🇫 🇪 🇸 🇹  Check and share the blog post about CN-FEST fork: http://festivalcoin.net/blog/index.php/2018/08/16/fork-to-cn-fest/


Please find below some of the technical aspects of the CN-🇫 🇪 🇸 🇹  mining algorithm fork. Some ideas, concepts and future  goals:
1- **Network resilience**. Prepare a “magic start” with a special `speed_factor` that aims to increase the resistance to short-time fluctuations  on the network hashrate. Thus when hashrate fluctuates or specially increases in the form of spikes, the network can adapt smoothly.           
2- **Legacy HW support**. Prepare a special `mask iteration` and `memory management` for performance increase for non-modern GPUs, e.g. RX-470.
3- **Scalability, Master Nodes and Super Nodes future support**. Update general settings like `check_window` , `system timeout`, threshold values and more. A baseline and foundation for the MasterNode & SuperNode future infrastructure. Meetings were carried along with **GRAFT Coin** Devs and some other crypto dev experts.
4- **Stability and adaptation to roadmap**. Increase stability and prepare for future plans, e.g. `SideChain` creation for dynamic load balancing.
5- **NiceHash resistant**: According to first the 04 points, our PoW algorithm will update on block 70000 and NiceHash will immediately not support Festival coin mining anymore via CN-V7.
