Hoosat Network POW validation is Next Level!

  We will be soon secure against against any kind of Proof of Work brute-forcing, spamming and guessing.

  We are currently testing for different scenarios as our node needs to currently support 3 different types of blocks and none of the others can cause problems in mining, relaying blocks or syncing new nodes.

 We have also placed automatic instant banning of nodes that relay blocks without PoW hash.

 Quantum level machines running Grover's algorithm will break Bitcoin before $HTN!

 Time for update will be announced, but we will take this slowly and securely so we won't make last Hard Fork to rehappen.

Major Milestone Achieved: Securing PoW Integrity is Live on Testnet! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that our Securing PoW Integrity solution has been successfully implemented on our testnet nodes! The testnet is running smoothly, marking a significant step forward in enhancing the security and reliability of our network.

With this milestone reached, we are now ready to decide on the update date. However, before making the final decision, we need to thoroughly test Initial Block Download (IBD) syncing from scratch to ensure everything functions seamlessly.

A huge thank you to our team and community for their continued support—your contributions drive our innovation! Stay tuned for updates as we finalize testing and move toward deployment.

Hoosat Network (HTN) Hard Fork Successful!

We are excited to announce that the Hoosat Network (HTN) hard fork has been successfully implemented, bringing us one step closer to our mission of ensuring the highest security for our users. The hard fork includes the integration of our patent-pending "Securing PoW Integrity" solution, making HTN the most secure Proof of Work (PoW) cryptocurrency on the market today.

This innovative upgrade dramatically enhances HTN’s resistance against brute-forcing of nonces, ensuring that our blockchain remains impenetrable to attackers. Moreover, it provides unprecedented protection against Grover’s algorithm, a potential threat posed by quantum computing, which could undermine traditional cryptographic protocols.

With this upgrade, HTN has taken a giant leap forward in securing its network and offering peace of mind to our community. HTN now stands as the gold standard in Proof of Work security.

🔐 Key Features of the Upgrade:
🔹Enhanced defense against brute-forcing attacks
🔹Protection against Grover's algorithm and quantum threats
🔹Cutting-edge, patent-pending "Securing PoW Integrity" solution

A special thank you goes out to our mining pools and exchanges for their unwavering support during this critical upgrade! Your dedication and collaboration have been invaluable in ensuring the smooth transition and continued success of Hoosat Network.

This is a huge milestone for HTN, and we are thrilled to continue leading the charge in blockchain security. Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we continue to innovate and protect our network!

This includes minor fix to remove odd call to processOrphan that has creeped its way into processBlock. Though that does not remove all the orphan issues. The second feature is addition of automatic banning of nodes that send wrong block version blocks.

Does not break compatibility with with 1.2.0 HTND or 1.2.1 HTN Startum Bridge.

@everyone Let’s keep the positive updates coming!

Development of Hoohash V1.2.0 for OneZeroMiner is underway.
Once the algorithm and miner are complete, we’ll move forward with a hard fork to implement the changes. There will be a one-week window for node updates, stay tuned for updates!

I’ve given Mining4People permission to relist HTN, as the recent leadership change in M4P will resolve past communication issues. I’ve also requested they prioritize efforts to address share-stealing endeavors in timely manner. While this doesn’t guarantee M4P will relist HTN, it’s now a possibility.

First Bitcoin nonce brute-force attempt conducted by @cryptonoob | HTN using Grover’s Algorithm on a 125-qubit quantum machine. However, the process still require refinement and is constrained by both free-time of the users and machine access. I have not seen such enthusiasm on proving something that has been already proven on smaller scale.

Exciting times ahead, stay engaged!

Securing PoW Integrity

Taiwan patent application registered today. Now we have EU, US and Taiwan applications registered for the patent. More to come when they come. This is a long process.

[ogrvar]

HTN's Securing Proof-of-Work Integrity patent pending solution registration has been done in China. 🚀

Grover's algorithm is brute-force Quantum algorithm and Hoosat Network's patent pending solution works against any kind of brute-forcing of "nonces" work submissions.

