And what happens with the people who mined the old version to block 5200? I've spent 2 days mining and barely got 1000 icoins. Which are worthless now.
The difficulty will be reset at block 5200. You will be mining 1000 coins within minutes/hours with a decent hashrate. There is a separate thread as to why this was necessary. But all in all, be prepared to mine once the blockchain hits 5200.
timeframe?
Timeframe should be, now, to help the rest of the miners get by the remaining blocks at 25 diff.
I understand it is nice to keep making some other coin with lower difficulty while this one is not ready but community wise is not so "cool".
i mined all night on the wrong chain, 'not so cool'
I understand the pain...
Still about 3-4 hours to go...

I actually liked how they did this... it allows more of us to discover the re-launch/reset before block 5200 at the same time as it awards those of us stubborn enough to mine these last 25 diff bitches of blocks

I just found block 5194 a couple of minutes ago so there are 6 blocks left now. Our pool alone (https://www.miningpool.co) has a pool block time of 30 minutes so there shouldn't be many hours left!
In http://www.altpool.pw there is still the info that difficulty will change on block 5280 and not 5200. Is this ok?

The Coins will still come out at a slowish rate compared to most coins, the alternative was to start fresh which would of been worse for the people who mined coins already.
Ultimately we knew we would get some negativity by not starting fresh and because the network hash was so high after the first diff change but going for either fresh start and
keeping the difficulty the same would cause loss of trust and kill off the coin.
We confident we have found a good balance with the new settings.
For those having issues with the sync now, lets wait until block 5200 and we will deal with the issues after that.

My Client got stucked at Block 3099 for the third time.
I downloaded the 1.2 client. Created the *.conf file.
Starting it, waiting for blockchain-download, but it gets only to Block 3099.
So i deleted the peers.dat and all other files and restarted the client. Again ... only till block 3099.
Whats up there?

same here.
love the design of this coin, yet this 'launch' seems again totally shitty.
Follow these instructions: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4422727
great. Works. Full night wasted of mining tho. Stuck with 0 coins. Kinda angry now bcs i just downloaded the wallet and started mining. Another failed launch for me. I tried to support this coin because i like the design but this is just a no go like this for me. If you make a post like this, atleast make sure u got your shit together.
Always a good idea when you download a new client version to check that you are on the same block height as the rest of the network. Never just assume you are on the right chain.
well i never had an older version. I downloaded everything like how i normally would set up a wallet/conf.
Currently at block 5193 - nearly there !

Is there an IRC for this? You should set a channel up at freenode!

How about a nice bonus for the miners who try to eat the remaining high diff blocks and not just wait for others to do all the hard work?
