What happened today was a little more complicated, and DigitalPrice tells me they will upgrade, which will resolve everything later today. Due to one of the pools having a configuration error, combined with a change I had made, there was a pool specific rule that caused the older versions to stop progressing, while all those who upgraded were fine. The exchange hadn't upgraded yet. There was another issue with the pool software that once the network started experiencing these issues with older versions, it caused delays, and the pool software, instead of waiting, started flooding the daemon with block requests. We ended up doing a small, pool specific update, and all pools are fine now, as is the network, though people now need to upgrade to the latest at https://veruscoin.io rather than wait until just before October 28th.

The need to upgrade caught the exchange by surprise, and at the end of all analysis, it was my error, so please be upset with me (Mike Toutonghi), if anyone. It would not be fair to blame DigitalPrice. I apologize for your delay and inconvenience.
