| # Dogecoin Core 1.8 | ||
| =================== | ||
|
|
||
| Dogecoin Core 1.8 introduces AuxPoW from block 371,337. AuxPoW is a technology | ||
| which enables miners to submit work done while mining other coins, as work | ||
| on the Dogecoin block chain. Dogecoin Core 1.8 also enables payment protocol | ||
| support for Dogecoin (note that Dogecoin's implementation of payment protocol is | ||
| not compatible with Bitcoin's protocol). Lastly, 1.8 also includes all fixes | ||
| from Bitcoin Core 0.9.2, whose release notes you can read at | ||
| https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.9.2 (this is a summary, and the release includes | ||
| around 150 bugfixes from Bitcoin Core). | ||
|
|
||
| Note that all users MUST upgrade to 1.8. If you're unable to update before the | ||
| switchover block (371,337, expected around 12 September 2014), you MUST update | ||
| as soon as possible afterwards in order to be able to continue to use Dogecoin. | ||
| Users remaining on the previous client **will not** be able to receive or spend | ||
| Dogecoin (with the exception of with other nodes who have not upgraded). | ||
|
|
||
| ## Upgrading | ||
|
|
||
| Before upgrading, back up your wallet.dat file just in case of any problems; you | ||
| can back up the wallet.dat file by using the "Backup Wallet" option from the "File" | ||
| menu. Ensure your existing wallet software is closed before upgrading. | ||
|
|
||
| Note that a full reindex is required as part of the upgrade to 1.8, and this | ||
| will typically take around an hour to complete. If you are running the Qt client | ||
| you will be prompted to reindex when first running the software, while if you | ||
| use "dogecoind" you must run it the first time with the "-reindex" command line | ||
| option. | ||
|
|
||
| To ensure a smooth switchover to AuxPoW, 1.8 has safe mode disabled 1 hour before | ||
| until 24 hours after the switch block. This ensures the actually legit fork will not | ||
| trigger safe mode and halt mining. If you don't want to have this behavior, then | ||
| refer to the 1.8-safemode branch. This one doesn't include the patch to disable safe mode. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Downgrading | ||
|
|
||
| As 1.8 includes a substantial change to the mining protocol, downgrading to previous | ||
| clients is not possible. | ||
|
|
||
| ## AuxPoW | ||
|
|
||
| AuxPoW is enabled from block 371,337. Until that block the RPC commands for using AuxPoW | ||
| will not function, and AuxPoW blocks will be rejected. | ||
|
|
||
| AuxPoW benefits Dogecoin in two ways; firstly, the effective hashrate of the coin is | ||
| increased by these additional miners, making it harder to perform a 51% attack against | ||
| the coin, and secondly it reduces conflict for resources (Scrypt miners), demotivating | ||
| multipools from switching between Dogecoin and other Scrypt coins. | ||
|
|
||
| AuxPoW blocks are mined using the "getauxblock" and "getworkaux" RPC commands. Support | ||
| for AuxPoW mining is included in Powerpool ( https://github.com/simplecrypto/powerpool/ ) | ||
| and p2pool ( http://p2pool.in/ ). | ||
|
|
||
| In comparison to the AuxPoW implementation in United Scrypt Coin, Dogecoin uses a | ||
| different coinbase transaction input script format which includes block height in | ||
| compliance with BIP0034. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Payment Protocol | ||
|
|
||
| Dogecoin Core 1.8 adds payment protocol support, which is used to streamline payments | ||
| being made to merchants. | ||
|
|
||
| This protocol is defined in DIP0070-DIP0072, based on the BIP standards with the same | ||
| assigned numbers. DIP standards can be found at https://github.com/dogecoin/dips/ . | ||
| The key differencs between the Bitcoin and Dogecoin payment protocols are that | ||
| the Dogecoin payment request uses a "genesis" field containing the hash of the network's | ||
| genesis block to identify networks instead of the "network" field. Further, MIME types | ||
| for the request, payment and response are modified to identify the files as distinct | ||
| types from the Bitcoin files. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Transaction Fees | ||
|
|
||
| As of 1.8 all transactions have fees applied by defaults, with no exemptions made for | ||
| "old" coins. This ensures fees are consistent, while remaining extremely competitive | ||
| (typically 1 Doge, or around $0.00012 per transaction). | ||
|
|
||
| ## RPC Allow IP | ||
|
|
||
| The format of IP masks supplied to the "rpcallowip" command line option has changed. | ||
| It no longer accepts subnets like '192.168.*.*', and the format '192.168/16" should | ||
| be used instead. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Other Changes | ||
|
|
||
| The Chinese and Korean translations have been updated. | ||
|
|
||
| Protocol version has been updated to 70003, meaning that a later release of the client | ||
| can block access to all old clients (70002 and below). | ||
|
|
||
| In case of an error reading the block database from disk, the database cursor could be | ||
| left open, which caused an assertion error later. The database cursor is now correctly | ||
| disposed of in all cases. | ||
|
|
||
| Tweaked trigger conditions for safe mode to take into account the much faster block time | ||
| of Dogecoin compared to Bitcoin. This should lead to less false positives. | ||
|
|
||
| A problem in parsing mangled dogecoin: URIs under Windows has been resolved, and as | ||
| part of this work network detection for dogecoin: URIs is now more robust. |
Oops, something went wrong.
