Overview

This is the v6.0.1 DigitalNote network wide update.

Release notes:
There was a bug from the original XDN code that caused the block reward at height 704,000 to increase back to 320,000XDN per block. This update fixes that via a hardfork at height 704,614 and also applies a small fix to our difficulty adjustment algo (LWMA2).

The bug became apparent today and has been around ever since XDN's conception. The old Minergate chain will suffer the same problem. Essentially the block reward was being bit shifted and at block 704,000 when the height was divided by 11,000 (halving interval) the reward was shifted by 64 bits, bringing it to 320,000 XDN. You can examine the tech details for yourself in the old version of currency.cpp in the baseRewardFunction. Although it is an unfortunate occurrence, it would have been very difficult to discover before hand without a full audit of all the previous code. This patch will fix the issue and cause a fork upgrade at height 704614. This is a MANDATORY upgrade.
