Well said Bitslapper
On that note, I would like to release Core 1.0.2 which is a mandatory update by 1/22/2015 12:00 GMT - 6.Ubuntu-1.0.2
Windows-1.0.2This includes many improvements to the Core, with block Version 3 activating at Unix Timestamp: 1421949600
Some key changes for Block Version 3 Activation:Difficulty:+ Difficulty requirement of 1/2 block time after reserves are above 40 minute supply [~1000 CSD].
+ Maximum increase now 7.5% rather than previous 12% for GPU Channel.
+ CPU difficulty multipliers for maximum increase now 10, decrease now 5.
+ Difficulty adjustment now linear change of maximum % increase or decrease. This means that the fraction is not capped at a maximum proprotion, but the proportion is gradually applied based on the times. If the block time is 3x required time, the difficulty can decrease up to 75%, if time is 2x required, it will decrease 37%, ect. If the block time is 5 seconds, and required is 150 seconds maximum increase would be: ( (150 - 5) / 150 ) * Maximum_Increase. This will make difficulty adjustments much smoother.
Rewards:+ Maximum Block Reward of 3 Minutes Supply decayed at Channel Height [~ 73 CSD] when reserves are above 20 minute supply [~500 CSD]
+ Maximum Block Reward of 2.5 Minutes Supply decayed at Chain Age [~ 60 CSD] when reserves are above 4 minute supply [~100 CSD]
+ Fractional Rewards based on time when reserves below 4 minutes Supply.
Debug:+ Debug LLP: Now I can remotely monitor your debug data, to ensure all the nodes are synchronized and agreeing. I can then activate latent checks that can report their results to me - ensuring that I can test updates in the background and monitor globally before they become enforced rules.
Thank You,Viz.It is a good idea to have lock-unlock function on some other versions of the wallet
