Hi all.

I've been slowly updating and testing the solo ckpool code to make it more useful for general use, updating it to work best with the latest version of bitcoin core, added some minor improvements and fixed a few minor bugs along the way. It's been undergoing intensive testing the last week and is in its final regression tests now, solving blocks on testnet. In the next week sometime I'll be planning to update the code used on this pool after testing is complete, along with an updated version of bitcoin core. There will be no changes to the end users and downtime should be almost undetectable. I will give advance warning of when this will be happening so people can plan not to dump hashrates here over that period if that concerns them. As with any update there are always risks of instability but I will only be updating once testing has confirmed it is working to my satisfaction.
