Emerald update progress report
The first of two planned progress reports
Crown v0.14 “Emerald” was released four days ago and the community is making good progress upgrading nodes and wallets.
As of 13:12 UTC on 13 March 2020 the upgraded and total node counts are:
- Masternodes: 261 upgraded of 979 total
- Systemnodes: 405 ** upgraded of 1027 total
which is fractionally over 33% upgraded. **
Remember that you must update your nodes and wallets before 06:00 on 24 March. The NFT framework is scheduled to activate four hours later at 10:00 on 24 March.
Updating nodes and wallets is a very simple task, one which you could do this weekend in less than ten minutes.
Linux users
For each linux node or wallet it’s a simple copy and paste of a one line command:
sudo curl -s https://gitlab.crownplatform.com/crown/crown-core/raw/master/scripts/crown-server-install.sh | bash -s
This will download the update/installation script and run it. The script will download the update, shutdown the wallet or node, unpack the update over the old version and restart the wallet or node.
Windows and Mac users
The process is a manual one but still very simple; you just have to replicate the actions of the linux upgrade script.
- Download the Windows 64-bit or MacOS or MacOS DMG update.
- Shutdown the wallet.
- Open the downloaded update. This will unzip it into a directory in your downloads folder. Navigate to the Crown-v0.14.0.0-Emerald\bin folder.
- Copy the executables over the old ones.
- Restart the wallet.
In which order should I do things?
We recommend updating your wallet before updating any nodes. After updating any nodes you need to issue a new start command from the controlling wallet.
