Pactus Blockchain Version 0.18.0 is now available for download. This release includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that is suitable for both beginners and experienced users. It also includes a command-line interface (CLI) for advanced users and wallet software that allows users to interact with the blockchain without the need to sync the entire blockchain.
This version has significantly improved the syncing progress. The syncing process concurrently requests blocks from 8 different peers and actively connects to the most optimal peers for downloading the blockchain.
Additionally, users can now import private keys into their wallet and securely encrypt them using their wallet password.
For Unix-based systems, please note that the working directory for root users has changed from /pactus to /root/pactus.
This version has been implemented for Testnet-2 and is being prepared for the upcoming Mainnet launch. To start using Pactus Blockchain Testnet-2, download the latest version from the download page and join the Testnet.
