THIS IS CRITICAL SECURITY UPDATE that addresses vulnerability #797. All node operators need to upgrade before 2019-12-10T18:00:00.0 UTC to maintain network health. This update also includes an important improvement to the mining coordinator software and other improvements to the node binary.
This release also significantly improves the efficiency of mining coordination. However, it also involves a breaking change to the config file.
What was previously:
miners:
- foobar # just an account name
- cfd7816f15bd9413e5163308e18bf1b13925f3182aeac9b30ed303e8571ce997
Must now be:
miners:
- account: foobar
predicate: keys-all
public-keys:
- 3438e5bcfd086c5eeee1a2f227b7624df889773e00bd623babf5fc72c8f9aa63
- account: cfd7816f15bd9413e5163308e18bf1b13925f3182aeac9b30ed303e8571ce997
predicate: keys-all
public-keys:
- cfd7816f15bd9413e5163308e18bf1b13925f3182aeac9b30ed303e8571ce997
