• NVC/USD pair planned on btc-e.
• New hotfix release with changed bnProofOfStakeLimit and minor fixes will be published today.
• Next major release will be based on bitcoin 0.8 codebase, we stopped work with 0.7 codebase due to serious issue in upstream. It’s planned at the end of April.

0.3.4 hotfix build is ready. It adds new hardened checkpoint at block #13560.

If you don’t have problem, which is described below, you can ignore this. But anyway, it’s recommended to apply this update, especially if you running mining pool or another service. It will prevent downtime possibility.

If you see “Invalid checkpoint found” message and your client switches to safe mode, you need to install this update and re-download the blockchain. By the way, with win32 client you don’t need sync og the whole blockchain, you can use files from the blockchain snapshot.

You need to update your nodes as soon as possible, otherwise you risk to be affected by blockchain fork which will happen soon (deadline is approximately ~30.03.2013) for unfixed clients.

P.S. Thanks to SunnyKing for help with investigating this issue. Smiley

P2pool was updated. It’s neccessary to apply this update after majority of hashing power upgraded. It fixes coinbase size calculation inaccuracy, which caused generation of invalid blocks in some cases.
