-Metropolis Byzantium hits testnet on September 18th
-Difficulty Bomb on September 22nd will reduce current income by approximately 20%
-Metropolis Byzantium go live on October 9th (not a final date, subject to change)
-Mining rewards will increase by approximately 23% after Metropolis Byzantium goes live
-It looks likely that Chinese Miners and Investors are going to fork Ethereum with the Metropolis Byzantium Update (Ethereum Ice? Icereum?)
-Removing the Difficulty Bomb
-Leaving Issuance at 5
-Never going to POS
-Setting max supply to 1billion with a halving at 500m issued (27 years from now?)
-Pre-mining 100m coins

Thoughts? If everyone stops mining ethereum, there will be obvious price changes. What will you guys do?
