Vertcoin VTC: Hard Fork
This pre-release contains the proposed upcoming #Vertcoin main network hard fork to the new #Lyra2REv3 mining algorithm at block 1080000 in order to rid the network of the current generation of Lyra2REv2 ASICs and FPGAs.
Event date: February 2019 UTC
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.
