Recommended Update

What’s Changed

This is an optional update, but recommended for masternode operators. It includes stability updates addressing several post-Eunos issues and targets especially masternode operators.

1. Since Eunos, mining performance has dropped due to changes in the account layer calculations during block creation, performance has been restored by separating the hash generation from block creation.
2. Increased mining efficiency, in that they will try to find a block using every second in the available valid time range.
