Dear X-CASH community,
Today we are announcing the rebase of the core code to Monero 12.3. This upgrade is mandatory as it will prepare the X-CASH network to implement bulletproof and later on public transactions.
Please note that this is a mandatory upgrade whether you are using the GUI or CLI wallet. Check our download page to download the latest version, and do not forget to read the bottom section of this article for instructions on how to upgrade.

Bulletproof & public transactions
The next update planned for October 1, 2018 will bring bulletproof transaction to the X-CASH network. The bulletproof protocol enables a transaction size reduction to up to 80%. This translates directly into lower transaction fees and lighter blockchain file size.
We have also been working on the implementation of public transactions in the X-CASH network. Soon you will have the choice between private and public transactions. When public mode is selected, your transaction will be visible in the blockchain.
This feature is still in the test phase but as you can see from our testnet network the first implementation enabled a consequent size reduction (a single output transaction is currently around 12kb in our blockchain).
