Good morning!

• Comcast apparently is finished with their outdoor installation! They tore up the block and left huge mounds of dirt on top of the snow; it will be interesting to see what things look like whenever the thaw finally arrives. They called to schedule the final connection.
• Gamecredits is back online. We are using the new Gamecredits fork, at bittrex. Cryptopia is open using the old Gamecredits fork. I asked the Gamecredits developers, gcdev, to get Cryptopia to shut down its wallet, because that's a dangerous situation for their coin. For now, we'll only mine the new Gamecredits chain until we find out whether Cryptopia is going to shut down their wallet or not.
• I certified SHA-256 this morning. The code for it is already out, so no restart is needed; we just weren't confident enough to enable it yet. Given that it's unlikely that a lot of miners will immediately flock to SHA-256, we may enable it tomorrow and then really ramp up the advertising after the new connection is installed.

Nice! When do you expect the final connection will be?
