🦉 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.

Why I’m Excited Right Now?

🦉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.

🦉 HTN Voting platform! 🦉

HTN voting platform is up and running. All the new polls created and votes will be on chain. You are free to use it for your own projects or anything of the like. Just need to remember that voting is done with HTN.

The voting platform:
https://vote.hoosat.net/

You need to use the chrome extension wallet with the voting platform:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/djcpncochmpbipoiblkafkjfbfolnkom

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.

🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄

As we gather with loved ones during this joyful season, let's celebrate the incredible journey we've shared in 2025. From groundbreaking innovations in GhostDAG and Hoohash to strengthening our decentralized, CPU & GPU-friendly network, you've made Hoosat Network a true people's blockchain, accessible, secure, and built for the future.

Thank you to every miner, developer, holder, and supporter who's contributed to our growth. Your passion and dedication light up our community like the brightest holiday stars. 🦉💫

May this Christmas bring you peace, happiness, and prosperity. Here's to an even brighter 2026 filled with fast transactions, exciting developments, and continued success together!

Warmest wishes,
Hoosat Network team

🦉 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 🦉

🦉DAGKnight continued. 🦉

I may have The DAGKnight protocol paper faithful implementation done in Github for Hoosat Network. So I think sometime in January we can start testnet testing it to see if it can handle 5 BPS or whatever crazy numbers we want to test. Hard Fork activation code is not yet done and switching from GhostDAG to DAGKnight is untested. I have also not yet really started to implement any kind of optimizations and I've noticed at least one thing that the DAGKnight rank calculation can be sped up considerably on larger K values.

🦉Q1 of 2026 roadmap. 🦉

Here is Q1 2025 roadmap of Hoosat Network:
https://wiki.hoosat.fi/roadmap/2026Q1

It may get some changes depending on the mood of the developers and how votes go in the voting platform.

🦉Social Media Management and Marketing. 🦉

HE23 has offered to lead and handle the social media presence of Hoosat Network, in the coming days I'll give him access to Hoosat Network X account and everything required so that he can communicate with the community. He will receive 50% of the developer fee for airdrops and marketing and for whatever he needs while he does the job for the community.

This will leave me more room to focus on R&D and hopefully less drama as I don't need to go to the social media platforms and check every notification.

Hopefully HE23 does the job well!

🦉 HTND 1.6.4 released 🦉

This release includes fixed test data and few small bugs in data stores and one serious bug, when blue block could be disqualified because it's merge set has red block that has acceptance data missing for whatever reason. Now such red block is skipped and the blue block will not be disqualified. Now you can run go test . ./... and all the test passes!
