September 2024 Work Progress Report: FIRO Delisting, Kaspa, Pyrin, Karlsen Updates

September 2Miners


FIRO
Delisting

As
of
September
13,
2024,
at
10:00
UTC,
FIRO
was
officially
delisted
from
our
mining
pool.
This
decision
followed
the
FIRO
project’s
announcement
to
significantly
reduce
mining
rewards
by
five
times
at
block
958655,
which
occurred
around
September
16,
2024.
The
new
reward
distribution
heavily
favored
Masternodes
and
markedly
decreased
miners’
shares,
which
did
not
align
with
our
values
of
supporting
the
miner
community.
Consequently,
we
discontinued
support
for
FIRO.

Kaspa
Stable
Mainnet
Release
&
WASM
SDK
v0.15.1

Last
month,
Kaspa
released
a
stable
mainnet
update
focusing
on
enhancing
mempool
functionalities
critical
for
adapting
to
fee
market
conditions.
Significant
features
introduced
included:

  • Replace-By-Fee
    (RBF)
    to
    allow
    transaction
    replacement
    in
    the
    mempool.
  • A
    fee
    estimation
    API
    based
    on
    real-time
    mempool
    states
    for
    more
    accurate
    fee
    predictions.
  • An
    updated
    mempool
    eviction
    policy
    that
    prioritizes
    transactions
    based
    on
    fee
    rate.

Additional
improvements
included
major
enhancements
in
the
block
template
transaction
selection
algorithm
and
header
processing
performance.
These
upgrades
made
mining
on
Kaspa
more
efficient
under
various
network
conditions.
Upgrading
to
this
version
was
recommended
to
ensure
stability
and
optimal
network
support.


Pyrin
Network
Hard
Fork

Pyrin
underwent
a
scheduled
hard
fork
at
block
27,037,930,
introducing
a
new
mining
algorithm,
PyrinHashV2.
This
change
required
miners
to
update
their
mining
software
to
continue
mining
PYI
effectively.
Details
on
the
countdown
to
the
hard
fork
were
available
in
the
Pyrin
Explorer.


Karlsen
Update
and
Hard
Fork

Karlsen
also
underwent
a
hard
fork
with
the
introduction
of
a
new
mining
algorithm,
KarlsenHashV2,
aimed
at
enhancing
network
security
and
efficiency.
Following
the
update,
several
issues
were
addressed,
including
a
critical
bug
fix
for
transaction
rejections
that
affected
pool
operators.
The
latest
version
included
several
important
fixes
improving
transaction
handling
and
wallet
functionalities,
making
it
crucial
for
miners
to
update
their
software
to
the
latest
version
to
avoid
potential
issues.
