Why are there no actual instructions here on what needs to be done if I'm running a node? Does a software update need to be done or not?
This is listed above as the official site but has no updated release:
https://github.com/ZencashOfficialBut this fork has updated software:
https://github.com/cronicc/zen/releasesWho is cronicc? Is this version legitimate since it is not the official site? And should I update my node to this version before the fork?
And is there an active block explorer? http://zenblockx.minez.zone/ is still offline.
This is a point where we need absolute clarity in what steps to take or this fork will be a mess.
Specific instructions should be posted here and on the blog site. They are working on a mandatory upgrade at block 117,575 to fix the security issues permanently.
Cronicc is one of the devs and its legit. He has done the wallet binaries and added the temp fix that is already on the official git (extended replay protection)
Here is an explorer: http://node1.zenchain.info:8886/
Keep an eye on the official git for the mandatory upgrade soon, they are testing it in testnet currently. The win and Mac wallets will be updated when its released.
Hope it helps!
