Which pool will have the honor of finding the first new block ?! :-)

Congrat HCM

Cheers and applause to the brilliant Guldencoin team !!!

waiting for the wallets

Absolutely Stunning job, you don't know how many times I have seen coins fuck this up. You guys make me proud!!!

DEV UPDATE:

Android Wallet up and running!

Enjoy!!

Please Download new wallet from the playstore, the new version is required!!

We're still watching how DGW3 behaves.. I suspect it will makes some... waves... because of the long wait during the fork...

Android wallet has also been updated, it could take a while before the new version is visible in the play store.

New desktop wallets available at https://guldencoin.com/download

Bittrex and Swisscex up!

The magic story

So. We've been asked multiple times by several people: why don't you just pick a block in the future at which point we'll switch to DGW3? Why all this "seeds down, pick a block, seeds up" stuff?
And they were right.. I would have been easier to fork that way. Everyone could update in advance and it wouldn't create any downtime.

The truth is, we've changed more than we announced. And we have a very good reason for that.

We discovered that the protocol magic in Guldencoin was the same as Litecoin's protocol magic..
The protocol magic is a set of bytes that is sent at the beginning of a message between two nodes. If the protocol magic is correct, the nodes continue to talk with each other. If it is incorrect, the nodes simply disconnect.
Because our magic was equal to Litecoin's magic, an attacker could connect to a NLG node, and send the NLG node an ip address for a LTC node. They would connect and start arguing about blocks and transactions. This would result in one node banning the other node for "misbehaving" (sending incompatible blocks). So an attacker could connect to an exchange's LTC node and send it the addresses for our seeds. The LTC exchange node would connect to the NLG seeds and the seeds would ban the exchanges address, or the other way around.
This could've been abused by an attacker to cause fragmented networks, possibly forks, and miners/exchanges being disconnected from the network.

With 1.3, this has been fixed. We now have a new protocol magic.

The reason we didn't announce this before actually forking is quite simple; we didn't want to give an attacker this information.
Changing the magic does not affect the coin in any other way, it's really only a low-level protocol property.

Big applause for the Dev team and ofcours to all people related to Guldencoin!

Grin

bittrex open? i want buy some guldencoin

GNDA5MZWcm4AjLtNuEmYpgH8qsxo4vrnY8 (Hardcore Miners) found the first one. I'm happy to donate 20K to them for finding the first DGW3 block Grin

Please note that right now https://explorer.guldencoin.com is on the correct chain.

guldencointrader and mycryptoco.in still must upgrade to the new chain.

The seeds are also all in sync on the correct chain: https://seeds.guldencoin.com
(not all seeds are enabled yet, this is on purpose)

My wallet was online after the update, so it seems the synchronization have stopped with the new wallet.
Have removed the old data and wait and see what will happen after the new synchronization Tongue

New wallet is starting synchronizing.... will cost some time, bad luck Wink

But very happy that the development group was able to make the awesome upgrade Cheesy

Thanx!!

It's a kind of busy here. Is there something happening?
Just joking. Splendid work Guldencoin team! Patching the magic is even more: well done.
Meanwhile: Windows Guldencoin wallet is fine
Google play store dutch version still says: Last update September 7 2014. Any estimation when Google will be ready?
