MAZA v0.10.2

  • changes Mazacoin & MZC to MAZA
  • provides a clean rebase onto bitcoin upstream code
  • removes previous Zetacoin base

Important Upgrade note

Please take this time to backup your existing wallet.dat to a safe place

Those updating from older clients will need to remove the existing peers.dat file, see examples below

This release will change the default directory names from mazacoin to maza in all cases
Starting the new client will create a new directory. If you would like you can

  • move the blockchain data from your old directory to the new directory
  • move your wallet.dat from the old directory to the new directory

You may also move the directory prior to starting you new client:

  • Linux

    mv ~/.mazacoin ~/.maza
    rm ~/.maza/peers.dat
    mv ~/.maza/mazacoin.conf ~/.maza/maza.conf
    
  • OSX (macOS)

    mv ~/Library/Application\ Support\Mazacoin ~/Library/Application\ Support\Maza
    rm ~/Library/Application\ Support\Maza/peers.dat
    mv ~/Library/Application\ Support\Maza/mazacoin.conf ~/Library/Application\ Support\Maza/maza.conf
    
  • Windows (command prompt)

    xcopy  %APPDATA%\Mazacoin %APPDATA%\Maza\ /E
    del  %APPDATA%\Maza\peers.dat
    ren  %APPDATA%\Maza\mazacoin.conf   %APPDATA%\Maza\maza.conf
    

Binaries, SHA sums, gpg signatures will be made available on:

Mazacoin Web
MAZA on IPFS

IPFS links

see additional attached file for individual hashes
IPFS provides a blockchain like merkle tree based file system, which provides a more secure method of download than the mazacoin.org website.

The most secure method to acquire MAZA or MAZA-qt is to install IPFS on you own machine
as per instructions here
Once installed, init the repo as shown in IPFS docs
Then you can get the MAZA files you want. Get the MAZA_v0.10.2_release-IPFS-hashes (and .sig), verify the file with gpg, and for example, get the OSX downloads with .dmg and .tar.gz and GPG signatures:

/data/ipfs # ipfs get QmeFphaDUMjMhqih5w54g5mvqKzNMibPJJ8DNehhWtaVME/osx
