Monero v15 network upgrade successful

Block 2688888¹ was mined and it looks like Monero’s v15 network upgrade was successful:

Block hash (height): 6bd4550a97aaba2eeab7be8cd70041ba0651e1a25300a4b963c83eb764a7149c (2688888)

The network did encounter a one-time minor issue which led to the loss of ~50 transactions at fork height:

[..] at the fork height old txs got dropped from pools because they didn’t have the minimum fee. (jberman)²

[..] we lost about 50tx on fork (selsta)³

v14 transactions should still be permitted for a short period, according to MRL’s Rucknium⁴:

v14 txs will be valid for another 24 hours I believe. This is the so-called “double fork” that minimizes user-level disruptions

-TrustyDwarf-⁵ shared the output of the hard_fork_info monerod⁶ command, which shows that more than 35% of nodes (~3.6K/10K) have already updated their Monero daemon to the required version (v16):

hard_fork_info version 16 not enabled, 3618/10080 votes, threshold 0 current version 15, voting for version 16

Make sure to upgrade your nodes and wallets to continue using Monero.
