But... But... Why is there going to be a fork...?

Devvie
The current one was not intended. The devteam wants to controll the new fork and then others can join the fork.
There are to less people connected from the beginning to this new fork and there is danger it is not a valid one.
The comming days we decide if we go on with this one or with a new fork and 80% sure we fork from block 1051199.
I keep this one in live for a few days to investigate.
For people be in this fork we provide a boodstrap.dat and maybe new wallet client but that is were we are working on.
Do not startup your wallet if you were not online after block 1051199!

I was not online after block 1051199. How long do you estimate it will be before it's safe to start up my wallet again?
