Is there seriously going to be a true hard-fork with a few hours notice? If so, you are looking at a major train wreck.
Have the services that use/support Hyperstake been notified? I know I haven't, I only noticed it because it popped up in my reply post list.
Exchanges, explorers, gambling, etc etc?? All these services need time to get setup even after they are notified.
How many users are going to end up on a forked chain because they didn't happen to come to a forum where it has been announced in the last few hours?
Major exchanges have been notified, most of our services have been notified. You were on my list as well, just hadn't got there yet. Trying to do a lot of things at once here.
I was hoping that this was really going to be a soft fork until I saw this in the code currently in github:
if (pfrom->nVersion < 72099)
{
printf("partner %s using an old client %d, disconnecting\n", pfrom->addr.ToString().c_str(), pfrom->nVersion);
pfrom->fDisconnect = true;
I hope it is for testing purposes, and you are not intending to truly block out version 72000 from the new client (In other words a true hard fork) in the next few hours or even days.
This has to be a misunderstanding on my part. When is the hard-fork actually going to be enforced?
This was for my own personal testing. This should be doable via softfork, but I am sure old clients will be likely to get off on their own forks if not updated. Its hard to say for sure. At first we were planning on going all out and getting our whole list of fork items crossed off the list. This is just too much now, and too quick in advanced. I will simply be changing the timedrift code to 60 seconds. No difficulty changes or other changes. Hope this answers your questions, I will get you the updated code as soon as I have it.
No matter how much work someone puts into something, time, effort, sweat and tears, there will always be some douchebag(s) that will try to undermine all of your work...
