Optional Update
This is an optional update which includes changes for testnet
and no mainnet
changes.
Summary
We've experimented with 3 different hashing algorithm in testnet
, named khashv1
, khashv1.5
and khashv2
.
khashv1 = KarlsenHashv1
khashv1.5 = FishHash
khashv2 = FishHash Plus (KarlsenHashv2)
However at the end we've decided to use FishHash Plus as it was result of security review of the FishHash algorithm. The PoW code for FishHash is still there, but the expected blocks are either version 1 or version 2. Therefore we decided to restart testnet-1 with shorter HF DAA score and don't need to maintain code for special case in the network.
