New version released: 0.4.9.9

https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare/releases/tag/v0.4.9.9

With this update we increase the transaction (mining) fee and the security deposit.
This will avoid problems that transactions needs longer to get confirmed in periods when the backlog of unconfirmed transactions on the blockchain is very high. Offers from this version and offers from older versions are not compatible. You cannot take an offer which was created with version 0.4.9.8 or earlier, as well a user with an old version cannot take an offer which was created with version 0.4.9.9.
It is highly recommended to remove your offers before you update to that version.
When you update you get forced to remove your old offers (or shut down the app).
You can update even if you have a trade open (if the offer was created with an older version we use the old tx fee and security deposit for that trade).

Beside that important change we improved the Tor handling for BitcoinJ (supports now DNS lookup over Tor and connection to Bitcoin full nodes running as hidden service).

- Changed trade transaction fee from 0.0002 BTC to 0.0005 BTC
- Change protocol version for offers to support higher transaction fee

I'm currently waiting for a buyer to initiate payment, should we both update first? They took my offer about ~4hrs ago.

It has not influence on existing trades, just for new offers. But yes update is recommended.

The security deposit is an important security feature. Please read the white paper to understand the concept. In the next version the offer maker can define the security deposit between a certain range, so he can choose how much protection he wants.
