2013/05/10  please update now (move to a (hopefully unique) network magic number)

I need Win binary. I'm moving to Ubuntu but it is slow, I have been on Win for way too long. It will take some time for me to fully understand how compiling and other stuff work.
There are build instructions for Windows. Unfortunately I am Linux only for a long time already.. also I strongly believe in, everyone should compile his own binaries Wink Maybe you could post if you run into compile troubles and we can help you fix them.

Network will hard-fork on what block height?
Depends on the transition speed. I expect the scenario to be like that:
assume there are only 3 nodes: n0, n1 and n2 with equal hashing power. At point t0 node n0 updates. At point t1, n2 updates and n0 looses all his mining efforts as n2's block chain must be higher because n1 and n2 mined on it up to the point where n1 moved. Finally at point t3, n3 also moves to the newer version, but his mining efforts are lost, because n0 and n1 naturally could build a higher block chain with their hashing power majority.

I had previously been using the windows binary.  I just compiled the new update on Ubuntu but am finding that it makes 1 or 2 peer connections at most, downloads zero blocks, and then disconnects from those peers with 30 seconds or so, and remains at zero peers.  Not sure what is going on.

Please give it a few days time. In case you are on a permanent IP you can PM it to me and I'll connect to your node.
