Some information about the upcoming Arionum updates: - There will be a hard fork at block 80.000 which will update the mining system and will implement the alias system. - The development has been finished on both mining and the alias system. Currently they are undergoing tests. - The mining system will be changed to a hybrid mining system in which 1 block is given to CPU miners, 1 to GPU and 1 to masternode staking. - Masternodes will be implemented starting block 80.000 - To create a masternode you will need 100.000 ARO and you will lock those funds as colateral for minimum 3+1 months. - The masternodes will be winning blocks based on a Proof of Stake system. - There is no limit on the number of the total masternodes. - The masternodes will be used for the project governance and for taking decisions regarding the Arionum blockchain. For example, voting for new features etc (implemented at a later stage) - The masternodes will be used for handling asset transactions (implemented at a later stage) - It's possible to implement some sort of sidechain for much faster transactions using the masternodes, at a later date. - We have implemented a bootstrapping feature to have the nodes do the initial sync much faster.
