Bitcoin Cash Node Reveals Upgrade Plans for May and Difficulty Algorithm Research
On March 2, the developers behind the Bitcoin Cash Node project announced the team’s plans for the May upgrade and beyond. Bitcoin Cash Node will also implement two new features planned for the May upgrade and there are plans to evaluate improving the Bitcoin Cash difficulty adjustment algorithm (DAA).
The BCN developers will focus on certain elements within the BCH codebase including up to date project user documentation, completing the missing specification of the automatic finalization feature (aka ‘rolling checkpoints’), creating a development process, identifying existing gaps in software tests, and monitoring Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin ABC projects for backports. Electron Cash developer Jonald Fyookball responded to the post on r/btc and told the team he doesn’t think the BCN project should have “the lead programmer be the lead maintainer.”.
