oke gravity 3 fix is on github... we are going to contact everyone now.

starting with cryptsy

windows download also available on op page..

you will be rewarded later on today.

we first need to do the communication work.

currently testcompiling on platforms.... windows client ready.

linux compiling... macosx dude contacted.

- added protocol version to irc names ( for the giveaway )
- changed kgw block to 18818
- added checkpoints
- added version to splashscreen
- updated proto version to 80007
- update build version to 9999999-gravity-3

its a matter of minutes now

after push and windows upload, we will start update-giveaway on windows and linux clients within 2 hours

( we first need to contact all exchanges etc )

sorry... 18818 we mean

this is going to be a fast update and involves a lot of contacting users.

more details will follow soon.

yes this time the osx wallet will come available with 12hours

that will give us 36-48 hours to update.

a fast update of users will be done using a update-giveaway

pools, exchanges will be contacted immediately after launch by private msg/email

cryptsy will respond very fast to this.

your irc name will include network proto version

so we can check if you updated or not based on your ip.

you need to run with irc = ON.

yes, we just might do the kgw block update.

its safest, easiest and very fast to implement.

18323 might be the blocknumber of implementation

cheers

just wanna react to this... the calcs are way off when i stop doing deals with middlecoin...

they just throw 22ghash at us... instead of 5. and that would be the end of it( . i pay 2 million for each 240 block to stay off ( out of my own pocket ).

i can sustain this 10 days... so i have 20 million ( i recently bought ).

when i dont pay up.. they point 22ghash at us and it would make round time so high that other miners will leave as well.

we saw it happen before... and we see it again... even with diff 100 ppl drop off. 22ghash -> diff over 150

there is no other way. except updating.... aar. and i are looking into a method to discard shares of miners ( pools ) having more then 50% of the network.

we will update you shortly

in the deal is one 240 round.

we will update tomorrow.

+ do a update giveaway.

i hope that will resolve it all.

much work @ our side.. but is doable. not impossible.

i made almost 400k with 3mh/s in last 3 days.

ps cryptsy very fast on responding currently.

and they do work in weekend.

i will be discussing tomorrow with the other devs what to do..

we probably will bring the block back to lower levels ( by > 1000 < 1500 )

changes to code to include version number in irc already been made.

so the update-giveaway might be on ( 1-2 million coins to be given away )

more info?... tomorrow

yes.. multipools are dying.. but that wont help us now... i just make deals for the upcoming days ( doing business, see it that way )... lets hope its enough... it costs me other coins currently.

diff should not go over 100-110.

we have another 24h deal.

its not only middlecoin... we see at the normal pools an increase in hashrate as well. we might close them down on diff change for newly initiated workers. if possible. to save diff.

dont worry. we stay.

wont help against 22ghash.

they will be here again... its a very profitable coin at that low diff.

if everyone pointed their miners.. diff would go up.

becoming not profitable to middlecoin.

so they stay off

thats not completely true... you can make deals with them.

hashcows ie was very cooperative.. they understand the deal with this coin.. and dropped off completely

middlecoin is the only one that is worrysome... but also the one with the largest hashrate.

real businessmen over there... pay up etc.

or fishermen...

middlecoin asked me too much per block to stay off completely... rather i would do a fork then

true. i though we could make deals with middlecoin.

30 days is superworst scenario.

coin goes up in value, middlecoin start pointing 22ghash each time, we remain with <0.6 ghash

i am still looking for coop.

but if it turns out like this... i am going to fork it.

kgw = kimoto gravity well

very short version: diff adjusts everyblock in a graduate manner.

so no more low diff... and instant mines from middlecoin

so many factors...

if you take all scenarios...

it varies from 4-30 days.

all depends on middlecoin

we just need to get to the kgw block.

then everything changes.

its very simple.

a) they have 22ghash of miners
b) they monitor the difficulty
c) they calculate diff -> number of coins per block per second, they convert that to btc
d) so now they know what profitability is, for each coin at their current diffs
e) they sort the list, most profitable top
f) they push off the first of the list, thats what they are going to mine
g) then they redirect all 22ghash miners at it
h) they mine blocks in a near instant rate
i) they monitor while mining the diff.
j) if the diff becomes high, it takes more time to mine a block, becoming less profitable, so they leave
h) remaining miners will have to mine through high diff blocks, taking ages
k) also for them it comes less profitable... so they leave as well
l) potentially you can end up with a dead coin because of this

hope that explains it.

oke we might cause a fork... but i am gathering info now.

most important things is to get our pools and exchanges upgraded.

we are thinking about block number 19763 ( or sooner ).

The problem with determining the correct block number is as following:

a) we dont know on lowdiff block what mc does and how much hash it drops and what the resulting diff will be
b) we dont know how much ghash is being pointed in the high diff blocks ( 2 or 0.6 ghash makes a world of difference in terms of time )
c) if mc drops off completely because its not profitable enough ( or because a bit trolling of me )... we would reach it much faster
d) if mc decides to hash down block 21203.. we would be there in no time ( one of the options that was mentioned in their irc )
e) if mc does not upgrade and exchanges have.. they cannot spend their revenues

and more...

all very uncertain factors...

we cannot do future telling....

if middlecoin would do all blocks.. they would earn a whopping 730250000-116btc. Thats why they are on this. Very profitable for them
