This is a Mandatory Update
VPC Core v1.3.0 is a mandatory update for all users. This release contains new consensus rules and improvements that are not backwards compatible with older versions. Users will need to update their clients before enforcement of this update goes into effect.
Masternodes will need to be restarted once both the masternode daemon and the controller wallet have been upgraded.
You might need to perform a "wallet repair" with a full -resync.
If needed, please ask for support on official Voltpot's social media channels.
What's new
- New consensus rules implemented
- Internal (Core) Changes
Version 2 Stake Modifier: A new 256-bit modifier for the proof of stake protocol has been defined.
It is computed at every block, by taking the hash of the modifier of previous block along with the coinstake input.
To meet the protocol, the PoS kernel must comprise the modifier of the previous block.
Block index batch writing: Block index writes are now done in a batch. This allows for less frequent disk access, meaning improved performances and less data corruption risks.
Eliminate needless key generation: The staking process has been improved to no longer request a new (unused) key from the keypool. This should reduce wallet file size bloat as well as slightly improve staking efficiency.
- GUI Changes
Removal of zero-fee transaction option: The long term viability of acceptable zero-fee transaction conditions is in need of review. As such, we are temporarily disabling the ability to create zero-fee transactions.
Show latest block hash and datadir information tab: A QoL addition has been made to the Information tab of the UI’s console window, which adds the display of both the current data directory and the latest block hash seen by the client.
