Weekly update, 10 Nov 2026Midwimble is experimental, unaudited software. Expect bugs and parameter changes, and don't put anything into it you can't afford to lose.Walk switch at block 37,300v1.3-DIMEBAG (see last week's notice) is required on every node. The switch lands a few hours before Midstate's 371,500, expected around 10 November UTC, and merged mining pauses between the two. If you use the Midstate desktop wallet, upgrade it to Midstate v6.3.0, which carries v1.3-DIMEBAG.
v1.2.2-DIMEBAG (
release)
Nodes build past a run of other producers' over-cap blocks instead of on top of it, 12 blocks deep by default (
--max-orphan-depth, or
--no-orphan-over-cap to turn it off). Sync now follows a heavier chain that is shorter, where older nodes struck and banned the peers serving it.
v1.3.1-DIMEBAG (
release), no consensus change, optional unless you run a pool or have an NVIDIA GPU:
- Co-bonds while the node runs: a node started with --mining-bond takes co-bonds at GET/POST /co-bonds (RPC stays loopback-only) and registers them itself through --midstate-rpc. Works with midstate pool v6.4.0.
- Midstate Walk on NVIDIA GPUs through CUDA in the release binaries: --backend auto|gpu|cpu, MINER_CUDA_DEVICES, MINER_CUDA_WALKS, and gpu-info to check each GPU against known answers. Every GPU hash is re-checked on the CPU. Without an NVIDIA driver it mines on the CPU as before.
Repo and web wallet movedCode is now at
github.com/MidstateLabs/midwimble, and the web wallet at
midstatelabs.github.io/midwimble/wallet/. The old ciphernom.github.io address is gone. Wallet backup files need the .mww extension.
