Merged bitcoin upstream v12

New CLI for proposals through Sentinel





Hello Everyone,I’m pleased to announce the second phase of public testnet testing for version 12.1. In phase one we’ve been working on merging upstream changes from Bitcoin into Dash-core. This included many changes to the way blocks are handled, nodes are handled and improvements to memory management and locking issues we’ve experienced.12.1 is the first version of the software that is the hint at what everyone can expect from evolution. 12.1 can be thought of as a pre-alpha of the evolution software, where all eventual functionalities will be accessible through low level APIs, allowing users to integrate existing software and experiment with Dash before it goes completely live and is accessible through friendly interfaces.To begin we’re going to introduce superblocks, proposals and contracts in the 12.1 software. This means that we will have mirrored the software capabilities in 12.0, with the budget system, but using a brand new decentralized governance system created purely for dash evolution.So what can you do for Dash testing? We want users to come in and test all of the basic functionality, such as mixing coins, instantly sending monies, even creating our brand new shiny governance proposals, then sentinel superblocks. This system is completely autonomous, therefore to test it you’ll need to follow a guide to setup the masternode correctly.Besides the many changes below, the system also uses a brand new signaling mechanism which allows the masternodes to form a collective opinion about various states of governance objects, such as funding, validity and many more. This is an extendable system which allows the network to custom design it’s own infrastructure, while only updating dashd yearly at most. This will allow quick resolution of new ideas, implementation and release without risking network security by over releasing versions of the primary network protocol.Want to help us test and launch 12.1? Simply follow the guides and test operations that we have below, then bring up any issues you find here.Linux --> https://bamboo.dash.org/browse/DASHL-DEV/latestSuccessful/artifact/JOB1/gitian-linux-dash-dist/ Windows --> https://bamboo.dash.org/browse/DASHW-DEV/latestSuccessful/artifact/JOB1/gitian-win-dash-dist/ MacOS X --> https://bamboo.dash.org/browse/DASHM-DEV/latestSuccessful/artifact/JOB1/gitian-osx-dash-dist/ Raspberry --> https://bamboo.dash.org/browse/DASHP-DEV/latestSuccessful/artifact/JOB1/gitian-RPi2-dash-dist/ Update.sh, put this in .dashcore to add automatic updatingTestnet tools (explorers, faucets, pools) --> https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/testnet-tools-resources.1768/ --Thanks so much to everyone who helped with 12.1!
