I am not great at Logo Design....I work in newspaper advertising.... here is something I made in like 15 minutes just for kicks!

wow I like that looks good

pchMessageStart should never have been kept the same as litecoin's.

This is true. The same goes for standard Litecoin's difficulty adjustment used for a late-2014 scrypt coin - never should happen unless someone have been living in a cave for the last year and wasn't up to speed with altcoins .

I see that you rolled back to original pchMessageStart in your fork (I was referring to the official repo which does have changed pchMessageStart). That's good. It is possible to change it, but it needs to be smooth (e.g. a transitional version which would accept both new and old values up until some block height after which it would only accept the new one).

Any reason why the new version isn't available from the official git repository? Yours isn't even listed from the first post.

This really creates confusion. You don't even need any external FUD if people can't get wallet to work. Source from original repo is broken, because the latest version includes changed pchMessageStart so this client won't connect to the network. Even if it wasn't broken, it would be outdated in just 27 blocks. The new version is on some outside repository which isn't even linked from OP. This is madness

Please update official repository or link your repository in the OP in a visible place. Otherwise how can you expect people to upgrade?

I have no direct access to the primary github.  All I can do is send a pull request, which I may have neglected to do in my sleepless state.  I apologize for this, and am submitting the request now.  As for the OP, I do agree that the staging repo should be listed, but again, have not even had the chance to address this with Rob.

Also note that the "master" branch is not intended to be stable.  Each release tree carries its own branch and tag.  I can't expect them to know which repo to use, but even the official repo had a branch ltcd-1.0.1 and tag litecoindark-1.0.1 that was newer than the rollback and did sync properly.  Maybe I should reconsider this policy due to the many who do not know how to checkout a branch...

so every thing is working is this correct 

Bear with us.  I haven't slept in nearly 36 hours, pushed out the update, worked my day job, and still have more to do before I can rest.

This is all a hard business and we all really appreciate your work. You have proved yourself to be in the top echelons of crypto-developers in terms of hard work and community engagement.
I would also like to point out that it's a testament to the coin's community that the ongoing delay in blocks has not set the price crashing. If this were many other coins, the price would have dived and the investors would have fled. What has happened instead is that the developer is keeping us posted, the price is within 15% of its all-time high price and has been stable for 4 DAYS!!

Great work everybody, keep holding, keep giving advice and we will see a great future.

I know that you are working hard, but please coordinate the communication better for the sake of LTCD.

Also, did you coordinate with exchanges and confirmed that they updated their wallets to the new version? I assure you that they don't read this thread and won't know that there is a fork if the new version isn't even in the official repository.

[s1gs3gv]

the new version isn't even in the official repository.

where is the new version ?

Actually the guy you were talking to earlier - Mullick - is the wallet guru for Cryptsy

Also note that the "master" branch is not intended to be stable.  Each release tree carries its own branch and tag.  I can't expect them to know which repo to use, but even the official repo had a branch ltcd-1.0.1 and tag litecoindark-1.0.1 that was newer than the rollback and did sync properly.  Maybe I should reconsider this policy due to the many who do not know how to checkout a branch...

Dude, with respect maybe you should reconsider this policy for those of us who do know how to check out a branch but expect master to be stable.

+1

hence master.

I'm moving on. This is a waste of time. Next ?

I am just the coder.  I also have multiple real jobs and a life to live outside of crypto.  I don't get paid for what I do, nor do I have time to handle every request or issue personally or even in a timely fashion.  I am a 32 year old father of six who is badly in need of sleep.  This is why there are other team members.  We work great as a team, but our greatest weakness is in the fact that we live on different continents and timezones are way off.

Not trying to be defensive, just saying that if there are any shortcomings, please understand that I'm not the only person involved, even if I do tend to be the most vocal.  And I did speak with people from exchanges, but I was also busy with other major issues.  As it stands, I have yet to find time to assist best-pool with their issue.  I can assure you that I will, but there are only so many things one man can do at once.

We all had to learn to walk so lets just take this one step at a time. Soon we will  be sprinting . We have a great community and great future and great devs.

I work in a Newspaper Advertising Company.  I design small ads for a local newpaper. My logo design abilities are not as great as some others out there. Here is my second design just for kicks.

hence master.

And with respect maybe you missed the part of litecoin's documentation where it states that they have the same policy.  This is fairly common practice throughout the software development industry.  Some people prefer to work in a "develop" branch instead.  We'll see, but if you want "stable" and "tested", always use a particular branch and/or tag.

guess I've been in a hole the past few years along with all my project partners.
