Hi there,
I'm pleased to announce the release of Bitcoin XT 0.11A!
Download it from our new website:
I'd like to thank Anna Mendoza for her hard work on the new logo and website, thanks Anna!
XT 0.11A has the following upgrades over Core:
- Bigger blocks
- Double spend relaying
- Better DoS attack defences
- BIP 65 / getutxos support
- DNS seed list refresh
There are reproducible downloads for Windows, Mac and Linux 32/64 bit. There is also an apt repository that contains the reproducible binaries for Linux 64 bit, so those of us running XT on Linux servers can get software updates more easily. You can get the instructions on how to configure that from the website as well.
If you would like bigger blocks without any of the other features, you should compile the only-bigblocks branch of XT git yourself. That will produce a program that identifies itself as Core but contains Gavin's patches to vote for+eventually build 8mb+ blocks.
To learn about new releases
please sign up for the announcement list on the website. I will not be using the
bitcoin-x...@googlegroups.com list going.
thanks!
