NEW Unofficial Github Fork - https://github.com/alt-coin/gamecoinApplying aesthetic fixes and security fixes suggested and delivered by you you guys to get this coin back on track.
If you're getting "wallet out of sync" errors, this should solve it and ensure we're all on the correct blockchain.
Keep an eye on this post for download links to binaries as they become available.
(That being said, anyone who can compile these binaries, especially QT for Win/OSX, have at it maybe?)
UPDATE: Petr1fied has developed and implemented the changes to the difficulty algorithm, and updated all general coin details:
OK guys we have a hard fork in place which will take place at block 25200 which is 2189 blocks away at the time I type this. (Halfway between the next 2 difficulty adjust points under the original code). As we're currently on a 0.127671 difficulty and still not meeting the 2.5 minute target I expect the difficulty to go down at block 24192 for the final leg towards block 25200.
What does this hard fork change?This hard fork took inspiration from the recent hard fork to Mincoin which in recent days has proved very effective at keeping the difficulty at an appropriate value for the network to ensure blocks are solved at or around the target timeframe consistantly.
Once you are running the new version of GameCoin, from block 25200 the difficulty will be evaluated once every 48 blocks. This should be around once every 2 hours after the difficulty stabilizes for the size of the network. Also the difficulty will come down 4 times faster than it rises so this should ensure that we're not at too high a difficulty for too long in the event we get flash miners targeting the coin.
