Jumbucks Ethereum Edition - Alpha 3

Alpha 3 (v1.4.11-alpha3)

This represents the latest and greatest Alpha release with an all new Difficulty adjustment algorithm for this Ethereum fork.

This release has quite a bit of extra debugging in the console, especially when new blocks are found. Also as there is new code that is still in testing, we are keeping it closed source until it's closer to release time.

If you are running Alpha 1 or 2, please delete everything in your data directory except for the keystore directory.

This Alpha 3 release has the Genesis Block and Boot node built in. Just run it.

Testnet addresses will have Testnet coins already pre-allocated in the Genesis block.

The Alpha 3 changes are incompatible with the Alpha 1 and 2 network.

Changes

• Upgrade codebase to upstream Geth 1.4.11
• Modify block reward. Now 8 coins per block. This change wasn't committed in Alpha 2.
• Reduce rewards for including uncles in blocks.
  • This eliminates a possible attack vector in targeting the mining of uncles.
• Modify Difficulty calculation to be based on Digibyte's Digishield. This is a huge improvement over the current Ethereum Difficulty calculation, especially for longer block times.
• Implement CalcPastMedianTime (BIP 113)
