Reminder: Once a supermajority (95%) of mining reaches block version 2, version 1 blocks will be rejected. Effectively, this is a network-wide upgrade. This event seems likely to occur in the next week. Version 2 block specification: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0034bitcoind 0.7.2 was the first to support block v2. Watching for the event: http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/top.php The text is at the bottom: "We are currently at 100 out of the latest 1000 blocks on version 1 (10.00%) and 899 out of the latest 1000 blocks on version 2 (89.90%)" Users should not be impacted. Some ancient miners will produce newly-invalid blocks (v1), that will get ignored. The easy solution is to mine using a recent bitcoind (0.8.1 or later ideally). If you are a miner and need help upgrading to v2, ping us on #bitcoin-dev or bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net. Particular impact might be felt in the merged-mining and 'getwork' mining communities, because they are most likely to be running ancient software that is difficult to upgrade. |

Deepbit has already upgraded. That's one of the reasons this network event is approaching sooner rather than later. |

AFAIK, the tx's aren't stored in a (v1 OR v2) block yet... They need a miner to put it in a v2 block. |

Prevents duplicate transaction id's from being creating, and assists in block verification, by putting block height into the special "coinbase" transaction #0 found in every block. See BIP 34: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0034 |

According to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0034#Backward_compatibility it is backwards compatible. Only miners are required to upgrade. |

I have 0.7.0-beta. How will this affect me?
From what I understand, it looks like my client wouldn't recognize v2 blocks.

Older clients will recognize v2 blocks just fine. This is largely a mining issue. |

Upgrading is only a concern for solo miners and pool operators, correct?  |
