https://github.com/Fixed-Blockchain/fixedcoin https://github.com/Fixed-Blockchain/fixedcoin/blob/v29/README.mdFixedCoin Core 29.0.0 - MANDATORY UPDATE
This update is mandatory for all users, node operators, miners, pools, and exchanges. This version contains critical consensus changes that will be activated at block 1000.
All users MUST update before block 1000 to remain on the correct network.
What's New in This Version
ASERT Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm (Hard Fork at Block 1000)
This version implements the ASERT (Absolutely Scheduled Exponentially Rising Targets) difficulty adjustment algorithm, replacing the old system. ASERT offers:
Faster difficulty adjustments: Reacts to hash power variations every block instead of every 3 blocks.
Improved network stability: Eliminates difficulty spikes and mining blockages encountered in previous versions.
Protection against hash power manipulation: Makes difficulty manipulation attacks economically unviable.
The ASERT algorithm is activated at block 1000. All nodes must be upgraded before this level.
Freezing UTXOs: Implementing the security measures introduced in version 26.0.0, this version continues to enforce the freezing of compromised UTXOs at the consensus level. Transactions attempting to spend frozen outputs will be rejected by all upgraded nodes. Bitcoin Core Update 29.0.0
FixedCoin Core is now based on Bitcoin Core 29.0.0, which includes:
Performance improvements and optimizations
Updated P2P network code
Enhanced wallet features
Security fixes and bug fixes
CMake build system (replaces autotools)
P2P protocol version
The protocol version has been increased to 70018 to identify peers running the updated consensus rules.
How to perform the update
Stop your existing FixedCoin Core wallet, daemon, or mining pool.
Back up your wallet.dat file.
Download and install the new v29.0.0 binaries for your operating system.
Restart your wallet or daemon.
Your node will automatically follow the new consensus rules when block 1000 is reached.
For mining pools
Pool operators must update their node software before block 1000. The new ASERT difficulty algorithm will provide more consistent block times and reduce variance for miners.
