[Mandatory Upgrade] All minters need to upgrade to B&C Exchange 4.0.1

I guess tomorrow will be 41% :stuck_out_tongue:

Is it possible early buyers might have sold a portion of BlockShares and theyā€™re now in the hands of traders or people who just donā€™t pay attention or care about B&C?

Or do you think there was just too large of a window of time where shareholders were waiting and nothing happened except development behind the scenes, leading to inattentive shareholders?

In the latter case I would think at some point within the next couple months they would check up to see how things are going and realize how late they are in upgrading. Theyā€™re just not here all the time because things had been so quiet for a while.

I donā€™t even want to think about the consequences of the former case. We would have to redistribute new BlockShares to people who are still paying attention and abandon the ones who are not, whether thatā€™s even possible to do I donā€™t know.

Hopefully it wonā€™t come to that and releasing the OS X version and using our contact list to alert shareholders will have a significant effect. Still waiting to hear updates on those two things.

Yeah this is getting a little embarrassing.

Is there somehting we are missing? Like either 4.0 or 4.0.1 not counting or something?

Either way it would be bad for BCE, because this is just not the type of business that works this way.
The latter reason would be less bad, because once you were able to awake them, they migth keep paying attention.

I donā€™t know how to fix the situation, but you canā€™t do it this way. People paid for BKS. You canā€™t just dispossess them, because they donā€™t behave like expected.
I can only think of awkward solutions, which include at least partial dispossessions - if you want to get the 4.0 votes over 90% thereā€™s no way around that and I donā€™t want to go into greater detail about them for now.
To get done what I have in mind you only need a simple majority, but it will shed a very bad light on BCE.
Letā€™s wait and hope for the 4.0 votes to increase.

is possible for minting to continue only in 4.0 and stops for older versions?

Sure - once the protocol switch is completeā€¦
ā€¦but that needs 90% and two weeks :wink:

I messaged @BCExchange on Bitcointalk about using the BlockShare sale contact list to inform people. I was answered before on Bitcointalk, so hopefully I can find out if this was done yet or not.

There are only 40 minting nodes, and cannot upgrade in time, I strongly suggest to develope B&Cmessage by copying Emethā€™s App.

Weird: Just realized that I have NOT minted a single BKS since April 6thā€¦, as of displayed by the wallet QT.
Anyone has any clue?
Stake: 0.00 BKS
Client version: 4.0.1-beta , win7

What date did you upgrade to v4.0.1? Have you minted at all with the new client?

I updated on 3/30 and was minting up to 4/6 since then.

I just checked mine. I updated on March 31st and minted up until April 4th and then it stopped as well. I usually mint blocks many times each day, so this long stretch does seem strange. I donā€™t believe itā€™s a problem with my laptop or internet either, because the Nu client v2.0.3 has been minting just fine. Iā€™m using Xubuntu Linux by the way.

Has anybody else not minted blocks in a while?

Did you do anything on 4th or 6th (restart computer, whateverā€¦)?

I did nothing but leave my computer minting as usual.

I am intrigued a little bit more now about this defectā€¦

For some reason my bcexchange exe was deleted during the weekendā€¦it seems, weird.
But more than that, my last minted block was on 07APR16 19:43 and then nothing.
I will wait and see for a few hours but it seems that the network is undergoing some kind of weird bug.

Same, I leave my laptop minting on my desk. I just upgraded to the new version, unlocked for minting and left it alone until today. I just restarted it though and am currently loading up all my clients again.

If v4.0.1 clients are having a problem minting, this could possibly explain the low or even decreasing percentage right?

Whatā€™s connections quantity? 8?
