The last couple of weeks I've been focusing on stability of the beta version of the client and I think we're ready to leave beta. So this will be the first release candiate! There a few things that will need to be done before opensourcing, but everything is moving along pretty well.



Here's everything that changed:

- Masternode's sign their inputs to message the network that they're still active

- Various stability improvements and bug fixes

- If you run a masternode with an encrypted wallet, use "masternode start mypassphrase" to start the masternode. Upon running this command the client will decrypt your wallet, find the matching masternode input then sign and propagate a message starting the masternode

- Masternodes now can run with their wallets encrypted

- Election code (for selecting the rounds masternode) is greatly improved

- Found a few situations where darksend failed and fees were charged and fixed them



RC1.1 Changes (mandatory update)

- Moved many log prints to debug mode (sorry for the spam...)

- Changed masternode ping time to 25 minutes

- Fixed a bug with status update spam

- Incremented protocol version to kick off old masternodes



Next:

- Writing the code to pay the masternodes

- Users testing to find edge cases

- Forking mainnet to begin payments

- Adding queues for more than 10DRK
