After getting responses from Deepbit, bitcoin.cz (slush), MtRed, Bitlc and BTCmine, it looks like march 15 is a reasonable deployment date for the security update described in BIP 30. I have created patches for: * git master: https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/tree/nooverwritetx * v0.4.0: https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/tree/nooverwritetx_v0.4.0 * v0.3.24: https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/tree/nooverwritetx_v0.3.24 * v0.3.24+vinced: https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/tree/nooverwritetx_v0.3.24+vinced * v0.3.19: https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/tree/nooverwritetx_v0.3.19 I've asked pool operators to upgrade, and confirm when they have done so. If you are a miner or pool operator, and have the ability to upgrade, please do so as well.
