We have the fork ready and testing now the new client.
Some details
- v1.6 now has a new network protocol version 70004.
- To give enough time for users to update the software, the fork will
actually occur at block height 2390000.
Some more changes that are noticeable by normal users:
- Because we need to split the transaction index database file (former blkindex.dat), we have to change the database in v1.6.
But the new database is not compatible to the old one. So, all users will have to re-download the blockchain from scratch.
Alternatively, they may download our bootstrap file "EnergyCoinBlkChain160.7z" on mega.
- Users who want to split the blockchain data file (blk0001.dat) will have to put the following into EnergyCoin.conf:
splitblkfiles=1
- Users who want to disable debug.log will have put the following into
EnergyCoin.conf:
disabledebuglog=1
- validateaddress command now shows the redeem script (for multisig).
- signrawtransaction command now supports multisig redeem scripts.
We shall release the downloadlink alter testing.
Happy staking,
Brian
