Guillaume Huot, Chief Operating OfficerLUX has successfully implemented a major fork at block 1612500. This fork brings with it the implementation of the new RX2 mining algorithm. RX2 should better balance mining to reward our long-term LUX miners and ensure the most fair distribution of mining rewards. This change benefits the entire LUX community as the new algorithm further secures the blockchain, helps safeguard LUX against price manipulation, and keeps LUX at the forefront of the crypto mining community. Check out the full update for how to update or fix your wallet if you have issues: medium.com/luxcore/luxcore-rx2-fork-success-5573d5f5f30a The RX2 rollout is also a big milestone for the Luxcore team and with this implementation, we can finally refocus our attention to our core products. We will be sharing more about what we are working on in the coming weeks, so stay tuned! I just want to say thank you to our team who has shown real dedication to this project. Also, thank you to the community for your patience and support.
