UPGRADING TO THE 2.0 BLOCKCHAIN
I'll have to redo this when I have time, there is a blockchain download available.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extremely slow downloading the blockchain.

Could do with being uploaded somewhere

I'll get on that

I don't have access to the pools, or I would

Currently, the blockchain is uploading (I have crappy internet speed)

No more scrypt shit.Adaptive-N or other algo will be welcome.

I am not sure if you can completely switch the algorithm after a fork.

[ckoeber]

Also, the addnodes in the original post is old. Use these:

Code:

addnode=83.144.80.226
addnode=188.226.169.38
addnode=85.14.38.62
addnode=109.197.13.54
addnode=2.236.53.94
addnode=54.201.121.142
addnode=162.220.246.58

After you update the downloading of the blockchain should be much faster.

In the next few days, I plan on putting up a functional block crawler, and updating the art
The update to the client (reason for this takeover), solves a few errors  (this is NOT mandatory)

If you are going to update the client you might as well put a new fork out there.

In the fork, if we can make it so that after a block changes the difficulty doesn't change more than 1% either way that would be awesome.

The biggest reason this coin is having the problems it is having is due to those difficulty spikes.

Making the difficulty change very small (1% or something similar) will do wonders.

I've been thinking about a fork, and I feel I will do it.

Ckoeber, I'd like to invite you to the dev team, you were a huge part of keeping the old community alive, and I would love to hear all of your ideas

Ha, I agree with you there, and I wish I could change it, however, I'm just helping this old coin stay afloat

Send the info and I'll be sure to consider. I have time constraints but I will contribute what I can.

Perhaps we should look at implementing the Kimoto Gravity Well (KGW) difficulty algorithm.  Vertcoin, Anoncoin, RonPaulCoin and others have moved to the Kimoto Gravity Well as discussed here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=431104.0
