🚨 Xeggex Address Officially Blocked (SPORK_21 Activated)

Xeggex hot wallet address has now been successfully blocked on-chain using SPORK_21. This action was completed after the last update, and all outgoing transactions from the following address are now frozen:

Blocked Address:
PTrSnpbVzbKo1M6Z3fN83FXYkiA3tgRQU9
Technical Details:
You can verify the current network status using the command:

./PEPEPOW-cli spork show

You’ll see the new entry:

"SPORK_21_FREEZE_BLACKLIST": "blacklist:PTrSnpbVzbKo1M6Z3fN83FXYkiA3tgRQU9;start:1753209508;expires:1753209568"

All outgoing transactions from this address are now blocked.
* This was accomplished via the on-chain SPORK_21 mechanism and enforced by all upgraded nodes.**

What does this mean for the community?
* The Xeggex address can no longer send or move funds.
* This protects the PEPEPOW ecosystem from potential malicious dumping or further losses.
* The action is transparent, verifiable, and was performed with community and developer consensus.

Thank you for your continued participation and support as we work together to protect the project and move forward! 🚀🐸

[VOTE] Proposal: Switch PoW to HooHash V110

Foztor has spoken with Tonto (owner of HTN & HooHash). If PEPEPOW adopts HooHash V110, we would gain:
CUDA miner (NVIDIA)
OpenCL miner (AMD/Intel, to be extended by Tonto)
CPU miner (already available)

This would finally bring full GPU mining support while keeping CPUs competitive.

Pros
- High energy efficiency — lower wattage on both GPUs and CPUs
- CPU remains competitive (not fully displaced by GPUs)
- Resistant to ASIC/FPGA by design
- Attracts more miners — GPU miners can join easily

Cons
- Not a mature PoW — shorter history, less proven than older algos
- Consensus change required — risk in switching to a new algorithm
- Public miner support uncertain — may lose support from existing devs -(e.g., SRBMiner may not adopt HooHash)

Vote Question
Should PEPEPOW switch its Proof of Work algorithm from XelisV2-pepew to HooHash V110?
Options
Yes — Switch to HooHash V110
No — Stay on XelisV2-pepew
Abstain

Voting Period: Aug 21 → Sep 4, 2025

FAQ
Q1: Will I lose my coins or need to swap?
→ No. This is only a PoW change. Balances and masternodes remain the same.
Q2: Do masternodes change?
→ No economic change. Just upgrade binaries to stay on consensus.
Q3: What about exchanges?
→ Exchanges will need a short maintenance window, we will coordinate.
Q4: Can I still mine with the old XelisV2 miner?
→ After activation, XelisV2 blocks will be invalid. Please switch to HooHash miners (CPU, CUDA, OpenCL).

PoW Algorithm Vote Results
The community vote on whether to switch PEPEPOW’s Proof of Work algorithm from XelisV2-pepew to HooHash V110 has now concluded.

Voting Results (2025/8/21 – 2025/9/4)
Discord: 50% Yes / 44% No / 6% Abstain (36 votes)
Twitter: 75% Yes / 0% No / 25% Abstain (4 votes)
Telegram: 55% Yes / 39% No / 5% Abstain (38 votes)
While “Yes” technically reached the 50% mark, the results are very close and opinions remain divided. This makes it difficult to claim a clear community consensus.

Next Steps
We will not proceed immediately with the change. Instead, the DAO will continue discussions and share clearer explanations of the pros and cons for everyone, especially focusing on the core question: Should PEPEPOW remain CPU-only, or move to a low-energy PoW that supports both GPU and CPU mining at near parity?
After this period of discussion, we will hold a second, more focused vote to confirm whether the community truly supports a change.

Why This Matters
Staying on XelisV2-pepew → CPU-only mining, simpler, keeps things as they are.
Switching to HooHash V110 → Enables GPU mining + keeps CPUs competitive, higher energy efficiency, stronger ASIC resistance.

Thank you to everyone who voted and shared their views. Your participation helps guide the future of PEPEPOW. Stay tuned for more updates, and please join the discussion so we can reach a clearer consensus together.

📱 PEPEPOW Android Wallet Release 🎉

🎉 Happy New Year 2026! 🥳
Wishing everyone a great year ahead!

After extensive development, testing, and refinement,
the PEPEPOW Android Wallet is now completed and officially released!

This marks an important milestone for the PEPEPOW ecosystem, enabling users to create and use a fully non-custodial PEPEPOW wallet directly on mobile, with fast and practical usability.

🔗 Download & Release Notes (GitHub)
👉 [https://github.com/edisontw/pepepow-android-wallet/releases](https://github.com/edisontw/pepepow-android-wallet/releases)

---

⚠️ Important Notes (Please Read Carefully)

To avoid confusion or potential asset issues, please read the following carefully:

1️⃣ New wallet creation only

* This version does NOT support importing existing wallets
* Mnemonic recovery / restore is NOT supported

2️⃣ Back up your mnemonic securely

* The mnemonic generated on mobile must be saved immediately
* You may restore this mnemonic on the desktop wallet
* ⚠️ Once the same mnemonic is used on desktop, do NOT continue using it on mobile, as this may cause balance inconsistencies

3️⃣ Default fast sync mode (FAST boot)

* Designed for fast usability, typically usable within ~20–30 seconds
* FULL SPV mode is only partially implemented, slow and still buggy, and not recommended

4️⃣ Security model

* Fully non-custodial
* Private keys / mnemonics remain on your device only
* API-based fast sync improves usability but never controls or holds user funds

---

This release is a stable and usable starting point.
Further improvements to SPV, sync logic, and user experience are planned.

Feedback, testing, and contributions are very welcome 🙌

Thank you to everyone supporting and building PEPEPOW together ❤️

🚀 Community Update: PoW Direction & Next Vote

The previous PoW vote was very close. While “Yes” passed 50%, it did not show clear consensus.

✅Some prefer to stay on XelisV2 for stability and CPU-only mining.
Others support HooHash for better energy efficiency, ASIC/FPGA resistance, and restoring GPU mining while keeping CPUs competitive.

To move forward responsibly, we will:

Share clearer explanations in general chats
Then hold a second, simpler vote focused on the core question

📌The Real TL;DR Question

To simplify things, the core decision is essentially this:

Should PEPEPOW remain a CPU-only coin, or move to a low-energy PoW that supports both GPU and CPU mining at roughly equal parity?

This framing avoids deep technical details and focuses on the practical impact on miners, the network, and future growth.

🗂No technical changes will happen without stronger community agreement.
