[Announcement] PEPEPOW Mandatory Upgrade – Hoohash Hard Fork

The PEPEPOW network will perform a mandatory protocol upgrade introducing the new Proof-of-Work algorithm hoohash-pepew. Hard Fork Schedule Block Height: 4354200 Estimated Date: April 10, 2026 UTC Time: 18:00 – 19:00 Nodes running earlier versions will no longer synchronize with the network after this block height. Required Software Version All operators must upgrade to: PePe-core v2.9.0.2 Release page: https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases/tag/v2.9.0.2 Masternode Operators After upgrading and synchronizing your node, restart masternodes using: ./PEPEPOW-cli masternode start-all Failure to restart may cause the masternode to expire and stop receiving rewards. Miners Mining will transition to the Hoohash algorithm. New mining software is available: hoo_cpu hoo_gpu hoo_gpu_amd hoo_cpu_arm Download: https://htn.foztor.net/ Miners should switch to the new miner only after the fork activates. Pool Operators Mining pools must support the algorithm hoohash-pepew. Reference implementations are available at: https://github.com/MattF42/PePePow_multi-hashing https://github.com/HoosatNetwork/hoohash Testing on testnet before the mainnet activation is recommended.
