The hard fork is now in effect.
You will need to update your clients
before block number #32256.
You will need to dumpprivkey to any and all addresses and importprivkey into the new client once it has been downloaded. (My suggestion is to start now, as miners will still have a trickling amount of ISO coming in.)
All the pools should run the same, though P2Pool will need an update for the block spacing. I'll message rav3n_pl about that.
On a nix box, you will need to stop the client. Remove the client, though you can still keep your ecurrency.conf file, but remove every other reminisce of E-Currency from your nix box, other than your backup wallet.dat of course.
You'll need to visit our Github:
https://github.com/Adaryian/E-Currency Clone the new E-Currency client and start it up. After it has started you can then importprivkey to your other addresses.
----
The reason for this, is because of the address change from it starting with a '1' to now an 'E' -- on top of that the block spacing is 3 minutes now versus the 10 minutes it was before.
Windows users will be temporarily effected though no coins should be lost granted it's before the block #32256 as it'll still be apart of the blockchain until then meaning that once the new Windows client has been you'll follow the same steps more or less as linux. Though you'll have an interface you'll simply just go to the console and type in importprivkey [PrivkeyGoesHere] and it'll have the same effect. Again, you'll still need to follow the instructions the same as a nix box. You'll need to backup your wallet.dat and be sure that you have already dumpprivkey to all your account addresses before upgrading. (I'll still leave the old client available for the next few months for people who maybe coming back.)
The only thing of E-Currency that should remain even on a Windows box is going to be your ecurrency.conf as that wouldn't need to be changed. Install/Run the new version of E-Currency, enjoy the new splash screen
and then start importing those private keys and updating the pools you mine at with your new 'E' starting address!
Feel free to add to this, if I perhaps have forgotten something.. or something needs to be edited as this is my first hard fork for a crypto-currency. So, by no means am I promising everything will go off without any issues. If you have issues, please respond into this thread so we can figure the solution out for you. I may not be able to answer it right away but the programmers will be able to possibly shed light on the subject.
Sorry for the long winded message, however it is important everyone reads this, so that they upgrade their clients ASAP. The Windows client will be out soon and I'll update the front page with it. I'll be removing the current one until the new one is released so nobody else can get the old E-Currency for Windows until the new one is out.
