SocialSend Core v1.2.1.5

SocialSend v1.2.1.5

This is a PENDING major version release, which includes new features, bug fixes and minor performance improvements.

KNOWN ISSUE

This release has a bug that causes synchronization from genesis block to fail. Please use the prior release of v1.2.1.0 to synchronize or until a new release is ready.

Update

SocialSend v1.2.1.5 is a pending mandatory update that includes consensus rule changes. While not mandatory at this time, the changes in this update will begin to trigger a softfork based on a 75% consensus rule to enable BIP65 protocol support. Once the network majority updates and is producing new version blocks (>95% of blocks match new version), a network fork (split) will take place and any nodes not updated at that time, will be blocked from the network.
Additionally, a security fix and consensus rule inclusion for checking of minimum age requirement on recent stakes, is to be implemented as well, via SPORK Activation. This is a manual activation and will take place at some point in the future, most likely beyond BIP65 activation and should not cause any distruption.

Release Notes

• Increment client version to 1.2.1.5-RC0
• Increment protocol version to 70821
  • Backwards compatible to 70820 and 70815 until consensus activation locks.
• Stable Build for preliminary release at this time.
  • Safe to utilize for staking and merchant applications at own risk!

If i update my local wallet, do i need to update my Masternode?

Masternode and local wallet should have the same protocol version for running, so, if you update you local wallet or one of you masternode you will have to update all your wallets. The same if your are mounting a new masternode, you will have to use the updated wallet and of course you will have to update you old masternodes too. So, we recommend that spend some time updating all your wallets, this way you will be prepared when the spork will be activated.
