Soft-Fork at Block Height 4380000 Complete
The Bismuth network completed its planned soft fork at block height 4,380,000.
While it may seem like a small step, it marks a profound shift: no more developer and hypernode rewards, reduced inflation, and a return to a single, miner-driven mainnet.
This is a streamlined, transparent, and community aligned Bismuth network.

Softfork Announcement
Upcoming Bismuth Soft Fork at Block 4,380,000
The Bismuth team is preparing a soft fork at block height 4,380,000, introducing two major changes:
1. Removal of Hypernode Sidechain
The hypernode staking system will be removed from the mainnet. This means staking will be discontinued.
While staking rewards have already been paused, there will be one final payout to all eligible stakers.
Going forward, GPU mining via Proof-of-Work will be the only way to earn Bismuth.
2. End of Test and Development Fund Rewards
The blockchain will no longer allocate new rewards to the Test and Development Fund, handing full control to the community.
Existing funds remain available for future development or potential exchange listings.
Node Upgrade Recommended
We recommend all miners and node operators to upgrade their mainnet node before block 4,380,000.
This is not a critical security update, but network consistency is essential.

Announcing the New Bismuth Information Hub
Our top priority was ensuring this new https://bismuthcoin.org website is not dependent on a single domain. By leveraging GitHub Pages and the Hugo static site generator, we give the Bismuth community a fully forkable repository.
- If a valuable website goes offline, it is better to have anyone be able to clone or fork the GitHub repo of the site to instantly restore the website on their own domain.
- The site’s main branch automatically generates content in the gh-pages branch, making updates and replication seamless.

A Recap of Bismuth Blockchain Events in Q4 2024
- Eggpool Halts Mining Operations
- Xeggex Exchange Halts BIS Deposits
- Solo Miners start to mine Bismuth blocks
- Xeggex Exchange Resumes BIS Operations
- Wallet Updates for Enhanced Stability (TK-Wallet Update v0.94 & Tornado Wallet Update v0.146)
Reflections on the Quarter
The last quarter of 2024 was a testament to the resilience of the Bismuth community and its adaptability. Despite the unexpected cessation of Eggpool’s operations, solo miners rose to the challenge, ensuring the blockchain’s survival with the help of the kbkminer software.
This period also highlighted the importance of decentralized and community-driven initiatives in sustaining blockchain ecosystems. Additionally, the wallet updates demonstrated the commitment of developers to enhance user experience and address evolving needs.

because many of similar projects are off forever
Mining had stopped for a short period because the one mining pool that was mining BIS stopped operations. It took some some time until difficulty came down for solo miners to step in.Now, Bismuth mining distribution is better than ever.
