Optional Update

What’s Changed

• This is an optional stability update to 1.8.0.
• This is a minor update that fixes an edge-case due to an issue in the internal Bitcoin SPV, which causes the whole node to become unresponsive right after upgrade before achieving full sync.
• If you've already upgraded to 1.8.0 with the official snapshots and/or the node is stable, this update should have no effect.
