Masari has developed CN-Fast and will roll it out as the PoW algo @ block height 204,000. Testing shows a hashrate increase of 30-50% for both CPU & GPU against CNv7.

What is the problem of CNv7? If you want larger hashrate number, why don't choose SHA256 as POW algorithm same as Bitcoin?

What lmao? Your comment makes no sense. The hash increase is all relative. We're forking to prevent 51% attacks and timestamp manipulation. Our network is relatively small in comparison to XMR or ETN. People have been attacking MSR with large nicehash orders (CN7 orders). This fork will move us away from CN7 and kick nicehashers out.

Excellent move. We will see a much more stable network post fork.

So, the reason from CNv7 to CNfast is to kick nicehashers out by using a less common POW algorithm?

It's the same reason XTL is also forking away from nicehash. Nicehash is pure cancer thanks to a few toxic A-holes with large sums of BTC who use the massive hashrate to attack smaller projects. It's the same reason more projects are moving to CN-Heavy aswell.

I mean look at all the 51% attacks that have been happening recently. Bitcoin Gold, Litecoin Cash, Verge, ZenCash ect.. Where do you think those tards got the massive multi algorithm (SHA-256, Equihash, Blake2s, Lyra2c2..) hashrate from? Yup, nicehash.

Nicehash is pure aids, I'm glad we're making this move. It was awesome when they got hacked, pitty they didn't close down for good.

It's not necessary Nicehash fault, it could also be big pool owners, the problem is that more coins are using the same algo and the attack is pretty easy to do. Way to go Masari for changing the algo !
