Grin + Grin Wallet 3.0.0-beta.1 Released

Announcements
1

Grin and Grin wallet 3.0.0-beta.1 have been released and are ready for public testing in advance of the full release slated for early January.

There are a lot of new features in this release, with transactions exchange via TOR, Payment Proofs and many node sync improvements being a few. But with great change comes a great need for public testing, so we urge the entire community to help out with the effort:

Particular Areas to focus on for testing

  • Sync a new chain from scratch
  • Replace binary, using chain data from previous versions
  • Sending between 3.0.0 wallets and 2.x.x wallets
  • Sending/receiving between a 3.0.0 wallet and your exchange of choice (use small test amounts!)
  • Sending and receiving transactions via TOR, see the wallet change nodes below for how to do this.
  • Requesting payment proofs
  • IMPORTANT: Run a floonet node and perform transactions on floonet during the floonet test hardfork, scheduled for block 298,080, estimated to happen on or around December 19th.
  • Wallet Developers - Using the new V3 wallet API functions, see notes below for details

Fantastic. What’s the best way to learn more about the new payment proofs?

Does TOR come included with the 3.0.0 wallet, or does it have to be installed separately? @Yeastplume

I try to sync from scratch but every time it get stuck at Downloading Headers now it stuck at %23 before that it has stuck at ~%64 when I quit and enter again it continue to sync. Build from source and have not touched any config files.

What do your log files show when the headers download gets stuck? Anything notable?

Looks like something to do with “DandelionEpoch”

No, TOR remains optional, upstream developers can bundle it how they see fit. Individual users just need to ensure TOR is installed and on the path.
