Please update your wallets before this date.

Overview

Version 1.1.0.1 includes Proof-of-Work consensus change, various improvements, optimizations, bug fixes, and GUI changes.

Proof-of-Work consensus changes

GPU mining with ProgPoW

• Aims for 70% of all PoW blocks averaging 504 blocks per day.

CPU mining with RandomX

• Aims for approximately 20% of all PoW blocks averaging 144 blocks per day.

ASIC mining with SHA-256D

• Aims for approximately 10% of all PoW blocks averaging 72 blocks per day.

Note: PoW will continue to target 50% of blocks alongside PoS’s 50%. This division can deviate with varying hash power.

[Performance] Rework orphan pruning (#727)

The PoS algorithm has a much greater potential to have several stakers submitting a valid block, even though eventually only one will end up being chosen by the consensus to be the official chain. All others that submit a block that doesn't end up in the chain will see orphans. These orphans reside in the memory of the core daemons until they are purged. As a result, the number of tips (as seen with veil-cli getchaintips) will continue to grow until it reaches a threshold of 1000.

RPC Changes

Mining

• mine=<algo> - (new) Mine blocks using the selected algorithm. Options are randomx|progpow|sha256d (default: randomx)
• pprpcheader - (new) The header hash that can be used by the local GPU miner to mine a block (using -miningaddress) as the destination for the coinbase tx\n"
• pprpcepoch - (new) The epoch of the ProgPoW pprpcheader given to user to be used by the local GPU miner

Network

• getblockchaininfo - (modified) Added difficulty value for each consensus algorithm
• getchainalgostats - (new) Returns the blocks found by each algo over the [blocks] blocks leading up to

CLI

• stdinwalletpassphrase - (new) Read RPC password from standard input as a single line
• walletpassphrase - (modify) Let 0 be max walletpassphrase unlock

Wallet

• getbalance - (modify) Fixed to get all coin types
• listunspent - (modify) Corrected listunspent for ct, ringct and zerocoin
• listaddresses - (new) Lists addresses in the wallet Address Book
• sendrawtransaction - (modify) Fixed Dandelion default option
