What if there is no concensus on the Slothcoin network about moving to version 1.3.1 build 3 before block 300K kicks in? It needs to be considered that this might happen. Because only one 24/7 deamon updated and there are just a few other peers that seem to have done so until now. No worries yet, but from block 295968 it becomes crucial.

No worries, the Slothcoin version 1.3.1 build 3 still uses the same blocksize. Cheesy

This means that i can use 1.3.1 even if the network dont move to that version maybe?

You can use 1.3.1 build 3 just like 1.3.0, upto block 299.999.

Only starting block 300.000 1.3.1b3 will behave differently.
The reward system changes and the difficulty adjustment, that's all actually.

The blockvalue of height 295968 is chosen as a safety limit.
It is still a week before block 300K would kick in.
So if 1.3.1b3 is not used by a majority of peers, you could easily go back to using version 1.3.0 by then.

Have tried it, back and forth between version 1.3.0 and 1.3.1b3 and it works.
(Also exporting the wallet.dat then starting the old version 1.3.0 with it, confirmed to work.)

But this is considered only in worst case scenario, normally most peers would start using version 1.3.1 build 3 in time.  Wink
