>>>New Espers Client - Version 0.8.6.0 Patch-0<<<
March 31st, 2017 (above is the windows client, Mac coming soon)
>>>Source<<<
Has now been released!
GitHub has been updated... now let us explain what this update entails.
v0.8.6.0 is a mandatory update in otherwords you MUST update your client to this version. By doing so you will ensure smooth operation of your copy of the chain as well as numerous fixes that have been rolled up in this accumulative update.
We of course recommend backing up your wallet.dat file however this is not necessary as this is a seamless update from the previous client with no loss of coins, no re-sync required no-nonsense.
The softfork to the new custom-built retarget system named "Terminal-Velocity-RateX" or "VRX" for short is designed from the ground up to integrate properly with the Velocity parameter enforcement system to ensure users no longer receive orphan blocks, insanely large debug logs, frequently rejected blocks, random forking, not being able to sync due to no connections, and other issues. These have been resolved.
After VRX kicks in everyone will notice the rejects nearly stop all-together (there will of course still be the occasional one while the difficulty adjusts to wild changes in hashrate but NOTHING like it is now.
Coming up next is a patch to the mining system which will simply only allow good blocks to be mined, thus removing the possibility of being rejected, at this point Velocity will only be a security system instead of "big brother" and protect the chain from old/depricated clients while they are still temporarily allowed on the network (until later protocol versions deny their connection later on in future updates) and/or possible attacks.
We hope that you enjoy this update and rest assured, there are MANY more coming. At long last mining is coming in the next update and much much more
Stay tuned!
(PS: The softfork is 14 days out from the date of this post! (block 667k))
