Due to the network issues, we asked the exchanges to disable wallets. We did not see any forks being mined, but better safe than sorry.

Finally things are getting sorted. Here are the highlights:

It all started on Friday 13th...
Yes it was that type of day. I got a DM from a pool operator saying all his nodes crashed. I was thinking some sort of hardware problem, maybe the networking go all messed up. But when I looked into it a bit deeper to my surprise there was a block that was mined into the mainchain that shouldnt have been! the '833 block violated the one easy mining per notary rule, and in fact did back to back blocks. This should have been rejected, so clearly this was much more than a local hardware issue.

....

As we update the various wallets, OS, and infrastructure providers, things will get back to normal.

For the more technical, my beta branch is testing out well and it is the basis for most of the mergemaster branch which will become the new master branch after it goes through testing.

For those that need prebuilt wallets, please be patient as we get them all rereleased and if you are in doubt at all, just wait to do any transactions.

KMD is now faster, more reliable  and able to reach the eventual consensus a lot more efficiently. The only unfortunate thing is that we need to make some delays as the exchanges will take several days to all come back online
