HOTFIX Eager Electron 5.3.10410

Fixes

• Return ability to run Beam Wallet on old versions of Operation Systems

Known limitations:

• When using active laser beam channels the CLI wallet should not be offline for over 24 hours
• Once generated, do not offer the same offline address to multiple senders of payments

Points to mention:

• Upon using Atomic Swap with ETH, DAI, WBTC, USDT users will have to create an account on Infura
• Offline transaction and Max Privacy transaction fees are higher than Mimblewimble transactions and start from 0.01 BEAM per UTXO. The receiver pays their fee (per coin) when the coin is withdrawn from the shielded pool.
• The sender of funds to a receiver’s Public Offline Address might be able to know that those funds are later being used by the receiver. Beam wallet and Beam explorer do not expose such functionality but it's possible to derive this information by analyzing the Blockchain.

Eager Electron 5.1.9898

TL; DR Release Highlights:

• Offline transactions add the option to use offline addresses: no need to wait for the receiver to come online anymore!
• Atomic swap fees have significantly reduced
• Dozens of under-the-hood bug fixes you don’t want to know about, as Beam “just works”

Features:

• Enabled Offline transactions through the Lelantus MW protocol implemented at the last hard fork.
• For Offline transactions new “offline” addresses are supported: it includes all the necessary information for 10 payments so that a receiver doesn’t need to talk to the sender to create a transaction. Once the ten payments run out, the sender wallet will automatically request more payments from the receiver using SBBS. In case the Receiver is not online and not responding, the Sender wallet will show an indication that there are no more payments left and the user will request a new address using an external channel.
• Atomic swaps are significantly cheaper now due to SegWit support and a minimal fee rate is nicely recommended so that transactions will complete within a reasonable time
• Confirmation count is implemented for CLI wallet and in API to better align with exchanges

Improvements:

• Confidential Assets metadata is standardized. Read more here.

Fixes:

• CLI wallet: for AS with Electrum node - user can add any number of receiving and change addresses

Known limitations:

• When using active laser beam channels the CLI wallet should not be offline for over 24 hours
• Once generated, do not offer the same offline address to multiple senders of payments
• Offline transaction do not have payment proof (to be added in version 5.2)

Points to mention:

• Offline transaction fees are higher than Mimblewimble transactions and start from 0.01 BEAM per UTXO. The receiver pays his fee (per coin) when the coin is withdrawn from the shielded pool.
