We are pleased to announce that after extensive work, bug fixes, and testing, the client update to 3.8 is now LIVE.
All wallets on the website have been updated and are running smoothly (
https://horizonplatform.io/wallets/). There will be a hardfork at block # 275000 which will enable the new form of transactions, and all users will need to be updated to V3.8 before that takes place. You will also need to update your nodes before block # 275000 or you will stop receiving your bounty reward from that.
We have also wrapped the wallet into a windows .exe installer / launcher for your convenience. This is a preliminary version, and an updated version will be released shortly. I have provided a video explanation below on how to use this.

http://www.atcsecure.com/horizon/Horizon_3.8d.exeWe have already had contact with the other exchanges and they have reviewed our code, and after our hard fork at block # 275000, Horizon will be added to Bittrex and the other alt exchanges. This hardfork will take place in approximately 4 - 5 days, depending on the blockchain speed average.
After the hard fork, we will also be releasing an updated version of the explorer, with a completely redone back end, and an updated node reward script to match. Development on our first smart assets are nearing completion, and we hope to provide more information and a preview soon. With this wallet being completed, the forums will receive their long over-due facelift to match the website, as well you can look forward to another giveaway in the coming weeks on social media VIA Twitter @Horizon_HZ.
Recently, we had a community discussion about providing more transparency into the development funding for Horizon, and in the next 48 hours, we will be publishing a brief outline of how funds are being spent on a monthly basis, and a final round table community discussion on the proposed 'Horizon lottery' will be initiated to come to a consensus and iron out the details, and pending approval from the blocknet board, an update on the status of Blocknet.
We look forward to move Horizon forward and grow our community as we roll out new tech and partnerships. Thank you for your continued support, and here's to a great 2015 for the entire Horizon community!
