Milestones

LBTC completed the development of the SGS (Spark Governance System).
After the SGS integration, the first proposal has been successfully passed and implemented on LBTC chain. The proposal suggested: [Remove the block high data before the fork, and forbid claiming the remaining LBTC by bitcoin holders]. At present, LBTC has completed the upgrade according to the content of the proposal. On October 11, 2018, LBTC officially entered a new era!

SGS launch;
LBTC main network upgrade according to the passed motion;
Update the Full-node wallet and Light wallet to the latest versions v2.0.0 and v0.1.0.;
Upgrade of the mobile wallet wallet.

Full-node wallet

Single address mode:
One wallet corresponding to one address, and only one address of the coin can be used for each transaction. Before update one wallet was corresponding multi-address mode. After the update, the operation page of the wallet client is more concise, efficient, and more user-friendly.

The forging node algorithm is updated. Under the new algorithm, the order of forging nodes is more random, what is further reducing the risk of human manipulation.
