Topic: Terracoin MANDATORY update 0.1.3-46 (Read 487 times)

The algorithm change added in build announced 2 days ago was moved to an earlier date in order to limit the effects of current network abuse.


Our github repository was updated (tag: "v0.1.3-48") with the new block triggering the switch.

We're now building windows binary files and will upload them to sourceforge as usual.

This build will be mandatory at block 181200 which should occur in 4 to 7 days at nominal/current rate, or even earlier if the network rate gets artificially increased again.

Sorry for this switch date update, but we can't let the situation as is.

Please update as soon as you read this, as it becomes difficult to estimate the exact date when block 181200 will be mined.

Windows binary is being rebuilt to include the fixed 2160 retargetting
window. It should be available for download soon.

repository was also updated.

Client version should appear as "v0.1.3-47".

Terracoin build 0.1.3-46 is now available for download at our sourceforge
mirror and github repository.

This build will be mandatory at block 185056 (7 to 10 days from now).

This build includes a rewritten difficulty adjustment algorithm, returning
to a common targeting window.
Retargeting will occur at 180 blocks intervals (6 hours) based on the data
from the last 2160 blocks (3 days).

This should remove the difficulty swings we're currently experiencing and
bring more stability to the currency. This update should be the last of our
recent serie about difficulty adjustments.
