Update LitecoinDark v1.1.0-pre1 is being pushed and uploaded NOW.This is a MANDATORY update! You must update your client before block 16300!LitecoinDark v1.1.0-pre1 is a pre-release build of LitecoinDark v1.1.0. This update
includes the long-awaited
DifficultyShield Core.
At its core DifficultyShield is an object-oriented abstraction and encapsulation of different difficulty adjustment algorithms. This will allow for easier updates and modifications to the difficulty adjustment process in the future. Note that it is currently in
pre-alpha but due to overwhelming demand from the community, it is being released as-is, and is
mandatory as it will cause a hard fork at block
16300 and will use the KGW algorithm for adjusting difficulty. A more finely-tuned algorithm will follow at some arbitrary date in the future, but this will get the blocks moving again.
Binaries will be uploaded momentarily
and this post will be edited to reflect their location. If you'd like to check out the sources and compile yourself, you may clone the sources from
https://github.com/TrollByFire/litecoindark-staging. I will update this post and submit a pull request as soon as the binaries have been compiled, and will upload binaries to the staging repository as well.
Shortly afterward, the main website will contain this release as well, and you will note that the binaries have (as always) sha512sums that have been verified and signed by me. Please do not run binaries from other sources not containing the proper signatures as we cannot guarantee that they were built from the proper source tree and have no way to verify what they may contain.
If you do not know what that means, make sure you get the downloads from our website http://litecoindark.com/ or https://github.com/TrollByFire/litecoindark-staging.Thank you all for your continued patience and support.
