Title: EPIC (Epic Cash) halving coming up very soon - UPGRADE required
Post by: jimboscott on October 28, 2021, 04:11:57 PM
With halving nearly upon us, it is time to update your server to version 2.17. This version accommodates the halving, and the algo change to the new 48/48/4 proportions. As of block height 1157760, mining rewards will be halved, and blocks algos will change to the following:
48% ProgPow  (GPU)
48% RandomX (CPU)
4% Cuckoo (ASIC/CPU/GPU)
Please download the appropriate 2.17 binaries from the official https://epic.tech/downloads/ (https://epic.tech/downloads/) site ASAP.
THE BINARIES ARE LIVE NOW 😎👍
Please search and replace both 2.15 files – the  epic.exe and foundation.JSON  with the new ones from the 2.17 downloaded folder. If you have any questions, please post in the Epic Cash Help Desk group - https://t.me/epiccashhelpdesk (https://t.me/epiccashhelpdesk)
For people with technical knowledge to compile their own – the source code is located https://github.com/EpicCash/epic/tree/2.17 (https://github.com/EpicCash/epic/tree/2.17)

Please note, with 2.17 - mining software has not changed, wallet software has not changed.

Also, please note, this is not the V3 update, that will come after the halving – stay tuned for additional instructions regarding V3.
