I have a question about new Znode system. It is not clear from migration guide what defunct node means. If I change VPS provider do I need new BLS keypair or not?

If you change your VPS provider, you will lost your turn in the reward queue.
For the publics keys (addresses), it is not mandatory to make a new PayOut adresse, but recommanded for privacy reasons.

How is your answer related to my question? 

Ask in another way: is command "protx update_service "proTxHash" "ipAndPort" "operatorKey""  enough when change VPS provider?

The US Senate is now overtly trying to destroy encryption by making it mandatory for devices, OSes and service providers to build backdoors into it. This is not about law enforcement, this is about power and the creation of a surveillance state.

Howto get a list of new type masternodes via CLI? Znodelist command shows only old nodes.

And znode status command doesnt reflect an actual state of a mastermode.

Zcoin v14.0.3 and Zcoin Client 1.1.1 has been released!

This version is primarily a maintenance and bug fix release but is highly recommended especially for Znodes as there are times a low ‘maxconnections’ can result in PoSe bans. It also completely drops pre core-14 nodes off the network to reduce syncing delays.
