GINcoin Budget Blocks on Testnet

On Monday, it was announced that the GIN testnet had been updated with the superblock functionality for the GIN Foundation and Freighter Fleet budget allocations. First superblock was scheduled at block 32350 on testnet.

All testnet node runners were required to update the node by compiling the latest master (no binaries are released). No action was required from mainnet node runners.

The superblocks started successfully on Testnet, so the work continued on the Mainnet superblock support to be released along with the Komodo notaries update.
