⚡ ETHERNOVA (NOVA) ⚡🔥 Let’s Make Great GPU Mining Again!!! 🔥Bringing back the golden age of profitable, community-driven GPU mining — and powering it with a full EVM ecosystem.
🌌 The VisionRemember the pre-merge era — when GPU mining was alive, profitable, and communities actually
built on-chain?
That’s the energy we’re bringing back.
Ethernova is built to be the kind of EVM network where miners aren’t an afterthought — they’re the heartbeat.
And the chain isn’t “just mineable” — it’s meant to
grow into a full on-chain economy:
✅
NFTs (collections, marketplaces, creator tools)
✅
Tokens (ERC-20 style)
✅
DeFi (DEXs, liquidity, farming, lending)
✅
Smart contracts (anything you can build on EVM)
✅ More tools, more builders, more reasons to transact — which means
real network activity, not empty blocks.
Goal: Build enough real utility and ecosystem activity so GPU mining can feel like it did before the merge — but with even more upside and room to experiment.
🚀 What is Ethernova?Ethernova (ticker:
NOVA) is an Ethereum-style EVM network built on
CoreGeth. The goal is a practical chain for running nodes and mining with a straightforward setup (especially on Windows) and compatibility with existing tooling (Miningcore-style pools, EVM wallets, etc).
Current status (confirmed):✅ Chain is producing blocks (mining works)
✅ RPC responds correctly (balance/tx/gas)
⚠️ P2P/peers: currently in bootstrap phase (seeking public node operators / peers)

🌐 Node Operators: Peer BootstrapRight now the main focus is growing the public P2P mesh.
Minimum target: 3–5 public nodes on different networks (VPS/home/office) so new users can connect easily.

# Option A: start your node with a bootnode
ethernova.exe --bootnodes "enode://a533b0b2563cec8ed71a39e25c5cdf3743ab45561c76fb737014da0db67204f2dfe075d98fbe1ce15826bc7fb996004799ed956290729e57136dbdfc4e56eb9b@75.86.96.101:30303"
# Option B: add as static peer (recommended)
# Put into: data-mainnet\geth\static-nodes.json

🗺️ Roadmap (short + realistic)Phase 1 — Bootstrap: public peers + bootnodes + install guide
Phase 2 — Infrastructure: explorer + faucet (if needed) + public read-only endpoints
Phase 3 — Ecosystem: NFTs + Tokens + DeFi + Builders program + toolkits
⚠️ DisclaimerThis project is early-stage. Nothing here is financial advice. Treat it as an engineering project: test, measure, verify.
🛰️ Looking for node operators, pool operators, and builders to bring the GPU era back — but smarter.
