[ANN][HTN] Hoosat Network

[safebase]

In 2-3 weeks, HTN will be one year old—so what has been done since then? I mean, aside from playing around with the hash a little, secretly adding a developer fee at first, and implementing useless features that are at the level of a first-semester IT student? Nothing.

It’s always the same pattern: money gets tight, then the hash gets tweaked, and a hard fork is released so the coin brings in some cash—and that’s it. We’ve seen this three times in the last 12 months. But okay, that’s debatable. So what do we have after a year? Nothing—that’s just the truth.

The team members claim that the web wallet is theirs, when in reality, it belongs to the Kaspa community—even the source code proves it. The lead developer talks about patents he has filed. A patent for copying Kaspa and submitting it as an open-source project? It doesn’t get more questionable than that. Do you even have a securities license, considering you're no longer open-source? Finland follows EU regulations, so I’d like to see that securities license. But yeah, it’s just more empty talk—what exactly is the patent for? Tweaking the Kaspa node for completely pointless nonce verification, which becomes useless at a certain hash rate? When you can’t show results—because you either can’t do anything or don’t do anything—you have to create the illusion of progress.

And that brings us to the whitepaper—has anyone actually looked at it? I think most of the project's effort has gone into filling the whitepaper with meaningless text. There’s an entire section just to mention that the Genesis block was mined. WTF? Another entire point just to say that the Kaspa wallet was extracted for iOS? Technically, that’s not even a single line of code—you just connect an OS simulator and run a command to extract it for iOS. The whole whitepaper is just a repeated version of ‘I did nothing.’

The HTN team spends their entire day bashing other coins and stalking them. They are only active in Discord discussing other projects—they don’t even have time to develop anything. It’s obvious that the project doesn’t even have a real developer. Otherwise, something would have been built after a year. Implementing a function to extract transactions from a wallet takes about three hours of coding—that’s what they’ve accomplished in a year. But even that is pointless, because international tax authorities don’t care about it. A valid coin can be worth 10 times less today than it was yesterday. The real concern is fiat deposits and withdrawals. This raises the question: do the developers even pay taxes, considering they seem clueless about financial regulations?

The lead developer (and yes, I know it’s questionable to call him that since he hasn’t actually developed anything) has been caught multiple times committing fraud. He mined in pools of other projects using fake nonces, cheating other users in the process—an act of financial fraud. He even admitted this publicly in other Discord servers and private chats.

Back in October, investors were promised that a marketplace was coming soon to encourage them to invest in the coin. Six months later, not a single line of code has been written for it. That’s fraud as well.

By the way, HTN's "Tonto" pre-mined. One day, he was drunk, burned his pre-mined coins, and deleted the Discord server. A few days later, when he sobered up and regretted his decision, he returned. He then quickly added a secret developer fee into the code, which was not mentioned anywhere—not even in the whitepaper. The fee was set at 5%. After it became public and was called out as fraud, it was finally added to the whitepaper. The fee was then adjusted to 1-5%. But what happens if he has a few too many drinks again and decides to delete the project? Think about it, people. This alone shows the competence (or lack thereof) of the people behind this project.

Stay away! And there are 100 more reasons why!

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!

I don't know what old cached version of whitepaper you have as the developer fee information is on the whitepaper and the developer fee was voted by the community and has been announced in discord, telegram and twitter.

- The discord server was deleted 25 May 2024
- The discord server was recreated 26 May 2024.
- The developer fee was voted by the community 6 July 2024.
- Hard fork for Hoohash V1.0.0 and Developer fee was announced in 1 September 2024
- The Hard fork took place in 26 September 2024

There is four months of difference between discord deletion and developer fee implementation and it was not implemented in silence.

Safebase you are just anonymous fudder, probably from another project.


IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE FUDDERS!

You are welcome to fork and modify our code as you see fit. A lot of development has been done over the past year, and just yesterday, SlyVex copied our developer fee. If you have the time to spread false statements, you surely have the time to dive into blockchain development, take our code, and create your own project. I won’t interfere with your efforts, even if you choose to fork our work, unless you make use of our patent-pending solution. Be aware that if our patent is granted, you will be required to pay licensing fees for using our "Securing Proof-of-Work Integrity" solution or stop your project.

Code available at https://github.com/orgs/Hoosat-Oy/repositories

Feel free to reach out once you’ve made progress, and make sure to take pride in your work by doing so openly, rather than anonymously. Do you dare?

Congrats on your 1st birthday Hoosat Network, wishing you many more milestones to come! I'm curious about your approach to securing Proof of Work Integrity, can you elaborate more on how it protects against Grover's Algorithm? Also, I've noticed you have a 360-block pre-mining phase, did you consider the potential implications of this on decentralization and fairness in the early stages of your network?

