We're just making sure the per block decay is working perfectly as to prevent future problems.

We should be done soon.

I will send you a personal message when it is released.

Yes! We have chosen 100% to go with a Gravity Well!

I _[Aetheros] am, at this moment configuring the Dark Gravity Well for Testing!

We will be replicating current BlockChain conditions to mirror and address any potential unforeseen issues that could arise from the Update.

TBD:

• Configure DGW
• Configure KGW
• Test DGW
• Test KGW
• Index MainNet::ROC Checkpoints
• Assess Any Other ROC::Core Changes For Update

Planned Update Fx:

• Difficulty Adjustment Upper/Lower Bound Limits (Addressing Extreme % Deviation Off 1.5 Days)
• Drop In Difficulty From 80.9812 To Difficulty Commensurate Current Network Hashrate (Closer To 2.0)
• Multi-Pool Switching Protection (Protection For Solo-Miners, Standard Pools, and Core-Network)
• Marketing & Pool Listing Relations With Multi-Pools
• Groundwork Set For Future Utility Forks

Future Updates {TBA}:
_{Post-DGW||KGW Fork}

Edit: After ROCs First Update --> Donations Will Start-Up Again!

_--Aetheros

Yes, I am familiar with some security issues, good call! This looks like the route that will benefit ROC the most!
Edit: I skimmed over the DarkGravityWell Source -> It looks promising. We may have to go with the DGW


Do not worry -- All Coins Will Be Okay!:

• We Keep Several Backups of the Blockchain in Cold-Storage
• Handwritten Checkpoints Ready To Be Indexed
• We Have A Functioning ROC-TestNet Network -> Will be used to test and analyze the KGW Hard-Fork
• On TestNet we each have over several million ROC. We will ensure that no-coins are lost
• I spoke with Dr. Kimoto several months back and was graciously helped out to ensure ROCs parameters best reflect the main goal and primary directive of RedOakCoin
• If anyone is interested in helping out; We will post the TestNet-Testing Time's! It will be cool, I would like to show people how our Decay System actually works

Just wanted to thank everyone for keeping up with ROC even though we have hit a small difficulty bump.

How would you and others feel about a Kimoto Gravity Well hard-fork?

We have a block explorer, but it's currently running locally.  We're having issues choosing a cost effective server, any ideas?

As for the wallet, the only issue is the low rate at which blocks are being found, this is causing the wallet to think it is out of sync.

we are currently at block 12811.  If your wallet is not in sync up to that block, please email us at redoakcoin@gmail.com and we will be happy to troubleshoot your issue.

-Atheros^{ROC Lead Dev.,} Vulcan^{ROC Dev.,}

It's been a few days since I have been on and the team members keep informing me about people asking about our future plans. I am so torn; we are in such a competitive market, one so competitive that other coin devs., will go so far as to attack other devs., coins. Creative ideas do come easy, but are also stolen easily.

I will share one of the directions we plan on taking with ROC.

https://github.com/exaexa/codecrypt Is a Post-Quantum Encryption Suite with an amazing set of tools.

I, Aetheros, am an Industrial Organizational Psychologist who programs in C++.
Vulcan is an Environmentalist and studies meteorology.
P.B. is a Quantum Researcher (Can Not Post Current Job Status)
Plebius is a hardware engineer, C++ programmer, and was just recently accepted into Med school.

Together, and with the  github above you have a small hint towards our larger end goal of a new feature we hope to bring to the crypto-currency industry.

Otherwise, we are working towards block 17280 and will be pushing strong promotions from now and until then.

We are glad so many stuck with us in the beginning, and we hope to be mined as a Scrypt coin with stability and not features. Remember, we could also all features and pump the coin; but we can't add slowly grown stability. We look forward to a bright future and can't wait until the day we release the big news of our plans, but until then...happy mining.

We decided on a public premine (initial inflationary term), that's why so many went in the first day.  We are in the public premine phase until block 17280. After which our per block decay function will activate.

As of right now, we are on block number 12514

Each block up until 17280 is worth 129.53 ROC

Therefore 1,620,938.42 ROC's have been mined since the release.  

The maximum number of ROC's is 72,000,000

Therefore only 2.251...% of all ROC's have been mined to this date.

We are currently working on adding additional nodes.

Hey all just wanted to let everyone know that I have been busy working on a new Developer Node with Slate-API. I am so exited and love what I am seeing. Even though I am not online all the time, my team is still relaying all that is going on! I will address all Dev., issues from compiling and such in the coming hours-days! We are making wonderful head-way! I honestly am ecstatic and so excited to be able to get this Transparent Node online!

I will return shortly!

Thankss All!

--Aetheros

I just wanted to start off by thanking every single miner and supporter of RedOakCoin! This is greater than anyone of us could have ever imagined! WOW, I Love You All! Everyone of you have helped myself and my team to realize our dreams! This is absolutely wonderful! Also, I have been disposed the past 24 hours and Vulcan did a wonderful job handling the BleuTrade listing and other Thread Based Operations; so I just wanted to give him a public shout-out and must grateful recognition for talking the Helm while I was away.

Just a few quick notes:

• Our PM Box is filling up fast and we are hitting our 5-Hr Restriction!
• I will be continuing our donation efforts to our supporters

@hashpower
1. Ensure there is an obj folder in /src
2. Enter /src/leveldb
3. "make clean"
4. chmod +x build_detect_platform
5. sudo make libleveldb.a libmemenv.a
6. continue compiling wallet
x. This should solve your issues

@inspirone1

PoD Application was filed with CryptoAsain and we are still waiting on reply
Depending on our workload, I will:
A. Compile, Build, and Host a BlockChain Explorer
B. Some very generous developers have offered to have one made for us!
Just know that we will have an Explorer in due time. I just want to make sure things are done correctly and not rushed.

