Dev Update

The devs have been working on a new daemon upgrade, version 0.2.5.12. Not only does this upgrade fix the ANS bug discussed in the last medium post, but several other fixes, such as:

Unspent outputs are now tracked the same way as BCH and BTC, removing the orphaned transactions issue.

A slight speed increase in transactions and syncing.

A slight patch leading up to the chain swap.

The coding is complete on the new daemon upgrade and dev testing is well underway. Once this the testing is complete and the new daemon has been issued, the community beta testing of ANS within Sapphire will begin shortly thereafter.

Also a shout-out to Dylan (@dolaned) for authoring his first ECC blockchain commit this week (with a few corrections by Griff), you can view it here. Basically, without this commit, we would have all had to fully re-sync the chain when upgrading to 0.2.5.12. Thanks to Dylan and Griff for saving community members from that hassle!

You will also notice a new sapphire developer starting to make some commits. Big welcome to Nick Zuccarelli! Nick has been doing some initial work on sapphire doing toast upgrades (which are basically pop-up error and success messages).
