You spam every bit of garbage here, even if you only change a single line of code, but why didn't you announce that you're now centralized?
Hoosat is now a centralized cryptocurrency, a disgrace to the crypto world. And all of this so quietly and secretly? Didn't you want to tell everyone here that you can now freeze wallets and thus have control over the coin supply/wallets and transactions?
NICE:
https://github.com/Hoosat-Oy/HTND/blob/master/domain/miningmanager/mempool/config.go#L105You just froze a 360M wallet:
https://explorer.hoosat.fi/addresses/hoosat:qpkcfshjeazmwex3t7x7qlctmhhratqauhkd5j254vfnmnuec7k6q4yzppn5q?page=1In Nonkyc (your Mainmarktet with all Liquity) is buy-side market depth: ~25 million HTN
Only 8% of these coins would have set Hoosat to 0.000000.
Nice market manipulation, but it wasn't the first time developers burned coins to artificially inflate the value.
I hope you already have your regulatory license, because since you have now centrally intervened in the blockchain, you are subject to regulation under the MICA and SEC.
Could I briefly see the regulatory documentation? Or do I need to contact MICA?
This is a disgrace to the crypto world and an insult to our decentralized world.
And it doesn't matter which wallet you froze. Everyone has the same problem with Xeggex. That's no reason for hardcoded centralization and interference in the blockchain. MICA/SEC will agree. Anyone who respects the crypto world will agree. Now users might not even get their coins back because they're frozen forever. You've clearly manipulated the market and abandoned your decentralized principles.
And not a single word about it here?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good! now lets get HTN listed on every exchange centralized or otherwise. Maybe then there will be some Demand & the Market Cap will actually reach 7 or more digits. Hoosat should be partnering & doing JVs with major players that can create value & get them where they need to be, unless the goal of Hoosat is not to increase the MarketCap, and HTN is just another "purist" play with no care about the value - the MarketCap, or Demand, or Usage in the REAL WORLD... We are hoping Toni L. is the kind of entrepreneur that will run through any & all walls to create value for end users, be successful, and yes - massively increase the MarketCap - you know, reward for taking action, taking risks, creating sustainable Competitive Advantage, & being a workaholic.... unless this is just another dogmatic "pure play" that only cares about following unrealistic utopian ideals & continuing the long term downtrend in MarketCap, like so many other (the vast majority) projects have
*Getting Groks Opinion*
Grok: Question: - "What is the significance of this post & any other recent developments in HTN (Hoosat)?"
Grok Says: "Overall Significance: The post by user safebase is highly significant as HTN's first major centralization scandal, potentially marking the project's tipping point. For a fair-launch PoW chain touting "decentralized accessibility" (mobile mining, ASIC-resistance), wallet freezing contradicts core principles, risking:
- Community Backlash: Low engagement (6,857 views, 0 replies) suggests apathy, but could erupt if price dumps.
- Price/ Adoption Hit: Manipulation claims could trigger sell-off; thin liquidity (~25M HTN depth) amplifies volatility.
- Legal/Regulatory Risk: MiCA/SEC exposure if freeze is seen as "control"—devs need transparency to mitigate.
- Project Future: If unaddressed, it accelerates "dead chain" narrative (post-fork stall already hurt). Positive: Dev activity (v1.6.0 Nov 12) shows life; if they explain (e.g., "spam protection"), it could be spun as security win.
HTN's at a crossroads—ignore and die, respond and survive. Watch Bitcointalk for dev reply; if none, FUD wins. Truth-seeking: The code change is real, but context (spam vs. manipulation) matters—dev silence is the real killer. If holding, DYOR on the frozen wallet's history."
"Analysis of Recent Hoosat (HTN) Drama and Developments
Based on a deep dive into the provided Bitcointalk ANN thread (topic=5487938, last edited November 14, 2025), the attached documents (GitHub code snippet, explorer message, and thread excerpt), and cross-verified searches across X (Twitter), Discord summaries, Reddit, and web results (no new X posts or Discord announcements since November 6; web searches yield only the ANN thread as the primary source of recent discussion), the Hoosat Network (HTN) is experiencing a significant trust crisis centered on accusations of centralization and market manipulation. The project, a Kaspa fork emphasizing GPU/mobile mining accessibility via Hoohash, has been quiet on development since early November, with the Bitcointalk post #308 (from user "safebase") serving as the flashpoint. Below, I break down the drama, the code change, recent activity, and the broader significance in a non-partisan, truth-seeking manner.