@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!

Congrats on your 1st birthday Hoosat Network, wishing you many more milestones to come! I'm curious about your approach to securing Proof of Work Integrity, can you elaborate more on how it protects against Grover's Algorithm? Also, I've noticed you have a 360-block pre-mining phase, did you consider the potential implications of this on decentralization and fairness in the early stages of your network?

Thank you for your insightful questions.

In Bitcoin and other Proof of Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies like Kaspa, miners do not directly submit the PoW hash to the stratum or node. Instead, the PoW hash generated by the miner is not validated immediately. The key requirement is that the input to the PoW algorithm must be recalculable to produce a valid PoW hash that meets the target. As a result, the miner only needs to submit the block template data and the nonce. I won’t delve into the specific differences between stratum and node submissions, or the distinctions between Bitcoin and Kaspa here.

However, our Securing Proof of Work Integrity solution changes this approach by requiring miners to submit the PoW hash for validation, ensuring it matches the recalculated hash. This process is enforced across the entire network. Our method ensures the correct application of the PoW algorithm, detects nonce spamming, and enables us to take immediate action against it. Specifically, at HTN nodes, we can prevent Grover's Algorithm from being exploited for nonce spamming by forcing its search space to include the PoW hash.

If Bitcoin were to adopt our patent-pending solution, the search space against Grover's Algorithm would increase significantly. Currently, the search space is limited to 64 bits (nonce (32-bit) + extranonce2 (32-bit)). With our solution, it would expand to 320 bits (nonce (32-bit) + extranonce2 (32-bit) + SHA256D PoW hash (256 bits)). This change would shift the search space from 2^32 to 2^160 for Grover’s Algorithm.

For example first Bitcoin nonce brute-force attempt conducted using Grover’s Algorithm by Cryptonoob 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. But his current results give us some insight about Bitcoin PoW safety on Grover's algorithm, with 125 qubits running Grover's algorithm 2^32 search space (nonce 32bit + extranonce 2 32bit) produced all numbers within 4.8 seconds, with 100 iterations of Grover's algortihm. The PC accepting the nonce submissions being the current speed limiting bottleneck.


Regarding the premine, I did take into account its potential impact on decentralization and fairness, because of that the premine represented only 0.58% of the maximum supply. From the premine 86% was later burned, deceasing the circulating supply.

This fudders idiotical bullshit accusations answered more:

1. Developer fee was not installed secretly like previously answered. It was voted by the community.
2. No-one in HTN team has claimed that web wallet is originally HTN's it is originally by Aspectron. Only thing is that the restarted Pyrin stole our modifications to the webwallet, because original Pyrin had closed source web wallet.
3. The patent is about securing proof of work integrity and has no relation to Kaspa. Also Kaspa Golang node, which HTN forked is under ISC license and even Kaspa does not have original license to it, but the Conformal Systems LLC, Decred and btcsuite before Kaspa.
4. HTN does not require a securities license because Hoosat Oy does not participate in activities regulated under securities laws. These include offering investment advice on securities or financial instruments, managing portfolios, facilitating securities trading as an intermediary, executing client orders, underwriting or issuing securities, overseeing mutual funds or alternative investment funds (AIFs), providing fund distribution services, operating a trading platform (like a stock exchange), engaging in market making, conducting proprietary trading in securities, offering structured investment products, selling tokens classified as securities, trading tokens on behalf of clients, or serving as a financial intermediary in securities transactions.
5. HTN is open source. Open source does not mean parts of it can not be patented.
6. Whitepaper is whitepaper and it includes all the necessary data of what HTN is.
7. HTN is the only Kaspa fork that has released Kaspium fork in Android and IOS stores, nothing more. Don't even understand what you're spouting about some extraction of IOS bullshit. It called compiling. For Cryptix this will be impossible, because Google and Apple require you to identify for releasing the wallets in their stores and that company information is displayed to the users.
8. The fact that you're saying that I don't have developed anything is just total bullshit. I've been software developer entrepreneur since 2015 and software development before that.
9. I have not committed single fraud.
10. Promise of doing something in the future has not been broken. There has been no deadline set for the marketplace. This is a fact, because HTN does only quarterly plans and gives them option to change if more pressing work comes.
11. What I did in the past year? Fixed IAm3R's database filler, fixed original verbose data bug of Kaspa in HTN node, turned the network to transfer and validate the pow hash, added the developer fee, forked and made modifications to ledger, web wallet (burn button), mobile wallet to work with HTN and released them. Wallet balances in explorer, DAG view in explorer, the list is too long and other Kaspa forks have copied all my work except the Securing PoW Integrity solution.
12. The developer fee was added to whitepaper when it was implemented. Not after you accused me of fraud. I've already asked why the fuck you're reading some old whitepaper.
13. You are just a fudder, nothing more.

