Dear fellow Reddheads:

PoSV is now officially released. You can download the PoSV wallet v1.3.0.0 for Windows/Linux/Mac at this link. PoSV will start at block 260800 which is expected to be minted around 7pm UTC, 2nd August 2014. (Who will be the lucky one?) The total amount of RDD mined in PoW phase will be just a tad shy of 27 billion, which is about 500m less than we originally estimated.

All users (except mining pools)

1- Encrypt your existing wallet.dat because staking is only possible with encrypted wallets.
2- Back up wallet.dat
3- Remove all files and folders in your Reddcoin home folder except wallet.dat
4- Uninstall old wallet. Install wallet v1.3.0.0
5- Start wallet and re-sync blockchain.
6- Set staking=0 in reddcoin.conf if you want to disable staking (e.g. if you are an exchange or seed node).
7- Never ever set txindex=0 (default 1) because it may interfere with staking.
8- To start staking, just unlock the wallet and wait for PoSV to arrive.
9- If you want to compile from source code, git checkout v1.3.0.0 (git tag is not tied to a branch).
10- In our github repo, master branch is now the posv branch.


Mining pools

1- Your mining daemon (the one that creates new PoW blocks and announces them to the network) must be at v1.2.1.0 (not even v1.2.0.0 which will be disconnected by all PoSV wallets). Otherwise your new blocks won't be accepted by the network.
2- Your payout daemon (the one that creates transactions to pay miners shares of block rewards) should be upgraded to v1.3.0.0 because transactions created by pre-PoSV wallets will be ignored and discarded by PoSV wallets once PoSV kicks in at block 260800.

Party

/u/hoppipoppipolla is hosting our (in)famous music DJ party at http://plug.dj/reddcoin-com-r-reddcoin/

Additional information

1- All exchanges, block explorers etc are being notified.
2- I'll be posting more information on PoSV in coming days. There will be a public quiz contest for PoSV with awards to top scorers.
3- Please ask any question below and I'll add some of them to this post.
4- You can now shut down all nodes on testnet.

Finally, a huge thank you to all who have helped us test PoSV. It's your efforts and contribution that make this release possible.

Hi, what's wrong with this transaction?

Removed from Bittrex due to double spend

Dear fellow Reddheads:

I'm going to release the public alpha version of PoSV daemon and QT wallet in coming days, probably as early as this weekend. In order to start minting straight away when you get hold of the wallet, you need to mine and age some coins on testnet now.

Dear fellow Reddheads:
We've just made a new minor release of our QT/daemon wallet: version 1.2.1.0
We highly recommend you all to upgrade due to numerous new features:

• New splash and about images.
• New checkpoint.
• OpenSSL 1.0.1h for the most recent security fix.
• Better support for DNS seeds for significantly improved network sync speed.
• Alert broadcast system.
• New RPC calls.
• Numerous fixes and improvement from upstream Bitcoin and Litecoin.
• Bump protocol version to prepare for PoSV.

On Saturday, to celebrate the halving, we are going to unveil our next-generation wallet with details on the invitation-only beta testing. Make sure you check out the subreddit this Saturday!
Regards
Reddcoin core team

Dear Reddheads:
I'm glad to announce that phase 1/3 of internal testing has been successfully completed. The three main phases are:
1) full backward compatibility between the master and PoSV branches in terms of PoW mining and transaction + block data structures
2) checkpoint broadcast
3) minting/staking
After internal testing finishes, I'll start invitation-only beta testing followed by public beta. Stay tuned.

Devs,

we are still seeing what looks to be attacks on the network.. With confirmations set to 60, we are still seeing orphaned transactions

Is there a fix coming for these types of issues?

Thanks,

The question is, who lie; redd or cryptsy?

Hey Reddcoin..... (self.reddCoin)

submitted a minute ago by Beaverslayer1

Why is it, that every time I post something asking when or why Cryptsy is not accepting deposits/withdrawals my post gets deleted?

Is this how Reddcoin treats people who are coin holders and miners?

Cryptsy has told me that the Developers have requested that deposits/withdrawals be suspended, and I'd like to know how long before this is rectified....simple question....why delete the posts? just answer the question....Please


And now. I have been banned from the Reddcoin Reddit. This is an amazing way to help your coin by banning people who not only hold Reddcoins, but mine them as well. Is there some sort of exclusivity required to be a Reddcoin holder/miner? Do I have to bequeath my first born and my lifelong devotion to just Reddcoin?

Simple question, requires a simple answer, yet Reddcoin Reddit does not allow such.
