It could be a whole bunch of Amazon EC2 instances too...

That you?? you're just bragging right?

Alright, as some people are getting antsy about news, etc. I'm just going to say that this is not a short proof-of-stake/hype marketed project. I did not build everything and have it ready at launch time so I could have daily updates and releases for a couple weeks (and then have a completely dead coin).

That said, I cannot sit at the computer 24/7 due to life/work/girlfriend. Believe it or not, I do occasionally enjoy going hiking or going to the beach 

tl;dr   If you don't see me online for a day or two, don't panic.




Status Update:
Major update to version 0.10.0 is very close to ready and I should have clients available for download by the end of the day on Friday.
My build server is in good shape again so I should have windows installers as well as linux binaries for the v0.10.0 release.

I've updated the code on bitbucket. You are welcome to try it BUT, BACKUP YOUR WHOLE DATA DIR as this update will alter some items to make them unreadable by the previous version.

I have done a fair amount of testing on testnet and everything should be ok.

Seednodes have been updated and I should have compiled wallets and installers ready either tonight sometime or tomorrow.

If everything goes smoothly, I'll be turning my attention to getting a pool or something setup/working.

thanks for the update, good to know this coin has a "dev" worth having that title with some programming skills. Marketing and PR is secondary.

Long live the DROP

Ok that went faster than expected wallet links in the ANN updated  

I've tested the 32 and 64 bit windows installers and the osx wallet. They seem fine so far except for the osx wallet that crashed once in 3 hours due to some networking error on a hackintosh system that is known to have a network driver issue.

If you get a warning asking if you want to rebuild the block index (or similar) just click ok and everything should go fine.

Again, BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP before you update

Now the official wallet is faster than this or not?

The only way to know for sure is to test it. What may be faster for one person could be slower for another.

Before doing anything make plenty of backups.

I tried it and it is a little slower.

Only file worth backing up is that wallet.dat file from the App data folder. Bitspill's x64 wallet miner works best for me, I tried Dev's new wallet's miner and it's no good for me. I just don't want to be on a fork, is this update mandatory?
