I've just pushed out a mandatory update that will increase the incentive for mining, I think the original calculation was a little to harsh too quickly. The mining reward will jump quite a bit, and then have a more loose relationship with the difficulty. I think I've made really good progress and this will be great for XCoin.
Please update if you are :
- running a linux client or daemon
- running the windows full client (this should be out soon)
Miners running minerd are fine. This update goes into effect on block 5465.
If you miss this update message, worry not, just update and remote ~/.xcoin/chainstate and ~/.xcoin/blocks. Then you'll be good to go!
I thought that once a coin was launched, it was set. Is this not so? I was wondering about this also with the future encryption update planned; where transactions would be further obfuscated to hide identities. What keeps the coin from being manipulated in the future? I'm sure this is normal, but am compelled to ask how that works

Thanks to anyone who can explain this. Also, I think it would be good for the coin if this were explained here
