To Whom It May Concern:

The Problem
   About a week ago i messaged BitJohn and requested that trading of Nanotokens be halted while i investigated a problem with the network. As fate would have it, The block chain has become stuck and the wallets are unable to sync. This is probably due to a multiple of factors, such as

-a node going offline before a found block could be broadcast.
-low hashrate
-high difficulty(Stranded)

Addressing The Problem
   Now I have been very busy with the release of J-coin and providing support on some other projects that i am a silent partner in, but the time has come for me to address the issue. Yesterday, i submitted my proposed changes to muddafudda for proofreading and pushing to the github. During the build process, we are erroring out on unused variables in main.cpp

TL; DR version:
I've fixed:

• diff retarget
• installed a checkpoint
• decrease target timespan
• adds subsidy halving

Work That remains:

• 1. Fix main.cpp unused variables
• 2. Build Client
• 3. Fork chain
• 4. Install a checkpoint on 1st block of fork and 2nd block of fork just to be safe
• 5. recompile
• 6. submit changes to repo
• 7. announce mandatory client update and new source

ETA: 1 week

Thanks for the updates.  All is not lost...   :)
