Desktop Wallet Update
Wallet 2.2.0.11 is out and implements some changes to the block rewards, the Delta algorithm and prepares for the Electron front-end and removes some phase3 related parts of the codebase.
Rewards
As decided by the Gulden Advisory Board (GAB) the dev subsidy reward changes to 80 NLG per block and will be activated at block: 1226652 (Estimate 09/07/2020 @ 2:30pm (UTC+2). See the last GAB minutes on that decision.
Witness
Fixes a bug that was preventing witnesses from taking advantage of the ability to add transactions to the block they witness. This should lead to smoother transaction verification (lower average time until first confirm) and also allow witnesses to earn a small amount extra through transaction rewards.
Improved estimated earnings calculation in UI.
Delta
Activate changes to the Delta difficulty adjustment algorithm, which should see slightly smoother block times [Activates at timestamp: 1599494400 09/07/2020 @ 6:00pm (UTC+2)]
And more…
-Remove various phase3 related parts of the codebase, these removals improve application performance and simplify the codebase.
-Remove old official testnet and start a new improved testnet in its place
-Introduce various unity/node.js/electron related changes to the codebase, that will allow for electron UI (user interface) to be adopted in future.
Electron UI already in relatively advanced stages but needs further work before merge -> next release.
Please update as soon as possible if you are mining or witnessing.
