For pool and node owners :

Core binaries and the latest code on the main repo is available with some compilation instructions : https://github.com/iridiumdev/iridium/releases/latest

The hard fork is scheduled on Friday 26th of January 2018 at block 69500.

testnet is setup to simulate a hard fork at block 5 for devs tests, I encourage every pool owner to do tests on a testnet :

- launch a core in testnet mode with a test data dir
- launch a simplewallet in testnet mode
- try you pool code

I also update the seeds node to latests available, I will release the user gui wallet tonight.

Afer the long wait, the goal is reached : The main purpose of the next Hard fork is here :

The LW-WMA (Linearly Weighted, Weighted Harmonic Mean) theorical
algorithm by Zawy is implemented and ready.

link of Zawy original algorithm : https://github.com/zawy12/difficulty-algorithms/issues/3
########################################################

Why this algorithm :

- No delay of reaction.
- It is weighted by the latests found blocks in decending order (most recent weight more than the previous, etc...)
- I choose a window size of 60 blocs, so this algorithm has to take care that a bloc is found every 175 seconds (this is the iridium specification) on a moving window of 60 blocks.

Briefly, if an attack occurs, the difficulty will go up just after the found bloc aiming always this 175s target. After this, the difficulty will go down at the same speeding the same goal.
Tests are done and are very promising.

So what now ? During this week-end, I will schedule the Hard-Fork and release the new wallet and core versions ready for it.
This mean, for users a new wallet to download and for pools and nodes owners, a new core daemon to install.

I'm aiming the next Friday for this hard fork so it leave 5/6 days for others to do tests. Pool owners, be aware. I recommend you to testnet the hard fork to see if the new blocks template and protocol is ok with your pool version. I will leave the testnet settings tuned to the new block version, so you will just have to launch the core in testnet mode, fire a testnet wallet and setup a test pool. If you don't test it, maybe your pool will crash at the HF point. (that's what happen last time but luckily, this force me to implement this new one also - Thank to manona to show me the way Wink

)

And what next ? focusing going on exchange : I think this implementation is a huge card to play... What ? exchange ? No ? Yes ? Now ? Later ? Lol.

One last thing : this hard fork will also allow larger transactions and should free theses stucked in mempool since months...

wow...good job...!!!

I believe in dev.
I decided to wait.
I will not be grumbled anymore.

Pool migration

https://ird.uvac.fr is closed now, you can't mine anymore. your balance will be sent until it reach 1 IRD

Migration place is here : https://irdpool.fr

It's the same pool, just another server and domain name.

In my opinion, the third one, which you called the candy one, is the best. Let's choose this one, dev.

Totally agree with you. I really love the third one, which looks like a candy box.

Nice! how much larger can the transactions be after the HF?

I setup a max average block size of 60ko, I dont know what that mean in tx term but now, it's running at 20ko max

I like this version +1 Wink

yes it is nice but LOGO need to be much more simplier to display correctly in small icons on exchange and so on.. the black-white one does the job..

May be something like this?

the letters might not be readable, but i like the BW schema, lets wait for some more comments from folks around

Hello Iridium community.
I think this is my first post on this forum.
I have presented a new logo to the devs of this promising new coin and was prompted to show it to you guys, be gentle with me.
I believe it's an improvement on the current logo, hope you like it.

I'm a newb here, so images wont show, you must click the link.

I like it , but can add lines to resemble a cube.

That will fill the empty space. Wink
