tonych has also made a couple of recent blog posts that are
well worth your time to read. You can get to them via the links below:
Making P2P Great AgainMaking P2P Great Again, Episode II: Bitcoin ExchangeOne such oracle is already running and allows to P2P exchange bytes (or blackbytes or any other Byteball currency) vs bitcoins.
The source code of the oracle is at
https://github.com/byteball/btc-oracle.
The possibilities offered by the payments bound to oracle-posted events are huge, independent developers are welcome to add their own oracles that enable other P2P services. See the above Medium article for some ideas.
Other updates in this release:
* Back button in Android now works correctly
* Chinese translation (partial)
* List of balances by addresses in settings (for those who like to look under the hood)
* After receiving a "message encrypted to unknown key" the undecipherable message is now deleted and the error does not pop up the next time
* Performance improvements
The first time you start the app after the upgrade, it may be slow to start as it creates new indexes for better performance.
Please upgrade. If you run a full client (GUI or headless), you'll have to upgrade because of a bug in code that was never visited before but the first time the new functionality is used will trigger the bug.
