Hello @everyone,
After much testing, it is my pleasure to announce that we're ready for the 3.4 upgrade.
I expect that many of you will have questions about the upgrade. If I miss something, please feel free to reach out to me with your questions so I can do my best to answer them.
As for the upgrade, here's some information you need to know.
First, we will be forking the chain. The fork is scheduled to occur at block 1101600. All services will put their wallets into maintenance mode before this block. Anyone wishing to join the forked chain will need to upgrade their wallets to 3.4. Do not accept payments as valid on and after this block on the old chain. If you do, when you upgrade, you will find that you do not have that coin since it was sent to you after the fork.
Second, there will be no risk to coin already on the chain prior to block 1101600. At no time will any measures be taken to affect current holdings. If you are staking, you'll stake in exactly the same way after the wallet upgrade. If you are running a masternode, you will need to restart your node after the wallet upgrade.
Third, the forked chain will be private for about a week. The reasons are technical, but singularly focused on ensuring the forked chain is stable before taking on the load of the public network. I'm expecting that the forked chain will become publicly available around block 1111680. Because the forked chain will be private, you will not see a new bootstrap, wallet, or GitHub finalizing commits until a few days before the public release of the forked chain.
Lastly, a word of caution, at times like this, scammers love to impersonate people and steal coins. Please be vigilant and guard against anyone asking you to move coin for them or to execute console commands on their behalf. Always, always, always - check Discord ID's to verify the person you are talking to is really that person.
Thank you!
