Release v3.0.0

Highlighted Changes

• Non-interactive transactions (v1)
  • Send $EPIC just like any other coin!
  • This removes a point of friction for the exchanges.
  • No longer both parts of the transaction need to be online at the time transaction happens
• Improved security and scalability
  • Bug fixes and enhanced testing
  • Checks for bad hashes
• More privacy
  • Better Tor support
  • From an end-user perspective, there should no longer be a need to configure routers and firewalls to receive. Sending and receiving should feel like any other cryptocurrency, where a simple encoded address is all you need to share before receiving. No firewall or router configuration should be necessary.
• Payment proofs
  • Enable external auditability of transactions
• Automatic Port Opening
  • No need to manually configure router ports or use ngrok
