XMR Hardfork to the RandomX Algorithm

Post by keydric » Mon Nov 11, 2019 7:05 pm

November 30th is the date I see online. Is that fork going to be implemented here on Prohashing?

Thanks for pointing this out.

I'm going to ask Vance whether this change will be simple or difficult to implement. As you can see, our CryptonightR hashrate is pretty low, so it my cost much more to implement the new algorithm than we could earn by mining it.

I'll post an update next week once we've performed this investigation.

Unfortunately, because the fork is occurring during the holiday, we will not be able to complete the work in time and Monero will be mining disabled later this week.

We'll update everyone next week once we've completed our additions and fixes of coins for other algorithms as to whether we will be supporting the new Monero algorithm.
