Mainnet Activation for Hardfork-1 #
Iron Fish is preparing for its first hardfork. The first hardfork will include:
FIP-2 : Enforce sequential block time (a block’s timestamp has to be greater than the timestamp of its parent)
FIP-3 : Switch hashing algorithm from blake3 to FishHash
FIP-8 : Difficulty adjustment (to accommodate the algorithm change)
FIP-9 : Swap randomness and graffiti field positions in the Block Header
The most notable change is the hashing algorithm switch from blake3 to FishHash. To read more about FishHash, the motivation behind finding a new hashing algorithm for Iron Fish, as well as exploration of other algorithm choices, please see FIP-3 (or community created video walkthroughs like this one).

FIP-10 Hardfork 1 (FishHash) 2 april
Abstract #
This FIP specifies the dates and changes for the first Iron Fish Hardfork. The hardfork will include
Switching the mining algorithm to FishHash from Blake3 (FIP-3)
Swap positions of randomenss and graffiti fields in header serialization (FIP-9)
Enforce that a blocks timestamp is strictly greater than the previous block (FIP-2)
Add mechanism for faster difficulty adjustment per block as well as a one time difficulty adjustment to account for the change in mining algorithm (FIP-8)

ron Fish v1.14.0 has been released!
Here are some of the major changes:
* Sending a transaction in the CLI now shows a summary of the transaction, including spends and outputs, before sending it.
* We now display a clearer error when passing --path and an invalid argument to the wallet:import command.
* The wallet/getAccountsStatus RPC now returns whether an account is view-only, and we added wallet/getAccountStatus for fetching a single account's status. There are some breaking changes to these RPCs, so please see the release notes below.
* The peer/addPeer RPC now waits for the node to connect to the peer before returning.
* Fixed a time-related case where snapshot downloads could unexpectedly time out.

so what happened to the new algorithm? is the poll over
For now, the coin works on the old blake3Ironfish algorithm. Twitter and the blog do not contain information about the date of the algorithm change, so perhaps after testing a replacement date will be set. This coin is not profitable for mining yet, so I don’t follow it much.
so what happened to the new algorithm? is the poll over
NFTs have been under the spotlight for introducing a paradigm shift in how we think about ownership; enabling exciting opportunities for web3. However, with those opportunities come equally compelling privacy concerns. We're here to talk about those concerns and how Iron Fish stands as a solution, offering absolute privacy and compliance to the mitigated risks of the NFT privacy paradox.

Fish Algo
So take part in the voting. If this process has begun, I think that this coin will make mining on ASICs impossible and will make mining on FPGAs not very profitable. Although it is difficult to fight against FPGAs, it is possible to make FPGAs mine more profitable coins.
The distribution model and IronFish mining algorithm are secondary, in my opinion. That being said, I mostly support GPU mining. What’s more interesting about the IronFish project is that the developers are initially trying to legalize their cryptocurrency before regulatory authorities. But on the other hand, it is not entirely clear how one can remain completely anonymous (ZKP transactions) and be legitimate for the regulator (government, etc.).

Introducing the Iron Fish Wallet Server
Today we're excited to announce the initial release of the Iron Fish Wallet Server. This project aims to enable the building and running of a fully private client without the need to run a local Iron Fish node. In this blog post, we'll provide an overview of the Wallet Server, its key features, and talk about how you can help us improve this project.
The Iron Fish Wallet Server is a gRPC server that allows light clients to interact with the Iron Fish network without having to run a full node.
The Wallet Server is open source and available on GitHub.
We're currently hosting a rate limited version of this server at walletserver.ironfish.network for testing.
If you're interested in building a light client, talk to us over on Discord on the #wallet-server channel!

What is the “Fish Hash” Algo? 
The reason for voting to change the algorithm is to support GPU miners to remove FPGA from mining this coin and study the opinion of the community.
Lolliedieb’s “Fish Hash” Algo is probably a proprietary algorithm that was developed for this coin by the developer Lolminer. If they vote for this algorithm, we’ll see how it works on video cards.

Ok thx and it would be interesting to see how Fish Hash would perform.
