Mirinae Developers Needed - NVIDIA/AMD

Hello MBCians, the developer team would like to get as much help as possible to prepare the deployment of the new Mirinae ASIC-Resistant algorithm.

So far Mirinae support has been added to:
- Core daemon
- CPU miner
- ElectrumX (python3 module)
- Yiimp pool

They're looking for somebody who can assist to implement Mirinae (especially Kupyna hash primitive for Nvidia and AMD miners like ccminer and sgminer).

Reference implementation of Mirinae can be found here https://github.com/MicroBitcoinOrg/Mirinae

**Network Upgrade: Rainforest**

MBCians, we are firing up engines! The network upgrade is set to happen at 830,000th block which is estimated to occur on March 6, 2019, at 00:00 UTC.

**Please avoid making any transactions 10 blocks before and after the network upgrade.**

Rainforest, is the new anti-ASIC algorithm that will be implemented in the upgrade. this way, mining will continue to be decentralized.

**Pools, exchanges, and all node holders please update your daemon to the latest release by following this post** https://mbc.wiki/d/23-rainforest-network-upgrade

Reminder: Upgrade Your Nodes
Kind reminder to all node hosts to update daemons to the latest release.
For more information on the upgrade, please see the developer forum.
Countdown to Upgrade
You can now track the time till the network upgrade happens using this countdown page.

Remember to upgrade your nodes to the latest release to harness the new Rainforest algorithm.
Less than 12 hours to go!
The new algorithm "Rainforest" will soon be implemented in less than 12 hours. If you haven't updated you daemon yet, head over to the latest release page and update.
Difficulty Too High
The expected block 830,000 is at a very high difficulty due to a minor bug that was to lower the difficulty at that block, instead will be at the next block. Which takes much longer time for the miners to mine.

To fix this, the developers are going to release a fixed updated patch in the next 30 minutes.
Update to Version 0.16.5 Reminder
Most nodes have been updated already!
Just a few more MBCians!

It's best to make transactions once all nodes have been updated!

Please update immediately to Version 0.16.5.
See latest commit.
Network Upgrade Successful
The new RAINFOREST algorithm has been successfully implemented to the MicroBitcoin network.

Credits to the developers who put in a lot of effort in the new implementation. Let's all look forward to taking MBC further into innovating the industry.
Having Connection Errors?
Those facing difficulty connecting to the network during initial the sync:
1. Visit this link.
2. Pick one of the IP addresses listed.
3. Execute the following command using the MicroBitcoin CLI, or in the QT wallet's debug window:

addnode SELECTED_IP_HERE add

The application should find and connect with peers on the network. See wiki post here.
New Mining Pools!
Hello fellow MBCians, proud to say that we now have a total of at least 12... yes twelve mining pools that are now active!

Spread yourselves out across the vast selection to mine with better chances! Just pick one from the mining list !

Here are some of the new pools:
Alt Pool, Mine Crypto, Extreme Hash,
ThePool.Life, Hashpool, Block Miner
2x Speed Increase!!!
Update your WildRig to the latest version:

WildRig Multi 0.15.4 preview 7 with 2x speed increase
https://github.com/andru-kun/wildrig-multi/releases/tag/0.15.4p7

Big shoutout to andrucrypt for providing!
ZPool Adds MBC!
MBCians, ZPool has added MBC to their pool! A big thank you to them for the addition.

Please see the Mining MBC page for a complete list of currently known pools.
Let’s defend MicroBitcoin network!
WildRig Multi 0.15.4 preview 8

The HUGE hashrate increase for rainforest(Gigahashes per GPU, like 33GH/s per RX570). So be careful and use high diff ports or parameter d in password with minimum 100 per rig(see start-mbc.bat)
