ION 3.0 Masternodes changes
In ION 3.0, masternodes require a slightly different setup. The main change is that masternodes must now reside on a remote server and be started from a local server. While this system does require the use of two wallets, the local/remote approach has some advantages. First, the local wallet can be the Qt wallet (desktop wallet) which features user-friendly improvements making it much easier to edit the masternode.conf and the ioncoin.conf from the wallet itself. The local wallet only needs to be on when issuing the command to start masternodes. Second, since the remote masternodes do not hold any coins, your valuable coins are not vulnerable to theft, even if someone were to attack the remote node. No coins are stored on the remote node. Finally, since the local wallet can be turned off as soon as the masternodes are launched, it is possible to protect your coins from network-based attacks.
Zero Coin Arrives in ION 3.0 Wallet
ION 3.0 introduces leading-edge technology for transactional privacy. In order for the network to achieve this new privacy capacity, private coins (
called xION or zerocoin ION) are “minted” from traditional ION through
a process that occurs in the wallet by default.
Security implications
When new private xION coins are minted, the new privacy coins are recorded in your wallet.dat. The wallet.dat file automatically creates a new backup with every transaction. In the past, crypto wallet users have protected their coins in two different ways:
•Many serious cryptocurrency users are accustomed to protecting their coins by saving their private keys in a secure location.
•Others focus on securely backing up their wallets.
With zerocoin technology,
backing up your private keys is not enough because zerocoin ION (xION) is stored in the wallet.dat and not in exportable private keys. Securely storing your private keys is still a great way to protect your access to traditional ION. But the private key to a traditional ION address will not allow you to recover access to your Zerocoin ION (xION) if you lose access to your wallet. To keep both your traditional ION and your xION safe:
