Hi All,

This is a mandatory upgrade as we have made a couple of significant changes to make the network more reliable and safe.

1. Core changed to Bytecoin 2.1.2
2. Increased Seed nodes from 2 to 5 which will be more than enough as per current stage of the project. We will add more as we get more traction.
3. Difficulty retargeting algo with change at block 40,000 to better handle instamine attacks and coin supply.
4. sikka.config modified to include block version upgrade, so it is mandatory to use latest binaries with the latest config file.
5. Checkpoints added to add another layer of security to the network.
6. Pool server, explorer server, and seed servers upgraded to latest version already.

New binaries along with new config are shared at this link

Anyone running old binaries with old config after block 40,000 will not be able to sync blocks or wallet. So upgrade within time.
NEW GUI WALLET WILL BE RELEASED SOON

Spread the word so that everyone can take action in time.

Thank you all for your support so far. We again expect more people to come forward to have a more participatory role in project development.


Those who want to trade Sikka on BT, should take at most care and should use the safest possible solution they have. Also, if community member can start a separate thread to their trading post, that will allow on this thread to focus on project related development talks.
