          Why do we need them?

          [Edit]
          If we need the clients to test funcionality and/or features we should start the testnet again

              I’m just testing 0.11.2

              got it compiled with far less problems than I had with 0.9.x

              I just started the gui and it shows ‘MFTC’??!???

                  Will check that next time I start the gui. Currently testing the daemon

                  • sync is ongoing
                  • importing a private key for a wallet address is working

                    A comment from my side about 0.11.x:

                    for me both versions are currently in Beta test, as we

                    • don’t have pre-compiled binaries (started to work on that yesterday)
                    • have many references to “Bitcoin” in the help texts and some in the gui
                    • don’t have a clear picture (or sould I say ‘1 don’t’? ) how the bc and network behaves, if the new block version is enforced
                    • have no information of the status of pools, if when and how they’ll implement 0.11.2

                    But that is just my opinion. :D

                    What do others think?

                      Looks like a valid points. I think it is important to push Core 0.11.2 so more people can test and feedback.
                      Also I would like to see 0.9.x features migrated to 0.11.2 (Lizhi is working on migration)

                        Actually it is cool that we can test the new version on the live network, then go back to the previous version. Having more mechanisms to handle database upgrades and forks is pretty neat, and necessary in the long run…

                          another point to not advertize 0.11.2 and clearly flag it as “development only” version.

                          We can’t start to publish revisions and then implement changes, so we currently can’t make 0.11.2 a release yet.

                          From Github:

                          Tagging suggestions
                          
                          It’s common practice to prefix your version names with the letter v. Some good tag names might be v1.0 or v2.3.4.
                          
                          If the tag isn’t meant for production use, add a pre-release version after the version name.  Some good pre-release versions might be v0.2-alpha or v5.9-beta.3.
                          Semantic versioning
                          
                          If you’re new to releasing software, we highly recommend reading about [semantic versioning.](http://semver.org/)
                          

                          I think those are simple and effective rules and we should try to adhere to them

                              Do any of the versions/wallets of FTC notify the user when there’s a new official release ?

                              Is there a way that can be broadcast on the network ? …like “hey guys…time to upgrade!”

                                Funny you should mention that one reason “pchMessageStart.” - is required to be unique.

                                FTC had messages at one stage from LTC to upgrade, and Bush had to turn off that upgarde message facility to stop that happening. Not sure what keys you need to certify the message

                                  Should be, i think it was actually used before neoscrypt hardfork.

                                    Yes, it was turned off because it was broadcasting LTC messages, but it was fixed and used before neoscrypt hard fork…

                                          Coin base maturity has been 100 confirmations since the very beginning of FTC when block target has been set to 2.5 minutes. It’s 1 minute now yet we maintain 100 confirmations for compatibility and simplicity. Why do you change it to 30 confirmations for v0.11 out of a sudden?

                                            @ghostlander because our blockchain is 30 , pools are running 0.9.3.1 , it is 30. If I set 100 in 0.11.2 , cann’t work , get a error. After I set COINBASE_MATURITY = 30 , It is all right.
