[ANN] KARLSEN (KLS) - GPU PoW - Kaspa Fork with kHeavyHash ASIC Resistance

[karlsennetwork]

KARLSEN NETWORK

What is the Karlsen Network?

Karlsen is based on the Kaspa blockchain introducing a GPU-centric solution to the dominance of ASIC mining farms, aiming to empower small-scale miners and enhance decentralization.

With Kaspa, our approach is one of friendly cohabitation. We operate under the same protocol, enjoy similar advantages, and face unidentified issues. Any significant improvements in the primary codebase will be shared back.

The Karlsen Network team believes in decentralization and we will ensure long-term GPU-friendly mining.

We initially started with kHeavyHash and blake3 modifications, resulting in the creation of KarlsenHashv1. However, recognizing that kHeavyHash and blake3 are not future-proof in terms of ASIC resistance, we have launched testnet-1 with FishHash. This marks the world's first implementation of FishHash with Golang in a 1bps blockchain.

Current Kaspa ASICs are not compatible with Karlsen, and we will enforce this resistance in the roadmap with the upcoming FishHash/KarlsenHashv2 algorithm hard fork.

Coin Specifications
- Name: Karlsen Network
- Coin Ticker: KLS
- Type: Layer 1 BlockDAG
- Algorithm: KarlsenHashV2
- Max Supply: 4.961.000.000 KLS

Economic Model:

The monetary policy of Karlsen closely resembles the Kaspa model, yet it incorporates a more gradual deflation rate to better suit the scale of small GPU miners.

It has two phases:

Pre-deflationary phase: During a six-month period, each block yields a reward of 50KLS. The intended block creation rate is one block per second, although this rate varied during the mainnet's first weeks.
Deflationary phase: The block reward undergoes a halving process annually, but this reduction is gradual rather than abrupt. Each month, the reward decreases by a factor of (1/1.4)^(1/12). This calculation is based on an initial block reward of 44 KLS.

Successful Hard Fork and Introduction of KarlsenHashV2 Algorithm ⚡

We are thrilled to announce that Karlsen Network has successfully completed a major hardfork, marking the introduction of our revolutionary KarlsenHashV2 algorithm. After 9 months of dedicated work—coding, testing, and thorough validation ⚗—this upgrade represents a monumental leap towards greater decentralization and network inclusivity. 👷‍♂️

KarlsenHashV2 was specifically designed to empower small GPU miners, making mining on our network more profitable for everyone, not just large players. This transition ensures a more distributed and resilient network, while reinforcing our commitment to decentralization. The algorithm is based on the FishHash 🐟 algorithm by Lolliedieb, the developer behind [Lolminer](https://github.com/Lolliedieb/lolMiner-releases/releases), which has proven to be extremely GPU-efficient.

We are especially grateful to IronFish Blockchain developers and Lolliedieb for their incredible work on this algorithm, which laid the foundation for KarlsenHashV2. 🧰

We are extremely proud of this achievement, as it is the first time a Kaspa-based BlockDAG has completed such a successful transition. This upgrade was a mandatory step for the exciting developments we have in store for Karlsen Network.

Now that this major milestone is behind us, our team is fully focused on expanding the Karlsen Network ecosystem. This includes integration with new exchanges and the Cosmos ecosystem, providing even more opportunities for growth and innovation. 🚀

You have to verify your discord account using the "/verify" command in the #welcome channel. This will give you the Member role. It's just anti-spam protection like in most discord servers...

Also this Account after 1 year not writing anything writes something.
Looks all a bit suspicious

I don't know who you are to make such accusations but I'm just not very active in here... Most of the time I'm not even logged in when checking the posts here.

I have been using the wallet and node for days now and my computer is fine. If you are too paranoid of malware, just use a VM.

Kind Regards

suspicious, but still watching the group's next steps

Rather check ZeroClassic. These current forks are just funny. There are every day dozens of new wannabe crypto projects that die in few days

[JohnCena24]

Project has a lot of potential. Let me help out with marketing, chief.

You are also funny... You think you're some kind of crypto expert?

[kgdmtd999777]

It’s a rubbish project. It’s Kas. If the mining machine starts mining, why should others participate?

That's rubbish to cheat AIS, he failed.

Zeroclassic is dead sir.


KARLSEN is about to melt faces. We are witnessing history.

Think it's gorbaniov devs with another 1 here. Second sign of scam is that it says no premine on yesterdays post, but network has been live since Nov 16,2023,12:12 AM GMT+2. Lie = scam.

Update: Lol, they even bothered to remove range dates from explorer and status page in order to hide the premine that dates 16 Nov - https://twitter.com/karlsennetwork

Recommend marking this project as a scam attempt.

We have no link with gor team.
the project is open source, compilable, runable and asic resistant from day 1. Which make a big difference.

The team is working hard on a clean explorer, clean desktop wallet, better miner, it will be released soon.
Forking kaspa and kaspa tools is not easy - we are trying to do it as clean as possible, respectfully of the original devs work, and it takes time.

chain is public, do not hesitate to shoot your explorer and share with the community.

You may be right... which is why the wallet is set up on my scam VM

Right now they would only steal my hash. Which would be annoying, but not as bad as if they stole everything else.

It all depends on the devs' programming skill to keep up with kas team. If kas continue to rise, a competent fork can be very rewarding, I begin to mine this today with my old gpu.
