I only have v1.6.0, and it looks like the newest github source (at least from the link in the OP) also carries that version number: https://github.com/starcoinproject/starcoin/blob/master/src/version.h (see DISPLAY_VERSION_MINOR and DISPLAY_VERSION_MAJOR)

The OP also refers to a new Windows client version 1.5...

So where did 1.6 come from (official github), and 1.7 (windows only client?) Huh

I think my 1.6 client is refusing to connect to 1.7 clients. There's some change between 1.6 and 1.7 which means they can no longer communicate.

Is there a newer source code link for this?

Starcoin v1.7.1.0 releases :

https://github.com/strcoin/starcoin/releases/tag/v1.7.1.0-str

I used the source for Ubuntu 16.04 Wink

Where did that link come from? It looks like someone else took over?

This seems to be the major change, around 4 years ago:

https://github.com/strcoin/starcoin/commit/be22d2dc17473d478ae4008bb5ca2da14bcc7fc0

Version 1.7.0

After the time-wrap bug hit Starcoin at block 777855 again and finally stoped the network from producing new blocks the following changes to the protocol were implemented:

1) The ActualSpacing is bound by 2 seconds and TargetTimespan, i.e. 15 minutes
2) The PoW/PoS ratio is set to 1:3 (compare to the original one 1:12) to allow more PoW blocks as anyway for the last half of year the PoS was already broken.
3) The block trust scoring algorithm changed to target 3 PoW blocks among past 12 blocks.

A later update also changed the alert and checkpoint server keys, which on its own smells a bit funny, but I guess in context makes sense if someone else has taken on the revival of an abandoned/broken coin.

My source is from January 2014, and I'm stuck at the 777855 death block... guess it's time to upgrade. Wink
