Regarding the upcoming hard fork, would it make sense to use the Alert system? Bitcoin (and many others) has a built in alert messaging service protected by a private key in the possession of Gavin Andresen (originally Satoshi). This could very easily be used to send network wide upgrade alerts:

+1. As far as I know Evan was thinking about implementing this indeed.

GREAT idea

Hey eduffield, please update front page and titile about hard fork. This should attract more attention.
Personally, I don't read this topic everyday and I've just noticed that hardfork is coming.

Posted the same over at darkcointalk and got no response.  Haven't seen Evan post for a few days so I suspect he is busy, but still -- updating the first post and thread title would REALLY help hardfork awareness.  
He has been around (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/eduffield-107946) but seems to be keeping quiet.

If he doesn't update the thread title soon, we should create a new thread with an attention-grabbing title and keep bumping it to the front page.

"hard fork" means that a protocol update forces outdated clients to create their own network because they don't comply with the new protocol version and therefore reject any blocks propagated by up-to-date clients or their connections. And vice-versa.

Why is it that updated clients can be on different forks then?

Very odd how DRK is very inactive on low volume going into the Fork.

It's like everybody is waiting on the sidelines to see what happens after the fork.

A "soft fork" isn't really a fork. It just adds functionality to the protocol that older clients do not understand. However they do not reject the blocks and stay on the same network/blockchain.

Motherfuckers, I am a CryptoNote supporter from the bottom of my heart. But I wish you the very best for the hardfork in 3 days.
Evan is a good man. This is a good project.

Good on you for saying so!

Nice to see support between anon coins.
I personally see drk and xmr being healthy competition as they are different enough. The Coke and Pepsi of anonymous transactions as it were.

Thnx Wink
But Evan said no more HARDforks, this is a FORK there was enough time to update by all.

This is a hard fork. The alternative with the pools voluntarily paying wouldn't work very well - miners do tend to get greedy. Heck, even Bitcoin was 51% even if that is damaging the coin.

Ahhh sooooo, I always thought that HARD means that there is a minimal amount of time to update Smiley in spite of fork (soft) means there is a lot of time to do it. Thnx Alex for  explenations Wink

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have ALL the major exchanges and pool operators updated to the latest software so we dont have any problems after the 6/20 fork (like we did last time)?

I think the dev should contact all the exchanges to make sure so that the problem from last time is not repeated!

Thanks in advance!

To me as outsider its unclear, if it's an soft fork or hard fork, that is going to happen in 3 days.
Informations provided in this thread differs.

If all goes as planned, having a notification of a new wallet in the client itself would be incredibly helpful. I do think this should be a feature that needs prioritizing. Still quite a few on old wallets.

[...]
As of now in testnet, there is no ghosting at all, no random payments to inactive nodes, no bugs on activation whatsoever.
[...]


Now that's worth quoting!

Yup... one user even has 50 nodes under a script to auto-update clients. All went online virtually instantly, and offline too, several times. Check the graph. It all went smooth as silk.
