This week in GIN — 15th of February, 2019
First of all, we hope you had a great V-Day!
Second, thank you to all who had their rendez-vous with the latest version of the GIN wallet — 1.2.1!
Notarization and algo change
The notarization of the Gincoin blockchain using the Komodo dPoW solution started. We are now effectively protected against 51% attacks with the power of the Bitcoin blockchain.
GIN algorithm changed today, 15th of February, at precisely 4 pm GMT.
A reminder on why we did this:
- we believe the best security of our network is still provided by the GPU miners
- although we like the hash power brought to our network by FPGAs we don’t like it when a few control most of the network HP
- we’re excited about new tech and the Komodo solution seems like a very clever approach to the now very popular 51% attack which allows us to stay PoW
We would also like to salute the close involvement of the Komodo team in both the initial implementation and incident management throughout.
Say hello to the first masternode coin and the first to be based on DASH tech to use dPoW — GIN!
Discounts, discounts, discounts
Discount season has kicked off on Monday, 11th of February. A lot of you asked whether there’s an expiration date. The answer? Nope. No expiration date.
As a reminder, you can benefit from Discounts if you choose to pay upfront for extending your nodes’ expiration date. You get 10% off if you choose to extend by 30 days, and 30% off if you extend by 90 days. Make sure you have enough credit in your account balance.
To access the Node Renewal option, simply go to your Portfolio and click on the node you want to renew. The option will be visible right on the “Renewal date” row.
