Haven Hardfork Announcement
We are hardforking at block 38500! This is around 12 hours from this announcement. All major pools and exchanges are fully updated with the new v2 code.
What do you need to do?All your coins are safe, the usual cautions apply which is just to make sure you have your 25 word mnemonic seed in a safe place. Before updating any software make sure you have this seed.
You will need to update your wallet to use it however there isn't a time limit on this. If you have your coins sitting in a wallet and you dont touch them you don't need to update until you want to use it.
Features:Increased minimum ring size from 5 to 10 for increased privacy and anonymity
PoW algorithim changed from Cryptonight to Cryptonight Heavy which is ASIC resistant and not currently listed on nicehash
Updated to latest LWMA difficulty algorithim implementation to stop timewarp attacks and improve reliability of block timings
Support for subaddresses in GUI wallet
Various small performance improvements
WalletYou will need to update your wallet.
Haven Windows GUI 2.0..0
https://github.com/havenprotocol/haven/releases/download/2.0.0/haven-gui-windows-2.0.0.zipThe GUI wallet will look in the same place for your wallet files so if you use the Windows GUI you should be able open the new wallet like normal.
Mac Wallet coming soon!
Linux CLI
You may need to download dependencies. (this will be fixed soon)
https://github.com/havenprotocol/haven/releases/download/2.0.0/haven-cli-linux-x64-2.0.0.zipMiningMiners should start using xmr-stak-haven.
xmr-stak-haven for Windows
https://github.com/havenprotocol/haven/releases/download/2.0.0/xmr-stak-haven-2.zipxmr-stak-haven repo
https://github.com/havenprotocol/xmr-stak-havenYou can start using this now and it will automatically switch to the new algorithim at the hardfork block. Until other cryptonight heavy miners come out, this is the only miner that supports Haven and cryptonight heavy after the hardfork so update now!
PoolsUpdate your node-multi-hashing module to this
https://github.com/havenprotocol/node-multi-hashingand adjust lib/pool.js (or equivalent) to this:
(remove) var cryptoNight = multiHashing['cryptonight'];
(add) var cryptoNight = multiHashing['cryptonight_heavy'];
Thats all that needs to be done and your pool will support auto switching once we hit v2.
