3.5.8.2-Mandatory

Gridcoin Research 3.5.8.2/MSI=41.7
Mandatory Upgrade

• At block 725000 we require blocks to be signed with keypairs.
• Enable binary superblocks at block 725000.
• When keys expire at the 6 month interval, check the keypair by signing a Test block, and if good, renew the keypair, otherwise generate a new keypair and a new beacon and save the new keypair automatically.
  (The wallet will repair the keypair if one of two keys are missing).
• Note: execute beaconstatus to find the status of your Prod keypair.

• Added Configuration File backup into the nightly Wallet Backup process (the file is stored in \walletbackups). Execute backupwallet to test.
• Added a suffix to the keypair configuration key name for TESTNET only (PROD has no suffix).
  NOTE: Anyone who has a Testnet Keypair that is already set up, please add the testnet suffix to your keypair name like this:
  publickeyCPIDtestnet=
  (otherwise you will see errors in execute beaconstatus)
• Added more error messages to execute beaconstatus to detect configuration problems: (Verify local config public key matches beacon public key),
  Local Config Public key missing, Show last superblock magnitude, and we now perform a block signing test and show the results.
  If the config shows as a failure, Staking will not work and this should help diagnose problems in testnet.

3.5.8.0-leisure

Gridcoin Research 3.5.8.0/MSI=41.5
Mandatory Upgrade for TESTNET
Leisure Upgrade for PROD

• At block 196550 in TestNet we require POR blocks to be signed (with the CPID private key)
• Added 'list magnitude CPID_' where CPID_ is Part of your cpid, for example if your cpid starts with 784, list magnitude 784 will show the magnitude for that CPID as of the last superblock.
  This should cut down confusion if your magnitude is showing as 0 or if you wonder what value your next POR will be assessed at.
• Fixed problem where the chain rolls back to the next mandatory block cutover in testnet.
• Added patch to store 0 or 1 in nContract field (please test after block 196550)

• Test voting in TestNet
• Test Binary superblocks: Verify the superblock is staked, the block number, and in showblock, verify the superblock is binary, and verify the constiuent magnitude (and POR payment) is correct.
• Testnet Thread (please go here to continue testing): https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/40141-testnet-research-age/page-34
• Fixed log spam in testnet
