[ANN] Ethernova (NOVA) | EVM L1 PoW (Ethash) | Let’s Make Great GPU Mining Again

[Ethernova]

⚡ 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 Vision
Remember 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)


🧾 Chain Details (confirmed)
Name: Ethernova  
Ticker: NOVA  
Client: CoreGeth / Geth JS Console  
Node version seen: CoreGeth/v1.12.20-stable-cd4a50af (windows-amd64, go1.21.0)  
Block height (when written): ~1539 (Wed Dec 17 2025 11:08:13 CST)  
HTTP RPC (default): http://127.0.0.1:8545  
WS RPC (default): ws://127.0.0.1:8546


⚙️ Quickstart (Windows) — Node + RPC
Suggested folder: C:\Ethernova\ (or anywhere you prefer)

Typical files:
• ethernova.exe  
• genesis-mainnet.json  
• data-mainnet\ (datadir)  
• logs\ (logs)

Start (example):

Code:

ethernova.exe --datadir .\data-mainnet ^
  --http --http.addr 127.0.0.1 --http.port 8545 --http.api "eth,net,web3" ^
  --ws --ws.addr 127.0.0.1 --ws.port 8546 --ws.api "eth,net,web3" ^
  --verbosity 3

Check current block:

Code:

ethernova.exe attach --exec "eth.blockNumber" http://127.0.0.1:8545

Check an address balance (NOVA):

Code:

ethernova.exe attach --exec "web3.fromWei(eth.getBalance('0x9a3c61883e9be792a6c32dd0dC508633a3D19026'),'ether')" http://127.0.0.1:8545

🌐 Node Operators: Peer Bootstrap
Right 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.

Public BOOTNODE (live):

Code:

enode://a533b0b2563cec8ed71a39e25c5cdf3743ab45561c76fb737014da0db67204f2dfe075d98fbe1ce15826bc7fb996004799ed956290729e57136dbdfc4e56eb9b@75.86.96.101:30303

How to connect (example):

Code:

# 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
[
  "enode://a533b0b2563cec8ed71a39e25c5cdf3743ab45561c76fb737014da0db67204f2dfe075d98fbe1ce15826bc7fb996004799ed956290729e57136dbdfc4e56eb9b@75.86.96.101:30303"

Verify you’re connected:

Code:

[Sir_Cheer]

There are 30,000 projects which has all pledged to do the same thing: Bring GPU mining back to profitability. In order to achieve this: The project must emit $100M/day in emissions, something that only BTC and ETH can do. For this to happen, you need massive global adoption. For that to happen, you need to bring something new and something revolutionary and something big to the table. NFTs, DeFi, smart contracts, and fast block times alone will not achieve this. There are 30,000 projects that already do this. What hope do you think you have? I'm not trying to discourage you, but its like 30,000 people trying to climb the tallest mountain and no one can make it. Do you have $100K-$500K to pay for each exchange listing? Don't think for a second that crowd-funding will achieve this. It's been tried a billion times. I always encourage people to put in the effort to climb Mount BTC & Mount ETH, but I just want to give you a feel for what you are up against. I've seen this type of post a billion times on here, and in most cases, its daily ATLs for a year until the team vanishes. I tip my hat to anyone who tries, because I want GPU mining restored too, but its going to take a valiant effort to achieve this. I tip my hat to anyone who is willing to try. Good luck

You are absolutely right and correct we have to archive at least 30 to 50 millions in emissions, and looks very challenging but i wanna try it because in crypto anything is possible i thinks if we start a nice and big community that we can work together that’s a great start.

🚀 Ethernova – Long-Term Funding Plan

Hello everyone 👋,

We would like to share our long-term vision for funding the Ethernova project in a way that is sustainable, transparent, and independent.

💙 Donations have always been available and will remain an option for anyone who wishes to support the project directly. 
However, relying only on donations is not a healthy foundation for a growing blockchain ecosystem.

Our goal is simple:
build infrastructure that can fund itself over time 🧠⚙️

---

🔧 The Plan

We are working on launching a multi-coin mining pool that will support well-established cryptocurrencies such as:

• Litecoin (LTC)
• Dogecoin (DOGE)
• Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
• and other major coins

The pool will operate like any standard mining pool, with a clear and competitive 2% pool fee ⛏️

---

💰 How the Pool Fees Will Be Used

A portion of the collected fees will be allocated to:

• 🧩 Ongoing development
• 🖥️ Infrastructure and maintenance
• 📣 Marketing and ecosystem growth
• 💧 Adding liquidity to exchanges

This approach allows the project to generate real revenue from real services — 
without selling tokens, without artificial inflation, and without constantly asking the community for money.

---

✅ Important Notes

Participation in the pool is completely optional. 
Miners are free to choose any pool they prefer, and nothing about using the Ethernova network requires mining with our pool.

We believe this model is:

• 🔍 Transparent
• 🌱 Sustainable
• 📈 Focused on long-term growth

---

📌 More details will be shared as development progresses, including:

• Pool name
• Supported coins
• Launch timeline

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Ethernova — whether by mining, building, testing, or simply being part of the community ❤️

We are focused on building something solid that lasts.

🌌 The Idea Behind Orion Pool

Ethernova represents a supernova — a powerful event born from innovation, energy, and long-term vision. 
But no supernova exists in isolation.

In astronomy, massive stellar events are part of larger systems. 
That concept is what inspired Orion Pool.

The Orion constellation, and especially the Orion Belt, is formed by large, stable, and well-known stars that have existed long before any explosion. 
They represent structure, balance, and long-term stability within a system.

Orion Pool follows that same idea.

It is designed to support established, high-hashrate cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and other major networks — strong and proven “stars” in the mining ecosystem.

These networks generate consistent block rewards and real value. 
A transparent 2% pool fee allows Orion Pool to fund infrastructure, development, maintenance, and ecosystem growth — including liquidity provisioning — in a sustainable way.

In simple terms:

• Orion Pool represents stability, structure, and sustainability
  
• Ethernova represents innovation, expansion, and the supernova event
  

Orion Pool operates as an independent and neutral mining pool. 
Participation is always optional, and nothing about using the Ethernova network requires mining with Orion Pool.

This model avoids reliance on constant donations or short-term funding and focuses instead on building infrastructure that can support long-term development.

This is not hype. 
This is long-term thinking.

I have my hopes set on this one
It has an active dedicated dev that’s for sure
