Ravencoin RVN: Hard Fork
Blockchain updates: restricted assets and messaging are on testnet, dividends are almost ready for testing. New consensus hardfork that implements these updates on main net is most likely half December if all goes as planned and there are no major bugs found on testnet.
What is a hardfork?
The cryptocurrency mainnet operates according to certain rules. To improve network performance or correct errors, changes are periodically introduced into it. A hard fork represents changes that are not compatible with previous versions of software supporting the cryptocurrency network. In order to continue to mine the cryptocurrency, miners need to update the software.
In some cases, as a result of a hard fork, a completely new cryptocurrency may appear, as happened with Bitcoin Cash and EthereumPoW.
