DigitalCoin V3 has now been released.


From xawksow (a Digitalcoin Foundation Developer):

This release requires a hard fork as we've changed from being a single algorithm Scrypt coin into a multiple algorithm coin.


From block number 1028000 which is when the hard fork will happen DigitalCoin will be mined with Scrypt alongside the two new algorithms which are SHA and X11

It was expected that the fork would take place at some point on or around the middle of December.

However this will not now be the case because someone started mining with a huge amount of Scrypt hash power.

So this fork will now happen very quickly. Please update your DGC clients and daemons as soon as you can.

The three algorithms will work alongside each other and the difficulties will be adjusted so that there should be 1 block found every 40 seconds on average regardless of which algorithm it's mined with.

The block reward will change to 5 DGC per block from block 1028000, the fork block.

The new QT wallet is pretty nice. New features some old stuff fixed. I think HashEngineering will have the updated Android wallet next week.
