So here's the plan for selecting Bitcoin's new PoW algorithm:

Nobody knows the new algorithm right now, and nobody will until we all know at the same moment.

At 14:00 UTC August 11th, we will begin watching Bitcoin's Testnet4 chain for new blocks.

The very next block found, look at the block hash.
The last character will choose the new algorithm.
(Note that testnet4 blocks are typically timestamped wrong!)

As soon as I see that block, I will reveal the mapping showing which algorithm that character represents.

Throughout the last 24+ hours, the community has discussed and made a short list of candidate algorithms.
I compiled that list into a weighted (according to their suitability) set of options for the mapping list.

You can prove I didn't rig it, by SHA256 hashing the mapping text file.
It will match 71a7960874f3352f4ba600ce67bd6f8e96702565abea93021fa86349d99a45e8

Are you hoping exchanges will list this coin so you can dump bip-110 on your cult followers?

It's happening!!! Seems I have to learn how to mine! LFG

Holy shit, you’re as much of a blistering retard as Carvalho.

You are deciding the future of your Bitcoin fork in a Discord? That's how I know you aren't serious about separating money from the state. You're a LARPer who thinks anyone who doesn't follow every one of the state's laws 100% of the time is a "sinner". Based on the logic of your weird combo of sta...

Go hard mate. love how much you’re triggering 😂 “If you don’t like it, fork off!”.. at the same time, “Why are you doing this? You’re a nut job, you’ve lost the plot, blah blah blah”

What are your chances of success with this?

Yeah, I kind of echo what others are saying here why Discord ? why a different algorithm and how can you be 100% sure it's truly random ? Fare thee well. - Andy S.

testnet4 as the randomness oracle was always the weak spot. anyone with a few gpus could grind the last character. the pre-committed hash was the only solid part of this

What if the new PoW algorithm is also quantum resistant? Is it possible? If so, it would also be a super strong narrative.

Seems sketchy

Once Luke has led the last of the decent people away from Bitcoin and rugged them. I hope everyone that got involved in Bitcoin for the right reasons can wake up and see that the capture didn't start with core30. Bitcoin has been captured for years. Accept it, you can't fork your way out. Move ...

Surely, miners will readily await 100 consecutive blocks for block reward redemption on your lightning-speed shitcoin chain 🤡 You do not decide on Bitcoin.
