[Dev] Hard fork to change retarget, averages and block time
-
Could this receive a highlight on our home page along with a link for miners and pool operators to go to for what their action items are?
good idea Matl. we will need a big push. Everything and the kitchen sink. You can all help.
Bush is working on a release plan, should be out soon.

The testing is complete and the results are everything that the simulation said it would be. We are all very pleased with the results and will now put out the new version with two weeks notice on the hard fork. I am in Germany at the moment but have my Mac with me which has dual boot.Right now I am setting up a build environment on Windows with the latest OpenSSL and tomorrow will create the new clients. Once the new version is out I will make an announcement thread in general and send out messages on Twitter, Facebook and Reddit so keep an eye out.

This may be out of context but are we affected by the heartbeat openssl vulnerability? Could this be looked at before the release or maybe be a separate project?
Your mention of openssl rang a bell.
Great news about the test results guys I’ll start rounding up a mailing list.
Do we need to need to contact merchants such as pock.io and others aswel?Its a long shot but could we contact coindesk and ask for a writeup on our multi pool defence and new block time?

Good explanation :)

By the way, all precompiled packages for the linux distributions should use dynamic links to openssl, so it is important, that users update their openssl packages, if this is not done automatically

Pay attention to blocks 220882 to 220887. 6 blocks in 4 hours, all of them are P2Pool generated. Flound says all his blocks were rejected by the ACP. This is a problem.
