2.2.0 - Multiple Enhancements

Changes

Note You will need to update before block height 910000 which is expected to happen around Wednesday, March 23, 2022 03:00:00 UTC

This version introduces many enhancements to improve the stability and efficiency of xcash-core and xcash-dpops:

• Updated hashes so xcashd can sync, before we fixed the issue.
• xcashd syncing stability at block 910000
• Removed most mining code. Test show virus false positives dropped as well.
• Fixed the docker file
• Boost 1.77.0 compatibly
• GCC 11 compatibility
• Fixed debug build not working

Issues fixed in this release are:

• Issue #23
• Issue #25
• Issue #27

More information In the documentation: https://docs.xcash.foundation/dpops/get-started

How to update

• Download the file according to your operating system.
• Unzip the content and replace the previous X-cash executable in your folder.

Note if your a user of the GUI wallet you will need to update your binaries.

⚠ After you have downloaded the X-CASH software, your antivirus or firewall may flag the executables as malware. Some antiviruses only warn you about the possible menace, others go as far as silently removing your downloaded wallet/daemon. This likely happens because of the integrated miner, which is used for mining and for block verification. Some antiviruses may erroneously consider the miner as dangerous software and act to remove it.
We recommend adding an exclusion to the executable folder to avoid your operating system silently removing the binaries.

X-CASH 2.0.0 - Delegated Proof of Private Stake

Changes

This new version introduces the necessary changes for the new consensus algorithm: Delegated Proof of Private Stake.

• Block time of 5min
• Block reward multiplied by 2
• Change from PoW to a custom dBFT DPOPS consensus
• 50 delegates selected to forge blocks

More information In the documentation: https://docs.xcash.foundation/dpops/get-started

Schedule

Delegates can start registering today (January 4th, 2021). The new consensus will start on block 800,000, on February 4th, 2021.

🙏 Thanks

This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of all the participants in the beta & alpha, that took their time, knowledge, and implications into testing and improving the consensus. So many feedback has been taken into account and used to improve the onboarding and user experience of delegates and the stability of the network.

From all the team and the community of the X-Cash Foundation, we would like to thank and acknowledge the participants of the beta. 👏👏

X-CASH 1.5.0 - Cryptonight HeavyX Algorithm Change and 2 Minute Block Times

This release brings our own unique Proof Of Work algorithm change (Cryptonight HeavyX), to try to prevent ASICs and or FPGAs from mining on the network. This will also mean we are now nicehash resistant.

Cryptonight HeavyX is an algorithm designed to run slower than Cryptonight V8. Cryptonight HeavyX is essentialy Cryptonight V8 with double the iterations, while keeping the same scratchpad size. There is also a few minor differences.

This means that your hardware will get around half the hashrate H/s that it used to while mining XCASH.

Because this is a new algorithm we have created XCASH Mining software (using forks from XMRig and XMR-STAK).

XCASH_ALL_Miner
XCASH_CPU_Miner

We will be submitting a request to the mining software to add our algorithm into their software. In the meantime you will need to use our forks of the software. The readme page has instructions for how to use the software.

Because we know this is a slight inconvenience, all of the XCASH mining software have been built with 0% fees.

X-CASH is also now switching to a 2 minute block time, in preparation for our version of DPOS.

Release note:

• Changed POW algorithm from CNV8 to Cryptonight HeavyX
• Change the block time from 1 minute to 2 minutes
• Hard fork version 12

This is a mandatory update for everyone, whether you use the GUI or CLI, you need to update before block 281000 (Feburary 15, 2019) otherwise you will be on the wrong blockchain.

X-CASH 1.4.1 - Minor fix - Transactions inputs increase

This release brings some minor fixes, notably increasing the transactions input capacity. This directly translates to the amount of XCASH you can send in one transaction, fixing an issue where users would have to process payments in multiple small payments. We have also added new remote nodes to improve synchronization time.

Release note:

• Fixes the ring size to 21 in the CLI;
• Increased transaction amount;
• Added trusted remote nodes in the GUI.
• Reduce synchronization time.

This update is not mandatory but strongly recommended if you are trying to send large amounts to exchanges, or if you are mining with a small payment threshold

X-CASH 1.3.2 - Network fix

This is a major release to fix an issue where some miners could find themselves on an alternate blockchain after the implementation of the new difficulty algorithm from the release of 1.3.0 and 1.3.1.

If after the update you still have difficulties synchronizing to the network, it might be because you are on the wrong blockchain. You will need to do a re-synchronization of the last blocks of the blockchain, starting from block 94000. You can follow this link for a complete walkthrough.
