This is a mandatory upgrade, download Neblio v2.1 now at the following link: https://github.com/NeblioTeam/neblio/releases/tag/v2.1 and upgrade now.

QuickSync For All

Neblio QuickSync for all platforms is finally here! Hours upon hours of work went into ensuring that all operating systems and system architectures serialized the blockchain in the exact same way. This means that the exact same copy of the blockchain can be used on a Raspberry Pi as well as Windows, macOS, Linux, and Docker. Previously, every different OS and architecture serialized the blockchain in different ways. Neblio’s proprietary QuickSync technology will download the latest daily copy of the blockchain on startup whenever necessary and we have also included a button to perform a QuickSync resync in the preferences menu for quick and easy resyncing when necessary. v2.1 forces a QuickSync on first boot to update the database version.

After all of these changes most users will QuickSync from 0 blocks to fully synced in less than 5 minutes. Never spend days syncing again, ever!

Cross-Chain Atomic Swap Support

An atomic swap is a smart contract technology that enables exchange of one cryptocurrency for another without using centralized intermediaries, such as exchanges. Thanks to the code changes submitted to Neblio Core from David at NebliDex, cross-chain Atomic Swaps are now fully supported via the new OP_CODE CheckLockTimeVerify. This change allows software like Neblidex to implement trustless trades between separate blockchains such as NEBL/BTC, NEBL/LTC, etc without any centralized authority being involved. You can read more about NebliDex’s plans here. Atomic Swaps between NEBL/NTP1 & NTP1/NTP1 will also arrive in a future release.

We’re excited to see more and more 3rd-party developers contributing to Neblio Core and helping steer Neblio’s direction.

Neblio Alerts System

The Neblio Alerts system is now fully functional in v2.1. The Alerts system allows trusted members of the Neblio Ecosystem to communicate with all Nodes & Wallets on the network to share important messages from the team such as upgrade notices, security threats, or other information that should be distributed directly and instantly to users. Going forward, Neblio Alerts will be used instantly to spread important information regarding new versions and other announcements to all Neblio Network members.

Neblio API Suite SDKs upgraded to v1.2.4

Our API SDK libraries across all 8 programming languages have been upgraded to v1.2.4 to include better support for RPC calls, RPC authentication, and various bug fixes and performance improvements. We recommend all SDK users in all languages upgrade their applications to include the latest version of the SDK in the next update of their application.

Rejected Stakes Now Hidden

There has been some confusion amongst users regarding rejected stake transactions after the Tachyon Network upgrade. Put simply, rejected stakes occur when your wallet stakes a block and sends it to the network, only for the network to reply that another user already staked that block. Rejected stakes DO NOT affect your coin age or staking weight or reduce staking rewards in any way. This rejection is completely normal, but more common since Tachyon activation due to the lower block time, resulting in some minor confusion among users. To address this confusion, rejected stakes are now hidden by default in the transactions tab. Check the small box in the top left of the transactions tab to show them.

RPC Changes & Metadata Viewing

Information regarding NTP1 tokens & their associated metadata are now included in all RPC command outputs where appropriate. For example, the “gettransaction” command will now show not only the NEBL details of the transaction, but also the full NTP1 token details and any associated metadata. This applies to all other RPC command outputs as well, where appropriate. This change will further enable developers, exchanges, and other users to even more easily support NTP1 tokens as well as their metadata directly from the Neblio wallet or node without any APIs or SDK libraries required.

Neblio-Qt also includes a new metadata dialog when viewing transaction details. NTP1 transactions that involve metadata can now have their metadata easily displayed & verified directly in the wallet via a new and innovative “Tree View”, preventing users from needing a 3rd party service or block explorer just to view the metadata associated with an individual transaction.
