bob said: The upgrade will include a new devnets feature to enable the creation of multiple independent devnets. Each devnet is identified by a name which is hardened into a “devnet genesis” block and is automatically positioned at height 1 block. This upgrade will also lower the number of inputs designated to each wallet, improve user privacy by eliminating the merging together of small non-private inputs, and decrease UTXO set size.

IronVape said: It’s a way to spin up your own private version of a testing network. So that you can experiment with various aspects of dash in a controlled environment. Currently there is only one test network, and when someone breaks something on it, everyone has to stop testing until it gets relaunched. Click to expand...

Care to elaborate on the IS improvements? What was wrong with it? What is better now?Is it ready yet? [/snark]How close does this get DASH to having an official chain-optional DAPI client (a merge of core and electrum so to speak)? ProofOfChain and chain query service from MNs added to PoSe?A client that allows the user to choose to go legacy and download the chain, or DAPI all chain data offa da MNs and make 'em serve it if they wanna get paid. So it's got both in one.It would at least be a first step for DAPI and demo it using data already present; the blockchain.Seems like the obvious, logical thing to do...If not, exactly what "foundation" does this lay?wut?I still have no idea what it is, why I should care, and why time was spent making this thing that wasn't mentioned anywhere ever on any roadmap type thingy...By the OP's description, it doesn't have anything to do with testing/testnet. And even if it does, why is it on mainnet?
