eXperience Points Core version 5.2.0.2 is now available from:
https://github.com/experience-points-development/eXperience-Points/releaseseXperience Points 5.2 is finally here! Kid tested and mother approved, its a whole new set of desktop native wallets for Linux, Windows, and MacOS made just for you.
Packed inside this powerful update are enough features to overwhelm even the heartiest of crypto-enthusiasts. This update introduces cold staking (delegated Proof of Stake) which allows a coin holder to stake their coins with a third party while retaining the private keys to those coins. It also introduces privacy in the form of zk-SNARK Shielded transactions which allows for pretty much every aspect of coin transfers to be conducted completely in private. There's an entirely fresh, modern interface that brings the wallet out of the QT dark ages, HD-enabled wallet support, greatly reduced resource demands for hardware running the core, and a host of fixes for bugs and other issues. If you really want to have tl;dr fun, it's literally everything in these PIVX releases:

We expect to hit this block sometime around Saturday, October 2, 2021. The new wallets are compatible with the chain prior to the fork and can be used to conduct staking, masternode, and all other coin operations before the fork block, meaning that you can upgrade as soon as the new wallets are released. You don't have to wait for the fork block to upgrade. This is also a protocol change, so all masternodes will need to be restarted if they are to remain on the network after the fork block. Before the fork and for up to a week after the fork, cold staking and privacy will be turned off via spork control. Once the network has cleared the chain upgrade and stabilized, we will turn on cold staking and privacy. A non-mandatory wallet update (5.2.0.3) will also be released at that time.
We expect there to a be a learning curve with this new wallet, especially with the introduction of cold staking and privacy. If you have questions, ask and we will do our best to help.
