Small error - Makefiles weren't properly committed.  Left out a compatibility define for boost and C++11, fixing and pushing.  (This is why I test before uploading.)

36 blocks left and counting

Solid dev work. Keep up the rally! . Much love.

I'm still working on verifying the binaries.  Check the staging github for 1.1.0 first, as that's where I'll upload them (in just a few minutes, hopefully).  Binaries won't be available at litecoindark.com until Rob can upload them.

At this point, it's in the hands of the compiler.  Just making sure everything works and running tests.

ok thanks just waiting but lots of time yet lol till we get those blocks out of the way. I will put a post at reddit saying we will need new wallets as well. For now keep on hashing community.

I downloaded the new version from litecoindark.com but the wallet still shows that it is version v0.8.6.2-unk-beta not the version v1.1.0.

All files in the directory are exactly the same as they were before.

Yes.

 so will we need a new wallet as well just curious. thanks

Just to clarify: We still need to get to block 16300 for the algorithm switch to happen.  Keep mining.  Push through these hard blocks for a chance and a cakewalk and some (once again) profitable blocks.

and away we go lets get that network hash up 

Update LitecoinDark v1.1.0-pre1 is being pushed and uploaded NOW.

This is a MANDATORY update!  You must update your client before block 16300!

LitecoinDark v1.1.0-pre1 is a pre-release build of LitecoinDark v1.1.0.  This update
includes the long-awaited DifficultyShield Core.

At its core DifficultyShield is an object-oriented abstraction and encapsulation of different difficulty adjustment algorithms.  This will allow for easier updates and modifications to the difficulty adjustment process in the future.  Note that it is currently in pre-alpha but due to overwhelming demand from the community, it is being released as-is, and is mandatory as it will cause a hard fork at block 16300 and will use the KGW algorithm for adjusting difficulty.  A more finely-tuned algorithm will follow at some arbitrary date in the future, but this will get the blocks moving again.

Binaries will be uploaded momentarily and this post will be edited to reflect their location.  If you'd like to check out the sources and compile yourself, you may clone the sources from https://github.com/TrollByFire/litecoindark-staging.  I will update this post and submit a pull request as soon as the binaries have been compiled, and will upload binaries to the staging repository as well.

Shortly afterward, the main website will contain this release as well, and you will note that the binaries have (as always) sha512sums that have been verified and signed by me.  Please do not run binaries from other sources not containing the proper signatures as we cannot guarantee that they were built from the proper source tree and have no way to verify what they may contain.

If you do not know what that means, make sure you get the downloads from our website http://litecoindark.com/ or https://github.com/TrollByFire/litecoindark-staging.

Thank you all for your continued patience and support.

sounds good to me, thanks for the explanations!

You should quit putting that dumb cum shot looking graphic all over the logos LOL

It is the same for everyone. You get x coins per MH/s.  It will help so that the pools dont drive the difficulty up then leave since the difficulty will adjust frequently.

It will change the difficulty retarget time. If a multipool jumps on and drives the diff up then leaves, it won't take hundreds more difficult blocks to make the diff fall back down to normal.

guys check some new stuff https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lite-coin-dark-logoltcd-bounty-for-chosen-logo-781305 

so is it going to get harder for the average miner after the update, or better for the little guy & harder for multi pools?

37 blocks to go 

no problem lol family is number one. We are all family in this community lol 

Apologies, everyone.  I had family visit, so I was a bit delayed.  Hold tight, it will be here momentarily.
