Peercoin v0.8 testing

Thanks everyone for testing!

Next release based of the 0.8 branch (RC5) will fork the testnet to the new protocol.

New protocol rules encompass the following RFCs:

And activation of the “Segwit” protocol extension (BIP141).


We are some 30 working days away from this.

When peerassets will be integrated in peercoin wallet? (as optional)

Never. It was never imagined it should be in the “official” wallet.

@Vitalicus can you try again in the right repo this time? :smile:

I will wait “unofficial” wallet, with integrated peerassets :slight_smile:

you’ve opened it in wrong repository, please open it in peercoin and not rfc

0.8~RC7 has been released.

Changelog:

  • PoW block signature requirement is removed (RFC 0006)
  • Segwit protocol extension is activated

Please update your nodes, testnet will hard fork very soon.
There is a new testnet faucet at https://peercoinexplorer.net/faucet/ if you need them coins.
