Version 1.6 is released. ** This is mandatory upgrade ***
Version 1.6 changed the diff retarget to each block, starting from block *245000*. We are currently at block 243736.
Again this is a mandatory upgrade, please upgrade as soon as possible. The download links are source in github are updated.

The recent behavior on the mining is very bad. The diff oscillates between 0.9 and 3.8, and people rush in at 0.9 and exit at 3.8, causing the progress become extremely slow for the 3.8 period. Last 24 hours we progressed on about 200 blocks.
Clearly with this behavior the mining can't be done in a normal way. At this speed it will be way too long to reach block 248000. I thus decide to release a newer version by setting the switch block to a closer block, which is 245000. With current speed, it is expected to be 3 days at least to reach it.
I will soon release a newer version (1.6) and please do the upgrade as soon as possible, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Anyone have an interest in setting up and running an IFC pool? PM me.
September 14, 2013, 03:44:53 PM
Please to confirm that the pool at http://treasurequarry.com:9844 is now updated to version 1.5 in readiness for the fork.
I've also updated the Infinitecoin client on my home PC.
One minor thing - when trying to "make" the qt version on Linux (Ubuntu) on my home computer It's still stopping with a message:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -loleaut32
If anyone is also experiencing this, remove "-loleaut32" from the LIBS line in the makefile, then "make" again and it should compile fine.

Does we need a linux wallet? I have compilled one, but something wrong with infinitecoind - it have a stange filesize - about 40 mb, but it works fine.
The -infinitecoin-qt - is ok.
I can deal with it, but i don't know is it needed for anyone.

Please post it at www.infinitecointalk.org! it was requested there. Thank you!
try strip on the daemon? it may reduce size.

While I am observing the mining behaviors since yesterday, I found people jumped in and out causing the diff be swinging between 0.5 and 2, and for the last 12 hours, about 500 blocks mined, way below the targeted value. Given that, I am thinking to move the switch block to 245000. We are now at 242835, with this kind of swing, it will take 2 days to reach 245000. The key is that all mining pools need upgrade. What do you think?
The current 1.5 client set the switch block be 248000, and according to this rate, it may take 5 days to get there.

I think we need to think before make any changes, not after there are done!!!!!
So was with 2-3-4 updates, and again with 5.
Your suggestion is to upgrades twice a day?
I think compromise is found, those who wanted to change the difficulty retarget cheme riched their goal, so they can wait a few days.
We're not a rocket launching into space
IMHO
You are right. When I fixed the code yesterday, I did not realized that the diff delays significant the progress of the mining. I was planning for a 2-day lead time. Anyway, I think we'll stick to switch block at 248000, and make sure everyone upgrade before it. After it, the IFC mining should be back on its normal track.
That's a good idea.
