May Bitcoin be touched by his Noodly Appendage


We are proud to announce the latest updated to GoldCoin.

The development team and staff have been working around the clock to make this the very best version to date.

We have addressed a number of issues related to the previous client. The syncing issues and Litecoin upgrade alert have been fixed. In addition, there have been improvements made in the areas of coin generation, block reward, and difficulty retarget time.

For a more in depth look at the changes and an explanation regarding those changes, please take a look at the official patch documentation here:

http://www.gldcoin.com/documents/GoldCoin_Patch_v1.2.pdf

There will be a hard-fork at block 45000 which is currently estimated to occur on August 1, 2013. All current users should update their clients at least 24 hours prior to the fork. It is recommended that you backup your current wallet before performing this upgrade.

To update your client please visit the official website and select the version of the client that matches your operating system:

From the PDF:

Before fork: 1 block = 2.5 minutes = 500 GLD
After fork: 1 block = 2 minutes = 45 GLD


This means
Before (early adopters): money supply = 200 GLD/minute
After (new adopters): money supply = 22.5 GLD/minute

Hopium is a powerful drug, I'm not following the coin at all, just holding some coins in hopes of a profit.  You never know LOL.

A web based wallet would be nice if security can be guaranteed.

always the student, never the master.
you are making it far to complicated. all you have to do to create a fork is simple take this example

Say you have BlahCoin and the block rewards are messed up. the current block 123000. you need to hardfork the code without damaging the existing blocks to do this, say you set it for block count 133,000.


say this is your current nHeight Layout

Code:
int64 static GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64 nFees)
{
    int64 nSubsidy = 1000 * COIN;

        int BlockCount1 = 1;
int BlockCount2 = 1200;
int BlockCount3 = 123000;


        if {nHeight == 1) { nSubsidy = 1000 * COIN; }

else if (nHeight == 2)
{
nSubsidy = 700 * COIN;
}

else if (nHeight == BlockCount3) { nSubsidy = 500 * COIN; }


all you do to fork it is append two things:

Code:
int BlockCount4 = 133000

and

Code:
else if (nHeight == BlockCoun4) { nSubsidy = 400 * COIN; }


then after that you go and create a checkpoint for that block height in checkpoints.cpp. you compile and distribute the clients immediately. wa,la you've hard forked the coin.

Microguy:
Block reward from 500 to 400: do you confirm?

Yes. We are reducing the block reward to 400 at the fork and then beginning a gradual block reward reduction over an extended period. The github does not contain all the updated code or readme's but will be updated soon.

The last obstacle in terms of coding is the migration from litecoin to our own prefix.

We need to be able to:

- Read the prefork prefix wallet and block databases with the new client.
- Write the database with all prefork blocks with the earlier prefix, but the postfork blocks with the new prefix.
- Have the client be able to trade with both sets of prefixes but only accept the prefork prefix for blocks that are earlier than "julyFork".
- Accept connections from clients that are using the prefork prefix if and only if their blockheight is less than "julyFork".
- Accept connections from all new clients and propagate block changes throughout the network successfully.

Once we have found the best solution (suggestions are welcome) to this problem and tested its functionality, we will publish and release the update.


DONT DO THIS!