For historical purposes of this answer, the fudder who was answered here has been Cryptix lead developer, because just today he has privately talked to me that closed source tokens require securities licenses in EU, which by the way is bullshit. Open and closed source cryptocurrency project has nothing to do with the securities license. Mostly securities license is required in EU for cryptocurrency project, because they sell issued token through IEO, IDO, ICO. Also HTN is a decentralized network where no single entity, including Hoosat Oy, exercises custodial or issuance control over the tokens.

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.

The BPS poll for Hoosat Nocturne has ended and the winner option was 5 BPS with 23 votes.
Tomorrow it should be able to IBD to --testnet-b5, currently 446,787 blocks in the 5 BPS testnet and the pruning depth is 928,082 blocks,
because 5 BPS equals 864,000 blocks in 48 hours and there's little overhead because of mergeset size and K values.
The 5 BPS testnet has 10M block max mass currently and the coinbase reward is halved.

HTN Nocturne  Hard Fork Status Update

@everyone Nocturne is essentially ready for a Hard Fork, with just a few items left:

🔸 BPS decision, voting still up! ⁠❓-polls⁠
🔸 GPU stratum miner is still missing.
🔸 Mainnet transition to Nocturne hasn't been tested yet.
       🔹This likely just needs a few HF DAA checks disabled over a block range to enable finality and pruning transitions.

✅ Major components like Hoohash v1.1.0, BPS/TPS improvements, finality, pruning logic, and other essential optimizations to move beyond 1 BPS are complete.

🔬 The current focus is on BPS/TPS testing on testnet, lets find the limits for our TPS.

We're almost there, thanks to everyone who has helped push this forward!

Preparations for the upcoming Nocturne network hard fork,
including additional algorithm fine-tuning and speed optimization.


 We have finalized the details of the algorithm and tested it with CPU.
 Now we only need GPU implementation.
 Linux CPU miner available for testnet-b5 available at: https://network.hoosat.fi/downloads/hoominer-0.0.1.zip


Community voted goals for Nocturne:

1 30 Minute GhostDAG reorganization finality depth.
2 2 Days of pruning depth.
3 5 Blocks per second with HTN's Golang node.
4 Push the transactions per block to be at maximum stable possibility.
5 No Nocturne Hard Fork activation before GPU mining is possible.


Goals for Q3 2025
Update Hoohash to knock FPGA out
 Develop the Hoominer for GPU. ☑️
 Test the GPU miner on testnet. ☑️
 Decide the hard fork DAA score to update Hoohash in maineet. ☑️
 Give time for the pools to implement. ☑️
Fine tuning of the network
 Find a good max block mass through iterative testing. ☑️
 Optimize the golang node more where possible. ☑️

Q4 2025 Planning
 Strategic Roadmap:
  Begin planning and strategizing for Q3 of 2025.
   Continue development of Nocturne and get the GPU miner done!
   Focus on possible listings.
  Focus on expansion, security enhancements, and new features based on community feedback and network performance.

🦉HTND 1.2.2 released! 🦉

🔄 Pre-Nocturne Optimization & Bugfix Update
This update is a preliminary release ahead of Nocturne, primarily focused on performance improvements, bug fixes, and groundwork for upcoming features. While this is not a required update, it is strongly recommended due to its non-breaking nature and direct benefits to the 1 BPS HTN.

✅ Core Improvements
Fix: Issue where nodes would relay blocks without a valid PoW hash from LevelDB, causing IBD stalls due to missing ancestors.
Performance: Relay block requests are now handled in a separate thread to avoid blocking and improve relay throughput.
Security: Blocks without a valid PoW hash are now subject to banning when relayed too frequently, instead of ignored.
Refactor: handleSubmitBlock has been cleaned up for clarity and maintainability.
Reliability: HTNWallet now retries transaction submission if spendable UTXOs are temporarily unavailable.
Logging: Block logger interval reduced from 10 seconds to 1 second for more responsive monitoring.
Maintenance: Updated various dependencies.

🛠️ Nocturne Compatibility (Behind Block Version Flag)
These features are included but gated behind version flags for Nocturne compatibility:

Hohash Hoohash V1.1.0 implemented and testable with Hoominer 0.0.1 CPU
Coinbase Reward: Support dynamic coinbase reward calculation based on targetTimePerBlock.
Finality & Pruning: Added support to customize Finality Depth and Pruning Depth independently.
PruningPoint: Now based on Pruning Depth instead of Finality Depth for improved control.
Network Support: Added support for testnet-b5, testnet-b10.

🧹 Optimizations
Numerous performance optimizations throughout the codebase.
Eliminated redundant and expensive duplicate function calls to improve node efficiency.
