Introduction to Hoohash!
Leveling the Playing Field in Hashing Algorithms

Hoohash is a novel and groundbreaking proof of work algorithm designed to address the growing disparity between general-purpose CPUs and highly specialized hardware like GPUs, VPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs in cryptocurrency mining. Traditionally, algorithms such as Blake3, which underpins Hoohash, excel in parallel processing environments, allowing specialized hardware to outperform CPUs by a significant margin. However, Hoohash introduces a novel approach by targeting the weaknesses of these parallelized systems, leveling the playing field across different processing architectures.


The Challenge of Specialized Hardware
Specialized hardware like ASICs has long dominated performance benchmarks due to its ability to leverage parallel processing techniques efficiently, offering massive hashrates with minimal power consumption. This advantage has led to centralization in Proof of Work cryptocurrency scene, where only those with access to this high-performance hardware can compete effectively. However, Hoohash disrupts this landscape by focusing on sequential processing, introducing bottlenecks that affect parallelized systems.

How Hoohash Works: Attacking Parallel Processing
At the heart of Hoohash’s design is the use of non-linear equations that require sequential computation and extensive synchronization. Unlike linear equations that can be easily parallelized across multiple processing cores or specialized units, non-linear equations force hardware to process them step-by-step, creating bottlenecks. This undermines the efficiency gains normally achieved by parallel processing units, like those in GPUs, VPUs, and ASICs. The result is that specialized hardware sees diminished returns when running Hoohash, negating the performance advantages that typically come from parallelization.


Impact on Specialized Hardware: Bottlenecking Hashrate
While Hoohash remains implementable on specialized units like VPUs and ASICs, it introduces inefficiencies that disrupt their typical hashrate dominance. For instance, where specialized hardware might typically achieve 250–400 GH/s on just 100W, implementing Hoohash would require significantly more hardware to approach those speeds, greatly reducing power efficiency.

Real-World Performance: CPU Case Study
Looking at real-world data, the performance bottleneck created by Hoohash is clear.

For example RandomX:

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor 17.5 kh/s
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 8.8 kh/s
98.86 % hashrate increase with better CPU.
The same CPU’s on Hoohash:

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor 27.1 kh/s
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 23.12 Kh/s
17.21 % hashrate increase with better CPU.
This in Hoohash defies the usual logic of computing, where more cores typically translate to proportional performance increases. The bottlenecks introduced by Hoohash’s sequential processing requirements significantly slow down parallel execution, leading to only marginal improvements in speed with additional cores.

As such Hoohash is able to be ran on older hardware AMD A4–9125 RADEON R3 does ~1Kh/s. You would need only 27 laptops with that processor to do be comparable to single Ryzen 9 3900X. Though this is extreme example, because buying 27 laptops to run the algorithm separately would not be that cost effective compared to buying single Ryzen 9 3900X to do the task.

Leveling the Playing Field
By attacking the efficiency of parallel processing, Hoohash forces specialized hardware to invest more resources to achieve higher hashrates, thus reducing the gap between general-purpose CPUs and custom-built units like ASICs. This creates a more equitable environment where consumer-grade hardware can remain competitive, promoting decentralization and fairness, particularly in mining and other computationally intensive fields.

In conclusion, Hoohash presents a fresh approach to hashing algorithms, specifically designed to limit the advantage of highly parallelized systems, making it harder for specialized hardware to dominate. By doing so, it democratizes access to efficient computational power, ensuring that the performance gap between CPUs and specialized units is significantly narrowed.

If these results are true, how much hashrate would my old Intel i5 m450 CPU and AMD R5 m330 integrated graphics get? So as not to waste time synchronizing nodes?

[HoosatNetwork]

If you want to test Hoohash on a CPU, since GPU miner is not ready. You can use this following guide. And does not require syncing for testing. Just remember that 5 first blocks after genesis are Pyrinhash and then Hoohash.

