[ANN] [eToken] Rare | Website 11 languages | New version -> mandatory update

[suchnoob]

Hi,

we are back

The difficulty become a real issue. We are not worried about the eTOK futur, especially with the release of eTOK-Cryptomarket and this news. We are not in a good period but we working to fix this.

So we don't want to deal with difficulty issue anymore. We are going to fork the eToken to change the diff rules.

The fork will be brutal, we will do it very soon.
The fork will be brutal because we will force peoples to go in it:
 - we will update the eTOK natural nodes.
 - we will remove not updated pools from the list.
 - we will remove every downloads not updated.

All the people who don't update the client will be on the wrong blockchain.

The new rules are:
 - retarget every 24 blocks (48min)
 - diff increase max to 200% instead of 400%.

The fork block will trigger a difficulty retarget.

I'm looking right now for someone can compile the next version for windows.
I'll do a bounty for this (send me a PM).

WB! This is great news!

I think even better: you should implement kimoto gravity well so multipools can't have any advantage over traditional miners.

Dev,don't make it in hurry! You will not have second chance to hardfork it!
Think over how you must hardfork it to defend eToken from hasrate and diff jumps and drops.

[keepwalking1234]

support etoken everyday!

[zsnorbi]

kimoto gravity well may be considered. but this 24 block retarget seems pretty reasonable too, however i think 200% diff up is too much with fast difficulty changes. I guess it should be somewhere at 20% instead

[BoeserKeller]

What is wrong with 200% difficulty increase ? I don't see anything bad about it, besides keeping multipools from pumping and dumping

fork and next version not remove eTOK from my wallets? (as it occurs with Pennies)

Hi,

bows to the Kimoto Gravity Well dev, but we won't add it to eToken.

The update for the fork should be available in the nexts hours. As said, this will be brutal and lots of peoples will not notice yet the update.

When the new version release, 1 or 2 blocks will still be on 8 diff. But it should be recalculated right after this (the last effort). Then we expect the diff drop of 300-400%.

To apologies for the issue, we also added a bonus in the code. blocks 43000 to 45000 will have a x2 bonus (so 3 inferiors rewards on x2).

I still need someone to compile for windows.

edit:
@paladin you won't lose your tokens.
@zsnorbi coming soon about your PM<-pseudo mistake

Good work dev. This was needed

[pttinh]

hurry up!!!!

can't wait any more!!!

[badam]

hurry up!!!!

can't wait any more!!!

A little time must be given for service providers to notice the fork

[Mogui]

hurry up!!!!

can't wait any more!!!

The new version is available here right now.
https://github.com/etoken-project/etoken

You'll need to erase your blockchain files (.etoken/blocks and .etoken/chainstates) and the peers.dat file. DO NOT REMOVE YOUR WALLET FILE !!
Wait at least 2 minutes to sync.

Just waiting a feedback that everything works before update the website and threads.

Remember we still have to mine 2 blocks on 8.6 diff before the retarget down.

I still nedd a compiler for windows. I'll do a bounty.

Hope a windows version gets made quick :-) Or a good pool.

I've emptied the directories blocks and chainstate and started the wallet. Now it's 13 days behind, but doesn't connect

You need to wait 2-3min before it sync. Don't forget to remove peers.dat to.
To accelerate the process you can add

addnode=198.245.52.17

in your conf file.

[BoeserKeller]

Well, 2 blocks is just not enough ... There will be massive forking between the old and new client ...
