RC3 Soft Fork

Hello Everyone!

We've been testing a new masternode strategy on testnet that we're calling enforcement. This strategy will include a soft-fork that will activate immediately and is risk-free from the forking problems that we've experienced in the past. In the upcoming weeks we have a strategy for enforcing payments that will be released later.

As the network updates, masternode payments will automatically start. From here on, they won't be turning off, they'll just be getting better.

****** ALL USERS: PLEASE UPDATE TO 9.11.4 OR 10.11.4 *******

(Please compile if you're running a pool, exchange, etc)

Downloaded the new windows qt binary from the update link and it says version 9.10.2? Shouldn't it be 9.11.4?
 
 
Nice!!

Hey Evan, can we get a title and first post update over at bitcointalk? Pretty please. Thanks :smile:

Also, do we know which of the major pools have updated? I am assuming a notification went out via the mailing list...
 
A few stoopid questions:
Does this mean that masternode payments have started?

Here is the output of darkcoind getinfo on my masternode server:
{
"version" : 101104,
"protocolversion" : 70018,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 91779,
"timeoffset" : -3,
"connections" : 19,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 5303.99798456,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1402446205,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"mininput" : 0.00001000,
"errors" : ""
}
The balance shows zero, and there is nothing saying that it is running as a masternode. I am using an external wallet on my local machine.

Here's the output of darkcoind getinfo on my local machine:
{
"version" : 101104,
"protocolversion" : 70018,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 1000.00000000,
"blocks" : 91781,
"timeoffset" : 0,
"connections" : 2,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 4104.11382081,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1402635373,
"keypoolsize" : 101,
"paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
"mininput" : 0.00001000,
"unlocked_until" : 0,
"errors" : ""
}

On this one you can see the balance is 1000.00000000, but there is nothing indicating that it is a masternode either.

When I run darkcoind masternode list (from either machine) I see my darkcoin masternod server listed: "162.209.99.35:9999" : 1
To my understanding, this is what shows that I am running a masternode.

I think everything is ok and normal, but would just like someone more knowledgeable to confirm this if possible, and to let me know if I am understanding all of this correctly. (And also if masternodes are actually receiving payments at this time.)

91104 also not showing votes.
darkcoind masternode votes show results.

Yea, i guess that's part of the 'soft launch' - actually getblocktemplate returned payee for each of last 5 blocks, but inspecting generation TX in explorer reveals that masternodes have not been paid in these last 5 blocks.
