Title: [DGC] DigitalCoin V1 Release | Mandatory Update
Post by: baritus on October 13, 2013, 12:32:51 PM
Hello,

This is a multi-faceted hard fork and as such it's important that all DGC users update as soon as possible.

Update Details
Rewards: 15 coins per block
Block Time: 40 seconds
Blocks to Retarget: 108 block retarget time (~72 min)
Other: UPNP support enabled, a new checkpoint is added, and the alert system has been updated.

You must update before block 523,800 or the digitalcoin network will no longer accept your client.

Thank you,
Baritus

Yup, 50/100% steps are too big. I think 15% steps are even better. FTC and PXC have 9% max up/down and that's working smooth, no multipool issues anymore.

Really looking forward to this one.

It's a perfect update, but block 523800?Why? Because of CryptoAave? It's more than a month!

I assume it's for many reasons.

Mostly to give everyone enough time and warning to update their clients.

Also to give everyone a fair chance at mining DGC and purchasing DGC at a fair price so no one can call fowl at the rewards dropping.

Will this have any effect on the total number of coins ie 200M?

It is pretty lame to change the block reward when it was promised:
Quote
Reward: 20 coins per block, halved every 3 years
It hasn't even been a year yet.

That wasn't promised, that was planned. DGC is able to adjust to the environment when the community agrees on a change.

Sounds fair to me. Its not like this change was thrust upon people without any discussion or lead in time too. This is a good change, importantly to relieve downward pressure on the market amongst other things and will benefit the dgc community in the long term.

Seems not, cryptocoinexplorer needs to update.

I sent them an email and updated their thread.

I got Coinwarz to update their stats and I'm waiting on an answer from coinchoose (which is still showing 20 block rewards).
