[ANN] [POW] [HTN] HARD FORK HOOSAT

[kb-2]

Hoosat Network 1.3.2 Nocturne released!

Implemented its own GPU miner.
The Hoosat project adheres to the "ONLY GPU" policy. This implementation of the hoohash algorithm significantly complicates the work for fpga and asic.
The existence of our own miner allows us to control the speed of development of modified algorithms, modified algorithms, if necessary.

Hoosat Network has   our secure Proof of Work hash validation implemented already on mainnet,
 which works against nonce spamming,
 now we are moving faster and updating our algorithm to level the playing field for GPU's more than before.




HTN Nocturne includes:
 Hoohash V1.1.0 algorithm update,
 Database change from LevelDB to Cockroach Db's Pebble,
 Threaded Block relay,
 Modified block mass calculation to support more input UTXO's for compounding.

The new Nocturne settings:
 5 BPS 
 500 TPB
 K 18 to 40
 Max Block Mass 500,000 -> 1,000,000
 Finality Duration: 24 hours -> 3 hours
 Pruning Depth: ~72 to ~42 hours
 Merge Depth: 6 min to 0.5 hours
 Max Block Parents: 10 to 12

The Hard Fork will happen:
 Daa Score: 43,334,184
 Time and date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 12:29:26 GMT

about algo hoohash
Hoohash is a proof of work algorithm designed to address the growing disparity between general-purpose CPUs and highly specialized hardware like GPUs, VPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs.
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.
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 (FPGA
 & ASIC ). By doing so, it democratizes access to efficient computational power, ensuring that the performance gap between CPUs and specialized units is significantly narrowed.

🦉 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.
