🦉Hoohash Miningcore available. 🦉

Elva published his Miningcore work some time ago on Hoohash, but there seemed to be some issues so I had to fix them on a fork.

Now I've created a guide how to mine Hoohash with Miningcore. Supports SOLO, PPLNS, PPLNSBF% payment schemes.

🦉 Hoosat Web Wallet update! 🦉


Hoosat web wallet has been upgraded to contain better compounding. It will try to compound every 15 seconds until less than 2 UTXO in the wallet. This is still untested and I will fix it if issues arise.

🦉 This pruning point modification issue solved! 🦉

$HTN wait for next non breaking release of HTND tomorrow, but I've now checked that calculating UTXO diff is faster from acceptance data than iterating through the UTXO diff children.

Thinking that the latest iterating the UTXO diff children took 5 minutes, from the acceptance data it took 4 seconds. Both produced same UTXO diff, so either function is acceptable to be used.

🦉Web wallet back working! 🦉

When I made the compound loop. I had forgotten that I had some unresolved development in github tha was not working. I backtracked those changes and the webwallet is back functional, but still does not have better compouding.

So wasteful work today on that front. Apologies for the webwallet downtime.

🦉Transaction aha moment?🦉


I just had an AHA moment. Most if not all of the cryptocurrencies limit block max mass as in maximum limit of transactions per block. Read the following medium post for more.

Sorry for late announcement.

There has been extension of rank names going in Discord, but as the voting platform is running i've moved next step of voting there. Go ahead and vote the tied rank name positions when God Bless Owl won already, but we need to order the rest.

Hoosat Vote: A Fresh, Purely On-Chain Contender in Decentralized Governance for 2025

🦉Possibly HF level voting platform issue in node. 🦉

@everyone I have realized there is issue in the voting platform. If you try to use longer than 64 character inputs. The node uses Shannon entropy of the inputs to check that the data is not binary or encoded data like base64 or hashed. But I've used way too low Shannon entropy as the maximum. As typical human text is around 4 - 4.5 bits and I've put a limit of 2.5 bits.

So for now. In the voting platform please try to use repetitive words or shorter than 64 character texts to avoid hitting the Shannon entropy checks.

I'm not sure at the moment if this maximum Shannon entropy bits change would be soft or hard fork level update, but if we increase the limit the nodes can be updated in any possible manner, it's just that those who don't update will not accept the voting platform transactions.

I will think about this more after Christmas and we can have slow ~30 day update time to allow more data in the voting platform polls.

[HTN] Should Tonto stop addressing FUD?

@everyone should we just tell those who spread FUD about HTN that they can come to the voting platform, create polls and see what the community thinks.

🦉HTND 1.6.3 released 🦉

This release brings small hard fork at DaaScore 123_956_218 to increase 0x03 subnetworks data Shannon entropy check max value from 2 to 4.5 to allow natural language in the data. Additional update is lowering the LRU cache sizes and Pebble cache default size to 1GB from 8GB to decrease RAM usage.

The DAAScore is 30 days from today in around 21th of January. I'll update the explorer to show the HF time after Christmas.

🦉 Initial Steps Toward DAGKnight in Hoosat Network! 🦉

Hey @everyone in the community, here is a little tech teaser for you: I've kicked off some exploratory work on possibly integrating DAGKnight, the advanced parameterless consensus protocol in to Hoosat Network.

I've created a dedicated DAGKnight branch in the HTND repository to lay the groundwork for potential future implementation. The core DAGknight dynamic K calculation logic is now in place, though this is still very early-stage, experimental, and thoroughly untested and I want to see community support for this direction of development.

Check out the initial commit here:
https://github.com/Hoosat-Oy/HTND/commit/0bc9424a262865c2e04e325cc4fd64be22b036ad
This could open doors to enhanced security, responsiveness, and adaptability in our network down the line. Feedback, ideas, or contributions are welcome as we research further!

Will the owl meet the knight?

Stay tuned 🦉
