We have added full support for multisig to the Console. One can now create a multisig address & use it to sign and send a transaction verified by several signatures.
Transactions with multi-signatures can also be generated off-line:

Tendermint Security Update
At 2:00 p.m. UTC Thursday, the Tendermint developer team released an unscheduled update to resolve several issues in the operation of nodes. Prior to that, nodes—as well as validators—had been vulnerable to DoS attacks.
In less than 30 minutes, we rolled out a node update v1.1.7, which uses Tendermint’s latest release with all security fixes.
We highly recommend that all owners of Minter nodes update their software.

Minter: What Is Next?
Hi, everyone! It is Daniil Lashin here, the lead developer at Minter.
Voting on the Network’s New Functionality
The Team and Validators have prepared several significant changes aimed to improve the network.
The first round lasts until June 23 and offers to add an option to “archive” the coins, allowing brands to re-use a particular ticker. This would substantially facilitate the onboarding of new customers and widen the blockchain’s possibilities.
The owner of the coin—i.e., creator address—will be the one to archive it. The creator rights, however, will be transferable. Archived coins will not be deleted, nor will their reserve be emptied. They will just change their name.
The voting also suggests setting the maximum number of validators to 64. Validators with small stakes (less than 1% of voting power) do not affect the decision-making process and decentralization of the network, but they slow it down drastically being equal participants of the consensus. The introduction of this limit would allow for the avoidance of extra loads with no losses.
The Team will proceed to develop the solution if the proposal is supported by a two-thirds validator majority.

Minter 1.2
Minter 1.2: Main Changes
Minter Blockchain Important News
On October 19, 2020, the network successfully upgraded to version 1.2. Since then, over 450,000 blocks have been generated. No critical issues have been detected. Thank you to all developers and validators who quickly updated their services!
Some news:
1. Golang security fix
On November 12, the Go language developer team released a vital update that eliminated a couple of vulnerabilities. One of the changes fixed the processing of large numbers that was causing applications to crash: crypto/rsa.VerifyPSS, crypto/rsa.VerifyPKCS1v15, and crypto/dsa.Verify might panic when provided crafted public keys and signatures.
We have re-compiled the v1.2.0 release with the latest version of Go (v1.15.5) so developers and validators can update their nodes. We suggest that you run tests on non-critical services before updating the main ones.
2. 1.2.1 Update
After the nodes moved onto v1.2, we have noticed quick increase in disk space consumption. After investigating, it became evident the problem was with the storage developed by Tendermint. Member of our core team submitted a pull request that was merged shortly afterwards. This fix will be included with Minter Node v1.2.1. To reduce the size of the base, it will be necessary to sync the node from scratch.
Full list of improvements:
-
- Increasing disk space issue resolved
- Minor Console bugs fixed
- Auto-load of minter-mainnet-3 genesis
Release Candidate: https://github.com/MinterTeam/minter-go-node/releases/tag/v1.2.1-rc5
We suggest that you run tests on non-critical services before updating the main ones.
3. Problem with Coin Owners
All coins that had been created using the most recent instructions were assigned an owner in network v1.2. Due to an error in genesis, however, some coins with other parameters (but with 100% of supply on one address) didn’t get an owner. A total of 64 coins have been affected.
We’re aware of the issue and will resolve it in one of the upcoming updates. That will require a simultaneous update of all validators.
Plans:
1. Blockchain security audit. We’ve prepared the node’s code for audit and plan to send out applications to several companies that could run it.
2. 2.0 development. We’re working on Minter 2.0 architecture and functionality and will soon publish a detailed document with denoscription.
3. Minter HUB development. Minter HUB is a cross-chain bridge with smart contracts (between Minter and Ethereum in the first place). The solution is unique in that all operations are made in a single transaction, which can be signed both from within Minter (e.g., exchange of any custom coin for one of the numerous ERC-20 tokens) and Ethereum (e.g., buying BIP for USDT).
