Move to https protocol

Subject: *.novaco.in RapidSSL Wildcard Order: 1……2 Complete

Dear A…,

Congratulations! RapidSSL has approved your request for a RapidSSL Wildcard certificate. Your certificate is included at the end of this email.

Today we are planning to move to https protocol on domain.

Some fixes

Some fixes were merged to resolve address book page and listtransactions issues (special thanks to svost for his investigation).

https://github.com/novacoin-project/novacoin/pull/9
https://github.com/novacoin-project/novacoin/pull/10

  • Qt: fix known addressbook bugs (duplicate addresses etc.);
  • Core: Avoid trying to parse outputs that aren’t relevant to CWalletTx::GetAmounts;
  • Core: Supress “address” key in transaction details, when the destination isn’t recognized;
  • Qt: copyrights update.

Windows nosetup builds:

0.4.4.6 update3: [ AMD64 | i686 ]
0.4.4.7 bugfix4: [ AMD64 | i686 ]

Linux, OS X builds and installers will be published later.

Protocol update: preconditions and prospects

A new proposal for Proof-of-Work signing protocol is currently under development. It would provide stakeholders an ability to vote for Proof-of-Work blocks they’ve received. What is interesting, it’s possible to implement without breaking a compatibility with nodes that doesn’t support this protocol.

A main idea is quite simple:

1. Proof-of-Work miner submits a new block over the network;
2. New block is accepted as a “candidate” (score = 1);
3. Each node builds a deterministic list of stake generators from the past (64 items, for example);
4. Stake holder appends own signature to vchBlockSig field (currently it’s not used) and then submits signed block over the network;
5. Once enough signatures collected (16 of 64, for example) new block is accepted into block chain as a “full value” block (score is equal with provided by the current proof-of-work score policy).

This process would be able to prevent malicious miner from creating a secretly pre-mined chain in order to perform 51%+ attack even if he has 99% of hashing power and significant stake volume. Because he can’t collect enough signatures while keeping his chain secret.
