AlertsI stumbled over this one:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Alerts> "Alerts are broadcast using the same TCP relay system as block and tx messages.
> They are not encoded in a special transaction."
Might be useful for informing people of the upcoming change
- apart from BTCT, FB, reddit, twitter, email of course.
> "Unlike block and tx relaying, alerts are sent at the start of every new connection
> for as long as the alert is in effect. This ensures that everyone receives the alert."
Some people perhaps open their C2 wallet only once per week (or month)
- so the alert message needs to have a long lifetime.
HTH :-)
EDIT: You can see it in action, when you switch on the
infinitycoin wallet.
They are alerting everyone to upgrade to v1.8.7.
I'm poor. Please tip me here www.tiny.cc/drakointip for my ideas and my work
