Riecoin 22.03

This version ports the Bitcoin 22.0 improvements and adds a code generator, which can be used for passwordless or 2-factor authentication. It also includes the Bitcoin's Pull Requests 21500 (for exporting Descriptors) and 24058 (for initial Bip 322 message signing support). New wallets can only be Descriptor Wallets, though old Legacy Wallets are still supported.

The versioning is now based on the release date.

Riecoin 0.21.0

The Riecoin code has been ported to Bitcoin 0.21. More details on the Riecoin Forum. https://forum.riecoin.dev/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=33

There are interesting changes from Bitcoin like the Taproot/Schnorr Signatures Code or Descriptor Wallets feature. The Taproot Softfork is already activated on Testnet, and the activation process on Mainnet will start on May 1, activating if 75% of new blocks signal support (Bip9 activation). It will unconditionally activated around July 1 if the Bip9 activation fails. To signal support, just mine using 0.21, or on a pool that upgraded.

Other Riecoin specific changes from 0.20 are that a Default Fallback Fee is now provided (which suppresses a very annoying Error Message when sending coins), and the Mining Power metric after the Fork is fixed (it mistakenly still used the previous Minimum Difficulty as a reference). Some small code refactoring was also done.

The latest binaries can be downloaded here.
