Announcement

ECC v0.2.5.2 wallet daemon has been completed and code released on the github. https://github.com/Greg-Griffith/ECCoin/releases/tag/v0.2.5.2

BEFORE YOU UPDATE PLEASE BACK UP YOUR WALLET.DAT FILE TO SOMEWHERE SAFE

Website
---------------
The new website specifically for ecc will be going live today as part of an initiative to clear up the confusion about the difference between CryptoUnited and ECC.
http://Https://ecc.network will be live within 24 hours and contain all of the download links for all of the wallets by the end of Monday 9/11/17 (docker for OSX + docker instructions might take longer)
There is no more bootstrap for the new wallet. it will take longer to download a bootstrap than it would be to sync the block headers.

ChangeLog: https://github.com/Greg-Griffith/ECCoin/blob/master/release-notes/0.2.5.2.md
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Higher restructions prevent PoW blocks from being mined after block 1504000 after someone figured out how to mine PoW blocks again in July of 2017.
- Core upgrade from bitcoin 0.7.6 to bitcoin 0.12.1
- PoS system checking for a valid stake kernel hash completely reworked
- Syncing is now done by headers rather than blocks
- Other various small bugfixes and improvements

Known Bugs
-----------------------
- There might be an issue for some users with the wallet.dat files requiring a newer version of E-Currency Coin daemon. This can be fixed by starting the wallet with forceupgradewallet=1 set in the config file. There might also be a bug where a users balance does not show all of the coins in their wallet, this can be fixed by adding zapwallettxes=1 to the config file before starting the wallet. Neither of the previous config changes should be left in for more than 1 wallet restart.
- There is an issue with the wallet.dat thinking it is corrupted due to a bad file in the database folder. It has been reported that this can be fixed by deleting the database folder and restarting the wallet.

For those using OSX
The wallet will be available through docker

I know if you have ever heard me talk about apple/OSX, You know i hate it. However, some of the community does use it and we (the devs/sys-admins working on ECC, myself included) are going to do our best to provide an easy way to run the wallet on OSX without forcing people to run a virutal machine or change operating systems.

We will accomplish this through the use of docker. Bless that magical whale and a special thank you to altj for making the container.

With the dockerfile we will also put out instructions in a text document and an install script for OSX users. This should allow OSX users to be able to run the wallet on their computers with the same gui as everyone else without having to change anything about their systems (except installing the docker dmg). Support will be provided to those who get stuck doing the OSX specific setup so dont worry if you dont really understand what docker is. Everything will be fully documented.

We will be moving towards an OSX build again in the future that doesnt rely on docker, but for now this is an easier way for us to get those people using OSX up and running upon release without possible week long delays.

Hello Griffith,

Thanks for the hard work you've done.

I have one question regarding the coin now that the wallet is up and running:

When will ECC be proposed for new, more popular/bigger exchanges?
Do you have a plan regarding that matter?
