Mandatory Bitcoin sCrypt client update to v.1.3.3! Please update v.1.3.3 because we have a hard-fork at block 96180 to implement the community approved algorithm tweaks.

If […]

Hi everyone, I have heard some gossip flying around and thought that I would put the record straight that the BTCTalk situation has nothing to do with us or connected with Bitcoin Scrypt.
