v1.0 of the Solo Whitepaper has been released!  It is available at: https://files.minesolo.com/Solo_Whitepaper_v1.0.pdf

We have also released a minor version (v1.1.0.6) which moves alt_block PoW messages to the debug log level.

v1.1.0.5 is released!  This is a recommended upgrade for all miners due to the CN-IO PoW related fixes.

CN-IO PoW related fixes by mc.  Alt_chains longer than 5 depth should now reorganize properly due to the following fixes:
*  cryptonote_basic:cryptonote_format_utils: v2 fix: Use alt block data in generate_v2_data
*  pow:v13:get_v3_data: Use alt chain data for pow calculation
*  cryptonote_core:blockchain: get_alternative_chain
*  cryptonote_core:blockchain: get_block_id_by_height: get_alternative_chain with alt chain support
*  cryptonote_format_utils:pow: cache_hash: Cache the previous block id instead of the height. After a reorg the height may no longer match the block data, causing the wrong v2 data to be used for pow.

*  Update seed nodes
*  Remove checkpoints later than v15
*  Update submodules
*  Remove pruning.cpp/pruning.h
*  Add gen_ssl_cert
*  Fix typo in background mining message
*  Add weekly to mining_status output
*  Update ANONYMITY_NETWORKS.md, add README.i18n.md
*  Merge in latest changes from Monero upstream in: cmake, depends, db_drivers/liblmdb, translations, src/crypto, src/blockchain_utilities, src/common, src/daemon, src/daemonizer, src/debug_utilities, src/device, src/net, src/rpc, src/simplewallet, and src/serialization

We are excited to announce that Solo-GUI is released! Solo-GUI is based on Monero-GUI (v0.14.1.2) upstream and includes easy to setup, one click mining! Windows and Linux Binaries are available currently, but we cannot yet offer a MacOS binary unfortunately as our team does not currently have access to a Mac OS X machine to build on. Please contact @TyphooN on Discord if you can assist us in building a Mac OS binary!

* Some trezor fixes, however further trezor bugs persist and will be resolved in a future release.
* Sync status messages every 100 blocks instead of every 1000 blocks.
* Change max outbound connections back to 8.
* RingCT changes from upstream.
* Fix wallet2 height estimate.

We are excited to announce that Solo (XSL) has been listed at 2 new exchanges:
*  bia.do is an exchange that Monero (XMR) is the primary pair.  One of the potential goals of this exchange is to assist in decoupling BTC as the primary pair for most trading.  Piconero not Satoshi!  Check it out at: https://bia.do/
*  Bisq is a Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Check it out at: https://bisq.network/

./solo-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet

or in windows solo-wallet-cli.exe --restore-deterministic-wallet

v1.1.0.1 binaries are available:
* Revert DEFAULT_THRESHOLD_PERCENT change as it breaks syncing from 0
* Remove deprecated HardFork::get_last_version()
* Fix importer/exporter

* Important notes (when upgrading from v1.0.4.8 or earlier):
  * LMDB version increased to 3, so a re-sync from 0 or an import of a snapshot is recommended.
  * Wallet .cache files are incompatible with the new wallet.  Old .cache files may be deleted, please be sure to keep your .keys.  Once you load your wallet after removing the .cache file, a new .cache will be generated.

We may consider translation bounties in the future, but at the moment there is not a lot of content that needs translating.  This will change in the future, and I will be sure to let the community know when we need translations in various areas.

We are voting at https://www.southxchange.com/Home/Vote , crex24 has a fee (0.35 BTC which we cannot currently fund), and TradeOgre has not responded to our inquiry.  It seems that we will likely end up on SouthX before any of the others as we are currently #2 there.  We did very well in the qTrade voting round (#5): https://qtrade.io/listings

https://qtrade.io/listings double voting bounty Friday.  Each vote will be rewarded at least 1000 XSL per vote.  A screenshot (voted button with the system time & date) must be included.  This can be provided via DM on Discord to @TyphooN , @Railer X , or @quardtril  / in #📰marketing .
