PGN is finally forking into a DASH and Masternode/Datanode network Masternode Fork (1.18.2.0) - Hard Fork (Required Upgrade by May 1 2022)This release is a major, required upgrade to continue operating on the Pigeoncoin blockchain. This release has been in the works for several years after being directed by the community. Thank you to the developers and testers and to the community who helped make this happen.
Previous versions of the Pigeoncoin client were based on the Bitcoin codebase. This version ported everything over to the Dash codebase. After upgrading your wallet to the new format as an end user, other then a new look to the wallet, things should operate just the same. There is no airdrop, simply a wallet database upgrade done by the software.
The dash codebase was required to add the masternode capability which lays the groundwork for the upcoming datanodes which are required for the future of Pigeoncoin.
A hard fork occurs at block 2,074,070, which is roughly May 1st 2022 03:23 UTC. At this time Masternodes can be created. Payouts begin at block 2,094,230, which is roughly May 15th 2022 03:23 UTC. Exact times may be several hours off depending on how fast blocks are mined.
Please ensure you upgrade your wallet prior to May 1st to ensure a smooth transition.
For new users, simply download the new binary or build from source. No special configuration is required.
To verify your wallet is synced after upgrading you can verify the latest block from