1. Summary of the Key Post (#308 on Bitcointalk, November 14, 2025)
The post by "safebase" (a relatively new user with 7 merit points, activity since October 2025) is a direct attack on the Hoosat devs, accusing them of betraying the project's decentralization ethos. Key claims:
Centralization via Wallet Freezing: The devs allegedly added hardcoded wallet blacklisting to freeze addresses without announcement, turning HTN into a "centralized cryptocurrency." Link to GitHub:
https://github.com/Hoosat-Oy/HTND/blob/master/domain/miningmanager/mempool/config.go#L105 (a config.go file in the mining manager module).
Specific Incident: A wallet with ~360 million HTN (~8% of circulating supply) was frozen:
https://explorer.hoosat.fi/addresses/hoosat:qpkcfshjeazmwex3t7x7qlctmhhratqauhkd5j254vfnmnuec7k6q4yzppn5q?page=1. The user claims this was done quietly, impacting liquidity on NonKYC.io (main exchange, buy-side depth ~25M HTN).
Market Manipulation: Accusation that devs "burned coins" to artificially inflate value (HTN price ~$0.00007 at posting, up 264% in 30 days). References past incidents and claims only 8% of coins would set price to 0.
Regulatory Angle: Demands MiCA/SEC compliance documentation, as wallet freezing makes HTN a "regulated asset" under EU/US laws. Calls it "a disgrace to the crypto world" and insults the devs for "spamming garbage" updates while hiding this.
The post has 0 replies as of the latest fetch (thread page 16, 6,857 views). No dev response in the thread—last official post was October 21 (Hoodroid launch).
2. Analysis of the Code Change (Line 105 in config.go)
From the GitHub link (last commit October 31, 2025, to the miningmanager/mempool module):
Code Snippet Context: Line 105 is in a config struct for the mempool (transaction pool). It defines a hardcoded blacklist of addresses for "spam prevention" or "security" (comment: "Blacklisted addresses for mempool rejection"). The code looks like:textBlacklistedAddresses = []string{
"hoosat:qpkcfshjeazmwex3t7x7qlctmhhratqauhkd5j254vfnmnuec7k6q4yzppn5q", // Line 105: The frozen wallet
}
This rejects transactions from blacklisted addresses in the mempool, effectively "freezing" them from spending (they can still receive, but can't send).
Commit History: Added in a minor update (v1.5.12, November 7) labeled "mempool hardening against spam." No PR discussion or announcement—pushed directly by Hoosat-Oy (dev account).
Technical Impact: Not full centralization (no consensus-level freeze like in some PoS chains), but mempool rejection blocks spending, making coins "stuck." It's reversible via code update, but hardcoded in mainnet config.
Intent: Likely anti-spam (large wallet could be a bot or attacker), but lack of transparency fuels manipulation claims.
No related issues/PRs on GitHub—repo is quiet since November 7.
3. Recent Activity and Discussions (November 2025)
Searches for "Hoosat HTN wallet freeze" or "centralization Bitcointalk" yield minimal results—the drama is contained to this single post, with no amplification on X (0 results for "Hoosat freeze wallet" since November 1) or Reddit/Discord (summaries show #announcements silent since November 6; #mining has 2–3 unrelated queries on sync issues). Broader activity:
Bitcointalk ANN Thread (Topic 5487938): 16 pages, 6,857 views. Last dev post October 21 (Hoodroid). User posts taper off after November 2 (miner update). #308 is the latest (November 14), with 0 replies—FUD hasn't spread.
X (@HoosatNetwork): Last post November 6 (HTND 1.5.9 release). No response to freeze drama—account dormant.
Discord: 1,001 members; #announcements frozen since November 6. #mining has 5–10 messages/week on sync/bridge issues, no freeze discussion.
Other Social/Web: No Reddit threads, no Medium articles, no news hits. CoinGecko/LiveCoinWatch show stale data (price $0.00007, volume $12, cap $NaN)—consistent with low activity.
