0.4.0c - released 10/29/2018
-
All versions of the Verus Coin wallet from 0.4.0 and later have support for Sapling high performance zero knowledge transactions, which will activate on the Verus Coin Network at block 227520. In addition to basic Sapling support, 0.4.0c includes support for Sapling compatible, transparent mobile transactions. For lite mode usage on the Verus Coin or Zcash networks, you will need Verus Enhanced Agama v 0.4.0c.
-
In addition to Sapling and support for Stake Guard transactions, which all versions 0.4.0 or later have, 0.4.0c also includes a powerful “Cheat Catcher” that can earn money as miners and stakers who use it protect the Verus Coin network by catching stakers who are staking for rewards in a selfish way that does not contribute to converging the network on one blockchain. The new “Cheat Catcher” support requires a Sapling z-address, either passed in to the CLI wallet with the “-cheatcatcher=zaddress” option, or added in the Settings->App config of the enhanced Agama GUI.
-
Once your cheat catcher address has been set, a full node wallet that is mining OR staking, will also be looking for forks where the same winning coins may be posted on two different forks, signed by the same person. If this is ever discovered, the the mining or staking wallet will create a transaction that has cryptographic evidence of the cheating and submit it for shielding to the cheat catcher’s address. That means that while staking or mining, anyone who has a Sapling cheat catcher address set, may periodically find an additional shielded coinbase or two in their cheat catching address. Earning cheat catching rewards does not new create coins, but actually takes them from cheaters, so DON’T CHEAT :) ! Earning a cheat catching reward can also occur whether or not you earn a block reward and is available equally across the network to all miners and stakers, more dependent on who happens to observe the cheating fork and catches the cheater than on staking or mining power.
Version 0.4.0c also fixes the following issues reported in prior versions:
- Wallet balance can get out of sync with blockchain when staking
- Some non-Latin usernames cause failure to load
- When used to load KMD in GUI Agama, Komodo stops accruing interest after transfer
IF YOUR WALLET IS OUT OF SYNC, YOU CAN RESCAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
For CLI:
- Simply add the parameter “-rescan” when starting the daemon.
For GUI:
- Close the application, wait for the GUI to close, then restart the GUI
- When restarting, select “Activate Coin”, not a dropdown shortcut
on the “Activate Coin” screen, select “Verus” and select “Native mode” - Choose the “daemon param: rescan” option
click “Activate Coin”
