A few days ago we announced a fresh restart of our RSK Testnet. Having successfully completed the process of updating our nodes (at the moment of writing this post the Bridge contract is still being synced and so faucet is still not available), we’ve made a new Orchid release available. Please note this release is only mandatory for users running RSK nodes on Testnet

IMPORTANT: if you are updating from a prior RSK version (v0.5.1 or earlier), you need to delete the files located in your node’s database directory before starting your node (see database setting in your configuration file or look for content of default directory ${user.home}/.rsk/testnet/database).

Version 0.5.2 release’s sha256 sum is 33cc16404b7efb443a7625754f26477778601ed4a51c1930961fd3d934beee4c rskj-core-0.5.2-ORCHID-all.jar. See Reproducible Build guide for further details.

Please reach out with any feedback you would like to share with us, you can contact us directly on our Gitter community or directly through creating issues in our Github repository.

Thanks for your support!
