if tesnet is all right, next, I will broadcast version 4 on mainnet

@lizhi have you compiled a linux version for the testnet ?

I have 0.11.2.1 compiled on Centos7, but it wont connect to the testnet.

I keep getting this in my /testnet3/debug.log

I have tried whitelisting that IP with -whitelist=115.29.37.248 but nothing happens

lizhi

Yes. I’ve noticed this information, and I think some code needs to be checked in the testnet.

lizhi

I solve your issues , fix CalculateNextWorkRequired on testnet
https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/commit/4604c4d856e83d7e80d9fd18eca9f6d8a4417a08

download 0.11.2.1 on windows
http://www.ftc-c.com/pack4/feathercoin-setup.exe

Thanks Lizhi, I’ll try to test this as soon as possible.

Lizhi, please wait with the announcement for the main net, until

you are sure, that the 11.2.1 pool found a block with BIP66 and 0.9.3.1 accepted it
I didn’t check your blocks in detail.
we have no more clients with version 0.8.7, 0.8.7.1 or 0.8.7.2 in the main network.
There are still many of them in my peers list.
Also the Android version of the wallet is at equivalent of 0.8.7 and needs an update first

The last point probably is the hardest one to archive, as currently I’m the only one trying to maintain the Android wallet and Java/Android programming is not really one of my skills.

Any Java/Android programmers willing to help out there?

Please contact me

lizhi

Our 0.11.2 work , it can sync all blocks.

lizhi

When miners find out a block version 4, 0.9.3.1 client make a alert info “Warning: This version is obsolete, upgrade required!”

Wellenreiter

@lizhi
That is good :)

It is the expected behaviour.The next step is to keep mining with both versions, but slowly move more and more miners to 0.11.x. As far as I understood, the 'old clients should be obsoleted, as soon as more than 95% of the hash rate is on the new version.
The question is, if this woks smooth, or if we get a fork in the testnet during this step.
