Desktop Wallet Release + New Testnet (13/04/2021)

All,

We have just released a new version (v1.0.2) of the Symbol Desktop wallet, it contains fixes for the FAQs over delegated harvesting issues also the brand new Symbol Testnet.

Release: Release v1.0.2 · nemgrouplimited/symbol-desktop-wallet · GitHub

New delegated harvesting design

The main change in this new release is the delegated harvesting module is not allowing users to select their custom harvesting nodes. Previously, this functionality was restricted to only the peer list from the currently selected node. With the keys linking split from the main delegated harvesting module, advanced users or node operators can now use the wallet for purely key linking purposes. Also, instead of using high fees for delegated harvesting transactions, this release allows users to choose different transaction fee multipliers to control their expenses.

New Symbol Testnet

As part of the post-launch roadmap, we have reset all the Symbol testnet nodes with the same configurations from the main nodes. This wallet release also migrates the new testnet nodes (URL, configurations), which means your existing testnet accounts will be usable on the new testnet nodes, the balance on these accounts will be showing as 0 on the new nodes. If you would like to keep using these accounts, please use the new faucet to fund them again.
