Electrum-XRC for Bitcoin Rhodium released

The Bitcoin Rhodium development team wishes to announce a new version of their Electrum port to Bitcoin Rhodium, now called Electrum-XRC. Electrum-XRC (formerly Electrum-BTR) is based on Electrum 3.3.6. There are a few new features related to our port:

1. Trezor T now supports XRC. Thus, the Trezor plugin has been activated for this release. The process for setting up a Trezor T with Electrum-XRC is similar to Electrum, as described in this blog post by Trezor: https://blog.trezor.io/using-trezor-with-electrum-v3-a0b9bcffe26e. Most people use Standard (“R” addresses) for their wallets, which Trezor would describe as a legacy account. The “derivation path” that would show up is: m/44'/10291'/0'. Unless you understand derivation paths, it is not necessary to change it.
2. For web wallet restoration, the “first address” is now optional. It is a useful convenience now to check if the seed and transaction password is correct, however, you can continue to create a wallet without the first address.
3. Branding was fixed. We use XRC instead of BTR and “Bitcoin Rhodium” instead of “BitCoin Rhodium”. The default data directory that is used in the old version is called “.electrum-btr_data”. While we want to properly change the default to “.electrum-xrc_data”, we support the old naming for existing setups.
4. There are some minor fixes.
5. for coins that are new, getting balance information should be quicker with the updated checkpoints file.
6. Linux AppImage build will be coming at a later time.
