quests for devs...

1) The Windows wallet program (https://github.com/swap-dev/swap/releases) is very unstable, it "Not Responding" in many cases.
Are you planning to fix it ?

2) There is version 2.8 on github (https://github.com/swap-dev/swap/releases) dated  15 Mar
    There is latest wallet 2.8 (?) on https://swap.fyi/#wallets  dated 16 Jun

Which is stable version? Why you do not put information about new version ?

1) Which wallet are you using? CLI or GUI? What's triggering the unresponsiveness?

2) Those are just minor changes, small fixes, none critical, which will all be incorporated in the next release, 3.0. Until then, 2.8.1 is still fine. But fell free to use 2.8.2 if you desire.

1) GUI
 for example - start, sync, wait an hour, click to History => "Not Responding" occur

2) It's a good idea to put an anouncment about any changes of wallet application (just for security reasons).

Is there privacy feature?

For sure. It's forked from Monero, so, it includes every privacy feature Monero has implemented so far.

1) Very strange. As far as I know nobody ever reported such problem. Seems to be an isolated case. Anyway, seems like you're running a llocal node, correct? Could you try to use a remote one, just for testing purposes? Try also just running the daemon (and without the GUI wallet open).

2) Don't worry, we always announce all the big updates. That one, specifically, wasn't exactly announced because it was just a minor fix, nothing critical or important.

I've been hearing about issues with the wallet and have experienced them myself recently. Here is a quick report.

When starting the GUI wallet there are 2 options on type of wallet to open. Local node or remote node.

I recommend doing the local node if you can. There have been issues with the remote node (especially the default remote node). The issues is too much traffic. Here are other options other than the default if you want to use the remote node.

node.swap.fyi:19950
58.185.155.109:19950
Node.bitkitten.xyz:18850
node.pocketwhale.info:19950

Also it looks like the local node is taking a long time to sync at the moment. The next wallet release will reset this time I believe. For now there is a blockchain.raw that you can download to speed up the process. I haven't tried it personally. The raw file is over 5 GB so it is a large download.

https://node.pocketwhale.info/swap_blockchain.raw

And if you would like there is always the web wallet which is super fast. It is secure so long as your computer is not compromised (your seed is saved in cookies I believe). Good practice to clear your cache every once in awhile

https://wallet.swap.fyi/

Hope this helps yall that are having issues. As always feel free to pop in discord and holla

https://discord.gg/Eun5FHp

I've heard the next XMR release will make changes in the sync. But anyway, it's still faster than others (I made some comparisons).
But about the GUI problem, is it related with using the [node.swap.fyi:19950] remote node?

Is there privacy feature?

For sure. It's forked from Monero, so, it includes every privacy feature Monero has implemented so far.

very good, also because there are no securities all stock exchanges can list for american citizens. Promising project.

Actually, one of the main objectives is to find a competent profissional (possibly a lawyer) able to issue an official document stating that the coin isn't a security. That would open the doors for some big exchanges, including the US based ones.

It may have felt really slow for me yesterday because I switched from fiber internet back to cable internet.

As for the node.. yeah apparently too many people are using it because its the default option. Switch for a much better experience.

I think the Web Walet uses that node too, right?
In the future, maybe we should just provide more remote nodes option (or a better host for the main one).
New explorers too... So many things we have to do yet 
But anyway that's why I always say: It's always better to run your own node.

Yes, finally. Maybe in the future, we can better stylize the current main one, https://explorer.xwp.fyi/

By the way, I need to update lots of links in the announcements. Will do when I have my free time back again soon.


For everybody: Despite not being a hard fork neither a mandatory update, it is VERY important to update to the latest version, 3.0. It brings very important changes in the block sync, making it a lot faster than before, and fixing the slow sync issue, as like other changes, like the possibility of blockchain pruning (if desired by the user).

Daemon/CLI tools: https://github.com/swap-dev/swap/releases/tag/v3.0.0
GUI wallet: https://github.com/swap-dev/swap-gui/releases/tag/v3.0.1

The Ledger software was updated too (special thanks to Cryptoxic for helping with it) to work on 3.0

Oke so what can i do with my Freehaven coins?

Well, only the name of the project has changed. The addresses and keys are still the same, so, the coins are still yours, they just have another name now

If you're willing to help and support the project, and know one of those languages, fell free to translate and send us to be posted with PharmEcis account. It would be nice to have the entire big text telling the history and philosophy behind the project, but at least to have the other parts, like the specifications and the other parts, would be enough. But remember: Bitcointalk has a rule against translations using only Google or any other translating tools. So, it's necessary to be a native or at least a good speaker of the language and know what you're writing.

miner's network shows 10x increase in a one week. Unbelievable...

[wozzzzz]

word must be getting out or it has moved to number 1 spot in whattomine.com and everyone is pointing their miners to it.
