On October 1st Bytecoin team have released a 1.0.8 update for Bytecoin Wallet. This update introduces the very first ABISprotocol implementation in form of micro-donations, Windows 32-bit version and RPM for various Unix-like OS's.
Donation MiningWith the donation mining option a user can select how many hashes per second (in %) she'd like to donate to the specified Bytecoin address.
Donation as % of a transactionWith % of a transaction donation every Bytecoin user is now able to anonymously donate random amount of BCN on each transaction. This amount can not exceed a percentage specified in the settings. Technically, the donation is taken from the change outputs, which implies that a donating transaction is visually no different from any other in the blockchain. We will cover this in more detail in one of the upcoming blog posts.
Windows 32-bit versionLong-awaited Win32 version of Bytecoin Wallet is finally here. It can be downloaded from
Bytecoin downloads page.
RPM for various Unix-like OS'sRPM is yet another executable that was requested by our users. Its advent marks that Bytecoin Wallet
