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.

Bear with me, building final, verified windows wallets now.  I'll post the minute they're uploaded.

I think the wallets will also be posted at https://github.com/TrollByFire/litecoindark-staging. I think

if you have a exsiting wallet make a back up of the wallet.dat. before updating

basically you launch it then close it down make sure its not running and copy the wallet.dat back and start and it should sync up.

Might take a few minutes to start syncing post-update.  I'm also updating dns seed nodes.  this will go away on its own and start working, just be patient.

so can I use my same conf. file as well or will there be one included that is updated.

[LitecoinDarkFilm]

I have never updated once, never added any nodes to my conf file and i still get 8 active connections and it syncs after 10 sec of opening my wallet. Why is this?

same config.  I have to stop posting now until finished.  to many things going on at once.   Will do a round of tech support Q&A posts afterwards.

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

Use staging repo.  Rob's repo (official) is updated behind mine as we're on separate continents and timezones are hard.

[TrollByFire]

Running a bit behind.  Build server is giving some issues.  Please bear with me.

[best-pool.com]

Please update source link in OP!
best-pool wallet will be updated soon.... (certainly before block 16300)

no problem just mining these slow blocks lol  but we have to get though them.

[Chris Sokolowski]

I'm still having trouble getting any connections or blocks on the command line version I compiled on Debian 7.6.  It seems that people connect for a second at a time then disconnect, and no blocks ever get downloaded.  I have added all the peers listed in the few posts in this thread.  Does anyone have suggestions?

Clone from the staging repository and checkout master or checkout the ltcd-1.0.1 branch (or litecoindark-1.0.1 tag) on your local clone.  Master branch is never guaranteed to be stable.  Releases are built from their own branch and tag.  Sounds like you're getting connections that you are dropping due to protocol version numbers not matching.  We didn't need to update the protocol version in 1.0.1 (nor has it changed in 1.1.0) and these changes were reverted and a newer code base will fix your problem

That got version 1.0.1 to work, which I appreciate.  However, now I am trying to update to version 1.1.0 using the 1.1.0 branch and I get the compilation error:

Code:

[TrollByFire]

Cloning from the staging repo is now 1.1.0-pre1.  You need GCC 4.8.0 or better (recommend 4.9.0) to compile it.  -std=c++1y isn't supported by the default GCC in debian 7.
