Update on EMC2 algo change
1. Researching Ethash (concept and implementation) - Done
2. Implementing Ethash in Einsteinium core. - Done
In this stage, Ethash algorithm was rewritten from original implementation of Ethereum.
3. Implementing changes in block structure. - Done
Ethash demands some attributes in block header that do not exist in current Einsteinium version. Also,
adding those attributes will help in next stage.
4. Implementing algo version conditions - Done
In order to use existing genesis and create hardfork, it was needed to create condition that will check
block number and switch algo.
5. Testing block broadcast. – In progress
Functions that verify broadcasted blocks need to be updated…
6. Implementing changes in existing EMC2 stratum. – In progress
Current implementation of Stratum protocol cannot handle new attributes in block structure and API
calls.
We are making the progress with ETHash, but we do not exclude possibility to implement some other good algo, or even multi algo scenario.
It would be core devs call.
