I just read about their new algorithm, if it can be implemented successfully.   Then it will have a big effect by helping fair mining.  Good job guys, I will follow this crypto project, real tech stuff and unique in a sea of copy cats. If you want to know details, join their discord in OP post or they will share it - work for that info so I will not share.

Hi I just wanted to give an update on the state of the project.
* New algorithm ahead, it has been much more difficult than expected but shifu is doing well and making progress with his new algorithm miner implementation which is based on both, a GPU and a CPU part. This is the top priority for now and we hope to ship it next week. The design of the new algorithm is unique and the first of its kind.
* We have recently polished the output of the node software, now there are separate log files. This ensures the command line output is neat and clean.
* We are communicating with Exbitron for our first listing. Listing shall happen after the switch to the new algorithm.
* We now have a GUI wallet thanks to andrew and he is also working on a better explorer.
* Soon we will set up public nodes such that the GUI wallet can be used without running a node.

Some roadmap of things ahead:

* After listing the next goal is to support windows.
* Mining pool shall be set up next.
* Shifu has ideas to extend the basic functionality by a DeFI layer (shifu, please correct me if I am saying something wrong).

Warthog had a fair start, we did not reserve any of the supply for a dev fund. Everything is 100% mineable. We think that this is very important for a community cryptocurrency. But on the other hand we therefore need to collect some donations. The donation address for WART is

b897f693e81687b8d20947ecadfb83e4e850ac022134132e

A USDT donation address will be set up soon also for those who prefer to donation USDT.

Thank you all for your support!

Block explorer was released today: https://wart.0xf10.com

Despite the modesty of the developers, Warthog (WART) looks very promising. Considering the short lifespan, the project looks very viable. It seems to me, the team has a high level of competence for the technical development of the project and uses non-standard innovative solutions. To gain a worthy place among the mass of other cryptocurrencies, it is necessary to ensure the flow of money into the ecosystem. Considering the growing dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, this looks quite realistic.
Review of this coin here: https://www.cryptoprofi.info/?p=15168
It is quite possible that Warthog (WART) will in the near future take its rightful place among other high-quality, truly decentralized digital assets.

How long has this company been in business?

"Tomorrow / next days Dev hopes to finish the first version of the new Janushash miner, which will use CPU and GPU power to mine Verushash and triple Sha256 at the same time and  balance their hashrates to mine Proof of Balanced Work (PoBW). "

Will there be a guide how to mine with this new Janushash miner? 

[Lind]

Update for you. I am messenger, no more. Looks like a success, except a minor attack which KO-ed mining. They fixed it quite fast. 

"- Algorithm switch has happened! Welcome to the world of Janushash! More steps to come! 🍾🎊

# Link to new node (please update) same as before:
https://github.com/warthog-network/Warthog

## Link to new miner (miner active since block height 745200 as stated before):
https://github.com/CoinFuMasterShifu/janusminer "


About attack:

"- There was an invalid transaction which couldn't be there with the use of the wallet or the API. Someone has patched the node to send this invalid transaction.
Luckily only mining stopped. The mempool was not ready to reject such transaction.
Fixed now, please install latest version  v0.1.2 to continue mining. 🤟"

Good job OP! No bullshit indeed & humble work. Cool team.

[SwampSwagga]

Beautiful project development, love it

[Lind]

Update your machines!

"-  Important latest update, update node to version to 0.1.15 please, do so to continue mining. 🆕
It is part of our efforts, to combat unfair mining.

https://github.com/warthog-network/Warthog

# Fork happened at height 855000 🚨
## Don't forget to resync. ⚠️"

Yes SwampSwagga, very decent progress in a few months.

Some read for you guys, about algorithm Janushash:

https://github.com/CoinFuMasterShifu/Janushash

[Lind]

Let us help them, test it. There will be a testnet too. They just passed 1000 Discord users.  

"- v0.1.24 is out, if you want to help bug hunting:
https://github.com/warthog-network/Warthog

# debug output on disconnecting peers
## more log on peer connect/disconnect

Please share crash, error logs with devs, on Warthog Discord:
https://discord.com/invite/QMDV8bGTdQ

& testnet tweaking: part of v0.1.23 🐗

Please give feedback on the operation of the node version on Discord - 0.1.24 (tag Rafiki  in your review)"

[zzjulien]

Many things since last msg here we are at v0.1.31, last versions add debug things (and now node can run with valgrind) because we have a bug that make some node crash. Miner is more optimised and there is now windows build !

[zzjulien]

HARDFORK AT HEIGHT 981500

You should use version 0.2.0 of the node and the version 0.2.0 of the miner.

There is two major upgrade :
- a change in block structure
- a change to the merkle root calculation

These update will make easier the developpement of mining pools.

[zzjulien]

The fork went perfectly. We also have a new version of our website: http://www.warthog.network/

POOL AND NEW HARD FORK

New hardfork will take place at 987000 (node version 0.3.0) and first pool on warthog is available : acc-pool.pw

A huge milestone. Happened more in a few months than on some projects in year(s).

Yes, I agree, especially as it required a lot of work, given that the algorithm and blocks are not standard. Shifu modified Stratum especially for warthog

[zzjulien]

0.3.2 & 0.3.4 Updates:

- faster block propagation (deleting redundant header verification) -> better stats for miners.

We also exceeded one million blocks!
