The issue with difficulty increasing in infinity is solved. Ethereum have also patched this. Their (Ethereum) bug caused me to totally freak out.. spent many hours on this and solved it before them. A special thx to a guy in PM, you will of course be rewarded for this.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO UPGRADE THEIR NODE TO THE LATEST VERSION OF SHIFT. THIS IS A CRITICAL UPDATE.

The latest binarys can be found here: https://github.com/shiftcurrency/shift-executables

If people do not upgrade we will have an increasing difficulty in infinity, you will only loose money in hashing power. All the core bootstrap nodes are already updated.
