!!! Attention Everyone !!!

SnowGem Team discovered security bug in our upcoming fork which was solved in our last commit. This bug should allow attacker to use TimeWrap attack again on our network. That´s why we decided to postpone fork a bit to block 765000 and patch it in our release. We are very sorry for this complication but security is #1 in SnowGem. Please follow our last article why we need to fork to another difficulty algo and update all your masternodes as soon as possible!

Asgard managed masternodes and Modern Wallet will be updated automatically as usual.

Thank you and apologize for inconvenience.

What do you need to do?

As usual, it´s soft fork. You don´t need to swap coins or something, just update your masternodes. If you are using Asgard, you are lucky, because you don´t need to do anything — everything will be done remotely. If you have self-managed masternode and don´t want to migrate to Asgard, you need to clone update repo from GitHub and upgrade daemon manually with difa_update.sh file. You can find repo on this link:

If you want to compile everything yourself, you can find our new daemon on this address:

https://github.com/Snowgem/Snowgem/releases/tag/3000453-20190603

This has to be done by block 765000 and is mandatory. Please feel free to reach out if you have any issues or concerns with the update.

Thank you all for understanding.
