We are pleased to announce that DigiByte Core v9.26.6 RC2 is now available. At this stage, the release is restricted to the testnet. Prior to installation, please remember to verify your checksums and create a backup of your wallet. The download can be accessed here:

This latest version implements 24 fixes, with the vast majority directly addressing the RC1 reports you submitted. We have improved the interface to make the DigiDollar pages clearer, and DigiDollar validation is no longer tied to the contents of your own wallet. Furthermore, if minting is ever paused, the wallet will now provide a specific explanation as to why.

Performance and stability have been thoroughly verified. The update successfully completed a full Thaw Day rehearsal and achieved passing results across all 3,755 unit tests, 404 functional tests, and 256 fuzz targets.

Thaw Day has officially gone live on testnet26. Activation for the mainnet will occur at block 24,490,000, which we anticipate reaching around 1 November. It is essential that every node and mining operator completes their upgrade before this deadline arrives. Please be aware that this mandatory update applies to everyone, including those who solely rely on digibyte:native.
