Raw Blame History

Dash Core version 0.13.0.0

Release is now available from:

https://www.dash.org/downloads/#wallets

This is a new major version release, bringing new features, various bugfixes and other improvements.

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:

https://github.com/dashpay/dash/issues

Upgrading and downgrading

How to Upgrade

If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or dashd/dash-qt (on Linux). If you upgrade after DIP0003 activation you will have to reindex (start with -reindex-chainstate or -reindex) to make sure your wallet has all the new data synced.

Downgrade warning

Downgrade to a version < 0.13.0.0

Downgrading to a version smaller than 0.13 is only supported as long as DIP2/DIP3 has not been activated. Activation will happen when enough miners signal compatibility through a BIP9 (bit 3) deployment.

Notable changes

DIP0002 - Special Transactions

Currently, new features and consensus mechanisms have to be implemented on top of the restrictions imposed by the simple nature of transactions. Since classical transactions can only carry inputs and outputs, they are most useful for financial transactions (i.e. transfers of quantities of Dash between addresses on the distributed ledger). These inputs and outputs carry scripts and signatures which are used to authorize and validate the transaction.

To implement new on-chain features and consensus mechanisms which do not fit into this concept of financial transactions, it is often necessary to misuse the inputs/outputs and their corresponding scripts to add additional data and meaning to a transaction. For example, new opcodes would have to be introduced to mark a transaction as something special and add a payload. In other cases, OP_RETURN has been misused to store data on-chain.

The introduction of special transactions will require the whole Dash ecosystem to perform a one-time mandatory update of all the software and libraries involved. Software and libraries will have to be changed so that they can differentiate between classical transactions and special transactions. Deserialization of a classical transaction remains unchanged. Deserialization of a special transaction requires the software/library to at least implement skipping and ignoring the extra_payload field. Validation and processing of the inputs and outputs of a special transaction must remain identical to classical transactions.

DIP0003 - Deterministic Masternode Lists

This DIP provides on-chain consensus for masternode lists that in turn allow for deterministic quorum derivation and service scoring of masternode rewards.

In the previous system, each node maintained its own individual masternode list. Masternodes gained entry to that masternode list after the owner created a 1000 Dash UTXO and the masternode broadcast a "masternode broadcast/announcement" P2P message. This in turn set the masternode to a PRE_ENABLED state in the list maintained by each node. Masternodes then regularly broadcasted ping messages to keep the masternode in ENABLED state.

The previous system was maintained with consensus mechanisms that predated Satoshi Nakamoto’s solution to the Byzantine Generals Problem. This meant that each node needed to maintain their own individual masternode list with P2P messages and not a blockchain based solution. Due to the nature of the P2P system, there was no guarantee that nodes would come to the same conclusion on what the masternode list ought to look like. Discrepancies might, for example, occur due to a different order of message reception or if messages had not been received at all. This posed some risks in regard to consensus and limited the possible uses of quorums by the system.

Additionally, the previous system required a complicated and failure prone "masternode sync" after the initial startup of the node. After the blockchain was synced, the node would request the current masternode list, the reward payment votes, and then verify the received list. This process tended to take an unnecessarily long amount of time and sometimes resulted in failure.

In the new system, the masternode list is derived entirely from information found on-chain. New masternodes are added by new special transactions called Provider Registration Transactions (abbreviated as ProRegTx). They are only removed by spending the collateral. A ProRegTx is a special transaction which includes either a 1000-Dash collateral payment or a reference to it, along with other payload information (DIP0002).

The new system is going to be activated via combination of a BIP9-like deployment (bit 3) and new spork (SPORK_15_DETERMINISTIC_MNS_ENABLED).

DIP0004 - Simplified Verification of Deterministic Masternode Lists

A verifiable and correct masternode list is foundational to many Dash features, including verification of an InstantSend transaction, mixing in PrivateSend and many features of Evolution. The deterministic masternode lists introduced by DIP0003 enable full derivation and verification of a masternode list via on-chain data. This, however, requires the full chain to be available to construct or verify this list. A SPV client does not have the full chain and thus would have to rely on a list provided by one or more nodes in the network. This provided list must be verifiable by the SPV client without needing the full chain. This DIP proposes additions to the block’s coinbase transaction and new P2P messages to get and update a masternode list with additional proof data.

Mining

Please note that masternode payments in getblocktemplate rpc are now returned as an array and not as a single object anymore. Make sure to apply corresponding changes to your pool software.

Also, deterministic masternodes can now set their payout address to a P2SH address. The most common use case for P2SH is multisig but script can be pretty much anything. If your pool software doesn't recognize P2SH addresses, the simplest way to fix it is to use script field which shows scriptPubKey for each entry of masternode payments array in getblocktemplate.

And finally, after DIP0003 activation your pool software must be able to produce Coinbase Special Transaction https://github.com/dashpay/dips/blob/master/dip-0004.md#coinbase-special-transaction. Use coinbase_payload from getblocktemplate to get extra payload needed to construct this transaction.

PrivateSend

With further refactoring of PrivateSend code it became possible to implement mixing in few parallel mixing sessions at once from one single wallet. You can set number of mixing sessions via privatesendsessions cmd-line option or dash.conf. You can pick any number of sessions between 1 and 10, default is 4 which should be good enough for most users. For this feature to work you should also make sure that privatesendmultisession is set to 1 via cmd-line or Enable PrivateSend multi-session is enabled in GUI.

Introducing parallel mixing sessions should speed mixing up which makes it reasonable to add a new mixing denom (0.00100001 DASH) now while keeping all the old ones too. It also makes sense to allow more mixing rounds now, so the new default number of rounds is 4 and the maximum number of rounds is 16 now.

