Pexa Coin successfully forked to the new x16rv2 algorithm. If you have not already done so head on over to GitHub and download the latest wallet version.

With the recent fork to the new algorithm, this helped the coin move towards a positive direction in combating ASICs. There is currently no evidence to suggest ASICs have touched Pexa Coin at this time with the new algorithm; however, this does not suggest this is a complete solution.

How to Download the new Pexa Coin Wallet

Currently the only pre-compiled binaries are the Windows 64 bit wallet, and the docker release.
