indefinitely.
According to a post from EOS New York published on behalf of the top 21 congest producers and standby nodes, the mainnet unexpectedly paused at 9:56 UTC, after which deny stuff up producers initiated a conference call to identify and discuss the issue. At 10:57 UTC, standby obstruct producers turned off their nodes and backed up blockchain data to help certain that no network history would be lost.
At 09:56 UTC (1 hour ago) we had an wary with transactions frozen on the EOS network globally. All the BPs are aware. We are all on a call with the other BPs to recognize empathize with and resolve this issue. No timelines yet. #eosio #mainnet

Developers specified the problem at 13:02 UTC, and an update posted on the EOS Mainnet Updates Telegram approach stated that EOS creator Block.one is developing a software patch.
“Encourage cause was due to how deferred transactions were handled. Fix is being released presently by BlockOne.”
That software release, which will be issued supervised tag 1.0.5, will introduce a nodeos fix. Once block producers accept upgraded their nodes, blocks will be replayed until the last unreversible block — 1027597, according to CryptoLions.io — and block producers will sync to each other. Irrevocably, the chain will be reopened to public access.
As CCN reported, the EOS network had not been activated on June 14, and this network fault came brief than 48 hours after the blockchain went live.
While plan b mask producers have been taking great pains to keep owners in the loop about the state of the network, the fact that the blockchain is currently being debugged on the other side of a conference call has highlighted why many critics have argued that EOS is not a sufficiently-decentralized cryptocurrency.
