v2.9.0.5 [OPTIONAL]

v2.9.0.5 [OPTIONAL]

• This optional release bumps min_peer_protcol so that only nodes that understand the Hoohash hardfork will be contacted at all, including for IBD for headers.

v2.9.0.4 [RECOMMENDED]

v2.9.0.4

This version is REQUIRED for correct running on Windows X64

It is highly recommended that you update to this version on Linux as well.

• Switch to openlibm for FP64 determinism cross platform
• Introduces a blockhain checkpoint at blockheight 4362478
• Built with stricter FP64 compilation flags.

v2.9.0.3 [OPTIONAL]

V2.9.0.3

This optional release to PEPEPOW is recommended, but not required for all users:

• Further hardens the network against malicious blocks
• Fixes a bug that was introduced preventing v2.9.0.2 from being able to clean sync from the genesis block.

v2.9.0.2 [MANDATORY]

PEPEPOW v2.9.0.2 - MANDATORY

• This release transitions the chain to HooHash V110 at block height 4354200 on MainNet - roughly April 10, 2026 between 18:00 and 19:00 UTC. This is a hard fork.

• It bumps the protocol version at that block height. Failure to upgrade will result in you being kicked off the chain, and no longer able to sync or send coins.

• Miners must transition to using hoo_cpu / hoo_gpu / hoo_gpu_amd / hoo_cpu arm available at https://htn.foztor.net/ at this block height (these miners will ONLY support Hoohash, you must use existing miners until then).

• It is anticiapted that Hoominer will also be ready to support our chain by then, but it is not certain.

• Pool operators must transition to the new hash at this point. https://github.com/MattF42/PePePow_multi-hashing and https://github.com/HoosatNetwork/hoohash provide reference implementations beyond those in src/crypto/hoohash in the core node code

**MASTERNODE OPERATORS **

As this release bumps the protocol version you MUST run ./PEPEPOW-cli masternode start-all once your node is back in sync with the network at this release version.

v2.8.1.3 [OPTIONAL]

v2.8.1.3 [OPTIONAL]

This release adds a "start" timer to SPORK21.

Whilst it's technically not a required update, if you have any sync issues you should upgrade to this version.

Upgrading is strongly encouraged to help protect the network.

v2.8.1.1 [ MANDATORY ]

v2.8.1.1

This release is mandatory for all users of the network. You must implement it BEFORE Monday, July 14, 2025 18:00:00 GMT or you will no longer be able to talk to the mainnet network.

• Bumps the protocol version to 70520

• Introduces SPORK18 which enforces protocol version 70520 on Monday, July 14, 2025 18:00:00 GMT

• Introduces a SPORK signing key, and support for string enabled SPORKS.

• The SPORK signing key is currently held by Foztor

• Introduces SPORK21 - which permits the freezing of UTXOs based on sending (last recipient) address.

  SPORK 21

  Such prohibitions will be clearly visible on the network through the use of
  PEPEPOW-cli spork show

If it just shows a date, then it is active, but nothing it currently frozen.

If one or more freezes are currently in place it will show
"SPORK_21_FREEZE_BLACKLIST": "blacklist:PLBwESsfR9CH3m486581yhWE1FVLH6QFgv;expires:1746630000"

Freezes have a maximum lifetime of 4 weeks, and will automatically expire if not re-issued at runtime.
No freezes will be issued without the full consensus of the DAO.

Coins that are attempted to be spent WILL return to the wallet, after a period of time, they are NOT BURNT.

MASTERNODE OPERATORS

You must restart your masternode due to the protocol bump.

v2.7.1.7 [ OPTIONAL ]

v2.7.1.6 [ OPTIONAL ]

The PEPEPOW devs are excited to announce the availability of PEPEPOW v2.7.1.7 with the following new features:

• Correction to tiered MasterNode calculation which was over-rewarding 100M Masternodes compared to the other tiers.
• A small performance enhancement to CheckFoundersInputs() on Mainnet
• Protocol version bump

Primarily only MasterNodes are impacted by this release. If you operated a MasterNode you MUST upgrade to this version from v2.7.1.6 (or earlier) in order for your masternodes votes to be considered valid by the rest of the network. You WILL need to restart your masternode after applying this update.

Easy upgrade script for Linux:

./PEPEPOW-cli stop && sleep 30 && wget https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases/download/v2.7.1.7/PEPEPOW-v2.7.1.7-b19e6a1-release-`uname -m`-linux-gnu.tgz && tar zxvpf PEPEPOW-v2.7.1.7-b19e6a1-release-`uname -m`-linux-gnu.tgz && ./PEPEPOWd -daemon && sleep 180 && ./PEPEPOW-cli masternode start-all

v2.7.1.6 [MANDATORY]

v2.7.1.6 [ MANDATORY ]

MANDATORY UPGRADE - SPORK17 activation

The PEPEPOW devs are excited to announce the availability of PEPEPOW v2.7.1.6 with the following new features:

• Updated wallpaper for the GUI wallet, and icons updated to reflect current branding.
• Activation of SPORK17 on mainnet at 1747418400 / Friday, 16 May 2025 18:00:00 GMT
• SPORK17 introduces Tiered Masternode reward structures
• The split between Miners/MasterNode/DevFee is unchanged
• Introduces new RPC call consolidate
• Protocol version bump to 70510

NB - Intel users with CPUs over 10 years old (lacking AES-NI support) may have to compile from source.

Tiered MasterNodes
The possible levels of Masternode Collateral are:

• 10,000,000
• 25,000,000
• 50,000,000
• 100,000,000

The frequency with which a Masternode "wins" the reward for any given block is propoprionate to the level of Collateral stake. So over time a 100M Masternode will receive the block reward ten times for every reward that a 10M Masternode does.

YOU MUST RESTART YOUR MASTERNODE AFTER PERFORMING THIS UPGRADE DUE TO A PROTOCOL VERSION INCREASE

** Consolidate RPC Call**
The RPC call to consolidate takes 2 arguments:

1. address (string, required) One of your own PEPEW addresses that contains UTXOs
2. N (numeric, required) The amount of UTXOs to consolidate. eg 50 (maximum is 200)

Result: transactionid (string) The transaction id.

Example
consolidate PMG1tmwb7fRrPnKmRCuAzKBd2t7KPDw6Nf 10

The consolidate RPC will always consolidate smallest UTXOs first, and will not consolidate UTXOs above 1M PEPEW

v2.6.3.2

Bugfix release

The PEPEPOW devs are excited to announce the availability of PEPEPOW v2.6.3.2 with the following new features:

• Hardware AES support on both X64 and aarch64 - this will provide a performance boost for post HardFork (XEL2) blocks
• Gorgeous new artwork, and logo
• Your wallet should no longer report "Error reading wallet.dat! All keys read correctly, but transaction data or address book entires might be missing or incorrect" and then carry out a full wallet rescan on startup.
• Your wallet will not complain about MISSING / INCORRECT FOUNDATION payment on startup

This release is strongly recommended for all users, all though it is not mandatory.

NB - Intel users with CPUs over 10 years old (lacking AES-NI support) may have to compile from source.
