New EMC2 wallet

This is an important message for all EMC2 users to take immediate action. Eintsteinium is currently transitioning to an all new blockchain via hardfork. It is vital to upgrade your wallet and store your coins on the new chain before December 7th. After this date, the old chain will no longer be supported. We appreciate all of the support from our community as we complete this necessary upgrade.

EMC2 Hard Fork date set in stone

EMC2 has been ready for Hard Fork for more than two weeks now. But since we were trying to fork Wormhole out everyone had to update at the same epoche, in between two Wormholes.

We tried to do it sooner in two attempts, to loop with everyone involved, but in practice some businesses move faster than others, and such approach might appear as not what community wants. We have shown flexibility, it is time to show strong will.

So we decided to set Hard Fork date in stone, but to give enough time to the world to prepare. Here we are:

Target HF Block: 1699157

Approximate HF date: 2017/12/7

Countdown: http://hfcountdown.emc2.foundation/

Please update your EMC2 nodes with our new code, that can be found on our official GitHub repo:

GitHub: https://github.com/emc2foundation/einsteinium

Branch: master_EMC2_HardFork (default)

Wallet version: 0.13.48.0

Pool operators, exchanges and other businesses are notified, and some already performed update.

Wallets will be available for download at the beginning of the next week.
Newsletters are at the door.

Team is focused now on EMC2 applications, and will give update on that in coming days.

Thank you for your patience,

Emc2 Dev Team

Wormhole October 8th

During this wormhole hash rate fluctuation may occur. In order to keep everything secured Einsteinium Foundation advised exchanges to either temporarily disable deposits and withdrawals or raise the confirmations threshold to 1200.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.

We are still working hard for upcoming hard fork targeted on the block 1640530 which will occur approximately on October 25th.
