Phoenix PoCX Wallet v2.0.3
A quality and stability release for miners: a new safeguard against the single most insidious forging failure (a drifting system clock), pool-mining quality-of-life improvements, a configurable plot file size, and several mining stability fixes. The bundled user handbook has also been fully updated.
✨ New
- System clock-drift safeguard (#77). Bitcoin-PoCX rejects blocks whose timestamp is more than 15 seconds off, so a drifting clock makes a miner look healthy while silently earning nothing. Phoenix now monitors your clock against network time and shows a colour-coded indicator in the toolbar (green / amber / red), with a System Clock Drift dialog showing the live offset, the warning/critical thresholds, and a Check Now button. A "Warn when system clock drifts" notification is on by default.
- Pool forging addresses, seeded and reusable (#79). Selecting a known pool in the mining wizard now seeds that pool's published forging address(es) into the chain config. They are offered as a dropdown on the Forging Assignment screen, so you no longer have to copy-paste a pool's address by hand.
- Configurable plot file size (#80). The per-file plot size is now adjustable (in GiB) in the mining wizard's advanced options on the Drives step — default 1 TiB. Handy for tuning file counts and resume granularity to your filesystem.
🐛 Fixes
- Chain config persistence & mining stability (#89). Fixes chain configuration not persisting correctly, a mining spawn-atomicity issue, and
tauri:devon Windows. Changing the node RPC or aggregator listen port now correctly re-points the solo chain, and the miner/aggregator report a transient Stopping state instead of a stale one. - Active-chain card no longer sticks at "Scanning 100%" (#82) after the last chain finishes its round.
- Clearer forging field (#78). The forging-address field is now labelled Forging Address / Pool Address to reflect that it accepts both.
🔧 Maintenance
- Updated PoCX dependencies to 1.0.4 (#83).
- Cleared npm audit advisories in the web-wallet dependency tree (#86).
📖 Documentation
