• wallet-v0.13.6-20260908 a78df4f6c7

    btcbob released this 2026-09-08 23:06:48 +00:00 | 121 commits to main since this release

    Windows x64 wallet built from main. Supersedes wallet-stratumfix2-20260908, which was built from the older d77cca98 and was missing everything below except the stratum fixes.

    The Overview page now shows chain vitals

    Block height, difficulty and network hash rate, in the left column between the Balances frame and the logo — so the wallet says what the chain is doing without opening the debug window. (754f406d, ported from (OFF)'s "The Deep".)

    Pool mining works

    The pool client had been screening its own candidate shares against a bar 65,536x stricter than the pool's, because it omitted the coin template's shareMultiplier. At stratum difficulty 2 it demanded 8.59e9 hashes per share — about 6.1 days at a typical desktop rate — so it hashed at full speed and submitted nothing, on any port. A source comment asserted the multiplier was 1; it is 65536. (45446a8c)

    Also fixed (2bcffa21): rejected shares were counted nowhere, so the UI read accepted 0 / rejected 0 regardless — and one rejected share overwrote the connection-status string, making the wallet report the pool as down. Reconnect did not clear the previous session's extranonce, difficulty or job. The reconnect backoff ladder never reset, because it tested a flag its own error path had already cleared.

    Verified against the live pool

    Two independent ways: the unpatched client behind a proxy dividing announced difficulty by 65536 (Share accepted: D=2), and the patched client with no proxy (Share accepted: D=28.442, 0 rejected). Both also exercise the header assembly, merkle folding and submit path, none of which had ever produced an accepted share before.

    Use

    Pool pool.dobbscoin.info:3033, user YOUR_BOB_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME. Expect two to three minutes of nothing after connecting while the pool walks your difficulty down, then shares. Port 3033 starts low; 3032 starts high for ASICs. Both settle in the same place.

    Build

    Cross-built from a78df4f6 on our own hardware — no GitHub Actions involved. Reports v0.13.6.0-a78df4f6.
