Hello community,

This is a HARD FORK announcement from the ORIGIN TEAM!

We are the Official Sumokoin team and we would like to announce we bring
back the old Algorithm to Sumokoin and becoming ASIC friendly.

“Why all of this?” you may ask..
Everything started after fireice persuaded us to get on Cryptonight-Heavy algorithm dragging us in the ASICs war started by Monero.

We believe in Decentralization ASICs bring to a Cryptocurrency since they are a vital part of the eco system.

…and this could provide only good for Sumo.

Beside that we mostly decided this for the good of our Community, we hardforked because coins may be lost due to the softfork attempt of the other team, you can read more here: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-beginners-guide-surviving-bip-148-uasf/

At the current state the rebranding to RYO is suspended, we will continue with the rebranding ONLY after we will finish solving every problem caused by the other team.

Note: The hardfork will happen at block height# 137500 (expected on Monday)
- You can download the new binaries from here: https://github.com/sumoproject/sumokoin/releases/tag/v0.3.2.0
- You can download the NEW WALLET from here: https://github.com/sumoproject/SumoGUIWallet/releases/tag/v0.0.5
