Sounds good, wouldn't mind seeing the block rate halved down to 1min. or less, whatever the threshold is were stales start to rise. So BTC-e with their 100 confirms don't take as long. It's a good opportunity for TRC to become a faster transaction SHA256 coin.

ok, will definitely forget any per block retargetting, it would cause too many problems (convergence/...), and TRC really needs to get more stable now.

testnet now retargets every 9 blocks, using timings from the last 108 blocks. Every retarget is limited to +/- 1/12th.

Livechain will retarget at 180 blocks intervals (6hours) using timings from the last 2160 blocks (3days). Every single retarget is limited to 1/12th.

pushing code and will later build/publish a dev windows build.
now "ramping up" testnet and doing a few tests.


and finally:

will test this for 1 or 2 days on testnet before merging code up (release then master branches), will then release code with choosen block height for the switch over.

dev-0.1.3-143 published with active testnet code.

the more voters, the more curious i get about final results Smiley

not quite sure about what would be the best choice though.

I actually forked TRC on a repo, to put back a BTC target system into it.

According to some users, an email was already sent to TRC mailinglist announcing the upcoming update, returning to a standard bitcoin retarget.
