Will you be updating your ANN page any time soon?
- Leaving this one for Jack to answer.
@secousa: Thank you - so as a miner, where do I get the update? Or are you only sending out the update to a select few miners of your choice? There's no v0.15.2 on github.
Should I stop mining on the current wallet?
For now you can keep mining with the current software. If you want to use the update right now, you can do a git pull from master and build the daemon from source. This commit is expected to be tagged for release:
https://github.com/gamecredits-project/GameCredits/commit/48466fa10f186b88fb4a376d2f56cb3e43566879 The github maintainer knows to tag the release and upload all the binaries... they've been made available to the GameCredits team - one of which is the github maintainer. The team is doing their due diligence in testing the wallet software before creating the release tag... should be any day now that the update is available as a proper release. I personally was expecting it to be today, but that didn't happen as their testing didn't complete. Know that the binaries were made available Thursday afternoon Pacific time to the team.
I can tell you that the planned announcement for the new wallet to the general public is expected to be Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. The binaries and release should definitely be tagged & available before then.
The GameCredits team does seed the update to exchanges and known mining pools in advance of public release - usually by about 12-24 hours. If you're interested in getting a notification, PM me your email and I'll add your contact info to the list we have of pool admins. You can also share the public key you mine to if you like. We have some updates planned for the blockexplorer to show which pool mined a block. For that feature, we intend to use public keys to identify pools and doing a basic "if public key = xyz then show mined by abc". Both of these are completely optional and won't affect anything for this update. The only time this list actually becomes crucial is if a hard fork is planned - it helps notify the most affected parties in the most common communication medium possible. At this time we do not have any hard forks planned.
Note that I'm actively consulting with the team to bring more transparency from this project. As a long term hodler of GAME (and the developer writing much of the core client code) I am very aware of the communication issues present in the team and am so far pleased with the changes I've seen - from development reports to the Blockfolio signals program. They're on the right track to become more transparent in my opinion, and I'll do my best to make sure bitcointalk remains as one of the crucial communication channels that the team posts updates on.
