RE: Ethereum hard fork will officially occur October 17th 2017
The hard fork includes a reduction of the block reward from 5 ETH per block to 3ETH. This is important for the miners, mining profitability will drop on the short term, but after a few days the situation will likely stabilize, if enough miners stop mining ETH or the ETH price rise.
The rest of users have nothing to worry as long as they are using updated wallets and nodes.
