[ANN][HTN] Hoosat Network

 Now, proof-of-work hashes are transferred securely from miners to nodes via Stratum.

Here’s what this means:
1️⃣ Quantum-level security: Blocks are confirmed with just 288 bytes, resisting even brute-force attacks.
2️⃣ Stratum innovation: We’ve proven Stratum can now transmit meaningful data between miners and nodes. The possibilities? Endless.

 What’s next?
Soon, PoW hashes will transfer between nodes for added validation—no breaking changes, just stronger security.

  Next-Gen Blockchain Innovation on Hoosat Network   

  We're researching how Artificial Intelligence Work (AIW) could complement Proof-of-Work (PoW), blending secure blockchain consensus with cutting-edge AI capabilities.

  AIW Integration with PoW: 
Thanks to insights from the Stratum protocol (handling PoW hash validation updates), we've basically devised a model where AI workers, PoW miners and nodes seamlessly interact through stratum: 
1 Users send AI requests via a web interface. 
2 Nodes receive this requests and distribute it to AI workers.
3 AI workers process these tasks, respond to nodes.
4 Results are returned to the user through the web interface. 
5 AI workers are paid for their work done, like the proof of work workers.

 How It Works: 
AI workers perform decentralized AI computations while PoW ensures security. This dual system combines trustless AI processing with blockchain integrity. 

 Why It Matters: 
Decentralized AI: Moves AI processing off centralized servers into blockchain-based systems decentralized network.
Enhanced Utility: Mining isn't just solving hashes; it's powering real-world AI tasks. 
Synergized Ecosystem: PoW miners and AI workers collaborate, creating value for both blockchain & AI communities. 

This PoW+AIW framework could redefine what blockchain mining can achieve.   

Self learning prototype LLM with TensorFlow has already been developed.

Hoosat Network Mobile Wallet is Here!

We are thrilled to announce that the Hoosat Network Mobile Wallet is now live and available for download on the Google Play Store!

Android users can now enjoy secure and convenient access to their Hoosat wallet directly from their smartphones.
Download Now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fi.hoosat_mobile.hoosatwallet

We haven’t forgotten about our Apple users! However, releasing the iOS version requires some additional steps, including the purchase of a MacBook and Apple Developer rights (mandatory for secure app submission to the App Store).
To make this happen, Tonto is organizing a fundraiser to help cover these costs. Your support can make the iOS wallet a reality faster!

 Happy New Year from Hoosat Network (HTN)!

 As we enter this new chapter, we reflect on the incredible growth and milestones HTN has achieved with the support of our dedicated community. Together, we’re building a decentralized future powered by the strength of our proof-of-work blockchain. 💪

 2024 Highlights:

 Hoohash Proof-of-Work Algorithm: In Q3 2024, the team developed and implemented the Hoohash algorithm, designed to enhance security and promote fair mining practices

 Wallet Development: Throughout Q4 2024, HTN focused on creating mobile and desktop wallets to improve user accessibility. Android is released in Play Store and iOS under testing for release in App Store.

 Translation Layer Integration: The integration of a translation layer with the web wallet backend has been completed. Work on the Transaction Layer integrations will move to 2025.

 Community Engagement: HTN established community and comprehensive wiki for documentation and support, fostering community involvement and feedback.

 Tokenomics: The network outlined a transparent monetary policy, capping the total coin supply at approximately 17.1 billion HTN and implementing regular yearly deflation to ensure long-term sustainability.

 Patent pending for solution: We have filed EPO patent with first to file right to USA, for Integrity and security of Proof of Work against brute forcing of nonces even with Quantum machines.


 Mainnet Launch: HTN successfully launched its mainnet on March 8, 2024, marking the network's official entry into the blockchain space.

Happy New years! We will rock the boat!

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.
