Thank you guys !
As you already said, we have just released the v5.0.0 on our github repository.
This is a clearly the biggest upgrade Digitalcoin has ever known. This release use a new code base (Dash core), so this new version allow you to setup Masternodes. Awesome features will come soon like privacy, and autonomous governance using superblock. The masternode reward structure is 25%masternode/75%miners right now, slowly increasing to 50%/50% at the end of the year.
This version is currently under deployment on pools so reward will increase as more pools will adopt it.
Windows build is available, OSX will be added in the coming days, you can also find very easy instructions on the home page to build your wallet from sources on Ubuntu.
We also added a very easy way to setup a Masternode, if you have 10000DGC on your wallet, you can press the "setup masternode" button in the wallet, reboot your wallet, wait one confirmation and you can start your masternode using the "start" button. We tried to make this as easiest as possible !
So we hope you will like it !
Enjoy !
PROCEDURE FOR SETTING UP A MASTERNODE IN WINDOWS IF YOU ARE A WHALE (or not)
1) First, send 10,000 DGC to a specific address that you have created
File -> Receiving Addresses -> New
(name the address, Masternode5 for example-- you're a Whale for Pete's sake! You have 5 Masternodes!)
Next, of the 103284082349238 coins that you have, send ONLY 10,000 to the above address. Make sure that the "Subtract fee from amount" box is empty and not checkmarked.
2) THEN follow directions and press the button as described in the Quoted post above

Edit: I couldn't wait any longer and pressed the button. Got the error message
"Error with transaction: Transaction creation failed!"
after that another dialog box pops up and says
Error: Looks like you don't already have your 10000 DGC required to setup a Masternode..."
I have over 30K in one address, so this is obviously not correct.
=========================================================
What happens when you have multiples of 10K in the wallet?
I'd just like to know the procedure first before moving forward and pressing that Setup Masternode button. Easier to not break something than to go back and have to fix it. Are there any detailed instructions anywhere on setting up multiple MNs via the Windows QTwallet? (Besides Discord, which I do not use.) (Thanks for that link also!)
Edit: Just found this for those wanting to use an Ubuntu VPS.
