Lithos Testnet 5.5.0

Statistics

Added new optional statistics feature which persists data about the chain, and exposes it via the API for the webpanel to use. New statistics involve mining, collateral, hashrate, dex stats, and more. Additionally, we added support for priority fee choice and clearance age for collateral boxes. Finally, multiple changes have been made to the webpanel, including a new "Mining" tab, data about the fee market, and new documentation.

To run the application, unzip the file and then run the script in the /bin directory.

./lithos-client

This will automatically read from lithos.conf in your /bin folder.

To run with a custom configuration file add the argument -Dconfig.file=

./lithos-client "-Dconfig.file=path/to/custom/config/file.conf"

To build from source run:

sbt dist

This will create a new zip file in the /target/universal directory
