Veld 3.2.4

Veld Node 3.2.4 adds remote pool-mining controls and fixes Pool-tab hover flicker.

• Start or stop pool mining from the portal on a paired, online 3.2.4 client. No wallet passphrase or approval at the PC is required for these controls.
• Start uses the endpoint, payout address and CPU settings already saved on that machine. Stop also disables automatic pool resume.
• The portal distinguishes command delivery from a fresh report that mining has actually resumed.
• Invalid signatures, replayed commands, unsupported clients and incomplete pairing are rejected.
• Fixes unnecessary Pool-tab redraws when moving the mouse. Buttons retain the charcoal style.
• The accompanying website update improves Explorer and portal mobile navigation, places older wallet activity below the results, and removes obsolete launch text.

In the portal, select a machine, open More → Pool, then choose Start pool mining or Stop pool mining. Configure that machine's pool settings locally once before using remote Start. Veld must remain open and the PC awake and connected. These controls cannot wake a sleeping or powered-off PC.

Automatic updates remain opt-in and are checked hourly while Veld Node is open. The signed update preserves saved accounts and the selected mining mode. A deliberately stopped pool worker stays stopped until Start is selected.

This maintenance release introduces no new fork, hashing algorithm, reward policy, validator requirement or custody authority. Existing block-9,500 consensus rules remain unchanged. Solo miners do not need this update for a new consensus deadline.

Validation includes native command authorization and worker lifecycle tests, browser signing and command-state tests, Windows production builds, signature and updater recovery checks, and an actual desktop update followed by resumed mainnet pool work. The owner's remote laptop command and a natural hourly update are separate observations; this release does not claim completed custody qualification.

All packaged binaries and the corresponding source use commit de8aa0da736a6a77614814a986f882bff9c6ea40. Verify the signed checksum files before installing. Keep the complete extracted client folder together.
