🦉 HTN Nocturne Hard Fork! 🦉
I can congratulate all of you who have participated in this Hard Fork. You are part of those who keep the network running while I have been fixing code, even issues that still exist on Kaspa Golang Reference node.
I apologize for the Hard Fork issue that difficulty did not drop because of no-one found blocks with Hoominer, before I modified a node to drop the difficulty on HF DAAscore. Then we noticed that something happened with pruning depths, which stopped IBD'ing. I have my suspect's, but have not found any solid proofs yet.
While everyone seemed to have timeouts and some panic errors. Some of this has been because some people have been attacking our network with modified coinbase transactions, blocks with undefined nonce, untrusted peer node freezing and whatever comes to mind. It seems those attacks are continuing at the moment, but the network has been running successfully for over 24 hours. So it seems someone really did not want us to progress from 1 BPS Hoohash V1.0.1 to 5 BPS Hoohash V1.1.0.
We can go further than ever, were progressing on our own path now. We are not anymore depending on third party miner developers, that can try to change the direction of the project without consensus of the community. Miner devs are allowed to implement or break Hoohash, but expect it to be update according to the wishes of the community. You are those who with me wanted HTN to stay GPU minable, it took 6 months but we are here on 5 BPS with correct Hoohash algorithm doing it's supposed floating point arithmetic's to balance the benefits of accelerated processing.
