We are proud to remove the “testnet” tag off our flagship application Particl Desktop today and move it on to mainnet. Thank you to everyone testing it the past 10 days as we ironed out the remaining issues.

As with all product releases, problems arise that we want to know about so we can expedite a remedy as fast as possible.

Please continue reporting issues on the Particl Desktop repository here: https://github.com/particl/particl-desktop/issues

New Features Overview

Multi-State Privacy Selection Modal

Within the Send window users will have the option to select their level of privacy; Public, Blind or Anon.

Public = Pseudo-Anonymous

= Pseudo-Anonymous Blind = Confidential Transactions

= Confidential Transactions Anon = Ring Confidential Transactions (RingCT)*

*Anon Transactions are currently being tested by researchers at NJIT. RingCT is also available on Particl Testnet 6

Multi-State Privacy Balance Transfers

Similar to “Send Payment”, when using “Balance Transfer” users can send PART between Public and Blind addresses only they own. Particl Desktop has an easy to understand interface to lessen the learning curve on balance transfers.

Sort and Filter by Type

Within the History window Particl Desktop now has some handy filters to easily find past transactions in your app.*

Sort transactions by:

Time

Amount

Address

Category

Confirmation

Transaction ID (txid)

Filter by Type:

All types

Standard

Anonymous

Blind

*Includes a “Clear all filters” button

ZAP

The addition of the ZAP functionality will greatly assist in successful cold staking activation*. This feature brings the option to:

Force (ZAP) that last few PART over to the cold stake address that might take a long time to stake otherwise

Force (ZAP) funds from small wallets to the cold staking address

Quickly activate cold staking, by means of sending all funds to the cold staking address in a single transaction

* Take note that the latter will be less private. If Privacy is a high concern for you we would suggest allowing the cold staking process the needed time to stake the funds as intended.
