The latest version of ELA Wallet - Version 1.4.2 - has just been released for iOS. Version 1.4.2 contains the following upgrades:

1. Added DID creation function, which can be used to add personal information;
2. Enabled CRCandidates to publish election-related information via their personal credentials;
3. Added support for binding a DID with a CR website account such that users can login to their CR accounts via QR code scan;
4. Optimized wallet startup speed and ID chain synchronization speed;
5. Added "node connection setting", which enables users to manually specify a node address for on-chain data synchronization.

Notes:

-For all CRC participants, it is strongly recommended to create a DID, and to add an avatar, personal profile, and other relevant information to provide further validity to your candidacy. To publish personal, election-related information, use the "Update DID Information" button.
-For registered CRCandidates, please bind the DID via the "Update DID Information" button or "Update Registration Information" button once you have created your DID. Otherwise, you will remain "inactive", rendering you unable to be elected as a CR Council member.
-As always, it is recommended to back up your wallet prior to upgrading to Version 1.4.2.

Important information regarding ELA Wallet:

When voting for CR Council members via the ELA wallet, please understand following points:

1. Please upgrade ELA Wallet to at least version 1.4.2 and wait for the latest block to be synchronized when opening the wallet.
2. You can vote for multiple candidates at the same time. After the vote is submitted successfully, please confirm whether there is a voting record in the wallet record before exiting the ELA Wallet.

Due to the continuous increase in computing power involved in the combined mining of both BTC and ELA, the CR Council voting block height cutoff is expected to arrive ahead of the originally scheduled time. The current estimate is that block 658930 will arrive around 5pm UTC on June 9th.

CR Council Elections end in approximately 24 hours at block height 658930! If you still have votes to cast, the race is extremely tight for the top 12 spots that will serve as our first ever democratically elected community leadership. Watch the countdown: elanodes.com and vote now!
