Zcoin "French Drop" v0.13.6.2

Instructions

Mandatory upgrade from 13.6.1 for Znodes and mining pools and local wallets with Znodes. Failure to update may result in inconsistent Znode information/status/payouts.

Highly recommended update for exchange wallets or wallets without Znodes but not compulsory.

If you are upgrading from 13.5, no reindex is required unless you are stuck on a block on which a reindex is required. Follow this guide on how to reindex.
