We are pleased to announce SmartCash Core v1.2.4. While this update is not mandatory for users who run v1.2.3, it is recommended that all users upgrade and run the latest version.
This release includes improvements to the SmartNode Management UI which makes the setup process within the Desktop Node Client a lot easier and more user friendly as well as the Integration of the SmartHive Proposal Voting.
What’s New
The whole Changelog can be found on GitHub here: Release Notes.
SmartNode Management Improvements
It’s now possible to create a SmartNode without editing the local smartnode.conf file. Navigate to the SmartNodes tab within the Node Client and click on My SmartNodes, there you will now find the Button: Create SmartNode.
Clicking on the button looks like this →
Once you have sent a collateral transaction with exactly 10,000 SmartCash, it will be able to be selected.
You only need to give your SmartNode an Alias, insert the IP address from the VPS and click on Apply to automatically add a new line to your smartnode.conf file.
A full and detailed guide on “How to Set Up a SmartNode”, including this new feature, can be found here: SmartNode Set Up Guide v1.2.4.
SmartHive Proposal Voting Integration
With this Update you will now find a dedicated SmartVote tab:
There you will find a list of all Proposals that are currently open to vote and your Voting Power (equal to the amount of SmartCash within your wallet). You can either use your whole amount or select individual addresses to vote on a specific proposal.
You will find a short overview of every proposal including the requested funds in SMART and USD, the Voting deadline, a link to the whole proposal, your current Voting status and the current status of the Voting itself.
Once you have selected one or more proposals you want to vote for, you just need to click on the Voting Button below to cast your Vote. A window will pop up and after several seconds you will see that you successfully voted with the selected amount of SmartCash.
