Technical Implications of MeowPow Activation

The shift to MeowPow introduces critical enhancements to the Meowcoin network, focusing on mining efficiency and network integrity.

Compatibility and Consensus

The majority of the network's support for MeowPow changes the consensus rules for mining and transaction validation. Updated nodes will automatically recognize and validate blocks mined using MeowPow, ensuring network security and consistency.

Risk of Network Fragmentation

Nodes and wallets not updated to support MeowPow may not recognize new blocks mined with the algorithm, risking network fragmentation. This scenario underscores the importance of updating your software to stay aligned with the network's main, updated chain.

The Importance of Updating

Updating your wallet and mining software is crucial for maintaining compatibility with Meowcoin's evolving consensus rules. This ensures your transactions are validated, and you remain an integral part of the Meowcoin network.
