So here's a question from a non-dev-type (me).  We were rolling along on Version 1 of the wallet/miner.  We hard-forked to Version 2.  We now want to un-fork (or fork again if that is more appropriate).  If we changed nothing in terms of the bug fix or optimizations (for the moment), could we not simply use Version 1 again? And if that's possible, would the bug fix and optimizations be able to be put in to the wallet later without it being a dramatic fork?

Interesting - you could try running version 1 to see if it accepts the current chain - if it does, it may well be possible to use it.

I installed Ver 1 but it just sits with "No block source available, 51 weeks behind"

As part of the previous fork, v1 clients were no longer allowed on the network. Mainly to reduce overhead in rejecting invalid blocks.

ah right. So maybe if he gives a v1 client the current blockchain, it could accept it and then be able to communicate with other v1 clients in a similar situation. Would be pretty hacky though.

Not seeing anyone jumping in on this.  Freetrade/Fuzzbawls, are you willing to do the work that needs to be done?
