Title: Vertcoin - MANDATORY WALLET UPDATE
Post by: BorisTheSpider on January 27, 2014, 01:01:00 AM
The new wallet with Kimotos Gravity Well and updated N-factor scheduling is now available.

THIS IS A MANDATORY UPDATE - PLEASE UPDATE YOUR WALLET NOW

We have chosen a fork height of block 26754 which should occur on or around Saturday 1st February 2014 (5 days from wallet release). Difficulty will retarget every block after this block height.

We have also backported all the fixes from Litecoin 0.8.6.2, so this release is Vertcoin 0.8.6.2

Please use the following links rather than using vertcoin.org to download the new wallet, the links on vertcoin.org
are to the new updated wallet, but it would be appreciated if you would please use the links below instead to spread
the server load.

0.8.6.2 changes

  • Fork to Kimoto Gravity Well difficulty adjustment at block 26754 (Around midday UTC on 1st February 2014)
  • Implement new N-factor schedule
  • Update to boost 1.55 to fix Windows connectivity issue
  • Fix custom build on MacOS X 10.9
  • Fix QT5 custom build
  • Update Debian build instructions
  • Update homebrew build
  • DNS seeds updated to include vtc.kilovolt.co.uk and vtcpool.co.uk
  • Checkpoint at block 24200

Pool operators, please note that to make MPOS display the correct interval between difficulty adjustments, you will want to update /var/www/MPOS/public/include/config/global.inc.php to set
$config['coindiffchangetarget'] = 1; - please do this on fork day, at or as near to block 26754 as you can.
