New clients trying to sync calculate retarget using KGW from block 1120000 and onwards, but krugercoin.miners-pool.eu has already calculated that block and added it to their chain using the old algo. So the local client will say hang on, the difficulty retarget that krugercoin.miners-pool.eu is suggesting is not the same as mine; disconnect for misbehaving.
You're right! The block 1120000 is on old algo, even miners-pool blockchain is broken! (1120000 was definitely not a good setting)
I shut down pool on miners-pool.eu, blockchain is broken, we have to wait a new version with checkpoints.


I don't think you need to shut down your pool, so long as everyone (or at least the dev) accepts the miners-pool.eu blockchain as the de facto official chain.

There is a workaround I can think of:

1. Use the old client to sync, which should get to block 1121075 (when miners-pool.eu upgraded). If you're lucky it will stall here... if unlucky, it will pick up another chain.

2. Change to new client and it should sync completely.

Releasing a new version of the client that only activates KGW past block 1121075 should achieve the same thing.

This needs to be done ASAP.

I have done a run with the old wallet and got over the block -- then ran new wallet and things seems to working now !



I also did that and it worked and I'm now on the miners eu chain.
But you need to make a new client version that works like almightyruler says above and only activates KGW past block 1121075.
Is this doable?
Also you need to decide if miners eu is the official chain or not.
