The New Tari Testnet is Here 👀
Say Hello to Stibbons Testnet 👋
ICYMI last week Tari contributors reset the Tari testnet, bidding adieu to Ridcully and welcoming in Stibbons testnet. Stibbons testnet is the third testnet implementation and the culmination of everything the Tari community learned over the past 10 months since testnet launch. Stibbons makes significant progress with SHA3 standalone mining, key updates to the console wallet, and improved network stability.
Version 0.8.1 of the Tari base node was released this week and is now available for download. It’s recommended that all users completely remove their old testnet nodes and start fresh.
Keep up to date with the latest updates on the Tari telegram and the updates page.
Base Node v0.8.1 Release
Tari contributors have released a new update in the latest version of the Tari base node (v0.8.1), and it’s available for download now.
