In less than 5 hours from now, at 6 PM UTC, we will make the switch to Argon2d16000 so prepare your wallets for mining as it will be the only way to mine Bitcreds after the hard fork. Expect your mining speeds to drop by up to 100x in comparison to Argon2d250, the algorithm currently in use.

Since this is a hard fork and taking precautions is recommended I advise not to send any significant transactions until tomorrow just to make sure you're on the right chain and the network is running smoothly.

If you like in-wallet CPU mining or you just like the stock, give it a go Grin.


Hi
Would love to give it a go, BUT downloaded wallet, clean install, ZERO connections...
Any ideas?

Synchronizing from zero takes quite a while even with enough connections so I recommend using the latest bootstrap here https://github.com/Bitcreds/Bitcreds/releases/tag/v1.7.0.0, you have instructions as well.

If you want to synchronize from scratch anyway you can connect to some of the nodes listed here https://explorer.bitcreds.org/network. The console command used for adding nodes is addnode <ip> add.

Hi,
I'm using wallet 1.7.1.0 and have those nodes, but still zero connections....should i be using wallet 1.7.0.0?

V1.7.1.0 is the right version to use. If you have no nodes it maybe that your node's IP address is banned as myself and others manually banned quite a few older nodes. For further support, please post in the the #support channel of our Discord.
