Is this going to be a mandatory update for all the wallets?
Thx.

Just consider every update mandatory.

Version 1.5.5 has been released which fixes the kgw exploit we've had a few hours ago.

Thanks, will update my wallet soon.
With these updates, do I have to keep changing my wallet.dat backup file?

You won't.

Though I do recommend updating your back up once in a while after big transactions have been made.

Thanks, nice save!

It probably is the only one running atm, i'm unaware of any others running currently. If you want to connect to other panda p2pool nodes, first you need to find one that is running. Once you find one, you must replace the IDENTIFIER and PREFIX values with the values of the other p2pool. Otherwise your pool will complain and not connect to the other pool thinking it has the same IDENTIFIER and PREFIX as it's own. Finally, you must prepend the other p2pool's node info to: BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS= variable. For example:

Code:

BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS='some.other.pool.whatever, dr-nona.office-on-the.net'.split(' '),

Thanks a lot.
I am pleased with the work of my p2pool http://dr-nona.office-on-the.net:9444 - 360 blocks in 2 days, about 18 million pandacoins (it is a good profit)
Unfortunately I could not find other p2pool nodes.
So I want to ask everyone who has his pandacoin p2pool  (PND) and wants to join in the global pool:
- to make our pools work together we need to agree the above parameters.
So send me a personal message or write in this thread

@TheCryptoRush: PND offline for maintenance as per developers request. Take yours down too, it isn't just us. Check the #OfficialPandacoin IRC for updates.
@MintPalExchange: We've suspended deposits & withdraws for PandaCoin (PND) at the request of the developers whilst they work on a patch for the client.

Is there some issue with blockchain?

Yes. Someone tried to make use of one exploit in kgw which created a fork. An update is pushed to https://github.com/pandacoin-official/pandacoin which should prevent such attacks in the future starting from block 71000.

Updated wallets will follow shortly.

Which fork? Where are my blocks (66973 - 67113)?

The one that got created at around 5am CEST. I thought only my pool (bamboohouse.info) picked it up.

Confirm my pool got on the fork too, everything back on track with the new update!

It's kind of bad that they had to exploit it right after I went to sleep. Otherwise I would have given notice and the update earlier.

@sawa
Thank you for providing a p2pool instance.

Any news about new wallet with KGW fix? OP page still showing v.1.5.4. But on multipool is information about v.1.5.5. I am confused.

The fix has been applied, It's a couple posts up...

Version 1.5.5 has been released which fixes the kgw exploit we've had a few hours ago.

https://github.com/pandacoin-official/binaries

The OP should probably be updated also with the new release...

Regarding the upcoming rebrand, there have been two options that stood out and I would like to hear some more opinions on the matter.

A serious looking submission:

The more lighthearted approach:

[Eastwind]

The first one is more like a coin. The second one is more internationally friendly.

Not sure I am looking at the right designs, is this the bottom one?  looks nice, but I can't find the top one offhand to see it properly.

Not sure what you mean be bottom one? It's included though.

Those look too pale in my opinion.
