Adjustments to Difficulty calculation - Hard fork required

We have been monitoring the Ubiq network since launch and have found that the default Digibyte Digishield settings are overly sensitive to the Dagger Hashimoto algorithm so block times are not as consistent as we would like them long term. This issue did not show up in our earlier Testnet testing as this issue does not show up for smaller hash rates.

Since we are a new network, we felt it was right to make the necessary changes to address this issue early on. The network is working fine but we can do better.

We will be putting out a new release in a few hours which implements the changes. The technical details are that we will increase the number of past blocks that we will sample for calculations (up from 30 minutes) and we will decrease the % adjustment.

This will be a hard fork change but there will be adequate time to upgrade (around 24 hours) from when the wallets are released.

We have been testing this for a few days in our local Testnet and the results look good. We do not anticipate any issues and we are in close conversation with our pool operators.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Update to Bittrex listing

Bittrex are finalizing their integration work for Ubiq. They will be ready to list Ubiq after the hard fork has switched over. We will announce a day before when the Bittrex market will open. Thank you for your patience.

Fantastic work, I'm happy we can make this change in the early stage to benefit future customers with even more stability

Nice move from the team! Waiting for the new release.

not only wait but great enthusiasm and with steady mind someone can win a race.
