latest major version ({latestVersion}). This is available at
the Bitcoin ABC{' '}

<b>Staking Rewards</b>
<p>
A block policy is added that 10% of the block reward is
allocated as a staking reward. There is one recipient in
each block, chosen from the avalanche quorum. The reward is
sent to the Proof `payoutAddress` field, chosen
deterministically from the quorum based on the previous
block hash, with probability weighted by the Proof&apos;s
stake amount.
</p>
<p>
eCash miners must ensure that their mining setup is properly
configured to add the staking rewards to the coinbase
outputs. The payout address and amount are available via the
`getblocktemplate` RPC.
</p>
<b>Miner fund increase</b>
<p>
The miner fund, part of the block reward that is funding
eCash network development, was increased from 8% of the
block reward to 32%.
</p>
<p>
eCash miners must ensure that their mining setup is properly
configured to use the proper miner fund amount. This
information is available via the `getblocktemplate` RPC.
</p>
<H3 text="Do I need to upgrade my wallet?" id="wallet" />
<p>
The network upgrade only affects full nodes. Other eCash
software, including wallets such as{' '}

are not affected by the network upgrade.
</p>
<H3 text="How do I upgrade?" id="instructions" />
<p>
The process of upgrading your node is straightforward:
simply stop the currently running node, download the new
version, and start the new version. Here are some example
instructions for upgrading from version 0.27.15 to version{' '}
{latestVersion} on Linux:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
Shut down the node:
<br />
<code>./bitcoin-abc-0.27.15/bin/bitcoin-cli stop</code>
</li>
<li>
Download the new version archive from the website:{' '}
<br />
<code>
wget https://download.bitcoinabc.org/{latestVersion}
/linux/bitcoin-abc-{latestVersion}
-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
</code>
</li>
<li>
Extract the archive:
<br />
<code>
tar xzf bitcoin-abc-{latestVersion}
-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
</code>
</li>
<li>
Restart the node with the new version:
<br />
<code>
./bitcoin-abc-{latestVersion}/bin/bitcoind -daemon
</code>
</li>
<li>
Clean up old version and archives (optional):
<ul>
<li>
<code>rm -rf bitcoin-abc-0.27.15</code>
</li>
<li>
<code>
rm -f
bitcoin-abc-0.27.15-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
</code>
</li>
<li>
<code>
rm -f bitcoin-abc-{latestVersion}
-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz
</code>
</li>
</ul>