Install the testnet version of HTND:
git clone https://github.com/Hoosat-Oy/HTND.git
cd HTND
git switch -t origin/testnet
go install . ./cmd/...

Start the node and allow mining on top of genesis block.
~/go/bin/HTND --testnet --utxoindex --allow-submit-block-when-not-synced

Open another terminal window to create new cli wallet .
~/go/bin/htnwallet --testnet create
~/go/bin/htnwallet --testnet start-daemon &
Now another terminal window to create address for the miner.
~/go/bin/htnwallet --testnet new-address

Then open another teminal window to start CPU mining.
~/go/bin/htnminer --testnet --mine-when-not-synced --miningaddr=hoosattest:qpdhxq3exnz7ugunfg28n0vhft8vf8dhmkr02jd50fvrcksv3zpmcfe0nu8rx

Hoohash 1.0.3 released
@everyone this version includes changes to HoohashV1 to make it more compatible between CPU and GPU architectures, because of precision problems and changes to matrix multiplication so that a + b * c becomes a + complex_non_linear(b * c), which should take CUDA matrix multiplication advantage away.

I'm going to say that HoohashV1 is now finalized, so GPU and Stratum developers can start working on their implementation without myself hopping to do changes when they circumvent something.

Here is also new Testnet datadir available with blocks on the new finalized Hoohash you can do HTND --testnet --outpeers 2 -a mainnet-node-1.hoosat.fi to get synced with the datadir.

Windows and Linux builds are available in Github:

the algorithm kHeavyHash has a weak spot that can be exploited.

Hoohash was designed with a deep understanding of these cryptographic issues, ensuring a more secure and decentralized mining process. By eliminating the probabilistic shortcut vulnerability, Hoohash offers a hashing algorithm that maintains fairness and resists exploitative mining practices, giving miners a more level playing field

In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrencies, the quest for a leveled playing field has led to innovations like ASIC resistance, aimed at preventing monopolization by specialized, expensive hardware. Hoosat Network stands at the forefront of this movement, leveraging its unique Hoohash algorithm to ensure that cryptocurrency mining remains accessible to everyone, not just those with deep pockets for ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits).
Understanding ASIC Resistance

ASICs are designed for specific tasks, like Bitcoin mining, providing unmatched efficiency but at a cost that often excludes small miners or hobbyists. This concentration of mining power can centralize control over a blockchain, potentially compromising its security and decentralization principles. Hoosat Network tackles this issue head-on with its ASIC-resistant approach.

The Hoohash Algorithm: A New Dawn for Fair Mining
The heart of Hoosat Network’s fairness strategy lies in its custom mining algorithm, Hoohash. Unlike algorithms that favor ASICs due to their efficiency in linear computations, Hoohash incorporates non-linear equations and transforms matrix multiplication in ways that creates parallel processing bottleneck —less advantageous to ASICs— . Here’s how it promotes fair mining:

Computational Complexity: By introducing non-linear equations, hoohash ensures that computations cannot be easily optimized for the linear processing paths typical in ASIC designs. This complexity favors general-purpose GPUs, which are more adaptable to varied computational tasks.
Algorithm Updates: The network can evolve its algorithm to stay ahead of potential ASIC optimizations, maintaining a dynamic challenge for would-be ASIC developers and keeping mining accessible to a broader audience.
Impacts on Accessibility

Democratization of Mining: By creating parallel processing bottleneck to reduce the advantage of ASICs, Hoosat Network allows enthusiasts with GPUs to compete effectively. This democratizes mining, enabling participation from individuals worldwide, fostering true decentralization where the participants build up the network.
Cost Efficiency: GPUs, while more expensive than CPUs, are significantly cheaper than ASICs, making entry into mining more feasible for newcomers. This cost efficiency encourages a more diverse mining community.
Sustainability and Fairness: With parallel processing bottleneck causing ASIC resistance, the network avoids the ‘arms race’ of mining hardware upgrades, leading to a more sustainable ecosystem where miners are rewarded based on their contribution rather than their hardware’s cost.
The Broader Implications for Crypto Accessibility

Hoosat Network’s commitment to ASIC resistance through Hoohash not only preserves the integrity of its blockchain but also sets a precedent for how cryptocurrencies can evolve to remain accessible. This approach encourages innovation in mining algorithms, potentially influencing future blockchain designs to prioritize accessibility and fairness.

