📡 elastOS 1.2.0 for Android has been released on Google Play.

All of your locally stored elastOS data will be lost, for example, if you have notes in ElaNotes, it's a good time to make a backup first. You will have to create a DID or import yours when you first sign in to elastOS 1.2.0.

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.
3. Each new vote will cover the previous vote record.
4. If the voting fails or there is an error message, you can try to conduct DPoS voting again. After the DPoS voting is confirmed, then you can switch to the CR Council voting.

This edition of the Bi-Weekly Update contains updates from Trinity Tech on elastOS, from the Blockchain Team on supernodes and the CR Council Election (ending June 10th), and continued progress from Tuum Tech and more.

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!
