Notable Changes

  • gsa-cli commands
    The gsa-cli application provides a command-line option for accessing GSA coin Core RPCs. Before it was globalsmartasset-cli. Now Gsa-cli help with this command you can know all the command line for accessing and managing GSA core Wallet.
  • BIP65 Upgrade
    GSA coin follows BIPS , A BIP65 absolute lock-time encoding library. Which is implemented at 935101 Blocks.
  • POS to POS_v2
    GSA coin introduces a new Proof-of-Stake Version 2 algorithm (PoSv2) implemented at 935101 Blocks. There were issues at POS v1 which is based on “coin age” “and weight” for stacking rewards. 51% of POS v1 was attacked by hackers on POS v1 blockchain. Now POS v2 is based on a user being connected to the network so they could be randomly selected based on matured coin transactions.
  • Stake Modifier version 2
    GSA coin added a new 256-bit modifier for the proof of stake protocol that occurred at 935101 Block. It is computed at every block, by taking the hash of the modifier of the previous block along with the coin stake input. To meet the protocol, the PoS kernel must comprise the modifier of the previous block.
  • Time protocol version 2
    GSA coin introduces a new time protocol that has occurred at 935101 Block for the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, to ensure better efficiency, fairness and security.
  • P2PKH block signature added
    GSA coin added P2PKH at 935101 Block. P2PKH concept stands for “Pay to Public Key Hash" which will be solved if someone takes an advantage from eventually orphaned blocks and grabs the money from all transactions in them, by making a fake transaction for each one.
