Bunkercoin Core 1.15.4 - Major update!

This is a major update to the Bunkercoin Core. It includes a hardfork that will
reduce the blockreward to reduce the amount of inflation. This update also backports
some commits from Bitcoin (See #14).

### It is extremely important that you upgrade!

The hardfork will start at 600000 were a new block reward will be started. At block 1050000 we will be locked in to 6900 Bunkercoin per block forever.

Upgrading
Please back up your wallet.dat before updating. Not doing so may lead to loss of coins!
I recommend that you go to your data directory (On Windows: C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\Bunkercoin\) and
delete all the files there except wallet.dat (your wallet) and bunkercoin.conf and then letting the wallet sync up
from the beginning. If you are on Linux, just run bunkercoin-qt -reindex if you use the GUI or run bunkercoind -reindex if
your use CLI.

Downgrading
Downgrading is not possible and 1.15.3 will be removed from the network in newer versions.

Other changes
This version should patche a bug while trying to import private keys and
sys-256 backported some Bitcoin commits (4159975).

Other news
Our website is now on https://bunkercoin.org instead of the old https://bunkercoin.xyz. I changed
some QT files to show this change.

I hope you all enjoy this update and remember to never stop digging (mining) bunkers!

Bunkercoin Beta 1.15.4

This is meant to be used with testnet ONLY! DO NOT USE FOR MAINNET! This is meant to test the halving hardfork.

Backup your wallet.dat before using!

On Linux you will have to set it as an executable and run it with the -testnet argument!

On Windows you can open the testnet version of bunkercoin in the start menu.

Testnet coins are not real Bunkercoin and are using only for testing.

The hardfork will activate at testnet block 169

Thanks to people who will mine with testnet as they are contributing to the testing of bunkercoin.

5. Delete ALL folders and files in your datadir EXCEPT wallet.dat and bunkercoin.conf. YOU MIGHT BE STUCK ON THE WRONG CHAIN IF YOU DONT DO THIS!!.\
6. Relaunch your Bunkercoin Core and wait for it to resync with the blockchain, this may take a while.
7. When it finishes syncing, go to the console. If you are using CLI, do bunkercoin-cli getchaintips an confirm that the active chain (the one with status: true) has the same height and hash matching one of the latest blocks on the Official Bunkercoin Explorer.

Bunkercoin Core 1.15.0

Major Release! Bunkercoin Core 1.15.0 introduces AuxPOW at block 100,000 and a softfork at block 80,000.
Please upgrade as soon as possible! ALL users MUST upgrade to Bunkercoin Core 1.15.0
before block 80,000 if you want to mine and 100,000 if you want to send and receive coins on the network.

AuxPOW (also known as Merged Mining) will allow you to mine AuxPOW Coins while mining Bunkercoin.
You could be mining Bunkercoin and get some Dogecoin or Dingocoin in the process.

Upgrading

Backup your wallet.dat before you upgrade!

A full reindex is required as part of the upgrade to 1.15, and this will
typically take around an 30 minutes to complete. If you are
running the GUI client you will be prompted to reindex
when first running the software, while if you use "bunkercoind" you must run
it the first time with the "-reindex" command line option.

Downgrading

Downgrading is not possible.

AuxPOW

Since AuxPOW will be enabled on block 100,000 all RPC Commands
for using AuxPOW will fail and AuxPOW blocks will be rejected.

AuxPoW benefits Bunkercoin in two ways; firstly, the effective hashrate of the coin is
increased by these additional miners, making it harder to perform a 51% attack against
the coin, and secondly it reduces conflict for resources (Scrypt miners), demotivating
multipools from switching between Bunkercoin and other Scrypt coins.

Other changes

There is alot of changes, if you want to know all of them you will have to look at
changed between Dogecoin Core 1.7 till Dogecoin 1.14.5

v1.0.0

Mmm! The release of bunkercoin! May have major bugs of course. 51 block premine for checkpoint.

Hope you enjoy!
