https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@nyc_announcementHi @here, since yesterday we've seen to strange issues on the NewYorkCoin network.
Since (most probably) ProHashing re-enabled their mining pool towards our network, after updating their coin daemon to v1.3.0, it seems like we are suffering from network segmentation.
Probably due to the fact that when they started mining, their own coin daemon did not have connections to older nodes (v1.3 rejects nodes older than 1.2.0.x), they didnt broadcast to those older nodes.
Also miners on the older nodes didnt connect back to the 'new network' via an intermediate 1.2.0.x.
The issues, as far as we've seen, fix themselves in time, as nodes reconnect to other nodes all time. This means that they also sync up, doing a reorganize.
It seems the more 1.3 nodes that came into being and the fewer 1.2 nodes available the pre 1.2 nodes monopolize the connections to the remaining 1.2 nodes.

Bottom line: We need everybody to migrate to v1.3.0 ASAP!
Including:
* Miners (Pools and solo miners). We've contacted a few extra (Mining dutch, Mastermining) if you know extra, please reach out the the @dev-team.
* Exchanges Yobit! (Tradesatoshi has upgraded. Not sure about the rest myself)
* Coinomi (plz donate and keep donating)
