So anything new going on with this coin development wise or news about exchange addition? I'm not going to bother reading through the 5 pages of pajeet spam that is generated everyday.
Unfortunately there is no updates about the coin development or exchange addition, there is also no newsletter this week, all the recent updates are just about the faucet. Devs are implementing new rules in the faucet hence 2 pages of people whining and blabbing about the faucet.
Many other projects doesn't have updates for weeks and still supporters have patience and trust... I think all that whining is a shame and just makes dev upset all the time...
Exactly I still do have patience and trust on this project. It's just frustrating that most people are just thinking about the faucet and not the development of the coin in general. Yeah I agree with you all the whining is a shame and it's giving such a negative impact on the project tsk tsk, I'm sure the devs are quite fed up with all these complains.
Some projects are being developed for years (like Skycoin) and people are patiently waiting. I heard that we gonna have a new wallet soon which doesn't have synchronization problems. Can someone give a link to the latest post about it? Or was it announced somewhere on slack?
It was officially announced on here a couple of weeks ago by jaycox,
AnnouncementThe RaiBlocks Team are pleased to announce the release of RaiBlocks Wallet 8.0 for Windows 64bit, Mac OS X and Linux. This is a major upgrade with significant improvements in the speed and reliability of wallet syncing. Other changes include the addition of new RPC as well as upgrading of the included submodules. It is recommended that RaiBlocks users upgrade their desktop/pc wallets to this latest version. The team recognise that the GUI has not been upgraded - it was felt that backend reliability was more important to improve.
At this point 32bit systems are not supported due to the block lattice file system exceeding 32bit OS limitations - it is advised to either upgrade your OS or use an online wallet.
To download please go to
https://github.com/clemahieu/raiblocks/releases/tag/V8.0While the wallet has been tested extensively for further feedback please go to #new_wallet on the RaiBlocks slack channel.
Some Changes:
- Reorganized the bootstrap code to be more readable and also fixed a number of edge cases where it would start from the beginning
- Votes coming off the network no longer cause an IO write every time greatly reducing running IO
- Blocks are processed in a single queue greatly reducing bootstrap disk IO
- Fixed issue where network requests would wait for IO to complete lowering throughput
- Fixed issue where log rotation size couldn't be changed
- Fixed an issue where the database resizing could cause a crash
- Tracking and displaying peer version number in GUI and RPCs
- Fixed a number of issues found with clang sanitizers
It took me 5 minutes to find that, never realized it was that long ago lol
