As the week ends, let's take a moment to look back at what we've achieved in the past few days and see what we've got to look forward to in the week to come.
BasicSwap 📈
This week has been a continuation of the work we've mentioned in last week's update, though we've got exciting and exclusive news to share.
Bitcoin Cash Integration Update 💸
As announced earlier today on X by mainnet_pat, one of the main contributors to the BCH <> XMR atomic swap protocol, the integration of Bitcoin Cash on BasicSwap DEX has been extensively tested on mainnet and is now ready for release.
We have thus merged a substantial series of commits to the dev branch (more specifically, commits dated today November 15th), enabling users to test the Bitcoin Cash integration on mainnet. We anticipate bringing this integration to the master branch during our next dev -> master merge.
basicswapWe extend our sincere gratitude to mainnet_pat for his exceptional work on this integration. This valuable community contribution strengthens BasicSwap's decentralized approach and represents another significant step toward achieving our mission.
BasicSwap Codebase Improvements ✅
Along with today's large array of commits that have been added to the dev branch, we've included a number of general codebase improvements and code clean-ups.
Notably, we've resolved an issue with Monero wallets which should resolve a long-standing issue that made BasicSwap become slower the longer you had been running your instance. This fix is a combination of BasicSwap improvements and accompanying fixes that have been published as pull requests to Monero earlier today (1, 2).
Other updates, committed on November 15th, include:
- Large code formatting update, including tests (1, 2)
- Allow setting reserve below increment for market making script (1)
- basicswap-prepare: don't start daemon if coin config exists in basicswap.json (1)
- Bypass Tor for .local domains (1)
- Fix error when txid is unknown (1)
- Fix unbound error when no wallet data is cached (1)
- Adjust wallet name for Particl anon and blind interfaces (1)
- Add display_name to chainparams (1)
BasicSwap Windows Installer 🧙♂️
While we have completed the majority of work on the new Windows installer as reported last week, we've chosen to focus this week's front-end efforts on BasicSwap GUI updates. These updates will begin rolling out to the dev branch in greater numbers over the next few days.
The installer release remains imminent. However, we want to clarify that this installer is simply a tool to facilitate building BasicSwap DEX from source on Windows. For Windows users, we continue to recommend using the Docker version, which remains our only officially supported Windows implementation. We do not recommend running BasicSwap directly on Windows.
