It has been decided that the blockchain will fork at a height of 372,000. This will allow pools, users, exchanges, block explorers, and others approximately 6 1/2 days to update.

Binaries and source code will be made available a little later today.

I think the only worry would have been had we done nothing. We decided to make Goldcoin much more scarce and much more difficult to mine.

This fork has been discussed previously. There are two Goldcoin Reports on YouTube, posts here and on GLDTalk.org, and a discussion in the Facebook group. https://www.gldtalk.org/index.php?topic=3528.0

The team has decided to roll forward the coin generation rules to year 20 which will reduce the block reward from 31 to 4. This will result in 53 million fewer coins for a total of 70 million total coins to be minted over the next 100 years.

This update will also increase the maximum block size to 2 MB and reduce transaction fees to 0.01GLD from 0.1GLD.

Thank you Amir and Dreamwatcher for this attractive image.

hard fork in about 20 blocks - hope you all have updated your wallets 

The development team is closely monitoring the network. I'm being told by the team that the client changes are working as expected.

Here are the major changes:

1. Maximum block size increased from 1MB to 2MB.
2. Minimum transaction fee reduced to .01 GLD
3. Block reward now 4 (generation rules rolled forward 20 years)

Thank you for choosing GoldCoin. We're going to make money great again in 2016!

We have decided to double the pay of all Open Workforce workers beginning today!

You might have noticed that the POW criteria lately has been higher than before. Rather than lowering our standards, I think it is better to compensate deserving effort. Our very success hinges on our terrific workforce.

We are serious about making money great again and our people will be taken care of always.
