@bitcoin1776 You’re good, sir.

[Forkgen Tech @ForkGenTech]

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

@alpacasw @Ragnarly @wtogami Splitting all forks is necessary as any other decision would be discriminatory.

#FGB35: Fixes issue where nodes would sometimes unwittingly become Bitcoin maximalists, adamantly refusing to fork despite consensus rule changes.

[Forkgen Tech @ForkGenTech]

In other words, your code will have less changes which means less chances for it to break.

If you did not customise the POW target spacing / timespan, the latest build reverts a lot of the logic required to handle this particular feature for builds that do not need it.

#FGB30: An update that fixes several issues related to version bits, and BIP9 activation, was released today.

Update is recommended but currently experimental.

[Forkgen Tech @ForkGenTech]

Note that you may have to click update twice, once after entering a new password, and once for the BIP 9 fix choice.

@lightninginabox @DwConan @YassineEraman I once tried using an old USB miner and it worked fine.

Looks like the BCH folks are finally realizing that true decentralization can only be obtained through massive amounts of contentious hard forks over an extended period of time. About time I say! To celebrate, here's a 50% off coupon that lasts throughout the week: FORKTIME

@MayorOfBitcoin I don't believe you will need custom code for each version, but I am going to make doubly sure I don't push out a broken fix again, so hold on for a bit.

#FGB28: Early block forks would not properly activate pre-existing softforks.

The intention was to set the activation threshold to 95/100 (95%) but instead it was set to 100/95 (105%).

[Forkgen Tech @ForkGenTech]

Update: the latest build is reportedly causing rejections of post-fork blocks. Looking into workaround, but this may take a bit as it may be different depending on when you forked. For now, stay on the current version.

[Forkgen Tech @ForkGenTech]

@MayorOfBitcoin It’s fixable by moving the activations I believe, but the fix may be different depending on when the fork happened. What block did you fork?

[Forkgen Tech @ForkGenTech]

@MayorOfBitcoin Thanks for the heads up! Investigating a fix.
