I'm all about P2Pool... so I recommend:

http://limp2pool.fr:9022/static/

It's where I am pointing... it's not my own node, but I've been happy there for a long time.

.... there are other nodes too, just make sure they've updated. Also depends where you are as with P2Pool you should keep the latency low(ish)...

Eastern US

For the moment it appears the only ones that have updated so far are based in Europe. Might be best to go for a normal pool for now where geography isn't as important.

We are working on getting DigiHash.co online for Scypt mining (will be where we point the ASICs we rent). It will be on a server in Dallas, TX.

Cool. If you could announce when that goes live I would appreciate it. Until then I'll latch on to one of the others, thanks!

I agree, I think we are getting really close to the point where if we don't push to the new algo soon I feel like we will lose our momentum. We really need a coordinated mining effort in order to push through to the change over block.

I can push 25 MH/s at it. Which pool do you all recommend?

These Scrypt Pools have updated:

CryptoPool Mining
Coinium

P2P Pools
E-Pool.net
French P2P
P2P SK Pool

Glad to have some updates, thanks. I will keep my rigs mining on P2Pool.... ~85MH give or take. Lets get this party started already. I agree with the rest, lets just stick with the plan and raise the hashrate slowly and wait for 145,000.... rather than push out another update.

BTW... NZ_miner... thanks for your efforts so far. I've noticed the super fluctuations in hashrate and in fact due to your efforts it felt like it was the old days again mining DGB... found tons of blocks overnight last night. But then it came to a sudden halt, and I guess this is when you pulled your hashrate and left the difficulty sky high :-) . Anyway, hopefully we can persuade you to come back and help push things along. Not everyone here has the resources to throw that kind of hashrate at the network... but that doesn't mean it's not appreciated.

Thanks for keeping your hash on the network td!

Does anyone have any other ideas off the top of their head on how to speed up the block timing up to block 145k besides another mandatory update?

I don't know if it's only a push of a button, but If you could temporarily disable the shield, the current net hashrate would eat up the remaining blocks in a matter of... idunno, but quickly.
If it isn't possible, than lowering the kick-in block number is a good idea.

Unfortunately this is not possible but would be very helpful right now if it was. In the code the old difficulty code will turn off at block 145,000 and the new code will take over. At this point getting more hash on the network is probably our best course of action.

There is another option to the current slow chain problem. We are currently on block 142, 473. We could release a 3.0.2 wallet the kicks in multi-algo mining at say block 143,500. Then everyone would have to update their wallet again.

We have seen roughly 1,000 blocks since releasing the wallet over a week ago.

What are your thoughts?

First i really want to thank you for the nice update.

I think releasing a new wallet so everybody need's to update again just to push it is not that good of a idea.

I am sure the community/supporters within digibyte is willing to help you with solving the blocks faster so we reach block 145.000 fast enough,
we just have to make sure everybody is updated.

Get some tweets out and mention the last update.

After the update kicks in i will work on accepting Digibyte for my business.
Will contact you and have some questions later on.

Have a good day,

I have finished the Digibyte section. It will be in the book called Cryptocurrency "The Alt-ernative" (A historical reference book). Here is the preliminary cover (a better cover is currently being worked on):

The plan is to get the book published before Christmas 2014.

Here is the Digibyte preview section:

Any donations towards this future publication are highly welcome. I would love to see this book become a reality.

Main Book Bitcointalk.org Thread is:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptocurrency-the-alt-ernative-beginners-reference-book-483187

Any further points which the community would like to be included in the DGB section need to be messaged to me ASAP.

Tyke, this is great! We will send you a PM with some more info.

I'd say contact the exchanges first, gather some opinions with them. As far as the users/miners are concerned. I think it would be welcomed. I would defiantly appreciate the move.

This is a great idea, if we could get say MintPal and Bittrex to agree to it along with the mining pools who have already upgraded we would be in business.

Although it would fix the problem, I fear it may harm the confidence in the coin if exchanges have to keep updating their wallets. It was hard enough to get Cryptsy to update it the first time. Given that people wont be able to transfer coins from the old wallets to the new one I would lean toward the option of trying to use hash power to push the chain along. That being said, if the difficulty stays above 1000 without the network hash power to support it then I certainly think that the new wallet would be a good idea.

This is a very valid point and is one of our biggest fears. We contemplated making the switch happen sooner but our fear was with KNC ASICs in the wild now we did not want the chain to be attacked and forked by on or two bad apples before all the exchanges had the chance to update.

More than likely the organized hash approach to push the chain along is our best option. Starting tomorrow we will start renting ASICs.
