What do you think about https://forum.bitcoin.com?
I think Roger Ver is the most (albeit only?) unfortunate casualty of the Grand Schism.
He opened that forum in a fit of pique, having chosen Gavinblocks and XT governance coup as the preferred cross on which to martyr himself.
Having vastly overestimated public support for Gavinista 'People's Front of Judea' separatism, he's now reduced to bribing people to post on his pathetic Island of Misfit Gavincoiners.

The $1k plea for attention takes the cake, as an epic self-clowning demonstration of his forum's negative (absent lavish subsidy) value proposition for potential participants. I couldn't possibly clown him any harder than he's beclowned himself.
Quick, somebody win teh prize and promptly donate it to Bitcoin Core! That'll show 'em.

Another nice PR just came in 
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/407
I think this implements the changes recommended by the Monero Research Lab in MRL-0004

Part of them.

Does this also deal with the second hard fork in MRL-0004 to require a minimum mixin of 4 after 2 years?
It doesn't right now. The plan is to feature freeze the forks six months in advance (I think there is a thread on this at the getmonero forum). There are certainly other important features that will need to be forked in like multisig and others, so there will be more forks (unless development stops of course, but let's face it, if that happens the coin is in pretty big trouble).
True, but from a practical perspective the way the code works each time there is a fork the block version number gets incremented. Currently there is code "if version > 1, enable the minimum mixin 2 rules". We don't even know how many forks there will be in two years, so we wouldn't know what version to use nor when that fork will happen. We could pick some arbitrary numbers like jump to version 10 as of some future block height (and possibly change them in a future update), but that is somewhat messy.
I'm not saying it couldn't be included, nor do I really have a position on it, just explaining how things are being done currently.
Yes, after reading the code. I see what you mean. The code is checking for hardfork version rather than block height a second time, so it is simpler and less prone to error to do it this way.

Yes I am aware of the thread. https://forum.getmonero.org/4/academic-and-technical/303/a-formal-approach-towards-better-hard-fork-management; however this does not mean that the code for the mandatory mixin of 4 after the appropiate delay could not also be included in this fork.

does "total transactions" include the block reward? Or actual transactions?
Has to exclude or it couldn't be <1
Changed the description to make it clear
September 26, 2015, 06:36:34 AM
is there allready a date for the fork? will it happen together with the 0.9 release?
The code will be included in the 0.9 release. The details of the exact process/schedule for activating the fork are still being worked out but it will be some sort of process with advance notice and looking for a minimum fraction of hash rate on the network being upgraded.

can somone give any news on how it wil play out in detail? will there be a "smooth" hardfork like you planned where old blocks wont get rejected immediately?
i did not have time to follow unfortunately.
thank you

Boolberry vs Monero Chess Challenge and CryptoNote technical discussion
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cryptonote-technical-discussion-and-chess-challenge-1190988
Lets make color assignment fair. The first person to reply to this thread and state which team they are on (Monero or Boolberry) earns their team the white pieces.
