I've made pretty good progress on the upgrade over the last couple weeks. If you take a look at the explorer network you will see a 0.16.0 node. I believe I have all the riecoin changes implemented. I was able to sync the chain starting from scratch. The gui is close to complete as well. I have a few more things I need to test. I'm hoping to release a version of the code in a couple weeks for more extensive testing.

Can someone give me a list of seed nodes to use? Should I use the list of nodes on page 284?

Very good, great news! Thank you! Are you working with Lzknr, or alone? (then you would be competing each other for the bounty) Do you have a GitHub repository, so we can check the progress?

Could you upgrade later to 0.16.2 instead of 0.16.0?

About hard coded nodes, try finding some very old lists and check if some nodes are still in the latest one from Ziiip, and choose these one. Or just run the client for a months and only keep the nodes that are connected at least 99 % of the time.

We will need to decide which of the bitcoin softforks we want to implement. The code is all there. It is just a matter of activating them. If we choose to activate them we might need to update miners to use a new block version.

All of them. It's not worth trying to deviate from upstream with the development manpower Riecoin has, and all available softforks offer valid network improvements.

+1, and this is likely to improve in some way acceptance and integration of Riecoin in future exchanges. (like Barter DEX which required some BIPs, but would else gladly accept listing RIC)
