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: cutablesIf 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.
Kind regards
I would like to add that this is not a bug from Shift but from upstream geth implementation of Ethereum. More info here
Our main dev has been up all night and we found this bug shortly before it got fixed on ethereum itself. We've actually identified the source of the problem but due to lack of manpower were unable to get it out sooner.
