Hoominer Status Update 🦉

Tonto finished testing OpenCL Hoohash v1.1.0.
On an RX 6800 XT with stock clocks, the hashrates are currently coming in around 50–70 MH/s.
 need to implement it to the stratum miner, instead of running with test host code.

As expected, there's a noticeable performance hit due to the use of FP64.
That said, the drop from Hoohash v1.0.1 isn’t as dramatic as initially feared.
 Considering the computational overhead of FP64, it’s actually holding up better than anticipated.


It's worth mentioning that  Tonto still quite new to GPU miner development,
 and He is fully aware that there are many optimization techniques he hasn’t yet explored or implemented.
 Developers like Lolliedieb, doktor83, EhssanD, and Tritonn have set a high bar in this space, massive respect to them.

🦉 **Testing Hoominer v0.1.1** 🦉

Want to test **Hoominer v0.1.1** without setting up a Testnet node or stratum bridge yourself?
You can do that now—just follow the details below.

🔗 **Download Hoominer**
[Hoominer v0.1.1 for Linux]
https://network.hoosat.fi/downloads/Hoominer-linux-0.1.1.zip

CPU and OpenCL GPU mining currently don't work at the same time, because they try to do same jobs. So either decide between `--disable-cpu` or `--disable-gpu` flag to disable either one of them for the other to run. For example:
```
hoominer --stratum stratum+tcp://mainnet-node-1.hoosat.fi:5555 --user qq0eln842s9zzf436jzngrjp47a73w7ju27lsgwk4njy5x7z44z26u7klpyr4 --disable-cpu
```

🌉 **Stratum Testnet Bridge**
`stratum+tcp://mainnet-node-1.hoosat.fi:5555`

💸 **Test Hoosat Address (for mining)**
`hoosattest:qq0eln842s9zzf436jzngrjp47a73w7ju27lsgwk4njy5x7z44z26u7klpyr4`

This is one of the **Rothschild spam addresses** I’m currently running, feel free to mine to it for testing purposes.

Happy mining! Remember to tell your GPU and hashrate! 🦉

Hoominer v0.2.0 Released! 🦉

We're excited to announce the release of Hoominer Linux v0.2.0,
 now available with Hoohash v1.1.0, supporting both OpenCL and CUDA.

📥 Download here:
Hoominer Linux v0.2.0
https://network.hoosat.fi/downloads/Hoominer-linux-0.2.0.zip

🔧 What's New:
CUDA kernels are now precompiled into .cubin files for faster startup.
OpenCL kernels are compiled at runtime.
Device selection is still limited — currently, you can use --disable-cpu or --disable-gpu to manage device usage.
Fixed an issue where mining threads didn’t stop when a job was completed by another thread (CPU/GPU).
You can now test the miner on:stratum+tcp://mainnet-node-1.hoosat.fi:5555

Out of curiosity, why is this project still in development? The chart is dead for over a year now

Out of curiosity, why is this project still in development? The chart is dead for over a year now

the project has a principled doxed developer.
the free market dictates the price.
friendly tokenomics gives the opportunity to participate to late holders.
in 2 weeks there will be a new Hard fork.
our developer made his own GPU miner and this deserves respect.
the new algorithm will prohibit fpga and asic from participating in the network.
we expect the registration of a patent against Quantum in a year.
I would say that we are at the very beginning)

🦉 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

Can tell that the mining is working again based on the Price Action of HTN - it is back down near the all time lows... Perhaps the leadership should think about why there is no demand for HTN - there is certainly plenty of supply!

Holy Crow...   
I was quite a loyal miner, especially liked the lowest wattage algorithm.  What gives with the total lack of communication?  I'd like to continue supporting this small project but, but...  Feeling like a mushroom.

Mining seems to be busted for days now,
a Hard fork seems to have happened/failed but no real info on what is being done to correct or timeline for return,
An algorithm change?  Yet none of the pools seem to support a new algo...  not updated, no info about how to reconnect,
All I can gather is that the ONLY miner is exclusively linux... not suitable for my windows-miner,
Hoosat.fi isn't even updated to keep their network supporters in the loop,  once people start abandoning ship
SRB Miner (I was using) also dropped support,

Why would anyone sabotage their project so completely and in so many ways?
One would assume all this damages reputation, very hard to recover from.  Have to rebuild all the support back from scratch?

Why did you grenade Hoosat?

today's algorithm completely protects miners from fpga.
the developer did not leave us and kept in touch in discord.
This Hard fork was not easy. 5 bps were made . testing this is not an easy task.
During the Hard fork we saw people who specifically tried to disrupt the network.
Mining worked and the network did not stop. Pools are already working.


SRB developers did not want to make hoohash completely.
this task is not simple.
we have OUR OWN miner and do not depend on miner developers.
but we are not against if other developers implement Full hoohash.
the code of the hoohash algorithm is available on github .

for windows use wsl

HTN Nocturne 1.4.3 released.

This release fixes old issue in HTND that has been mild problem even in 1 BPS. Untrusted peers, after failed handshake causing peer flows to be executed even though connection was dropped causing node ram usage to raise.

🦉 HTN Nocturne Hard Fork! 🦉

I can congratulate all of you who have participated in this Hard Fork. You are part of those who keep the network running while I have been fixing code, even issues that still exist on Kaspa Golang Reference node.

I apologize for the Hard Fork issue that difficulty did not drop because of no-one found blocks with Hoominer, before I modified a node to drop the difficulty on HF DAAscore. Then we noticed that something happened with pruning depths, which stopped IBD'ing. I have my suspect's, but have not found any solid proofs yet.

While everyone seemed to have timeouts and some panic errors. Some of this has been because some people have been attacking our network with modified coinbase transactions, blocks with undefined nonce, untrusted peer node freezing and whatever comes to mind. It seems those attacks are continuing at the moment, but the network has been running successfully for over 24 hours. So it seems someone really did not want us to progress from 1 BPS Hoohash V1.0.1 to 5 BPS Hoohash V1.1.0.

We can go further than ever, were progressing on our own path now. We are not anymore depending on third party miner developers, that can try to change the direction of the project without consensus of the community. Miner devs are allowed to implement or break Hoohash, but expect it to be update according to the wishes of the community. You are those who with me wanted HTN to stay GPU minable, it took 6 months but we are here on 5 BPS with correct Hoohash algorithm doing it's supposed floating point arithmetic's to balance the benefits of accelerated processing.

new gpu miner       

https://htn.foztor.net/hoo_gpu.tar.gz

1) Limited OC capability.  Set your clocks with other tools first (lock memory to 810.  Lock core to whatever you want)
2) 1.5% DevFee
3) CUDA only.  So NVIDIA only.  Requires libcudart.so.12 (ie CUDA 12)
4) Relatively modest CPU use (increases with number of GPUs mining.  Currently arbitarily limited to 12) 
5) HiveOS package should work, but stats reporting I have no clue.  Probably not.
6) Magic auto-tuning at startup,  let it do its thing. Only takes less than a minute.
7) Linux only.  That will never change.   It does run OK under WSL though it would appear.

Run it like this:

./hoo_gpu -o stratum+tcp://whatveer:port -u hoosat:wallet -p x

Or set the flightsheet in the normal way  on HiveOS

By default it will operate on all GPUs.  If you want to limit it then pass --gpu-id 0,1 (or whatever, comma sperated GPUs to run on).

Happy mining.
