2ACoin v2.0.0 Launched

2ACoin launched the release of 2ACoin v2.0.0 which includes an algorithm switch to Argon2/Chukwa.

2ACoin v2.0.0 is a major release of the 2ACoin CORE software and included the following general updates;

  • Added Chukwa support
    • Argon2id with 512KB memory, 3 iterations, 1 thread.
  • Scheduled block major version change to 6 at block 455,000.
  • Applied standard code formatting via clang-format to project source code.
  • Resolved a number of compiler warnings when using Clang or GCC
  • Dropped support for gcc based builds on OSX due to ongoing issues with the gcc toolchain on that platform. Clang is the recommended toolchain for OSX.
  • Internal checkpoints updated through block 425,0000
  • CryptoNight based cryptography has been split into platform specific files to make it easier to read through the code.
  • Resolves an issue with the portable CryptoNight cryptography that would result in invalid hash calculations on some platforms.
  • Changed default build type from Release with Debug Info to Release
  • Core code reorganization to help reduce dependencies for some binaries thereby speeding up compilation for some users.
  • Switch to native builds instead of portable builds by default. Releases will still be default (portable) builds. Please see the build directions if you wish to compile portable builds.
  • Simplified the Windows build instructions
  • Renamed all directories in the /src folder to lowercase
  • Removed unused code from the project.

The conversion was very successful with no major issues reported by the algorithm switch.
