Urp - I've fallen behind on time to be able to do the code integration for stratum. I apologize. If someone wants to fork the miner and do it, you've got my blessing... I still hope to do it if nobody else can, but I've got a bunch of day job things between.

don't worry, I read some people had problems compiling my fork so I'll review that and try to generate all the binaries.

Anything new this week Gatra?

This is the final implementation that I have for the superblocks:
Difficulty adjustments were performed every 288 blocks which should take 12 hs, so once every 14 adjustments (ie once a week) we will have a special interval. In these special intervals the difficulty will be adjusted a little bit down for all blocks except one which will be the superblock. The expected behavior is that 287 blocks will be shorter (136 seconds instead of 150), lending 14 seconds each to the superblock which will in total accumulate almost 70 minutes. This is the most elegant solution I could find since every interval will still have 288 blocks and be targeted to last 12hs.
So, if in a few days you get blocks with a reward of 45,33333333 instead of 50, then it is expected behavior. Don't complain: your block had less reward because it was easier to find, it's still fair. And if you get a block with 1389,33333333 RIC, then congratulations: you solved the superblock.

This is implemented, under testing, and working fine so far. Now what remains is to decide the block number for the hard fork (around 135000?), generating all the binaries and issuing alerts for everyone to upgrade.

Regards!

Awesome! Thanks Gatra! Cryptoworld is a bit volatile these days but Riecoin will surely come out on top! Any update this week btw?
