Cryptopools and Mining.wtf will both have SHA256 pools when the fork happens.

Guys were are the SHA-256 pools plz?

Going from 1GH to 14 GH and then back again is a problem and the changes which are being made in V3 will address this issue.

From what I've heard the difficulty goes low then someone puts a massive amount of hash on the coin which gets lots of blocks and increases the difficulty. Then they stop and leave everyone else mining in a state of disarray.

I know a lot of you guys work with coins which have been around for a few weeks or even months but please remember that when DGC launched about a year and a half ago and indeed when it was last forked about a year ago there was no such thing as a Scrypt ASIC.

Scrypt ASICS enable this kind of thing and we are dealing with it with our V3 changes.

Adding "a load of Scrypt hash" should not dramatically change the amount of time it takes get to the fork unless something is wrong with the difficulty algorithm.

They have been notified, some are compiling the wallet/syncing as I write this (to the best of my knowledge).

I have updated the pool list to include a few pools that will have DGC available for mining.

bittrex
cryptsy
blockr.io
btc38

to name a few

No problems reported yet?

Who else needs to update?

Seems to be going good so far with updates. Let us know if anyone runs into problems.

Thanks!

Hey mate

What block are you trying to decode? it should work fine. You input the block number, click jump to block. copy the transaction id you're looking for. enter it in the box on the left of the decode transaction box and then click decode

Updated my clients and seems ok.. I haven't tried IRC but market data works fine. Is the wallet block explorer down? Decode doesn't return any info.

Nice job.


Miners trying to get as much as possible before the fork, maybe.

Four wallets updated without a hitch...  Looking good.

I have updated a couple of my wallets, it all seems to be working ok to me.

***** DIGITALCOIN V3 HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED ******



This release requires a hard fork as we've changed from being a single algorithm Scrypt coin into a multiple algorithm coin.


From block number 1028000 which is when the hard fork will happen DigitalCoin will be mined with Scrypt alongside the two new algorithms which are SHA and X11

It was expected that the fork would take place at some point on or around the middle of December.

However this will not now be the case because someone started mining with a huge amount of Scrypt hash power.

So this fork will now happen very quickly. Please update your DGC clients and daemons as soon as you can.

The three algorithms will work alongside each other and the difficulties will be adjusted so that there should be 1 block found every 40 seconds on average regardless of which algorithm it's mined with.

The block reward will change to 5 DGC per block from block 1028000, the fork block.



The DGC V3 clients can be downloaded from here : https://github.com/DGCFoundation/DGCV3.0/releases
The DGC V3 source code can be downloaded here: https://github.com/DGCFoundation/DGCV3.0

***** DIGITALCOIN V3 HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED ******

Someone put  a load of Scrypt hash on the coin so the fork is going to happen a lot sooner than 2 weeks.

It will be more like 2 days

Correct, about 2 weeks.

Great! ETA will be about 2 weeks, right?

ANN Updated with fork block. V3 wallet release soon.

Thanks for the update Kenel. Looking forward to seeing V3 in action!

@ DGCBread. T-Shirts look great! Nice work! 

Update made regarding the release of V3. Minor bump in the road. Most of it fixed already....will announce new wallet release date shortly (we do not expect a long delay because of this).

Hello all,

I am sure some have seen me around the forums and on the IRC chat. I have been looking for a way to get a run of cheap DGC shirts printed out for the community and have finally found a local solution that I think will make everyone happy. My black shirt will be here next week and I will post for everyone to see. There is a limited promo the Digitalcoin foundation is running with these shirts, the first 100 orders placed by people outside of the foundation will receive a gift (Limited to 1 per household). Shirts are shipping from the U.S.

Bulk order will be placed on around December 10th or when we have a healthy amount of pre-orders to establish a size pattern.

Sizes range from S-3XL and pricing structure for the pre-orders are as followed:

Price adjustments are now final:

WHITE
* USA - 1,200 DGC (2 shirts = 2,000 DGC)
* INTERNATIONAL - 1,800 DGC (2 shirts = 3,200 DGC)

BLACK
* USA - 1,400 DGC (2 for 2,400 DGC)
* INTERNATIONAL - 2,000 DGC (2 for 3,600 DGC)

BLACK + WHITE
* 1 Black + 1 White USA = 2,200 DGC
* 1 Black + 1 White INTERNATIONAL = 3,400 DGC

Note: Don't worry about the white artifacts on the white shirt, I have seen results of their printing on white material, they will not end up looking like that.

Again, I stress to send me a message with your size requested, DGC address, email and shipping address. For those freaking out about privacy, P.O. boxes are allowed.