In conclusion, Hoosat Network’s strategy with Hoohash isn’t just about technological innovation; it’s a philosophical stance on what cryptocurrency should represent: an open, fair, and accessible financial system. By ensuring that mining remains within reach of everyday enthusiasts, Hoosat Network champions a vision where the blockchain’s security and governance are genuinely decentralized, not just theoretically. This move towards ASIC resistance could very well be the blueprint for a more equitable crypto future, where the power of mining lies not in the hands of those with the most resources, but in the collective might of a diverse, global community.

This article encapsulates Hoosat Network’s approach to ASIC resistance, focusing on how it promotes fair mining and accessibility through its innovative Hoohash algorithm, drawing from the essence of information available while emphasizing the broader implications for cryptocurrency accessibility.

HTN Hard Fork to Hoohash
The estimated time to 17,500,000 DAA Score is currently Thu, 26 Sep 2024 14:47:20 GMT. Then we will be forking our blockchain into Hoohash.

In conclusion, Hoosat Network’s commitment to ASIC resistance through the innovative Hoohash algorithm exemplifies a powerful stand for fairness and accessibility in the cryptocurrency landscape. By leveling the playing field and ensuring that mining remains open to everyone, not just those with expensive hardware, Hoosat Network champions true decentralization. Its focus on empowering a global community of miners, rather than centralizing control in the hands of a few, paves the way for a more inclusive and equitable crypto future. The upcoming hard fork to Hoohash represents not just a technical upgrade, but a statement of values — a vision where blockchain remains a tool for everyone.

What has been forked from HTN?

1 HTN DB Filler: While it doesn’t technically require forking, the HTN DB Filler can be run by any Kaspa node operator, allowing them to benefit from the numerous bug fixes we’ve implemented. These improvements enable our explorer to operate with an archival node from genesis.
2 Top Addresses Feature in HTN Explorer: This feature was among the first to be copied. PugDAG modified the original code, while Astrix implemented a more straightforward copy from PugDAG without significant alterations.
3 DAG View Feature in HTN Explorer: The latest development that has been partially replicated by Spectre. They adopted HTN’s latest block retrieval code and transitioned the visual component from Dagre3D to Vis-Network. Notably, they have submitted a pull request to the Spectre Explorer, seeking to incorporate the fixes and enhancements that our HTN team has developed for the latest block retrieval code.
4 Developer Fee (HTND) Code & Feature: This functionality was quickly copied by two projects, Nexell-ia and PugDAG, following our hard fork that demonstrated its effectiveness. The developer fee feature is likely to see further adoption, as it contributes to the longevity of projects.
5 Hard Fork (HTND) Code & Feature: The hard fork code enables the definition of multiple hard forks by specifying the DAA score and block version, facilitating network updates. Like the developer fee, this feature was swiftly forked by Nexell-ia and PugDAG.
6 Hoohash PoW Algorithm: We take pride in the fact that our PoW algorithm has found a home in PugDAG. As Hoohash continues to showcase its innovative approach to FPGA/ASIC resistance, we anticipate even more interest in this technology.

We are here for the long haul. After the successful hard fork that brought in our new algorithm Hoohash, we've been laser-focused on adding more value to the Hoosat Network.

Hoosat started with two developers talking about the state of cryptocurrencies and they are passionate about cryptocurrencies, not alone Kaspa. We want to take that further by leveling the playing field of miners, lowering the barrier to entry, to ensure true decentralization. Everyone can participate, if you want to run service's we are here to help you to do that.

