Version 0.9.2.0 of Credits client released. Release includes among a lot of other things a hard fork at block 50000A new release of the Credits client is out now. This is a long overdue version that focuses on pulling updates from bitcoin into the client, and on updates to be able to add new features further on.
Updates in this release:0.9.2.1 is a major release. However, no updates to the working directory are neccessary when installing.
- NOTE!! Hard fork will occur at block 50000.
- Version number bumped to .80 to indicate hard fork version
- Deposit transactions will be allowed to have more than one input. This will enable the wallet (in the release after this one) to automatically create deposits from any content that you have in a wallet.
- The number of deposit transactions in a block will be allowed up to a maximum of 1000, updated from previously 10. This will make it easier to enable pooled mining, with externally provided deposits.
- Changed difficulty adjustment algorithm at block 50 000. The new diff adjustment algorithm will be much faster. It will update every 252 blocks with a max adjustment factor of 2 up or down. Adjustment speed will be 64 times higher than current diff adjustment. The reason for this is twofold:
1. To prevent block generation from being stuck if a sudden drop in mining power occurs.
2. In the future when deposit mining will be more and more important, preventing the block generation from being stuck if deposits are being withheld.
- Several updates from bitcoin main branch included into release, to bump version to 0.9.2.x
- Among the updates from bitcoin main branch is estimatefee/estimatepriority functionality

How to UpgradeIf you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Credits-Qt (on Mac) or
creditsd/credits-qt (on Linux).
!!!BEFORE YOU START THE WALLET, MAKE SURE TO MAKE BACKUP COPIES OF THE FILES CREDITS_WALLET.DAT
AND BITCOIN_WALLET.DAT, IF YOU HAVE A PREVIOUS INSTALLATION.!!!The syncing process can be quite long, depending on your computer and your network. Between one and two days is not uncommon, if you are not initialising from a prebuilt working directory, distributed with a torrent.Start credits-qt with the command:
credits-qt.exe -reindex -checklevel=2
or start creditsd with the command:
creditsd.exe -reindex -checklevel=2
Once installation is done, we highly recommend you to bootstrap the blockchain download and sync by downloading an up to date working directory:
