Re: [ANN] [ARO] | Arionum | CPU Only | PHP Based

So 2 weeks after release, instead of further developing the project, dev's creating a hardfork. Nice GPU miner release

Hope the project would still run positively up! I'll be watching it closely and be ready to jump in ASAP when the hardfork kicks in.

Arionum has been continuously developed in the last weeks. It's still early beta so it's normal for a hard fork to happen.

I appreciate that you're dealing with the GPU problem because if it isn't CPU only I won't be mining it.

But what's to come of the current coins? The ones I've worked so hard for are now diluted by all the GPU mined coins.

I do not consider few days of gpu mining as dilution. The number of coins generated would have been the same if it were to be cpu or gpu.

@mrcowboy82 install the openssl binaries and reboot

IMPORTANT UPDATE

In order to increase the fairness of Arionum and stay true to the inital claim of being a cpu coin, we will be changing the mining algorithm starting the block 10800.

Also, starting block 10800, the maximum transaction fee will be 10 ARO.

Please update your nodes before the 10800 block. During the blocks 10790 and 10810 no transactions will be accepted by the nodes. (pool payments will be sent after block 10810)

After the 10800 block, you will also need to update your wallets as the hardcoded fee has been changed.

The miners will also need to be updated after block 10800.

The new mining alghoritm uses:
threads=1
memory=524288
time=1

Also, starting block 10800, the maximum transaction fee will be 10 ARO.

Expected new hashrate on 2x E5-2670 - 18H/s
Expected new hashrate on GTX 1080 - 25 H/s
