[Announcement] 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 ?

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).
