Veil Core mandatory wallet update v1.4.0 is available now
This wallet enables the Veil ProgPoW mining graphics (GPU) memory size reduction in January, allowing people with cheaper graphic cards (GPUs) to mine Veil using the ProgPoW algorithm.
This release is MANDATORY due to the consensus change in the ProgPoW (Proof of Work) mining DAG size reduction allowing GPU miners with lower RAM sizes to mine.
The consensus change will take place at block 2,100,000, expected the 21st of January 2023. The installation deadline if you have not yet installed the previous v1.3.0.0 update is as soon as possible before block 2,000,000, expected about November 12th. The installation deadline for this wallet otherwise, is as soon as possible before January, specifically, block 2,100,000.
All exchanges, services, miners, stakers, and all other users must upgrade before block 2 million, (November) if v1.3.0.0 is not already installed, and before block 2.1 million is mined in January, otherwise.
Updating the wallet software is as simple as replacing the program files veild, veil-qt, veil-cli, …. There is no need to touch your data files. Normal data backup procedures apply. If necessary, please check our Veil support article for how to update your Veil wallet, or join our Discord!
