Installation notes

Dash Core v0.13.0.0 will automatically activate DIP002, DIP003 and DIP004 once 80% of the network has upgraded. Mining pools must mine an upgraded block and pay an upgraded masternode to successfully signal the upgrade in a block, and 80% of blocks in a window must signal in order to lock in the upgrade. Please confirm the status of network uptake before proceeding as the upgrade path differs slightly depending on on your timing.

• Activation status can be tracked in the image below or at this site.

• Masternode upgrade status can be tracked at Dash Ninja
• If you are updating to Dash Core v0.13.0.0 prior to this 80% threshold you should be able to simply shut down the daemon and replace it with the updated binary.
• If you are updating to Dash Core v0.13.0.0 after this 80% threshold is reached please note that you will need to re-index the chainstate using the “-reindex-chainstate” command.
