[stevebrush]

Please give simple and vivid instructions as to how to go about the installation of the hardfork wallet.
Not all of us are as technically inclined as the likes of you  

#####################################################

The new gui wallet ready for the hard fork is here.

https://github.com/iridiumdev/iridium-wallet/releases/latest

Hard fork is scheduled on Friday 26th of January 2018 at block 69500.
After this block, current wallet will not work anymore. Upgrade now !

Installation for non technically inclined as the likes of me  

• 1) download the wallet application corresponding to your system
   
  • MacOs version
  • Linux version
  • Windows version
  
  
• 2) Install your newly fresh downloaded release :
   
  • MacOs : Double-clic on the Iridium_Wallet.MacOs.2.1.3.dmg, copy the Iridium_Wallet.2.1.3 to your application folder.
  • Linux : Decompress the Iridium_Wallet.Linux.2.1.3.tar.bz2 file.
  • Windows : Decompress the Iridium Wallet 2.1.3 Windows  installer.zip, run the installer, read instructions.

• 3) Launch your new wallet :
  
  • MacOs : Double-clic on Iridium_Wallet.2.1.3
  • Linux :  Double clic on the Iridium_Wallet-x86_64.AppImage
  • Windows : Double clic on the Iridium Wallet shortcut.
    If you receive any error related to Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package, install the MS Visual C++ runtime,  the installer is in the Iridium installation folder : C:\Program Files (x86)\Iridium Wallet\vcredist_x64.exe
    
  
  

You can verify that you are running the expected version in "About Iridium menu", you should read Iridium Version 2.1.3-"something". That's it.

PS : https://irdpool.fr is now running the hard fork ready core.

No, it should be ok

[pinball_wizard]

Good work guys! This coin always surprise me....and now....EXCHANGE!!!!

[schyter]

Steve, you should really consider getting some project funding from block reward.

Masternodes budgeting system would have been great but since we dont have it we could consider allocating a little percentage for development.

I dont have much IRD at all.
I am mining with 1 AMD rx 480
But i dont want this coin to suffer due to lack of funding

Instructions still valid for this new 2.1.3 version.

the link https://github.com/iridiumdev/Iridium-wallet/releases/latest will always point to the latest release

[IRD-PoolOperator]

I'm compiling the latest node now and will begin upgrade work shortly on https://irdpool.tk/

PS. props to the twitter account, it's what tipped me off I should check the thread today

For now, we use personal servers/vps of the community. for exchange, I don't handle this part.

If this is the case, i suggest that about 1% to 5% of the block reward is allocated to the development team to ensure the continuity of the project.
This should be hardcoded in the source code if possible

I don't think this should be hardcoded, if anything pool operators should opt into developer donations since all the cryptonote pool software supports this feature. It's how Monero handled it, along with a simple "donate" command built into the wallet.

Update: https://irdpool.tk/ is now on the new version, let me know if there's any issues.

Sudden large number of orphaned blocks on your pool that co-incides with the upgrade?

I'm investigating, if I can't find a solution I may revert to the old version. Reverting now.


Update: node reverted, unlocking blocks again, sent developer relevant logs.

Well then we need a miner with a built in Dev fee for the IRIDIUM devs.

Moreover the Dev fee in miner softwar is usually for the developer of the proprietary miner software and not necessarily the Dev team of the cryptocurrency.

And the one we use mines for the Monero team and not the Iridium

Like I already said, i dont want this coin to die off becaue of lack of funding.

I'm not the pool software dev and can't support that. Ask him (them) directly. I assume you that others pools are running perfectly with the new core.

Your link points to the LTC/BTC market. https://koinbi.com/markets/irdbtc brings up a 404 error, nor is IRD anywhere in your list of markets.

Edit: Beaten like a rented mule. The point remains however.

[ChPan]

Koinbi.com is a SCAM
Do not enter or deposit anything there or you will lose it

[schyter]

KOINBI is a one way SCAM exchange.

You can only deposit and you can never withdraw

[Alexey Sukharev]

KOINBI is SCAM.
Decker lost 7000 STRAKS there.

[garytheasshole]

Quite an elaborate scam.

http://irdpool.tk is upgraded (again) to the new HF node. I had to removed a very old workaround I did due to a bug in the original node. Sorry for the inconvenience.
