Good catch! I just tried to find contact info for the pool owner, to have him warned, but no luck Shocked

. I guess there is no point of mining with that pool after the fork unless pool gets upgraded to 1.1.
73 blocks to go ...

Sorry how are you able to check it is the older version?

At the top of the wallet click Help and then click About ROIcoin Core

The very top line will give you the info you ask about such as this from my wallet:

ROIcoin Core version v1.1.0.000 (64-bit)

Sorry, what I meant was the pool, how did he/she know that the pool was running on the older version?

If you go to http://coinspool.cu.cc/info_roicoin and look at the center green column labeled Pool it displays the Daemon version as 1.0.2.7

This should mean the pool is not on the updated wallet but then again it is possible this is just optics and this info hasn't been updated yet and they could be running the new wallet. So far and as far as I know the pool operator has not responded to requests on this issue. The pool operator has done a good job thus far and I have no worries everything will be taken care of Cheesy

ic, thanks for the prompt reply. I've switched over to cluster mining for now just to be save, don't want to get banned.

Also how would your banning work if the pool owner doesn't upgrade to the new wallet? what happens to all those new shiny coins that were mined using the old version? Would the server blockchain automatically reject them? I'm curious how that mechanism works, if you are willing to share. Thanks!

So without getting overly technical let's just say the code in the new wallet is able to take a look and see the version of a node trying to connect to our network and it can decide that version is not the proper current version and then reject it. All of this is done automatically. So if a wallet is not upgraded at the time of this fork block 25000 then that wallet will not be able to connect to our network of nodes any longer. Banned, kicked off, evicted are some words that come to mind. The reason this is necessary is to prevent someone from gaming the system by running the previous version and taking advantage of the incorrect/inflated interest rates.

In terms of what happens to those shiny new coins. That is a bit of a situation to say. So picture this in your mind and get a visual: we had a blockchain running only one running mind you so picture this horizontal line.... then exactly at the fork - that horizontal line splits into 2 and now you have two parallel horizontal lines after the fork. You know essentially 2 parallel blockchains running side by side. They both exist and they both contain the same coins that existed prior to the fork.

Now going forward past that fork these 2 different parallel chains are not interchangeable. One chain can't send coins to the other chain and vise verse. They are literally two different animals. So past the fork coins mined on chain 1 are only good on chain 1. Coins mined on chain 2 are only good on chain 2. If you are on the old version after the fork and mine coins those coins will be rejected by the new version. But, both chains do exist and both chains do have coins and both chains can move forward and continue to live.

A great example of this was when Bitcoin forked into Bitcoin Cash. I had a bitcoin wallet running and I had a bitcoin cash wallet running before the fork. After the fork I got free coins. The same amount of bitcoins i had before the fork i then had in my bitcoin cash wallet after the fork. The coins doubled and the new free batch of coins is on the BitcoinCash fork. After this fork the same coins exist on both chains and yet the coins cannot pass back and forth but are stuck on one of the 2 chains.

If this is not clear let me know what questions you might have.

So that means now I have double the amount of ROI I have before fork? how to get it?
