New version of VoteCoin 2.0.4 is released

we are happy to announce that VoteCoin 2.0.4 is released, and both CLI and GUI wallets were updated.
Most noticeable change is optimization in GUI wallet for faster sync and better performance.
Since the previous version of VoteCoin wallet has been already deprecated, it is essentially required to update to the new version

GUI wallet download: https://github.com/Tomas-M/VoteCoin-wallet/releases
CLI wallet download: https://github.com/Tomas-M/VoteCoin/releases

For your information, there is already an implementation in progress for import/export viewing keys (ivk) which are needed for switching the voting to sapling (for faster poll publishing). So next version of VoteCoin will most likely switch to Sapling even for its voting features (sapling is already supported in VoteCoin but only for sending/receiving fast shielded transactions)

Enjoy! :]


Thank you Tom.

Any chance you would work on the algo change? I understand that makes it difficult to keep updating with ZEC but I think its definitely worth considering 144.5 or 192.5 algo developed originally by the BTCz team.

Currently the entire VOTE network produces 71,280 coins worth only $35 for and entire 24 hour day. The global hashrate is equivalent to only eight A9 miners. The result is a pure mine-n-dump and eventually the blockchain will fall apart. I'm sorry you don't see how ASICs can ruin your project. ASIC owners are in a whole from day 1. They have hardware that depreciates 3x faster than GPUs. ASICS have practically no resale value about 10% in one year. GPUs are worth 60% after one year of mining. ASIC owners have no choice but to mine-n-dump to break even for their A9 bricks.

Would you be interested in passing on the task to another developer who may have more time to improve upon your work?
