v2.2.0

Patch Notes

v2.2.0

• Electrum Server
  • Run your own electron server with Bitcoin Verde.
  • Enable bitcoin.indexBlocks = 1 in server.conf and start the node.
    (NOTE: Indexing may take a long time to complete and requires around 600GB of disk space.)
    Once indexing has completed (the status may be checked via the explorer), run the electrum module
    via the run-electrum.sh script.
    NOTE: Most electrum clients require an SSL certificate (self-signed certificates are supported).
    Self-signed SSL scripts may be generated via the ssl directory; the keyfile myst be converted via
    the pem2pkcs script and be configured within server.conf.

• Fixed an issue preventing the node from running on fresh installations of MacOS 11+.
