Overview

This is the v5.0.2 DigitalNote mandatory network wide update. On block 669,369 (approximate date June 27, 2018), there will be a hard fork on the DigitalNote network. This is a re-scheduled and consensual network upgrade, so unlike the BCH/BTC split a new coin won't be created. Rather, there will be a split in the DigitalNote blockchain where the consensus will start following the post-fork (or "new") chain instead of the pre-fork (or "old") chain. To be sufficiently prepared for the scheduled network upgrade, users should download and run the new daemon (v5.0.2) or GUI wallet (v1.0.15c-beta) BEFORE block 669,369. A blockchain resync is not needed. Only this version will work after the fork of June 27th. If you download/sync with the blockchain using the old digitalnoted (v4.0.3) or old GUI (v1.0.14-beta) after the hard fork, you will be on the old chain.

Release notes:

  • Proof-of-work change to CryptoNightV1 (variant 1 also known as "monero7") to remain ASIC resistant at fork height
  • Difficulty adjustment algorithm has been updated to Zawy's LWMA-2 to resist hash and timestamp attacks at fork height
  • Seed nodes updated to be operational (no more unresponsive seeds from old dev)
  • Block target reduced to 2 minutes at fork height
  • Difficulty is hard-coded to “reset” back to GPU levels for blocks immediately following the fork so that the network continues to work as intended and does not stall
  • GUI embedded pool miner now works
  • Latest checkpoints and small Payment Gate bug fix
  • Arch Linux compile fixes
  • Reset difficulty for 61 blocks to 1,000,000 to overcome drop in hash rate
