Community Update – RPC Server – Remote Node

We are excited to update the community on the recent additions and improvements to the MoneroV project. Be sure to get updated and check out the community & ambassador program, join the discussion on Telegram and follow us on Twitter.

The team and community are looking forward to expanding the adoption of XMV as a privacy cryptocurrency and blockchain project. You can take part by suggesting improvements, mining, spreading the word or by implementing the MonerovWP plugin on your website.

Core RPC Server Update

The core RPC server was updated to cache the vast majority of calls for long-running wallets. This is a significant performance improvement to the RPC server and we advise third-party services to update their MoneroV Daemon.

MoneroV Daemon Upgrade

The daemon config reading was causing several bugs and delays running the daemon. The MoneroV daemon was upgraded to properly read the configuration file prior to initializing other dependencies. This solves the bug users have reported of the daemon exiting unintentionally on Windows-based machines. We strongly advise service who use Windows-based servers to update their node.

Remote Node Attack

In the past several days we detected attacks on the public remote MoneroV node. The DDOS attack comprises of garbage requests to the open public port at remote.monerov.org and several other attack vectors that we are actively mitigating against.

While the service is working slowly, we kindly request users who use the remote node to be patient while we work on getting the service back to speed. We will issue an update when the service is fully operational and at this moment we advise users to use the local node instead.

Additional updates:

Missing perf timer for get_output_distribution fixed
Transaction date with timestamp in show_transfers added