You can also adjust rounds and amount via setprivatesendrounds and setprivatesendamount RPC commands which override corresponding cmd-line params (privatesendrounds and privatesendamount respectively).

NOTE: Introducing the new denom and a couple of other changes made it incompatible with mixing on masternodes running on pre-0.13 software. Please keep using 0.12.3 local wallet to mix your coins until there is some significant number of masternodes running on version 0.13 to make sure you have enough masternodes to choose from when the wallet picks one to mix funds on.

InstantSend

With further improvements of networking code it's now possible to handle more load, so we are changing InstantSend to be always-on for so called "simple txes" - transactions with 4 or less inputs. Such transactions will be automatically locked even if they only pay minimal fee. According to stats, this means that up to 90% of currently observed transactions will became automatically locked via InstantSend with no additional cost to end users or any additional effort from wallet developers or other service providers.

This feature is going to be activated via combination of a BIP9-like deployment (we are reusing bit 3) and new spork (SPORK_16_INSTANTSEND_AUTOLOCKS).

Historically, InstantSend transactions were shown in GUI and RPC with more confirmations than regular ones, which caused quite a bit of confusion. This will no longer be the case, instead we are going to show real blockchain confirmations only and a separate indicator to show if transaction was locked via InstantSend or not. For GUI it's color highlight and a new column, for RPC commands - instantlock field and addlocked param.

One of the issues with InstantSend adoption by SPV wallets (besides lack of Deterministic Masternode List) was inability to filter all InstantSend messages the same way transactions are filtered. This should be fixed now and SPV wallets should only get lock votes for transactions they are interested in.

Another popular request was to preserve information about InstantSend locks between wallet restarts, which is now implemented. This data is stored in a new cache file instantsend.dat. You can safely remove it, if you don't need information about recent transaction locks for some reason (NOTE: make sure it's not one of your wallets!).

We also added new ZMQ notifications for double-spend attempts which try to override transactions locked via InstantSend - zmqpubrawinstantsenddoublespend and zmqpubhashinstantsenddoublespend.

Sporks

There are a couple of new sporks introduced in this version SPORK_15_DETERMINISTIC_MNS_ENABLED (block based) and SPORK_16_INSTANTSEND_AUTOLOCKS (timestamp based). There is aslo SPORK_17_QUORUM_DKG_ENABLED (timestamp based) which is going to be used on testnet only for now.

Spork data is stored in a new cache file (sporks.dat) now.

Governance

Introduction of Deterministic Masternodes requires replacing of the old masternode private key which was used both for operating a MN and for voting on proposals with a set of separate keys, preferably fresh new ones. This means that votes casted for proposals by Masternode Owners via the old system will no longer be valid after DIP0003 activation and must be re-casted using the new voting key.

Also, you can now get notifications about governance objects or votes via new ZMQ notifications: zmqpubhashgovernancevote, zmqpubhashgovernanceobject, zmqpubrawgovernancevote and zmqpubhashgovernanceobject.

GUI changes

Masternodes tab has a new section dedicated to DIP0003 registered masternodes now. After DIP0003 activation this will be the only section shown here, the two old sections for non-deterministic masternodes will no longer be available.

There are changes in the way InstantSend transactions are displayed, see InstantSend section above.

Some other (mostly minor) issues were also fixed, see GUI part of 0.13.0.0 Change log section below for detailed list of fixes.

RPC changes

There are a few changes in existing RPC interfaces in this release:

  • gobject prepare allows to send proposal transaction as an InstantSend one and also accepts an UTXO reference to spend;
  • masternode status and masternode list show some DIP0003 related info now;
  • previousbits and coinbase_payload fields were added in getblocktemplate;
  • getblocktemplate now returns an array for masternode payments instead of a single object (miners and mining pools have to upgrade their software to support multiple masternode payees);
  • masternode and superblock payments in getblocktemplate show payee scriptPubKey in script field in addition to payee address in payee;
  • getblockchaininfo shows BIP9 deployment progress;
  • help command subCommand should give detailed help for subcommands e.g. help protx list;
  • compressed option in masternode genkey;
  • dumpwallet shows info about dumped wallet and warns user about security issues;
  • instantlock field added in output of getrawmempool, getmempoolancestors, getmempooldescendants, getmempoolentry, getrawtransaction, decoderawtransaction, gettransaction, listtransactions, listsinceblock;
  • addlocked param added to getreceivedbyaddress, getreceivedbyaccount, getbalance, sendfrom, sendmany, listreceivedbyaddress, listreceivedbyaccount, listaccounts.

There are also new RPC commands:

  • protx (list, info, diff, register, register_fund, register_prepare, register_submit, update_service, update_registrar, revoke);
  • bls generate;
  • setprivatesendrounds;
  • setprivatesendamount.

See help command in rpc for more info.

Command-line options

New cmd-line options:

  • masternodeblsprivkey;
  • minsporkkeys;
  • privatesendsessions;
  • zmqpubrawinstantsenddoublespend;
  • zmqpubhashinstantsenddoublespend;
  • zmqpubhashgovernancevote;
  • zmqpubhashgovernanceobject;
  • zmqpubrawgovernancevote;
  • zmqpubhashgovernanceobject.

Some of them are Devnet only:

  • budgetparams;
  • minimumdifficultyblocks;
  • highsubsidyblocks;
  • highsubsidyfactor.

Few cmd-line options are no longer supported:

  • instantsenddepth;
  • mempoolreplacement.

See Help -> Command-line options in Qt wallet or dashd --help for more info.
