Good news
in ca 12 hours I will start a test-chain
in which we will replay the upcoming fork-situation in high-speed-mode
to check how the network will react and whether the algo-transition goes through smoothly.
Summary of what we are going to test:
1) First 399 blocks are in SpreadDoubleKetchup-mode
2) From block 400 onwards we switch to the new hash-algo (SpreadDoubleKetchupPrimeGradeABeef)
You will be able to see how the hashrate changes. The difference is negligible and barely measurable, but check for yourself later.
3) Afterwards we test the update-signalisation
4) test-net will terminate (no new blocks possible) after 1000.
Everyone is free to join.
I will be available on the official Slack-channel during the test, so if you haven't yet,
join Slack:
Slack-Invitation-LinkI'll post download-links and github when I'm ready (approximately in 12 hours)
The test-chain has its own blockchain and port (52001)
so you can run it side-by-side with zettelkasten.
I gave it a different coin-name and address-room, because some people are idiots and will try to send ZETTEL to this test-chain if it was possible.
I'd love to see a few people throw some CPU-power on that test,
the more people join the quicker the test (consisting of 1000 blocks) will be over.
After this first test has been found successful, I will merge the new code with main net and drop the update.
We will still do more of these 1000 block quick-test afterwards, they shouldn't take longer than 10 hours each,
and should I find minor bugs, I will release revised versions for main net.
Happy mining and thanks for your patience.
