MMGen Project1 has released MMGen Wallet2 version 17.0.03 with a critical security fix4 for Monero users and test suite support for THORChain XMR swaps:
Most importantly for Monero users, this version introduces transaction data integrity checking during the XMR signing process. This critical security upgrade ensures that the change address in the transaction belongs to your wallet and that the amount shown is going to the destination shown, preventing an attacker from stealing your funds in the event your online installation is ever compromised. These checks were always performed by the wallet for non-privacy coins but were regrettably overlooked for Monero. Monero users are thus urgently advised to upgrade.
* transaction data integrity checking for XMR
* THORChain memoless swaps (testing only)
* THORChain XMR swaps (testing only)
* XMR subaddress generation
* new mmgen-remote utility
* XMR: change handling of default datadirs
The full list of changes is available on Github5.
To support the project, transfer some XMR to the donation address listed at the bottom of the main repo’s README.md6 file.
