>> Fibre 4.0 <<
32 and 64Bit Windows versions, source and MacOS will be available at relaunch. Any Linux Qt wallets or deamons you'll have to build yourselves due to differing dependencies on users PC's
We will need to place a fair amount of PoW mining power on the chain to break the current diff left over from the original mining phase way back. Once the next block is solved the diff should drop right down and then readjust every block to achieve a 1 minute block time. This new wallet will cause a hard fork of the chain so the Protocol version has been increased to ensure no old wallets are valid. You MUST only use this new wallet, even if you're just monitoring the network, so that the new blocks and TX are validated by your V4 wallet
New Specs:
Currently the chain is stuck at block 673690 due to a very low PoS weight. In this new version Ive enabled PoW from block 673686 so we can start the chain moving again still using the NIST5 algo. As discussed here are bullet points of the new specs with links to the repo to show some of the key code snippets...
- 8 Coin reward per block starting at block 674000 and up until 717200. Thereafter rewards will drop to 0, but PoW will still be enabled in case the PoS weight drops very low again in the future.
https://github.com/mammix2/fibre-core/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L992-L996- As discussed 60k Fibre will be extracted to a hard coded address (FBxWTZVQXPDdzYW4d5c9JSvwKug9bWt9AB) at block 673900, as a reimbursement for the year of hosting i will provide.
EDIT this point is currently discussed in the slack channel. Fingers crossed Fibre will get some value again in the future :slightly_smiling_face:

>>Please DONT built from this source just yet <<I will release the wallets tomorrow. I need you all to review the new specs and check over the source first just in case I missed something.
Please give me some feedback on all this. Thanks :blush:
