BLACKCOIN MANDATORY UPDATE INCLUDES POS 2.0

There is a mandatory client update for BlackCoin, which was released just minutes ago. This updates’ main feature will be Proof-of-Stake 2.0, but there are some other important fixes as well, so let’s take a closer look!


It has been announced for weeks now, how BlackCoin would bring us the new level of Proof-of-Stake, called PoS 2.0. As the current PoS system has a fair few vulnerabilities, rat4, the main BlackCoin developer, started working on a solution.


In our previous BlackCoin article, we talked a little bit about the changes PoS 2.0 would bring to the table. As the whitepaper was released, you might want to read up on that as well. You can find our previous article here.


PoS 2.0 is the main focus of this mandatory BlackCoin client update, but some other things are addresses as well. For example, there were a few DoS vulnerabilities, which have now been patched. You can find a full list of changes here.
