WARNING!

Dear partner,

Recently we revealed bug in the blockchain indexing subsystem.
This is a local bug, not a fork, and all your money or Names are safe.
This bug affects Emercoin 0.6.0 only.
We released upgraded version, 0.6.1, contains bugfix.
You can download it from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/emercoin/files/0.6.1/ (source https://github.com/emercoin/emercoin/releases/tag/v0.6.1emc)
At the 1st run, program will reindex your blockchain, for reapir possible issues.
This will take about 1 hour.

If you will not download/install ontime, you have a risk to suddenly freeze of your
blockchain - your client will reject a new blocks from the Emercoin network.

If you will face so, just download and install a new wallet,
and it will repair your index, and continue work.

For what purpose?

Ok.  First try to remove peer.dat and restart wallet. If this does not work, you need to reload the blockchain.

OS and wallet version?

I think DPO is most applicable. For example, does anyone want to get a counterfeit medicine? Therefore, the patient has the right to demand the guarantee of the authenticity of medicines from the manufacturer.

Oleg Khovayko, Emercoin CTO, told ForkLog the project’s assumed rivals were trying to undermine the company’s reputation with spam in Slack channel.
According to Khovaiko, the attacks are growing more sophisticated as the spammers mimic Emercoin’s official newsletters, and use a popular corporate messenger app for that purpose.
Thus, a user named buycoin sends out ads of the company’s solution based on outdated software to users having some relation to cryptocurrencies.

Emercoin switches over to Merged Mining.

http://www.blockchainengine.org/merged-mining-btc-emercoin

Technical Features:
Block mining is only available after a new customer has created any 950 blocks from the 1,000 most recent. Until then, MM blocks are rejected.
Compared with client version 0.5.X, the latest 0.6.0 version has undergone significant alterations:
Merged mining with Bitcoin is now available.
The not critical double-vote PoS vulnerability has been fixed.
The rarely experienced freezing of a wallet with a large number of transactions has been eradicated.

Emercoin 0.5.2 Release available!

What's new:

1) Merged with bitcoin 0.10.4. This allows to create transactions that cannot be spent until certain time/height.
2) QT and CLI now has unicode support by default (Univalue lib). This will display Unicode symbols in name value, but please note: do not use it for binary data.
3) RPC can also enable unicode, but you need to specify "-legacyrpc=0" in your emercoin.conf.
4) Name commands now have parameter for binary input/output as a hex or base64 encoded strings.
5) Some minor bugfixes (emercoin-cli could crash client during client startup).
6) More info about wallet lock state in getinfo ("encrypted": true, "mintonly": true)
7) Added ENUM support (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/ENUM)

Podcast: Discuss about Emercoin Blockchain based Network Security

Oleg Khovayko, Chief Technology Officer @ Emercoin participates in Risk Roundup to discuss “Blockchain based Network Security”.

Good news!

Russian blockchain startup HashCoins is developing a service for certification of vehicle titles based on EmerCoin blockchain, which seeks to make the work of relevant state offices more efficient. The new solution may also prove useful to manufacturers of various motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, tractors, motor bikes, and light airplanes, all of which demand some sort of certification.

Any online, mass service carries risks (exchange and including). This must be understood. If you want to have full control and confidence, and also functionality of the online service, you can install the web-based wallet (http://www.blockchainengine.org/deploy/) on your own server (VPS, colocation, etc. ).
