Hello everyone,

DGW3
A few days ago I posted that we were thinking about changing our difficulty re-adjustment algorithm from KGW to DGW3. The main reason for this upgrade is the swing in blocktimes caused by jumping miners. I promised to give an update today.

Meanwhile, there has been some discussion about other methods that could also be beneficial to Guldencoin. BTM’s long coin maturity is an interesting idea that might make it into the coin when more discussion has taken place. For now we believe the change from KGW to DGW3 is the first thing we need to do and we hope it will be enough to stabilize the network blocktime.

The word 'we' is used often in this post.  Just for clarification, when you say 'we' you mean the 5 people at 'https://guldencoin.com/who-we-are'?  Or were other people involved in this decision to hardfork?  Please don't take this as a negative remark.. just trying to understand what exactly the process is to decide on implementing a major change like this.

With "we" I mostly mean the team yes. But the decision is based on multiple factors: results from our own research, external persons/devs that we have asked for opinion, and rhe feedback from the community.

Thanks GJ.  I was half asleep after a very long day when I wrote the original post.. I read it this morning and thought to myself.. what a crappy post. Smiley  let me expand my original post a bit..  it should have included: "the work you and the rest of the team do is amazing work.  I have complete confidence the transition to DGW will go smoothly".  I'll continue to post the daily tally of blocks mined by Gf7wGA and the longest block of the day to nlgstats.iblogger.org.  We'll see how DGW does.  Cheers! --Mark
