This is the first Dash release and it\u2019s huge! The team has been hard at work for over 2 months on improving various parts of the core client. The client should overall be much faster to use, require less bandwidth, will require a level-of-service from masternodes, perform Darksend transactions faster and has a new beautiful look and feel.<\/p>\n

All users must update!<\/p>\n

This includes protocol changes, so all users must update. Enforcement will be turned off briefly while the network updates, then turned on when we hit 80% in a day or two. Older version masternodes will cease to be paid immediately due to the incompatibility of the protocol!<\/p>\n

Special thanks to Crowning and Snogcel for the new look and feel, check it out below:<\/p>\n

Another special thanks to UdjinM6 for writing a really nice masternode management system. You can check it out here:https:\/\/github.com\/darkcoin\/darkcoin\/blob\/v0.11.2.x\/src\/masternodeman.cpp<\/a><\/p>\n

This module makes it much faster to restart a node, because it won\u2019t have to request the masternode list every time. It also keeps a record of the DS variables, which will make the network much more harder to trick.<\/p>\n

Configurations Have Been Moved!<\/p>\n

Configurations have been moved from .darkcoin to .dash! You\u2019ll need to do the following when updating your client. First close Darkcoin and backup your data directory.<\/p>\n

Windows: %APPDATA%Darkcoin
\nMac OS: ~\/Library\/Application Support\/Darkcoin\/
\nUnix\/Linux: ~\/.darkcoin\/<\/p>\n

After that rename it to Dash for Windows\/Mac, or .dash for linux. Next go open the directory and locate the darkcoin.conf file, rename this to dash.conf.<\/p>\n

Next, simply update to the newest Dash client and restart.<\/p>\n
