I'm not in control of the code anymore but i passed it on, here's what i was told (I'm just a messenger in this)
"We need people testing that diff adjust fork. We want to fork ASAP tell them they need to give us a fork date, if not we will chose it."
Okay, thanks for the message WASPJoe.
It looks like block #311152 is a good block to fork because after getting the message to stop mining -- the chain is now frozen there at a difficulty of 2.57959286 and miners have ceased progress.
I am happy to test the new diff adjust fork and would be happy to join the new community of developers too. Where do they idle on Freenode?
If a date is not driven by consensus - - or other replies in this thread -- it would seem to be having the fork at block #311152 is better because that block was solved and the chain remained there following your announcement here on the forum to stop mining on the main chain.
