Allright tell me about that major updates maybe i can make a quikflip?
But still i know whats gonna happend at the end.
No but really you got my attention i wanna hear about updates
First update was a hardfork that completely changed the rewards at the end of the POW cycle and a change to the minimum difficulty, from 50% per year to 30 Coins per Block static, the change to the minimum difficulty was increased because the difficulty was so low that Stakes would try to hash too quickly. Later additions to Staking was an inclusion to a minimum time (atleast 10 seconds before another Stake can be included), as well as LiteStake which I had help from presstab to implement which drastically reduces the CPU load. As far as I know PayCon is the only other Coin in which has the LiteStake feature. Further POS alterations was an increase of the minimum Fee to match the new rewards and a reduction of the time drift from 30 minutes down to one minute which effectively closes possible time warp exploits.
Features added or things changed
-Fixed the IRC chat
-Added links to all exchanges, links to the PayCon youtube channel, Forum link to the PayCon section on the Gethashing forums
-SplitBlock - SplitBlock allows you to take a single Block or multiple Blocks of Coins and split them up into sizes of your choosing
-Stake for Charity and Multisend - Stake For Charity allows you to have up to 50% of your Stake sent to a single address, Multisend allows you to automatically send Stakes to as many addresses as you want.
-Refined estimated Staking times on minting notifications, estimated time to Stake, sorting by Weight and Age in Coin Control.
-Select Blocks in Coin Control less or more than an amount, age or weight
-Deleteaddress RPC and GUI
-Moneysupply RPC (relevant money supply growth information)
-setstakesplitthreshold (set the amount at which your Blocks will split when they Stake)
-combinethreshold (set the amount at which multiple Blocks will combine once older than max age)
-rescanfromblock
-repairwallet removes orphans
-Date range for sorting transactions (useful for viewing how many Coins you Staked on a given day, week or period)
-Coin Control RPC (use Coin Control on RPC and useful when using the daemon)
-Hashsettings RPC (adjust your time drift and hashing settings)
-getstaketx RPC
-getconfs RPC
-addnode RPC (add nodes through RPC)
-getweight RPC (view current weight)
-DNS seednode added so clients connect to the network without needing a PayCon.conf file
-TOR connection by default (hides all IP's and reroutes the entire network through TOR)
-6 Themes, icons and moving the menu to the left side for easier access
I think that's the majority of it, some small fixes as well so that you are not viewing orphans as part of balance, fix to unlock for Stake, addition of number of transactions to balances and probably some stuff I have missed.
Also 5-6 promotional videos, Slack channel, Facebook (although I don't have time to keep up to date with it) and also did Stake week and a massive giveaway on the Gethashing forums for all those who lost money on PayCoin (I bought and Staked until I had 16% of the Coin and gave all of it away which also created a much more decentralized network, increased difficulty and security of the network). You can view the giveaway here