In addition, I have been talking with a most wonderful DNS Host to address node issues; we will also be able to host our Explorer from this Server should we choose to go this route

I hope all is well and you are up and running?

@#Addressing DarkTech Attack;
@8pool Informed us recently of the attack, there was an attack, I can confirm this. I would like to work personally with 8pool and to ensure this doesn't happen again. I can not speak for 8pool or anyone for that matter, but what I can offer is my personal service and guidance in server hardening, to help bring anyone person, miner, pool, or interested party in helping them to raise their security standards to our ROC security standards. Methods range from simple Honeypots, Wireshark TCP/IP Monitors, DataPacket analysis, and Traffic Encryption to cold storage, Quantum-Key Encryption (or 256 -> Quantum is a bit paranoid) and more. We do have a lot of work to process and get done for RedOakCoin, but would love to personally consult any and all persons privately on security issues of all kinds. For those already in communications with any of the Dev., will help step up security for you.

For Security Upgrade & Hardening Please Contact Us @:

• RedOakCoin@Gmail.Com [ Subject: ENC: Security Hardening ]
• BM-2cT2vHDrZSczobVgNgAnCqFNLUgp3e2CxU [Py-Bitmessage^{https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Main_Page} Direct P2P Messaging]

• IRC Channel Coming Soon
• We are not charging for this! This is the first step, in-part of a larger project which will be known as the RedOakCluster

@Blazr2 My friend you are next in line for donations! I would like to work personally with you for future OSX releases and updates. (Edit: Email Sent)  Our PM Box has reached its limits, please shoot us an email at RedOakCoin@Gmail.Com, or hop onto Py-Bitmessage [ BM-2cT2vHDrZSczobVgNgAnCqFNLUgp3e2CxU ] and we will discuss future releases.

Also, I wanted to give credit where credit was due. I didn't want to update RedOakCoin.Com until Blazr2 was compensated for his work on the OSX wallet. (Strict Moral Code -LoL) Will Be updating the *.Com shortly!

Ahh yes, there are many Scrypt coins! In ROC's infancy we toy'd with several other possible algo's. One of which was SHA-3, however, I believe MAX coin beat us to the punch -HaHa. We were looking into being the first Chat Message Coin (ShadowCoin:SDC (PoS) has actually done a beautiful job with their system), or even Anonymous Coin (But hey, AnonCoin has a 'BadAss' team, and well out of respect I don't feel right targeting their MarketShare). However, this does not mean that we are not still looking into these types of upgrades. Instead, we decided to take what some may say is the safe route. However, as you have just stated, launching a pure Scrypt coin in a vast sea of alt-algo's is anything but safe. We felt it prudent to release a clean-slated 'Scrypt-Coin' so that should the opportunity present itself, we could upgrade our systems and implement any future features that not only 'we' but our 'stake-holders' (Any interest party: From Miners, Investors, News & Media, PR, or just casual readers) request & desire. If we had, for example, released an Anonymous Based Coin, and 3-weeks down the road a major fault was discovered across all Anon., ID's & Coin-Mixing Core's we would be stuck with a coin in the fault and it would harm our miners, supporters, investors, and Dev., time. Having a blank-slate 'Scrypt-Coin' give us the ability to only move forward and progress, not worrying about downgrades.

In addition, we also wanted to have a coin that would be easily acceptable by all current standing exchanges, companies, businesses (Retail, Wholesale, POS-Servies). The major New & Media outlets have also gotten a firm grasp on Bitcoin and how to explain it to the general population. Because of this, they have begun introducing Litecoin & Dogecoin into the Mainstream Markets in a way the average consumer & investor can understand. What does this mean? We have created a coin to fit the mold of the current Mass Media-Template, and positioned ourselves in a way such that the news could not only explain what we are, but be easily understood by all. Imagine a progressive headline, "Know Bitcoin & Litecoin? How about RedOakCoin?" and with our 'Blank-Slate-Coin-Model' we could then add what we call anecdotal features: The article could read, "...RedOakCoin has also responded to stake-holders' requests for anonymous Wallet Codes protecting its users from unwanted prying eyes..."

We still have much work to do and many more updates to bring to everyone!
A lot of coins seek a rigid competitive market; It's not that we aren't prepared to compete or one up the competition...(Speaking Only For Myself Here) It's more that I prefer to take the 'Creative Approach' I compete against myself, challenging all that I know always trying to better myself. The thing is, there will always be someone better, someone smarter, someone vying for that "Top Spot." My question, or 'The Question' then is to address, "How can we bring to people what they want and not fall to the wayside by brute force competition?" It is truly a tough question to answer, but we believe, by studying Bitcoin's and Litecoin's success, combined with Apple's & Tesla's Corporate Operations Models, to have found the answer.

Future Additions:
We have massive plans for a Joint-Communications-Community; The RedOakCluster!
Please Note: Absolutely None Of This Is Set In Stone! It is merely an idealized concept for the potential communication's protocol & structure of the RedOakCluster! We would love your input on it, we would love your criticism and ideas! Please be harsh and please know that everyone of you are just as much apart of RedOakCoin & RedOakIndustries as myself and the other Devs.,!
