13% of Ethereum Nodes Are Offline, Thanks To Buggy Code

Lol, Ethereum again has software issues.

Ethereum nodes run on several software programs. The most prominent of which are Geth, Parity-Ethereum and OpenEthereum.

The majority of clients use Geth. However, a sizable number, that is over 13% use Parity-Ethereum and OpenEthereum.

But bugs have caused these nodes to stop working.

First hinted at in May and June on GitHub, minority clients Parity-Ethereum and OpenEthereum versions 2.7 and later contain an unknown critical bug that stops nodes from syncing with the network’s latest block. Source

Now, this is going to further delay ETH 2.0 launch.
