ScPrime to Undergo Hard Fork in May
ScPrime has announced that its developers have successfully rewritten the mining module for the new algorithm. This was done using new APIs to test the new miner. The next step in the process is the standard pool integration via stratum. The company expects to set a hard fork block height in May.
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.

Our devs had to rewrite the mining module for the new algo with new APIs to test the new miner. Next up is standard pool integration via stratum. We should be able to set a hard fork block height next week
