Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW

Only if rc4 works, i hope that. but rc2 fail ad rc3 fail two times. RC4 please make me happy Grin

RC3 was reverted once not twice -- it is now working with 99% pool compliance. RC4 is also a "spork" -- i.e. even if enforcement causes problems it can be turned off seamlessly. I really don't think there is much to worry about in terms of RC4 "not working".

I don't think RC4 will use enforcement(spork).
RC4 would be timed-fork(enforcement on), and spork would be used for failsafe.

Is that a guess or has that been confirmed somewhere? Could have sworn I saw eltito say the opposite.

Just a guess. Shocked

LOL

Well El presidente's guesses are better than most. I just wonder if there is enough time to test and give enough lead time for a hardfork by the end of July. A spork could be just 72 hrs or so of lead time, but a hardfork is at least a week. And as far as I know testnet validation is yet to get underway...

A hardfork is at least a week... ? What do you mean by that?

A fork is instant, and network consensus should be extremely quick given block time of (2.5 mins * 6 confirms) / block solving variance

I don't think pools will be at all happy with a "hit-n-run" hardfork. It needs to be announced well in advance to give people the time to update their daemons less we have half the pools/exchanges on the wrong fork and mighty angry.

(Btw, I am not talking about a spork where the switch is flipped after most have upgraded -- rather about a traditional hardfork, which is the same as releasing RC4 with enforcement enabled.)

It has been announced for quite a long time! And with spork already set right now, that is a non issue. Since 99% of pool have upgraded, 99% of pools will feel no difference when the fork is set.

We are GOLD to fork !

I thought there were incompatible differences between RC3 and RC4. In eltito's quote he says that the enforcement mechanism is going to change. Given that, I don't see how anybody running the RC3 wallet will have their blocks confirmed after RC4 enforcement. What am I missing ?
