Iridium Core 3.0.0
POOL OPERATORS - PLEASE UPGRADE
HARD FORK MAR 19 - Block 95250
****************************************
From @SteeveBrush:
After many IRD mugs of coffee,
Iridium Core 3.0.0 is ready! That means it's time for a new Hard Fork.
The Hard Fork will be scheduled on Monday March 19, 2018 at block
95250 (don't ask, I like this number). That should be around 12:00PM UTC time.
We want pool operators to upgrade ASAP. The wallet is coming soon!
DOWNLOAD 3.0.0 HERE https://github.com/iridiumdev/iridium/releases/latestRelease
This is an "Exchange Prep" release and here's what's inside
- blockchain sync is sped up
- fix limits to stay safe on difficulty algorithm
- Very tiny fix Zawy's coefficient. This will help the coin stick to target @ 175.0 s
- security fix to prevent a potential exploit
- get rid of annoying "Timeout error" when nodes leave
- add difficulty per block to the query method for the block explorer
- update seeds nodes to the 3 servers : MTL(CA), RBX(FR) and SDN(AU)
- update checkpoints
Where's the wallet?
The wallet is coming soon! Should be up March 14th.
Special Note for Pool Operators!
The testnet is now configurable in the config file but you'll have to recompile.
The default testnet operation:
- upgrade to V2 at block 2
- upgrade to V3 at block 10
- target 15s
Please test that your pool can pass block 10 in testnet mode.
Note: Best pool fork out of the box is forknote-pool. For handling V3 blocks, my testnet pool is setup with the forknote multi-hash lib.