Hoosat has no pre-mine, and we stand firm in our commitment that no new tokens will ever be minted that way. There’s no “fake it till you make it” mindset here. We understand GhostDAG’s potential, and we’re not about overpromising. We only talk about new features when we know we can deliver, which is why we announce our plans quarterly.

The 2024 Q4 roadmap remains steady. We've already built Windows/Linux desktop wallet wrapping the webwallet. Next it's time for the flutter based mobile wallet and backend of address translation layer is done. In Q1 of 2025 we are planning to start building our first service, real world marketplace utilizing HTN cryptocurrency as payments.

- Real proof of work hash validation.
- Floating point rounding precision of Hoohash

This is a latest 4 hour test with latest SRBMiner.
- 0 Invalid hashes submitted from miner to Stratum bridge.
- 0 Invalid hashes submitted from Stratum bridge to node.
- Only 9 invalid hashes send in the miner GPU to CPU validation.

That's only 0.14% invalid hashes in the SRBMiner GPU to CPU. Since SRBMiner validates GPU work with CPU prior to sending to Stratum.

📅 Save the Date: Our next significant hard fork is scheduled for Friday, November 15, 2024, at 15:46:56 GMT with a DAA Score of 21821800.

Here's what's on the horizon:
🔐Strengthened Security
Block Version 3: Features advanced hash validation to shield from nonce guessing attacks, enhancing network integrity.

🛠️Hoohash v1.0.1:
A refined algorithm for superior floating-point accuracy, ensuring consistent proof of work hash reliability across different systems.

🔗Dive Deeper into the Changes:

HTND v1.1.0
https://github.com/Hoosat-Oy/HTND/releases/tag/v1.1.0
HTN Stratum Bridge v1.2.0 👇
https://github.com/Hoosat-Oy/htn-stratum-bridge/releases/tag/v1.2.0

[ogrvar]

# HTND 1.1.1 Released

This is compatible release with the upcoming hard fork. You may use either one of the 1.1.0 or 1.1.1, but this includes fix in RPC handle submit block function so that **Block Versions less than 3** wont require the proof of work hash to be submitted. This basically so that if you are running old stratum bridge and updating only node to 1.1.0, they will conflict.

[ogrvar]

SRBMiner 2.7.0 released
SRBMiner 2.7.0 release includes support for Hoohash V1.0.1, the hard fork for Friday 15.11.2024.
 
https://github.com/doktor83/SRBMiner-Multi/releases/tag/2.7.0

Works while mining Hoohash V1.0.0 on pools and stratum bridge, because only nonce is checked even though the proof work hashes are completely different.

How resistant is HTN to Quantum Computing?
$HTN proof of work hash Hoohash uses the Blake3 hashing algorithm to generate a 256-bit output, which defines one point of resilience to quantum threats.
Here’s a breakdown of the quantum security:

1. Grover’s Algorithm Impact: With quantum brute-force, Grover's algorithm would reduce a 2^256 search space to ~2^128. This means:
- Preimage resistance drops from 256 bits to 128 bits
- Collision resistance drops to 64 bits—still requiring a staggering 18.45 ExaHash/s to match the network’s speed. ⚡

2. Quantum Hardware Requirements: To leverage Grover's for Blake3, you’d need at least 512 qubits (256 for the hash, 256 ancillary) and unprecedented parallel processing to achieve quantum gate speeds at 18 Eh/s—well beyond current tech.

3. Practical Security Enhancements: HTN leverages GhostDAG for rapid block creation, making it nearly impossible for a quantum attacker to precompute valid hashes in real time. Additionally, our custom proof-of-work hash validation extends the search space by forcing quantum attacks to target the proof of work output hash values, not just the nonce which has maximum value of only 2^32.

Bottom Line: While no algorithm is entirely quantum-proof, Hoohash and Real proof of work hash validation offers robust resistance today and for the future

 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 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.

@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!

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!

[ogrvar]

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.
