Dash Core v0.16.0.1 was released on Wednesday, September 30th, the first release of v0.16.x.<\/p>\n
Please see the updated product brief<\/a> to learn about the main improvements in v0.16 or the Release Notes<\/a> for the detailed set of changes.<\/p>\n Friday October 23th marks just over three weeks since the release of v0.16.0.1.<\/p>\n Note: v16 is a mandatory upgrade for everyone<\/strong>: miners, masternodes and users! Once the hard fork activates and the diverging block is mined, outdated clients will no longer follow the main chain.<\/p>\n At this point, about 75% of all masternodes have been upgraded to v0.16.0.1.<\/strong> This has increased by 9% in the last week. Thanks to all the MNOs for taking the time to upgrade promptly.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll very likely reach 80% by the end of this next week.<\/p>\n Version 0.16 includes a BIP9 activated hard fork. The activation works in periods or \u201cwindows\u201d of 4032 blocks. The third window opened at block 1358784, and was mined on 2020\u201310\u201322 06:29:59 UTC. This window is roughly ~7.35 days long and would require ~79.2% of the miners to upgrade for the hard fork to \u201cLock in\u201d. Each subsequent window reduces the threshold slightly, until it reaches 60% in 10 windows. The exact threshold schedule can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the time of writing, several pools have already mined blocks signalling support of the upgrade. About 800 blocks into this window, 13% of blocks have signaled for the upgrade.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is good progress since last week, additionally, a major miner just recently upgraded and has signaled a few blocks. We expect this percentage to significantly increase over the next week.<\/p>\n We encourage all miners to test this new release and begin upgrading your systems to v0.16.0.1.<\/p>\n In this release, two new sporks have been added, Spork 21 and Spork 22.<\/p>\n Spork 21 enables minimum protocol checks and LLMQ concentrated recovery. Spork 21 will be activated approximately seven days after 80% of the masternodes have upgraded to ensure that all MN operators have sufficient time to upgrade their node(s). Once Spork 21 is activated, non-upgraded nodes will begin to be Proof of Service (PoSe) banned.<\/p>\n I expect that Spork 21 will be activated in about 14 days. An exact date will be announced once 80% of the network has upgraded.<\/p>\n The timeline for Spork 22, which bumps the maximum number of participants in a round of PrivateSend to 20, will be specified in a future post and will likely be activated after the hard fork has activated.<\/p>\nMasternode Upgrade Progress<\/h2>\n
