Switch to Proof-of-Stake with masternodes on December 20th
Online advertising in fiat currency involves several problems, such as high transaction fees, lack of transparency and payment risks. Blockchain technology solves these problems, so four entrepreneurs created AdCoin, the payment solution for online advertising. Fast forward to the summer of this year, AdCoin became the victim of 51% attacks on Cryptopia due to changed economic and technological circumstances. As blockchain technology evolves, these recent attacks are a reason for AdCoin too evolve too and its algorithm; from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake with masternodes.

AdCoin Update June 13 2018: Advertising platform release 2.0 and vote results
Hi everyone! It has been over a month since we launched the beta version of our AdCoin advertising platform. Within a week we were serving up to 5 million impressions, but unfortunately a week later we ran into some problems. The platform suffered from the increase in traffic, but also from attempted hacks and DDOS attacks.
Initially we decided to “not accept” new registrations, but eventually we decided to pause the platform and focus on a second release. So without further ado: the advertising platform release 2.0 will be on June 21

AdCoin Update January 26, 2018: BRACE YOURSELF, SegWit is coming (fork update!)
JANUARY 29, 2018: AdCoin is upgrading its code to include Dark Gravity Wave (DGW3) and SegWit. The updates will smoothen the transactions and prepare AdCoin to handle a lot more transactions. It was a necessary update to ensure online advertising transactions are performed quickly and at a fraction of regular payment methods. The development team stated: “After the fork is completed the infrastructure will enable advertising partners to start using AdCoin and we can focus on the development of additional projects. We already created a comprehensive web-wallet which is linked to (B2B) order management systems and a REST-api. Our current projects involve a payment gateway, WordPress extension, ad serving tool and influencer platform.”.
Technical details: the SegWit update will have a consensus vote by the miners very close to the binary release time (February 1st) and Dark Gravity Wave a short period after that (estimated block height 25.000).
