Blocktime target and maximum stake age

Looks like the move to a 2-minute target blocktime was successful   Smiley

The only remaining change in the v3.3 wallets to take effect is that there is a maximum stake age of 2.5 years.  You don't lose stake after this point, but you don't accrue stake any further.  This has already taken effect in a sense, but can't possibly affect anyone until the 2.5th anniversary of this coin, which I believe is this 27th December.


New wallet versions

There are new v3.3.0.2 wallets now available at britcoin.xyz.  Upgrading from v3.3.0.0 (which most people are using, as that was the last version that Windows and Mac wallets were compiled for) is recommended and desirable, but not essential.

These new versions reject connections from clients older than v3.3.0.0, as well they should because v3.3.0.0 was a hard fork.  They also have a few more hardcoded checkpoints to keep people on track while syncing.

If you have a version older than v3.3.0.0, you should have upgraded already and will likely be on an outdated fork.
