PyBLØCK

PyBLØCK ᛒ Android 1.2 (124) is out

• Private messages: forward secrecy (Double Ratchet) you can turn on per contact — a stolen key can't open past messages. • Edit your messages for an hour, voice notes, disappearing messages, offline translation and private link previews. • Group Send and Collaborative Send are now off by default; turn them on in Settings → Wallet. • Chain-only mode checks every peer transaction's signatures before showing it. • "Show my plan to others" (name colour, Whale aura) is now opt-in, in Settings → Chat.

Laguz Umbrel 0.1.8 is out

• First start on a node that is still syncing: Laguz now waits for your node to reach block 961640 (the first BLAKE2b block) and tells you how far it is, instead of failing with "no route to host". • Lightning node updated to lnd 0.21.4-beta-blake2b.21.

PATUM Plumb Umbrel 29.4.2.knots20260508.plumb7 is out

• Plumb 7 (v29.4.2.knots20260508.plumb7), built by PyBLOCK from the signed tag: -rejectfakeoutputs no longer counts change back to an address the transaction spends from (knots#389 as of 2026-10-13). • This app keeps OP_RETURN data off (-datacarrier=0), so the new 42-byte -datacarriersize default does not change it. • Plumb 6 stays available in the app settings.

Laguz Umbrel 0.1.7 is out

• Fixes 0.1.6: Laguz is tied to PATUM Node again, so existing installs keep their node after the update. • To run it on PATUM Plumb instead, install PATUM Plumb first and pick it when installing Laguz.

PATUM Plumb Umbrel 29.4.2.knots20260508.plumb6-1 is out

pyblockMiner 0.2.40 is out

• Mainnet mining is gateway-only. • Since block 977,350 PyBLØCK's public SV1 stratums (CAROUSEL :30110, CHIRP :5574, the WAVICLES house stratum :23114/:23115, old LOTTO :4445) keep 77% of what they would pay you. • Mine through a DATUM gateway of your own: PATUM (https://b.pyblock.xyz:8443/patum.php), Umbrel or StartOS. • New installs start on WAVICLES · your gateway / CHIRP-PRIME · your gateway: STRATUMS → Enter → your gateway's host:port. • An entry you already have is kept, so a running rig keeps mining, but it is renamed retired and the header shows ⚠ PUBLIC STRATUM · 77% PENALTY plus an alert when you connect there.

PyBLØCK ᛒ iOS 1.2 (141) is out
