Upgrading



You want to be sure to shut down Neos before copying wallet.dat anywhere else.

We always advise backing up your current wallet.dat in conjunction with using dumpwallet and storing an encrypted copy of that dump somewhere safe.



Windows Shut down Neos Download the appropriate archive for either 64-bit or 32-bit Windows and run the installer.

Linux



If you still have your Neos source directory there: neos-cli stop (or File -> Exit if running the Qt) cd neos-core && git pull && make && strip src/neosd && strip src/qt/neos-qt Place neosd, neos-tx, neos-cli and neos-qt in whichever path you currently had the previous version installed

If not: git clone https://github.com/neoscoin/neos-core and build Neos

ARM neos-cli stop (or File -> Exit if running the Qt) Download the above ARM archive and unpack it Place neosd, neos-tx, neos-cli and neos-qt in whichever path you currently had the previous version installed

Apple Shut down Neos Download the above DMG and install the app What this means for Neos, is that as of next month we'll have a full budget system to fund important teams and roles such as: Core development

Marketing & Design

Support

Frontend developers

Project managers

PR reps and any other various expenses that may come to be that in the past weren't possible to support.



Some other developments that have taken place this past week are:



Communication



We've bridged Discord, Telegram and IRC together to make sure that communication is wide open across all mediums and everyone can participate in the conversation. We're still working on the Discord and IRC bridge. https://forum.neos.sh/ was also upgraded.



Staff & Roles



BoubonicNugz, CC666, and Stoner19 were promoted to admins on Discord. BoubonicNugz also added some structure to the existing Discord and added channels for different topics such as: Announcements

Twitter updates

Reddit notifications (as posts are created)

Github commits (live as they happen)

Governance

Market analysis

Suport

Guides

Masternodes

Bug reports Exchanges



Bisq



Necessary modifications and additions were made to for Neos to be listed on the Bisq decentralized exchange (https://docs.bisq.network/getting-started.html). The pull request and commits can be viewed at https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/1657



Core Development



Development has started on the next update for the Neos base which will be followed by porting in the web/social code. We will begin refining our storage methods and follow that with testing, packaging, and then a beta network for the community to test before going live on the production network.



Lastly, there is a current vote active for 1 more day which if we won, would get us added on nodemarketcap.com. The link to the tweet with the vote in it is: https://twitter.com/nodemarketcap/status/1037902079610822656



We hope this newsletter has reached everyone in good health and happiness and look forward to what's coming. Thank you all for your continued support!
