Hello Chancecoiners!

We're excited to release Chancecoin version 2.1. If you already have the client, it will automatically update for you. If you don't already have the client, you can download it from the Participate page. If you need some CHA, you should head over to our official centralized exchange, Poloniex.

The biggest change in this version is a complete overhaul of the transaction system. Loading a private key used to take a while, but it's fast now. As soon as you load a private key, you'll see your CHA balance and BTC balance as usual (if this didn't work for you before, you should try again). If you click your BTC balance, you'll see a list of unspent outputs that Chancecoin sees as being available for spending. You may recall that every Chancecoin transaction costs some BTC. For example, see this one. Those 0.0001086 BTC multisig outputs are what many of you were complaining about as "betting fees." With the new transaction system, Chancecoin will automatically reuse those outputs and credit them back to you (for example, see this transaction). This means that effectively, the only fee for a Chancecoin transaction is the standard 0.0001 BTC fee. We think this is a major win.

We've created an Issue Tracker. We'd like to ask that you file all bug reports and enhancement requests there so that we can organize and prioritize our tasks more efficiently. For example, if you upgrade to version 2.1 and you're still having issues submitting transactions from China without a VPN, please let us know through the issue tracker.

Ideally, we'd like to start using this forum as more of a marketing think tank. How does that sound?
