The implementation bug in the GO client leads to a constant increase in the difficulty independent of the hash power.
Assigned configurations: All GO Customer Versions V1.0.X, V1.1.X, release and develop the branches. The bug was introduced into a recent update and an outing via Commit which has entered the affected customer versions. All minors carrying out previously mentioned versions are assigned and it is advisable to update as soon as possible.
Probability: High
Severity: AVERAGE
Impact: The increase in block time will result in an exponential increase in the difficulty
Details: A bug in the Go client leads to a constant increase in the difficulty in the following block, as a horoditing in the new block = horoditing + 1 of the old block, whatever the real time, during mining. This leads to an increase in difficulty regardless of hash power
Effects on the depth of reorganization of the expected chain: None
Temporary solution proposed: None
