Improvements:

  • Export transactions history export to CSV file now include the info about BTC/USD exchange rate and the transaction type (regular, max privacy or offline)

Fixes:

  • Many under-the-hood bug fixes you don’t want to know about, as Beam “just works”

Known limitations:

  • When restoring your funds in automatic mode, verify that your most recent transaction (from any device) was completed at least 1 hour ago. Otherwise, your restored balance may be incorrect and an additional restore procedure will be required. When restoring your funds with your specific node, verify that the node is fully synchronized with the blockchain before starting the restore procedure. Otherwise, your restored balance may be incorrect and an additional restore procedure will be required.

Points to mention:

  • Thanks to the mobile node, when running two wallets that were initiated from the same seed phrase the balance will be always in sync. HOWEVER, the transaction history will not be synchronized among them (each wallet will see the correct balance but only its own transaction history). Therefore, when the balance is changed without any send or receive from the wallet - check the activity in any other wallet. No funds will be lost in any case.
