[ANN] Blockle v1.1 “DigiShield Fork” Live at Block 30 – GitHub Upgrade Instructions
Hello everyone!
We’re pleased to announce Blockle v1.1, which activates a per‑block difficulty retarget (DigiShield) at block 30. This dramatically smooths out block times and keeps us at our 15 s target even as miners join or leave.
⸻
Key ChangesFork Height: 30 – At block 30 all nodes switch from the legacy 2016‑block retarget to per‑block DigiShield.
[]
Averaging Window: 60 blocks (~15 min)[]
Max Adjustment: ±30% per block[]
Target Spacing: 15 s[/list]
Why DigiShield?[]Faster reaction to hashpower swings (minutes, not days)
[]Smoother difficulty curve under ASICs
- Closer adherence to 15 s block time
