CivicNet Core v1.0.1 - Linux (pchMessageStart fix)

This release fixes a critical networking bug reported by the community: pchMessageStart was never set in the chain parameters (mainnet, testnet, and regtest), which could cause peer-to-peer network magic byte validation issues.

What's fixed:

  • Added proper pchMessageStart values for mainnet, testnet, and regtest
  • This ensures correct P2P protocol message validation between nodes

Included binaries (Linux x86_64):

  • civicnet-node - the full node daemon
  • civicnet-cli - command-line RPC client
  • civicnet-tx - transaction utility
  • civicnet-qt - GUI wallet

Upgrade notes:

  • This is a networking-level fix. If you're running a node, please update to this version.
  • Your existing blockchain data and wallet remain fully compatible - no resync required.
  • Simply stop your old node, replace the binary, and restart.
