[ANN]🐸[PEPEPOW] Should we switch the algorithm to support GPU mining?

[edisonhuang]

🚨 Transition to XelisV2 Algorithm! 🚨

We warmly invite everyone interested in cryptocurrency, especially those new to PEPEPOW, to learn more about our vibrant community and join us! PEPEPOW is a community-driven cryptocurrency project currently undergoing exciting developments.

Major Update: CPU + GPU (still not supported) Mining
We’re about to implement a significant change by upgrading our Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm from Memehash to XelisV2-pepew. This upgrade brings CPU and future GPU mining capability, offering more opportunities for everyone to participate, and significantly enhances network security.

Note: GPU miner support was not released on time; currently, only CPU mining is supported.
GPU mining software will be released soon.

Whether you're new to mining or a seasoned pro, now is the perfect time to get involved!

Hardfork took place on August 30, 2024 with the new algorithm!
We successfully transitioned to XelisV2-pepew despite temporary blockchain pauses. Thanks to Foztor, our partners, and community feedback, all issues were resolved promptly.


🚀🐸 Introducing PEPEPOW (PEPEW) - A Community-Driven Revolution! 🐸🚀

PEPEPOW is about transparency, innovation, and giving everyone a fair chance.
Join us to learn, grow, and connect!

History:
Launched May 12, 2023, PEPEPOW originally ran on its unique "memehash" (8 algos), forked from DASH (X11), then AXE, using hybrid PoW + PoS.

• Distribution: 65% PoW, 35% PoS, 5% dev fund
  
• Block time: 20 sec
  
• Max supply: 90B (31B circulating)
  
• Whitepaper: PEPEPOW White Paper V2.0
  

The Journey:
After initial hype, development was abandoned and the chain halted. Community members revived it, truly "bringing it back from the dead!" Read the full PEPEPOW Story.

Discord:
The Discord server was hacked (cookie hijack), so we moved to a new server. Now, PEPEPOW is backed by a small but passionate team, always pushing forward.

Future Development:
Foztor is leading new tech, including cross-chain bridges and potential DEX listings. Stay tuned!

that's not how announcing works! "announcing... air! it's been around since the dawn of time, but hey check it out!" 👎🏻

[edisonhuang]

The important thing is to remind that there are still scams on the old Discord server!

Nice to know. This is one of the other reasons to avoid this.

[edisonhuang]

The community has spoken, and we have a brand new release!!

https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases/tag/v2.6.1.1

Please upgrade before 10:00 UTC 29th August 2024 when SPORK 16 will activate in preparation for the change to XelisV2 as our hashing algorithm at blockheight 1930001 , which is anticipated to be in the evening (UTC) of 30th August 2024.

Block rewards will also be subject to a bonus 24 months to celebrate our adoption of XelishashV2. The block reward will increase to 17000 from the current 5000. This will reduce every 129600 blocks (or roughly 30 days) by 500 until the reward has reduced back to 5000 per block. Superblocks remain, and the split between miners, masternodes and the devfee is unchanged.

The reference CPU miner for PepePOW/XelisV2 is available at https://github.com/MattF42/pepew-cpu-miner
Other miners (including GPU support) are expected to become available prior to our hardfork.
Existing XEL / XelisV2 miners will NOT work until their dev has explicitly stated it is supported.

PePePow Survived Again!

We're thrilled to announce that PePePow has successfully overcome a significant challenge during our switch to the XelisV2-pepew algorithm. The blockchain paused for a while, but thanks to the swift actions of Foztor, enthusiastic partners, and the valuable feedback from the community, we've resolved the issue.

What's New?
- Updated Wallet Released: A new wallet update has been released. Please update your node wallet to the latest version here: [PePePow Wallet Update](https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases). Pool operators are also requested to update their software accordingly.

Mining Resources:
- Mining Software:
  - SRBMiner: [Download Here](https://github.com/doktor83/SRBMiner-Multi/releases/)
  - CPUMiner (Foztor's Version): [Download Here](https://github.com/MattF42/pepew-cpu-miner/releases)
- Supported Pools:
  - Community Pool: [community-pool.pepepow.org](https://community-pool.pepepow.org)
  - zpool: [zpool.ca](http://zpool.ca/)
  - M4P: [M4P PPLNS](https://mining4people.com/pool/pepecoin-pplns) | [M4P Solo](https://mining4people.com/pool/pepecoin-solo)

Important Notes:
- CPU Mining Only: Currently, only CPU mining is supported. GPU mining software will be released soon.

We want to extend our sincere thanks to the developers, mining software creators, pool operators, and community members for their unwavering support. Together, we’ve ensured PePePow continues to thrive!


It seems the network is more stable now. The hard fork had some bugs and was stuck for many hours, causing mining and masternodes to malfunction, but our developers quickly fixed it.

If you see GPUs running, they're likely still on the old chain using memehash, which is no longer supported by the mainnet. GPU mining isn’t available yet; we’re waiting for the miner update.

XelishV2-pepew is a version modified specifically for the PEPEPOW blockchain. Currently, only the community pool, M4P, and zpool are running the updated version.

Thank you,  
The PePePow DAO

Announcement: PEPEPOW IEO on Dex-Trade

From the recent voting trends, it’s clear that the majority of the community agrees on listing PEPEPOW on Dex-Trade, and the IEO price should align with the current XeggeX price. To accelerate the process, we are excited to announce the following: 

---

IEO Details 
:date: IEO Period: 
2024/12/19 to 2025/01/30 

IEO Price: 
0.00002 USDT/PEPEPOW 

Tokens for Sale: 
200,000,000 PEPEPOW 

---

Why This Price and Cap? 
- The price 0.00002 USDT reflects an average between the fluctuating market price (ranging from 0.00001 to 0.00003 USDT). 
- It is carefully chosen to minimize impact on the current market price while offering a reasonable entry point for IEO participants. 
- The cap of 200 million PEPEPOW is set to balance demand and avoid oversupply, protecting the market from unnecessary price drops.

What Happens if the IEO Doesn’t Succeed? 
- If the soft cap is not met, the IEO will conclude, and the PEPEPOW/USDT trading market will open. 
- A total of 112.5 million PEPEPOW from the funds raised will be allocated toward the listing fee. 

Transparency & Opportunity 
We value transparency, which is why we’re sharing all the details now. This gives everyone a chance to prepare if they want to participate in the IEO. 
To join the IEO, register on Dex-Trade earlier and ensure your account is ready.

Let’s Succeed Together! 
We hope the IEO is a great success and brings even more growth to PEPEPOW. Thank you for your continued support and trust in this project! Let’s build a stronger PEPEPOW community together. 💪

Should PEPEPOW switch its Proof of Work algorithm from XelisV2-pepew to HooHash V110?
This would finally bring full GPU mining support while keeping CPUs competitive.

Join the community, give suggestions and vote it !
Voting Period: Aug 21 → Sep 4, 2025

Pros
⚡ High energy efficiency — lower wattage on both GPUs and CPUs
💻 CPU remains competitive (not fully displaced by GPUs)
🛡 Resistant to ASIC/FPGA by design
🌍 Attracts more miners — GPU miners can join easily

Cons
🧪 Not a mature PoW — shorter history, less proven than older algos
🔀 Consensus change required — risk in switching to a new algorithm
⛏ Public miner support uncertain — may lose support from existing devs (e.g., SRBMiner may not adopt HooHash)
