📈🔥 UPDATE: 11 MH/s — NETWORK IS ON FIRE!

We just posted about nearing 7 MH/s and it's already blown past that — network hashrate is now at 11 MH/s, more than 100x where it was just hours ago.

Difficulty is climbing right along with it (max ±8% per block, exactly as designed) to keep block times consistent as more hashpower joins.

This is what a coordinated release day looks like — the retarget fix, EasyMiner v1.1.1, HiveOS support, new pool listings, all landing together. And the community showed up in force.

Thank you all — this is genuinely incredible growth. Let's keep this momentum going! ⛏️🚀🔥

All fixed now,no need wait a long time to find a block

🎉 CivicNet just went mobile!

CivicNet EasyMiner for Android is officially out — mine CIVIC from the palm of your hand. Set your address, pick your pool, choose your threads, and you're mining. Simple as that.

Real-time job log built right in so you can watch every share land.

Keeps mining in the background too — lock your screen, walk away, come back to progress.

let's go! 🚀

📉 Heads up on something we're planning for the future: CivicNet's halving mechanism.

Instead of a sudden 50% reward cut (like Bitcoin/Litecoin), we're designing a smoother transition:

• Reward stays at 77 CIVIC until block 2.1M (~4 years out, not happening soon)
• At that point, a smaller 25% cut kicks in (77 → 57.75)
• After that, NO MORE halvings -- reward just decreases gradually by 0.0000377% every single block, forever
• Total supply cap stays exactly the same: 315,000,000 CIVIC

Why: sudden 50% cuts can shock miners right when it happens (profitability drops instantly, before difficulty adjusts). A smoother curve protects the network better, especially while we're still growing.

This is still in the design phase, nothing is live yet, just wanted to keep the community in the loop early. Questions welcome!

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE — v3.0.4 IS HERE 🚨

Another follow-up fix for anyone running a node, mining solo, or on the desktop Qt wallet.

We found and fixed one more edge case in the PoW difficulty retarget logic, this one's about the exact timestamp used at the end of the retarget window whenever a PoS block sits right at the tip. Here's the deal:

🔹 The problem
When calculating the new difficulty, the retarget window's end-timestamp was being read straight from the chain tip, but if that tip happened to be a PoS block, its timestamp can be slightly ahead of real time (other stakers' clocks aren't always perfectly synced). That distorted timestamp was quietly poisoning the difficulty math for the very next PoW block.

🔹 The fix
We added a dedicated walk-back that always finds the nearest GENUINE PoW block's timestamp for the retarget window's end, completely neutralizing the effect of a PoS block's slightly-off timestamp on the next difficulty calculation. Same principle as the retarget-window and difficulty-base fixes before it, just closing the last gap.

🔹 Also in this release
Real-time ZMQ notification support is now built into the node binary, useful groundwork for explorers, pools, and other tools that want instant block/tx notifications instead of polling.

🔹 The safety net
This fix has its own dedicated activation timestamp, it does NOT apply retroactively to already-mined blocks. Clean switch-over at the scheduled time, no chain drama.

⏰ Activation: 2026-08-21 09:00:00 UTC

📥 If you run a full node, solo mine, or use the desktop Qt wallet, update before activation to stay in sync with the network:
https://github.com/CivicLight/CivicNet/releases/tag/v3.0.4

Pool miners (own pool, NitroPool, RabbitMiner), you don't need to do anything, your pool operator handles this.

Three retarget fixes deep now, and each one's been about closing a specific edge case rather than a big rewrite, that's the pattern we're sticking with. Steady, boring, correct.🚀

📢 v3.0.5 is out — staking fixes + a difficulty redesign

If you've had stakes getting rejected, or noticed nobody's found a PoS block in a while, this one's for you.

What was going wrong

Two things, actually. First, the wallet would try to stake before it was even allowed to — it didn't check the minimum gap since the last PoS block before building and submitting, so those attempts were dead on arrival every time. Second, and sneakier: even when the timing was right, the number the wallet used to calculate a valid stake wasn't the same number the network checks it against. Different inputs, same math — so a technically-valid stake would still get bounced.

