So, a regular user who isn't mining should simply have waited a couple of hours and the issue of the fork would be resolved by the network... fine, great...
But what about miners? How is this going to be resolved for miners going forward?
Reddit said that BTCGuild and their ilk have changed back to 0.7, that's great for them but what about people using p2pool? p2pool interfaces with your BC client and as such it would mean everyone with p2pool has to downgrade to 0.7...
Are there plans for a 0.8.1 which resolves this or what?
Anyone knows the answer?
Edit your bitcoin.conf:
#Maximum size, in bytes, of blocks you create, large blocks can be rejected by the standard bitcoin node 0.7 and maybe earlier:
# 250000 is standard and safe for the network, 100000 lowers the latency of getblocktemplate calls which is good for p2pool's efficiency
blockmaxsize=100000
#How many bytes of the block should be dedicated to high-priority transactions,
#included regardless of the fees they pay
blockprioritysize=20000
#Minimum block size you want to create; block will be filled with free transactions
#until there are no more or the block reaches this size:
blockminsize=10000
#Fee-per-kilobyte amount (in BTC) considered the same as "free"
#Be careful setting this: if you set it to zero then
#a transaction spammer can cheaply fill blocks using
#1-satoshi-fee transactions. It should be set above the real
#cost to you of processing a transaction.
mintxfee=0.0005
Edit: oh, and restart your bitcoind process to apply changes.
