Announcing the 1.0.1 Bitcoin Confidential release.
We have made many updates to make Bitcoin Confidential easier to use and work better. This release changes the way the wallet.dat files work and defaults to mnemonic phrase creating of wallets. We have made improvements to connecting and updated seeds to work correctly with IPV6 along with locking in chain parameters to help wallets with their initial sync.
This release will help answer the big question, when will I get a stake reward. Check out the status tab and you will see the reward frequency estimate specific to the amount of coins you are hot or cold staking. The stake splitting is also changing from 10k BC to 100K BC which will make stake rewards more consistent for those staking with more than 100k BC. Wallets are not created by default, but for staking nodes we offer a script to download a wallet, create a wallet.dat, and show a stake address here:
https://github.com/Bitcoin-Confidential/BC-ScriptWe recommend creating new wallets with a mnemonic phrase and sending from from 1.0.0 wallets to the new 1.0.1 wallet. This will allow simple wallet recovery with a mnemonic phrase. This will also reset the stake sizes to the correct splits amount for more consistent staking rewards. We will have a guide on transitioning from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1. released tomorrow. (1.0.0 wallets can't be imported into 1.0.1 and seed phrases(if you did manually create one in 1.0.0) are not compatible between wallets. Also imported keys will not be backed up with a seed recovery.)
