If a bootstrap download becomes compromised, someone will malicious intent could have assistance disrupting a network by tricking people into using their chain (which wouldn't be noticed until it's too late; won't describe how that works here) to gain momentum for several attack vectors
With very secure downloads, it's fine, but many people post fake links around here and stupid people click them all the time. Starting fresh and verifying each individual block against the checkpoint server and neutral peers is the best way to keep the chain safe. It might take a little longer for users to sync, but I don't care if it means not compromising safety

Is there a bootstrap.dat available to download???
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hmmm.. so is / or will there be one?
Why do you need one.....
Because its taking forever for me to sync the new wallet, I deleted all the old files I had except for my wallet of course.
Just be patient. It will sync.
isn't it possible to just download the new wallet and start the new wallet up without deleting your roaming?
Yes, it is possible, mine is now sync'd ... but it would just be faster with a bootstrap.dat..
Edit.. well with the upcoming fork, maybe it isn't easy to have a bootstrap.dat right now..
I think it would be safer though, so everyone could download the bootstrap.dat and be on the correct fork, when the fork does come. no ?

I think balls in going to get pumped to 1k or more again soon. Based off of chatter in the various troll boxes. Not hyping shit up, just a warning the community they are blessed at these prices

Significant changes in the BALLS 2.0.1 Two Stage Hard Fork:
Staking Changes
Stake Reward Structure in its entirety is as follows:
All files changed in 2.0.1 are labeled as such on Github. This is how we will document which version which file changed in
- Protocol has been switched back
- Blocks will return to their previous speed
- Protocol switch occurs at 1424995200
- 02/27/2015 @ 12:00am (UTC)
Staking Changes
- Staking will return to its previous frequency
- Stake rewards have been updated to be more interesting
- Now based on block number in a specific, fixed range
- A few features or changes have been cut to prevent a coin swap to a new chain
- Stake rewards start fluctuating at Block 200,000
Stake Reward Structure in its entirety is as follows:
Code:
int64 GetProofOfStakeRewardYear(int nHeight) {
static int64 nBaseCoinYear = 5000 * CENT;
static int64 nMaxPercent = 20000;
static int64 nReward = 0;
if (nHeight <= 80000)
return nBaseCoinYear;
if (nHeight <= 85000)
return nBaseCoinYear + ((nHeight - 80000) * CENT);
if (nHeight <= 94000)
return (nBaseCoinYear * 2) - ((nHeight - 85000) * CENT);
if (nHeight < 200000) {
return 1000 * CENT;
} else {
nReward = (nHeight % nMaxPercent);
if (nReward == 0)
nReward = nMaxPercent;
printf("Stake percent on block %d is %d\n", nHeight, nReward);
return nReward * CENT;
}
} All files changed in 2.0.1 are labeled as such on Github. This is how we will document which version which file changed in
Just succesfully updated my client to the 2.0.1 version. I hope everyone else does the same so we can smoothly switch to the new fork.
everything is working just fine =D

Confirmations 0 / 6 within an hour 
From more 2 hours ago I sent balls and now Confirmations is 0 / 6. What happend?
Nothing happened. That's the problem. You stacked your coins on top of everyone else's to sell and they got stuck during slow blocks because of too many people moving coins before the new fork. Now you gotta wait out a bad decision
4 hours ago I sent balls and now Confirmations is 0 / 6. Bad, bad, bad
I give up. Broken record and all that
Chill dude, the blockchain was moving slowly and it seems like you moved coins during the fork. Go to sleep or something. You wont be moving those BALLS anyway so just stop staring at them.....
Blockchain is moving now so they should be confirmed....

How do you mean before new fork, I am under impression coins moved from Polo to Trex after the fork and coins stuck now.
You think a fork happens immediately when you download a new client?
I did not download a new client, not what I think but how did it happen? I did not mention anything about downloading a new client.
