Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin | First X11 | First DGW | Fork for Masternode Payment
I thought there where 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 ?
Two fold. One is pool stratum code, the other is wallet. If stratum is updated, its good to go.
You can safely run with wallet as old as 11.4 right now, no "real" need to have 11.6
RC4 will basically change 6 random votes to deterministic top 10, making the dreaded variance much more in line with regular payouts.
Nothing but good stuff.
Sorry for continuing this discussion, but I still don't see how this works. Versions 11.4 - 11.6 are all RC3 based so I agree that they are all OK assuming stratum is updated. As for RC4, I thought 2 things where changing:
1. Responsibility for selecting winning masternode is moving from the miners to the masternodes themselves
2. Enforcement is being re-written to be "safer"(eltito's phrasing)
If only #1 was happening then I would agree with you, but if #2 is also happening I don't see how everyone will avoid updating. So is #2 NOT happening? And if so, then why is enforcement not already on if it will remained unchanged in RC4 (and since we are already at 99% compliance).
No need to be sorry! We could use a sensible debate instead of troll patrol
Cumulative coding.
#2 "only" means a different algo to determine MN payout rules. Apart other "secret" upgrades.
So you are saying #1 and #2 are really the same thing.... still seems off to me, but there is no point going back and forth as neither of us is privy to RC4 code.
It seems fair to expect that Masternodes will need to be updated for sure, whether "regular" nodes will be affected is up for debate. I don't think anyone "out here" can say with any certainty what will be required. (my personal opinion is in line with JGCMiner)
Edit: if we're adding that improved Darksend(+) will be included in RC4, then most certainly all clients will need to be updated to take advantage of that.
