We have been pushing to get the alpha release out as fast as possible, whilst maintaining a high quality level of coding. I am happy to announce that Vault 3.0 is now available for alpha testing! This new codebase Vault 3.0 software is a major step in our roadmap, but it does not yet have the BPN (masternode) capability. We are still working hard on our unique mutex approach for CBX masternodes and will have a better idea regarding timing of this development next week.
This public alpha release gives users an opportunity to experiment with the new software and receive feedback from the Bullion community. So if you do find any issues, bugs or have other concerns please do get in contact with us. We highly value and appreciate every single piece of constructive feedback from the community and strive to take every opinion into consideration. You may occasionally find references to non-implemented features in the software, we will correct this as we go.
It is extremely important to be aware that the Bullion devs have been internally testing this new software for the past two weeks and have not encountered any major issues that could lead to loss of any CBX coins. One dev tested with 500 CBX and had no issues, but we still caution against doing so with your entire stash of CBX just yet! However, before you update to the new installation please make sure to backup your wallet.dat! If you are unsure how to backup your wallet.dat file correctly, please join our Telegram group (link at bottom of post) and ask an admin for further information.

One major thing we have to warn people about this new codebase is that the new Vault is now able to sync organically, which no Vault has been able to do for some time now; syncing organically takes some time however, so this new Vault has an auto-bootstrap feature to speed up this process. The auto-bootstrap feature still has issues with Windows: we are aware of this problem and will be fixed shortly. Since we still have to apply a bootstrap manually if you don't want to sync organically, here is the link to current updated bootstrap:

Also, this being an entirely new codebase, the RAM leak issue Vault 2.4.3 had should be fixed and new codebase should be able to maintain its usage of memory around a stable 1.2 to 1.3 gigs while staking; we would love to hear your experience with this too.
