[UPDATE] Network Upgrade: Rainforest v.2

MicroBitcoin — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 08:31:40 +0000

A new update for RFv2 has been added and the activation date has been delayed to block height 915,000. Estimated to happen on 5/07 (Tues) at 00:42 UTC

The devs initially added some complexity based on floation point math so that it will make the algo harder to implement on FPGAs/ASICs hardware. However, a bug was found that created different hashes on different architectures. This new update is for resolving that bug and to fully implement Rainforest v2 algorithm.
Check out more details on the fix here.
