Some Ethereum miners claimed to carry out a 51% "attack" demonstration on April 1. 71% of Chinese miners surveyed did not support it.

Wu said blockchain learned that recently some overseas Ethereum miners planned to conduct a 51-hour show of force on April 1. The miners called for the transfer of computing power to Ethermine, an opposing mining pool of EIP-1559, on April 1, which lasted 51 hours. Spark Mining Pool, the current largest mining pool and the one that opposes EIP-1559, did not make a statement on the demonstration. Wu said blockchain conducted a survey among the Chinese miner community and showed that 71% of miners said they would not participate in this activity. EIP-1559 aims to destroy part of the mining fee, which will lead to a 15-30% reduction in the income of Ethereum miners, but it may solve the most criticized inflation problem of Ethereum, thereby stimulating price increases. It is expected to be implemented in July.
