Interesting project, didnt know about this fork.
SHA-256 makes sense since theres already so much hardware out there looking for coins to mine.
Quick questions tho, with 1.5 PH/s on the network, what difficulty adjustement algorithm are you using? Per-block like DGW or something with a longer window? Because with ASIC miners they tend to hop in and out pretty fast and it can wreck a smaller chain if the DA isnt reactive enough.
Also curious about the BGC-20 layer, how does it handle fees to prevent inscription spam?
I operate a small pool myself

(YiiMP based) so always keeping an eye on new SHA-256 projects.
Good luck with the launch
