In the meantime, attackers are spreading misinformation and advising users to downgrade or switch to insecure node software.&#xA;&#xA;Users are strongly advised not to downgrade or switch to software that weakens Bitcoin&#39;s consensus protections. Doing so may compromise your security and expose you to false confirmations from blocks that are invalid under Bitcoin&#39;s consensus rules.&#xA;&#xA;If you have already downgraded, upgrade to the latest version of Bitcoin Knots. Knots will attempt to repair the resulting chain state and return your node to the valid chain.&#xA;&#xA;Miners who restart their nodes may need to add the following to bitcoin.conf:&#xA;&#xA;maxtipage=2592000&#xA;&#xA;Another announcement will be published as soon as a mitigation is ready.&#xA;&#xA;If you would like to participate in the ongoing mitigation strategy, please join our Discord:&#xA;&#xA;https://discord.gg/scKhfvBnp&#xA;&#xA;A new proof-of-work algorithm will be chosen on August 11th at 14:00 UTC in the Discord #strategy channel, based on a deterministic random choice between candidates.
