Just to clarify: We still need to get to block 16300 for the algorithm switch to happen.  Keep mining.  Push through these hard blocks for a chance and a cakewalk and some (once again) profitable blocks.

 so will we need a new wallet as well just curious. thanks

Yes.

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.

I downloaded the new version from litecoindark.com but the wallet still shows that it is version v0.8.6.2-unk-beta not the version v1.1.0.

All files in the directory are exactly the same as they were before.

ok thanks just waiting but lots of time yet lol till we get those blocks out of the way. I will put a post at reddit saying we will need new wallets as well. For now keep on hashing community.

I'm still working on verifying the binaries.  Check the staging github for 1.1.0 first, as that's where I'll upload them (in just a few minutes, hopefully).  Binaries won't be available at litecoindark.com until Rob can upload them.

At this point, it's in the hands of the compiler.  Just making sure everything works and running tests.

Solid dev work. Keep up the rally! . Much love.

36 blocks left and counting

Small error - Makefiles weren't properly committed.  Left out a compatibility define for boost and C++11, fixing and pushing.  (This is why I test before uploading.)

Has anyone contacted bittrex about the bot. If not I will see if there is anything they will do about it...
If you look at where this coin was headed... I nice clean, healthy upward trend... and then this bot started trading. (I guess the difficulty with the mining could have had something to do with it.)
But I dont want to see a quality coin with people who are putting their time and effort into this go to waste so that some joker can make pennies off of his little trading scheme!

Lets get rid of this guy once and for all!

Sorry I don't speak Klingon lol but you lost me. But keep up the great work we still have 34 blocks to get out of the way so we have time. Plus thanks for keeping us updated on the news. were lucky to have you on the team.

[yeahright]

Nice work devs!!!  My small 8M rig is hashing away on best pool   Keep it up

[voodoo1967]

Get the word out we need to get the hashing power up.

Good work Devs! appreciate your hard work!

... also sent a request to deal with the bot on bittrex... we'll see what they say

Update your GCC.  Needs 4.9.0.  DifficultyShield makes use of C++11 features, next update will need C++14.  LTCD is going to diverge a lot from the typical copy-paste clone coins in the coming months.  You'll need an updated compiler.

[Angora]

what freeware compiler is recommended to use?

[TrollByFire]

GCC -- build deps are the same as earlier altcoins, you just need GCC 4.9.0 minimum.

You should throw out a tweet for all the different updates once they go live. Such as when the Mac Wallet goes live and when the Windows wallets go live on the website.

Sadly I have to leave that to Rob.  He controls the tweets.

[q327K091]

very very nice, software development activities have been detected

3% premine has not been released

doing quick git pull and build, this is exactly what has been happening with SYNC, congrats so far, very nice

KNC miners are just around the corner you have till 4 QT but distribution is holding, you have a big one on your hands dont screw it up

 

git pull
Already up-to-date.  (from LTCD master)

will try it tomorrow , no rush, thanks and talk soon
