We will be hard-forking to Version 5 later this year (around October - November 2018)
Planned changes:
* New hashing algorithm: CryptoNight Light Variant 2
* New difficulty algorithm: Latest version of Zawy algorithm at the moment of code freeze
* Disallow mining blocks with just coinbase transaction (must have at least one fusion or regular transaction)
We will post the exact block height of hard fork after the code freeze, which will happen when most common mining software have implemented support for Variant 2. I will add support for the hard fork in pinkstar-pool as soon as Variant 2 support is added to hashing module used in the pool software.
Known issues:
* Hard fork will cause some of the mined blocks to be rejected by daemon, this is intentional to protect from network freezes when pool luck is very high or pool hash rate is over 50% of cumulative hash rate of the network.
* Hard fork can temporarily cause time between subsequent blocks to increase a lot higher than 4 minutes during periods of low network activity, this will fix automatically when more transactions are added to memory pool
These are the latest updates, dedicated to those who say that we are not doing anything, that we are not developing the currency, etc. In the same hard fork we will also implement the masternode, soon we will give you more information.
