XMR fork - Monero Fork Comming

in #xmr6 years ago

Upcoming XMR fork,

Monero team is going to change PoW and issue a new algorithm CryptoNightV7. The main cause for the change is “to maintain ASIC resistance by swiftly reacting to any potential threat from ASICs and considering slightly modifying the PoW at every hardfork.” The Monero team is protecting XMR from the centralization as new ASIC miners may gain a significant majority of the network hashrate.

The network upgrade will take place on April 6, 2018, block 1546000, and MinerGate is ready to support it.
