Excellent work, the new UI looks good.

"voting system more secure"

Does this mean the voting is fixed? If so we should redo the Enigma whitelist poll.

Thanks for the update!
Unfortunately the link for the MSI installer points still to the old version...

I just got report that the msi was the new version 3.5.9.0 for someone else

please retry (in case still same issue: you could deinstall 3.5.8.9 or which version you have and install the new msi)

It's also a good opportunity now to make a !backup

The terms above starting with ! are commands which the fediverse-bot accepts and provides further info on
(see point I. here )

Sorry for the circumstances.

Before this update the wallet used between 10% and 30% of my CPU (i5-3230m). Now it floats between 0.5% and 3%. Crazy good improvement. No reason not to stake 24/7 now. By the way, I had to uninstall 3.5.8.9 and then install the new version to get it to work.
