PSA: Potential Bitcoin PoW change Sunday. SHA2 miners should stop mining Saturday.

  • After NYPost updates their Sunday morning print online, I'll post the canonical blake2b_headline parameter.
  • If things go perfectly, Knots 29.4.1 final will be released Sep 1 on schedule, keeping the Aug 30 blockchain.
  • If there's any issues (unlikely at this point), we address them and reset to the last SHA2 block for rc5.

If you intend to mine from day 1, I recommend getting setup with testnet4 (rc3) now so you're ready for mainnet on Sunday.
