MANDATORY UPDATE TO v1.3.0.0 - HARDFORK OCCURRED AT BLOCK 546250The Casinocoin Dev Team is proud to announce a new client release today coinciding with the 1st anniversary of the launch of Casinocoin. In the release, we instituted the following changes:
1.) The total number of Casinocoins that will be minted will be reduced from 336 million to 63 million.
2.) The block reward will be permanently reduced from 50 coins per block to 10 coins per block.
3.) New DNS seeds have been added base don the casinocoin.org domain to improve syncing.
4.) a homebrew contrib patch was added to facilitate proper compilation for OSX
These changes have been heavily discussed within the Casinocoin community and there is a general consensus that making these two changes will strengthen the coin's value proposition for existing online gambling businesses worldwide.
What is the impact of this release?
These changes that are introduced with this release will require a hard fork at block 546250. This means that upgrading to version 1.3.0 is mandatory on July 18th. Clients running the current version 1.2.0 will cease being supported following the 1.3.0 official release. 1.2.0 will no longer be compatible with the Casinocoin block chain.
Will I lose my existing coins?
No. Existing coins will be preserved. You can continue with business as usual following the update provided you upgrade your wallet to version 1.3.0.
Where do I download the new Casinocoin client?
Initially, Casinocoin clients will be available from
