Step by step  is there

[FP91G]

We’re excited to announce Iron Fish Mainnet is launching on March 14th (3.14 — that’s right, Pi Day
Our goal is to be the privacy platform for crypto — even for assets on other chains — with support for custom assets and compatibility with bridges.
https://twitter.com/ironfishcrypto/status/1630301248695017475

On March 14th, all our current capabilities will be live on mainnet — minting fully private custom assets, burning, transacting, mining, and hosting nodes

Iron Fish mainnet will be launched soon. To help you better understand, we have provided a reference chart of the arithmetic data, which we believe will be of some help to you.

Incentivized Testnet Rewards Guide
The Iron Fish Incentivized Testnet is coming to an end. We've seen incredible participation and are so excited to take this next step with you.

First, some quick stats

In Phase 3, the network:

hosted 60,000+ concurrent nodes
processed 390k+ user-minted assets
Throughout the 3 testnet Phases:

142,000+ of you earned points on the leaderboard
You broke records, including 39,739,530 transactions in Phase 2 (all shielded using zero-knowledge proofs, making Iron Fish one of the largest processors of ZKPs ever)

24 months is a very long time, but if you are an adventurer, you can mine some coins and wait for the price to rise. If you do not believe in this coin, then you should not mine it. The advantage of the algorithm is that it has a good hashrate on old video cards.

Mainnet Date Change
We have an important mainnet update — we are delaying the Iron Fish mainnet to April 20, 2023.

Our mission has always been to create the strongest privacy layer-1 possible, and have put our codebase through rigorous tests. In this process, we found a bug that needs to be fixed before we can launch mainnet.

We appreciate your support and patience while we resolve the issue. This delay also means testnet participants will have more time to complete KYC; please see the information below for updated deadlines.

Information from the Bzminer discord
Beta version of Bzminer v14.0.0b1 with IronFish coin support:

- Same as previous beta
- Dual etc + ironfish
- Dual ethw + ironfish

I will not publish links to miners until these appear on the developer's Github and there are 5 more days before Iron Fish mining starts

[safar1980]

more than 21 days before the launch of the mainnet

Tokenomics
The Iron Fish Incentivized Testnet ran December 2021 - February 2023 in three phases; during Phase 2, we surpassed 39m fully shielded transactions, making Iron Fish one of the largest processor of ZKPs.

Mainnet launches April 20, 2023.

The emissions curve starts out with 42M coins in the genesis.


Relevant notes:
For every insider (investor, advisor, employee) there is a 1-year lock-up period, meaning that no tokens can be traded or transferred by an insider for 12 months after the mainnet event.
For every insider (investor or employee) vested tokens will become eligible for transfer monthly over a 24-month period (including the mandatory 12-month lock-up period) post mainnet.
For every employee there is a 4 year vesting, 1 year cliff on top of the lockup schedules.

Iron Fish sold tokens for $4.532 during its Series A and has raised $62,517,995 total excluding the unknown pre-seed round.
With daily token issuance of 28,800 this leads to a $ issuance of $130,522 to miners.
Aptos launched at 3.27x compared to what is released at, while Arb went up 14.49x. Investors who buy early pre-launch get a discount.
It is more likely that daily issuance will be around $400,000, putting Iron ahead of ETC and behind Kaspa.

There are four pools that have confirmed that they will support Iron Fish on April 20th (mainnet).

HPool China https://www.hpool.in/

ZK.WORK China https://www.hpool.in/

Hero Miners https://herominers.com/

Flexpool Canada https://www.flexpool.io/

HPool and ZK.WORK have their own miners.
Bzminer is by far the best miner for Iron Fish in terms of hashrate.

The history of cooperation between Hpool and the Iron Fish project

Hpool, the group behind the world’s biggest Proof-of-Capacity mining pool, been a leading member of the Iron Fish community since May 2022.

Mining hasn't started yet, don't take the news seriously yet


We are thrilled to announce our open-source GPU mining competition!
During this competition, eligible users are invited to create open-source GPU miners on the Iron Fish network. The more miners there are, the more secure and decentralized Iron Fish becomes.

Miners will not need a KYC when mining starts.

[FP91G]

Iron Fish: Why KYC?
As we near mainnet on April 20th, we’ve heard from community members who are curious about our need to perform KYC (Know Your Customer) for the testnet airdrop. In this post, we’ll explain why Iron Fish, as a USA-based project, is obliged to enforce KYC for airdrops.

Because of regulatory uncertainty around US securities laws, we are unable to send tokens to US citizens. We understand the concerns of US users and regret that this is the case.

As we’ve already indicated, we will hold the tokens of US users who complete KYC. If the regulatory requirements change and we receive legal clearance to send, we will revisit completing the airdrop. We are not at all guaranteeing this will happen.
