I'm not a coder, but I think I get the gist of what you are trying to do. I want to use the current client to mine, but am leery about what will happen when block 48464 is reached. I suspect Ahmed Bodi and his clones will be waiting to scarf all the blocks with large ASIC machines. This seems all the more likely as at current difficulty mining BTC with anything but an S9 or better is a waste of time and electricity. Will your code be in place and working when 48464 is reached?

BTW, I still cannot connect to any machine other than your two. Is any one else running a node besides you and I? TIA.

Oh, I have never been able to make reliable time-frame estimates. I can pretty much turn on the Hard Turtle extensions now, but they are not fully tested. The problem is that there is no windows client. I have spent my time on the extensions, and assume that someone else can compile a windows client when the time comes, and if not I can do it at the end.

So long as we are the steadfast miners, all we have to do is refuse to honor strip mined blocks, and I can do that manually, so I am not really very worried.
