Weekly Nano Update: 9/24/18

v16.1 Update, Community in Action, iOS Testflight Reopening

v16.1 Update

The developers have been working around the clock since the syncing issues on v16.0 were first reported. As noted last week, a majority of users who had upgraded to v16.0 have since reverted to v15.2 as it has shown to be more stable.

V16.1 is currently in its final stages of testing and debugging. Data gathered from users who are currently testing v16.1 on the mainnet and betanet has shown the updated version staying in sync, however, a bug was discovered causing nodes to temporarily lose their peer count. The developers are continuing to work to fix this issue tonight and hope to have the official release ready to launch tomorrow.

As always, I’d like to give a big thank you to everyone helping us with testing and reporting issues.

Community in Action

It’s been a big week for community projects and I just wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the recent developments.

We’ve recently seen the release of not one, but two new mobile wallets. Nanollet, created by user Inkeliz, advertises itself as the first decentralized Nano wallet and does not use a centralized server. Also, coming fresh out of the jungle, the team over at Banano (congrats on the exchange listing guys!) have released the beta version of Natrium, an Android wallet.

Additionally, nanocrawler.cc has recently implemented localization, allowing users around the world access to an easy to use block explorer, a fundamental part of any cryptocurrency. If you are able to assist with any additional translations, please reach out to Ryan/@meltingice on Twitter or Discord.

The developments happening within the community truly make this project special. Please join me in thanking everyone who is working to make Nano successful.

iOS Test Flight Reopening

We’ve seen a few reports of users for whom the TestFlight build expired and hadn’t updated to the App Store version, leaving them unable to access their wallet. During the second week of October, Zack Shapiro will issue a small update that allows any remaining TestFlight users to copy their seed and encourages them to use the live version of the app as the beta is no longer supported.

For those of you who haven’t made a copy of your seed and stored it safely, do that right now.
