Development
•Last week, the PoC Consortium released the BRS 2.2.5 version of the core wallet, which helped successfuly mitigating a spam attack. PoCC developer rico666 reveals: “the latest spam attack which was mitigated by the 50-50 pool forging fat blocks and the release of BRS 2.2.5 stipulated development of BRS 2.2.6 which is to be released in December and specifically addresses inter-wallet communication.” In the meantime, everyone please update to 2.2.5 to keep the network as strong as possible. ◦Reddit user u/harryy1453 even made it easier for you to upgrade by introducing a “handy little repo that contains packages for the Burstcoin Wallet for Debian and its derivatives.”
◦You can probably expect a more detailed writeup explaining what happened with last week’s spam attack soon.
◦The Poloniex Burst wallet was momentarily disabled but everything is now back to normal.
•PoC Consortium developer JohnnyFFM hinted at a new release of the reference plotting software Engraver. And it’s fast… Very fast! See this Reddit thread for some never-seen-before nonce generation speed. Beta is already available for testers.
•Do you remember the PoCCBot we talked about last week? Well, work is still ongoing. What is now a “simple” tip bot might become much more than that in the (near?) future.
•Friendly reminder: the November announcement is coming next week.
