Further, through a tweet, the talented individuals behind the Monero stated that:
“On approximately the 18th of October, there will be a scheduled network upgrade on the Monero network.to be sufficiently prepared, a user, merchant, service, pool operator, or exchange should run [upgrade their clients/interfaces].”