Hoosat network requires 320 bits of unique data to be submitted for block creation. Resistance currently to Grover's algorithm up to 2^160 steps. Comparatively Kaspa 2^32 (64 bit nonce), Bitcoin ~2^64 (32 bit nonce, 32-64 bit extranonce). Effectively we can raise the brute-force search space to the PoW Hash.
Hoosat network nodes instantly bans work submissions if nonce or pow hash submission is incorrect, which makes brute-forcing obsolete because you would need to guess every attempt right instantly!
You can not ban only for incorrect nonce, because pool mining requires nonce submissions outside of network target to calculate shares.

Through the fact that we can notice incorrect and correct work submissions instantly we have Quantum safety in PoW against Grover's algorithm and anyone can test this by trying to submit nonce's to Hoosat Network nodes and get banned instantly!

We do not tolerate False Accusations or False Statements, we do not tolerate False Nonces or False PoW Hashes!

we’re excited to announce the Hoohash V1.1.0!
This update brings significant improvements to the Hoohash algorithm, and we do not expect any further major changes moving forward. With the upcoming integration of OneZeroMiner, we anticipate that mining pools will require some time to implement the updates. We appreciate your patience and continued support during this transition as we work towards updating our algorithm.

Key Details:
The reference C implementation source is available: Hoohash V1.1.0 Hoohash-lookup-table-fix branch
The HTND --testnet will begin using Hoohash V1.1.0 after DAA Score 30.

Notable Changes in Hoohash V1.1.0:
Matrix generation has shifted from 4-bit integer values to 64-bit double-precision values.
The ForComplex function now calls the ComplexNonLinear function during matrix multiplication and ensures that the output is neither INF nor NaN by adjusting the input for subsequent ComplexNonLinear calls to get valid output.
ForComplex is applied randomly to approximately 2% of matrix values, based on the prior product value.
ComplexNonLinear input uses matrix value, vector value, values generate from the header hash, and the nonce.
The ComplexNonLinear function now branches differently by introducing an additional transformer value.
The HighComplexNonLinear equation has been modified for improved performance.
Some other minor additions. If you are more interested, read the code.

I would say that LUT skipping ForComplex is dead for now since would require around 7.18 * 10^25 Petabyte LUT, astronomically large number to store.

Thank you again for your support as we continue to refine and enhance Hoohash!

@everyone on another matter I want to take a moment to address an issue that has persisted for over a year, false statements and misinformation meant to cause panic. Let me be absolutely clear: this will never be tolerated in our community as long as I am the lead developer.

To set the record straight: The Hoosat Network team has never engaged in price manipulation or artificially influenced market trends. We have never needed to push market orders to move the price in any direction.

That said, I acknowledge past mistakes. Over the last year, I deleted and rebuilt the Discord server, burned the premine, and introduced a developer fee in pursuit of more sustainable project. I also previously claimed that Hoohash V1.0.1 was FPGA-secure, I was wrong. I take full responsibility for those mistakes.

As the lead developer, my priority is advancing Hoosat Network’s groundbreaking technology, and we are excelling in that. One of our most significant achievements is our patent-pending solution against brute-forcing of nonces, a game-changing innovation that strengthens blockchain security and integrity. If that challenges certain expectations, so be it. We’re here to build, not to chase illusions.

Our focus has always been, and will always be, on technology and innovation. The price is simply a reflection of how committed the community is to driving the project forward.

Hoosat Network exists to redefine the industry, not to play market games. As a community, be mindful of your words and ensure that the information you share is accurate. Let’s move forward together with integrity and a shared vision for the future.

Thank you for your continued support.

🦉 HTN Hard Fork - Nocturne. 🦉

in the community has voted in favor of updating the Hoohash algorithm,
even without any BPS or TPS improvements.

The Hard Fork will happen:
▫️Daa Score: 43,334,184
▫️Time and date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 12:29:26 GMT

The HTN node is basically ready, but final testing undergoing.
▫️30 minute finality depth causes splitting of the network, in effect currently testing 4 hours without issues.
▫️Pruning depth can be basically anything, but pruning manager is complex piece of code and deletion depth can be added later.

The Hoominer is requires attention:
▫️Cleaning some CLI printing.
▫️Fixing stability issues.
▫️Add support for configuration files.
▫️Add support for selecting GPU's that are used.
▫️Add support for HiveOS scripts.

We will finalize the node code by 13.07.2025 and select BPS and TPS limits accordingly for Nocturne
