I really like your project. Do you plan to list it on any exchanges?

the project doesn't pursue exchange listings. exchange listings will come if participants see fit. atomic swaps via HTLCs are the protocol-native primitive for peer-to-peer trading

v1.10.0 is out. fixes the IBD sync stalls and false-positive peer bans several users hit on v1.8.x–v1.9.x. v1.9.2 addressed one path; v1.10.0 covers the rest

root cause: the peer-strike subsystem was treating honest peer behaviour (rate-limited replies, at-tip tip-polling, transient transport hiccups) the same as protocol violations. honest peers accumulated strikes and got identity-banned. once enough were banned, IBD couldn't find a working sync source

if your node's been stalling, or you accumulated bans from an earlier version, start v1.10.0 once with `--purge-bans`. it wipes the persisted IP and identity ban tables on startup, then the node runs normally. don't leave the flag set in subsequent starts

wire-compatible with all previous versions. no protocol bump, no consensus changes — block/tx/chain validation rules are byte-identical. upgrade at your convenience if you're syncing fine

v1.10.1 — IBD reliability fix. closes a stall where a syncing node could get permanently stuck below tip if it lost its sync peer mid-download, even after that peer reconnected

drop-in upgrade for healthy nodes. if your node's already wedged below tip, recovery is a fresh-datadir cold-boot on v1.10.1
