Ran my Bytecoin 0.8.1.0 client this morning and received an "Alert key compromised, upgrade required" error message. Anyone know what this is about? TIA.
This is a really old version; alert keys were deprecated way back in 2018 I think. You can ignore the message.
Best to upgrade to the newest version of bytecoin (v27.0.0); based on bitcoin v27.0.
I've just released it here:
https://github.com/bytecoin-crypto/bytecoinYou can connect to bytecoin mainnet node at 178.79.133.60:6333 and a bytecoin testnet node at 178.79.133.60:16333
Make sure you backup any old wallet(s) before importing them into the new version, just in case it corrupts it.
