Karlsen is moving towards an algorithm change We are glad to announce karlsend update to v1.1.0 which was initially planned for December 31, 2023. It includes a series of important fixes and enhancements, notable changes:
1. Added more DNS seeders to improve and stabilize sync from scratch.
2. Fixed critical RPC bug and rebased the Kaspa fix for it.
3. Introduced aarch64 node builds.
It's worth noting that this marks the initial phase of our algorithm modification plan set for Q1/2024. During this period, a variety of algorithms will undergo testing on a public testnet. The team at Karlsen Network has put forward
FishHash as our proposed solution, and we openly invite members of our community to either suggest or create their own GPU-compatible algorithms. These submissions will be evaluated by the community and considered for inclusion on the list of algorithms up for voting. This update is optional but for pool operators it is highly recommended due to the RPC fix.
This update is a crucial step towards the release of the Karlsen Faucet which is needed to get free coins for upcoming public testnet and the Karlsen KDX which relies on improved sync infrastructure.
The next version v1.2.0 milestone due date is set to January 31, 2024 and will include more fixes, automatic PR testing with GitHub workflows, x86_32 fixes and kick off for public testnet.