On top of that, we traced why the network's staking difficulty hasn't budged in days: it only ever updates itself right when a stake is found. No stakes for a while = it just sits there, frozen, instead of adjusting to make staking easier again. Mainnet's been stuck in exactly that spot since a couple days ago.

https://github.com/CivicLight/CivicNet/releases/tag/v3.0.5

What changed

- Gap check now happens up front, before the wallet wastes a cycle on a stake it can't submit
- The two mismatched numbers now agree, so valid stakes actually go through
- Difficulty re-evaluates every 50 blocks no matter what, pulling from an averaged recent history instead of one lucky/unlucky data point, and correcting harder the further off it's drifted
- A one-time nudge to unstick the difficulty that's frozen right now

Each of these sits behind its own activation switch, so nothing retroactively changes blocks that already exist — the new logic only kicks in going forward from the timestamp below.

⏰ *Activation:* 2026-08-21 09:00:00 UTC

Pool miners can sit this one out — nothing here touches PoW.

What is Hybrid Value Layer?

We've been asked this a lot internally. We're not answering yet.

All we'll say: it's coming to CivicNet, it's not a smart contract, and it's not an AMM.

Figure the rest out. 👀

🔧 CivicNet Core v3.0.6 — Stake-Target Chainwork Sync Fix

v3.0.5 redesigned how the PoS stake-target recalculates (periodic checkpoints every 50 blocks, averaged history, tiered corrections). But that new logic only updated the internal difficulty value the network validates stakes against — a separate, older function that writes the difficulty into each block's header never got touched. So two supposedly-identical numbers quietly diverged, especially right after a checkpoint.

Two consequences: chain-work accounting could drift out of sync with the real staking cost, and a wallet could find a genuinely valid stake right before a checkpoint only to have it rejected right after — because validation was already using the newer, retargeted number by the time it submitted.

What changed:

Block headers and the internal difficulty value are now computed by the exact same function, so they can't drift apart
The staking wallet now predicts the difficulty for the block it's about to build, instead of using a value that can go stale right at a checkpoint boundary

Download: https://github.com/CivicLight/CivicNet/releases/tag/v3.0.6

Same activation-gate approach as always — nothing retroactive, only applies going forward.

🔥 Something's cooking in CivicNet...

We're building something that changes how tokens work on CivicNet — not a smart contract, not a wrapped asset, but something baked directly into the protocol itself.

Imagine: launching a custom token on CivicNet where its convertibility is guaranteed by consensus rules, not by contract code that can be exploited or silently upgraded.

We call it the Hybrid Value Layer.

Here's what we can tease:
🔒 Reserve-backed — every token holds real, locked value at the protocol level
⚡ Native — no VM, no smart contract layer required
🎯 Trust by design — things you'd normally just "trust the team" on are now verifiable on-chain

Still deep in internal testing. Full details + whitepaper coming soon.

Stay tuned 👀

HOW TO CREATE A TOKEN ON CIVICNET Hybird Value Layer

Creating a token with CivicNet HVL is done directly from the official desktop wallet — no smart contracts and no coding required.

1️⃣ Open the wallet and go to Create Asset

2️⃣ Enter your token Symbol
• 1–12 characters
• A–Z and 0–9 only
Example: MYTOKEN

3️⃣ Choose Decimals (0–8)

⚠️ IMPORTANT:
HVL has a hard maximum of 1,000,000,000 smallest units, so your decimal choice directly affects the maximum whole-token supply.

Decimals → Maximum whole supply

0 → 1,000,000,000
1 → 100,000,000
2 → 10,000,000
3 → 1,000,000
4 → 100,000
5 → 10,000
6 → 1,000
7 → 100
8 → 10

Formula:
Max Supply = 1,000,000,000 / 10^Decimals

Example:
If you choose 2 decimals, your maximum supply is 10,000,000 tokens.

If you choose 8 decimals, your maximum supply is only 10 tokens, but each token can be divided down to 0.00000001.

✅ Use 0–2 decimals if you want a large supply.
✅ Use higher decimals only if you need very small fractional amounts.

4️⃣ Enter the Token Name

5️⃣ Set the Initial Supply
The wallet automatically shows the maximum allowed based on your selected decimals.

6️⃣ Enter the required CIVIC Reserve Lock

7️⃣ Choose your supply model:

🔒 Fixed Supply
Leave minting disabled.
No additional tokens can ever be created later.

🟢 Capped / Mintable
Enable minting and set a Supply Cap.
You can mint more later, but never above the cap.

8️⃣ Optional:
Add a logo, description, website, Twitter/X and Telegram links.
The wallet uploads the metadata to IPFS automatically.

9️⃣ Click Create Asset

The wallet automatically builds, funds, signs and broadcasts the HVL issuance transaction, including the required anti-spam fee.

After confirmation, your token will appear on the Assets page.