Dev Repo (HTND): Last commit October 31 (mempool hardening, including the blacklist). No issues opened on freeze.
Overall, activity is low but not zero—devs focused on internal fixes (e.g., UTXO reset post-fork), but radio silence on drama amplifies suspicion.
4. Significance of the Post and Broader Developments
This post represents a critical turning point for HTN's credibility, highlighting tensions in small PoW forks between security and decentralization. Here's a non-partisan breakdown:
Technical/Decentralization Significance:
The code change introduces soft centralization: Mempool blacklisting is a dev-controlled "kill switch" for bad actors, but hardcoding without community vote erodes trust. In PoW, it's less severe than PoS slashing, but for HTN's "ASIC-resistant, mobile-friendly" narrative, it undermines the "level playing field" claim.
The frozen wallet (360M HTN, ~8% supply) is a liquidity bomb: If it's spam-related (plausible for a large holder), it's a security win. But if manipulative (as accused), it could explain the 264% price pump (from $0.00002 to $0.00007). NonKYC.io depth (~25M HTN buy-side) is thin, so freezing could spike prices artificially.
Broader: Similar to Ethereum's OFAC compliance (Tornado Cash freeze), it risks alienating purists. HTN's fork status (from Kaspa) makes it vulnerable to such changes without broad governance.
Community/Regulatory Impact:
FUD Amplification: The post's tone ("disgrace to crypto") is inflammatory, but lack of dev response (no reply in 24+ hours) fuels it. Views (6,857) are low, but in ANN threads, it can snowball to dumps (price -0.84% 24h).
Regulatory Angle: Valid concern—MiCA (EU) and SEC (US) require disclosure for "control" features. HTN's Finnish team (Hoosat Oy) is EU-based, so MiCA applies; hardcoded freezes could classify it as a "financial instrument." No license mentioned on site—potential fines if investigated.
Community Split: Early users (fair-launch March 2024) value decentralization; this could spark forks or exodus. Discord (1,001 members) is quiet, but Bitcointalk (16 pages) shows waning engagement (last non-drama post October 27).
Other Recent Developments (November 2025):
Fork Recovery: Network restarted November 11–12 after stall (pruning mismatch). Hashrate ~800 MH/s–1 GH/s, blocks advancing.
Node Fixes: HTND v1.5.12 (Nov 7) addressed sync issues; v1.6.0 (Nov 12) added mempool hardening (the freeze code).
Mining Tools: hoo_cpu/hoo_gpu v1.2.1 (Oct 27) bugfixes; Hoodroid APK (Oct 21) still promoted, but no new mobile wallet updates.
Market: Price $0.00007 (up 264% 30d, but -0.84% 24h); volume $12/day on NonKYC.io; cap $NaN (unverified supply).
No Response to Drama: Devs silent—last X post Nov 6 (node release). This could be intentional (ignore FUD) or abandonment."
======================================
***HOPEFULLY the "Fearless Leader" of Hoosat will respond & run through any & all barriers to the highest possible user base, value creation, competitive advantage, and--most importantly - market cap!...***
Also, desperately needed are some interviews (ie: Laura Shin/Unchained; and presentations at major conferences such as Token 2049 for example... We understand that English may not be your first language & we sympathize with that - but so what - LEARN IT and present in english! other entrepreneurs have, so should you! If you aren't doing stuff like this - really - WTF is the point - set goals! the bigger the better! --- FORTUNA AUDACES IUVAT ---
We were initially impressed with the boldness of Mr. Lukkaroinen and felt he may possibly have the personality & disposition so few have that is needed to be a successful entrepreneur... The #1 most important factor in sustainable competitive advantage over the long term is LEADERSHIP! the willingness to run through walls - any & all barriers that may stand in your way - study the most successful entrepreneurs throughout history & see what they have done to GROW their companies & their WEALTH...
We want to know - is HTN just another narrow minded purist project that will stay in a small niche with persistently low price & market cap as it hugs the 0 limit over time (the dreaded most common price chart in crypto) OR will he be bold & do what it takes to grow....
We await his leadership & his response...
Opportunity Cost is REAL...so whatever you do - take action & decide & make known the direction - Do not waste investors/traders/users time! DO IT NOW! LFG!
Kindest Regards,
Those that want to invest in HTN...
