New MainNet v1.1.4-beta Release Re-enabled Name Service

On March 2nd, NKN released MainNet v1.1.4-beta.  This release re-enables name service functions at block height 980,000, including name registration, extension, transfer and delete.  Old versions will not be able to parse any new name service transactions and thus will fail to work after block height 980,000. Therefore, please update your nodes accordingly.

Name registration now costs a fee (10 NKN) and is valid only for a year to avoid spamming attacks.  

For update instructions and the latest Pruned ChainDB file check out the release notes at: https://forum.nkn.org/t/nkn-mainnet-v1-1-4-beta-release/2106

The latest stable release for mainnet is v1.1.4-beta
