Please help get the word out.  You have lots of notice yet there still a lot of 8.6.2 old wallet show up in getpeerinfo.  Cry  You MUST get on 0.8.7.3 NOW.  It only takes a minute.  Thank you!

Sorry for colorful text but must get attention  Grin

This is simple update, makes adjust of block reward algorithm per community request, and few minor fixed/updates.  At block 60,000  new algorithm goes into effect, so must update before, otherwise you see out of sync message etc.  So update now, and all is well.  More info in official thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=392804.0

Also once you are on 0.8.7.3, come over to http://forum.bitparticle.com and say hi to everyone and see our new trollbox.

But right now, if you are on old 8.6.2, please download and update 0.8.7.3 NOW.  Thank you everyone!

It is by popular demand / community requested change to mining algorithm, so I implemented it.  Calculations for block reward will change, and therefore the blockchain will change as new blocks are generated, this is called a "hardfork" because the new blocks are different than if they are written using the old algorithm.  So it is important for everyone to get on new wallet so everyone is using new algorithm and nobody get left behind on old chain.
