[TRC] new 0.1.3-30 mandatory update

[celkaris]

received 30 mins ago from trc mailing list:

Hi,

Urgent, mandatory build 0.1.3-30 is now available at our github
repository, windows builds were uploaded to sourceforge.

This build will be mandatory at block 101631. You may update your
terracoin installation now, the new algorithm will not be applied until
block 101631 is created.

This update provide a new difficulty computation mechanism, in order to
prevent the huge difficulty variations we saw the last few days, and
return to normal operations.

This algorithm uses a type of finite impulse response filter
(exponential moving average or EMA), to smooth out short-term
fluctuations in delay between blocks.

The last 2160 blocks are used to compute this ema (roughly 3 days worth
of blocks).

Some code was also added to speedup the return to normal operations, by
providing one-shot lower difficulties on blocks taking more than 20
minutes during the first 3 days following the update.

All branches are updated and available at our github & sourceforge
repositories.
Windows binaries are also available at our sourceforge.net mirror.

Nice! Glad I held onto my TRC

This is coming up awfully quick. Alert pool and other service operators if you know them.

unfortunately ... no ... this isn't going to be as quick as we think : the current blockchain is damn stalled .. every single block takes 4 to 12 hours ...

The last block took only 45 minutes, actually!

Of course, it's been over an hour since then...

I'll try to update my (paltry) mining power tonight.

Is this news the reason why we're back up to 0.00440000?

[coinotron]

Coinotron client updated.

i guess this update release added quite a few orders when announced, but it looks like miners are just waiting for the diff to go down before joining

i'm getting nervous while waiting for those 4 tiny last blocks,  mining it with every single piece of sillicium i have right now
(no way i miss the reasonable diff opportunity this time)

[MessyCoin]

Thanks for the heads-up on this.

Also suggest people should subscribe to receive update notifications by email at SourceForge.net, in case they miss a notice like this in the forums.

Not much notice with this latest mandatory update. I hope it helps the network get back on track!

we need miners!  big one's 3 more blocks and we're THERE!

i can't agree more !

p2pool's pushing some hashes, currently @5+ Ghashes/s but ... we need more,more and more miners !

reading the code, i think the diff will go from 135238 to 33810 as soon as we reach the code update block (past 101631 ?) this will probably make the coin more profitable to mine (not yet above 100% with the first retarget, but after that...), eventually attracting more miners ?

[spacegoat]

celkaris i think you're right.

i wonder how we could get the atteention of miners

[Acesbomb]

Lending a hand with 3 7970s. Expect a spike today or tomorrow.

Downloaded the update and have 3 connections to the network. Good thing too, as I'm 5 days behind.

Now just 10 hours behind with 12 connections, I'd say that terracoin is far from dead!

I'm stuck at 10 hours ago, but it has all the blocks... I guess it's waiting for the next block to count as caught up.

So has it really been 11 hours since the last TRC block?

[celkaris]

yes, it's been a while


it could take just a few minutes to find two consecutive blocks, or .. hours .. i'm trying to help by using anything that can mine here, but as i have no real mining rig (yet?) i'm not helping that much

EDIT : just got one more (101629) :p
