I know botnets where there form the start we had a different algo then but I thought the new algo was supposed to fix this, or at least make it a lot less feasablie to do. asics seemed like not a option to me thats why I said it seemed highly unlikely, thats why I was wondering how the high hashrate could be explained.

It wasn't botnets as far as I know, a bunch of people just found out how to get AWS credits for free and unleashed insane numbers of Amazon instances on Zcoin.

ah oke I think I missed this bc I dont follow tread enough. I thought we where allready on MTP algo but where on lyra2z now instead?

It's been Lyra2Z since February... MTP is running on testnet and open source miners are being developed, and at the moment it's scheduled to launch at block 47500 (which should be around August 13), barring any further delays due to weaknesses found or anything like that.

oke thanks I mixed things up. first I thought we where already on mtp algo but then I understood we where on a transition algo what gave me the impression that we just switched or something in preperation for mtp what seemed kind of strange in the timeframe but should have read it more extensivly.

Goodluck to all the bug finders!
