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

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).
