[ANN] AstramChain – GPU Mineable PoW Blockchain | Open Source

[ysbluea]

Hello Bitcointalk community,

I’d like to introduce AstramChain — a GPU-mineable Proof-of-Work blockchain currently under active development.

AstramChain is designed with a Bitcoin-style PoW structure, focusing on simplicity, transparency, and long-term network stability. The goal is to create a clean and efficient mining-based blockchain that can evolve toward testnet and mainnet deployment.

🔹 Key Features
• GPU Mineable (PoW-based)
• Bitcoin-style difficulty adjustment
• Independent blockchain (not an ERC-20 token)
• Open-source development
• Public block explorer available

🔹 GitHub Repository
https://github.com/YSBlueA/AstramChain

🔹 Block Explorer
https://explorer.astramchain.com/

AstramChain is being actively developed, and feedback from miners and developers is highly welcome.

If you are interested in early-stage PoW projects, blockchain architecture, or mining infrastructure, feel free to check the repository and share your thoughts.

More updates (including testnet details) will be shared soon.

Thank you.

ERROR Astram_node] DNS registration failed; shutting down node: error sending request for url (http://161.33.19.183:8053/register)

When the node starts, it checks whether port 19533 is accessible for communication between nodes.
If the node cannot be reached from the outside network, it cannot be registered with the DNS seed.
Please make sure that TCP port 19533 is properly port-forwarded so that the node is accessible from external networks.

error: failed to run custom build command for `librocksdb-sys v0.17.3+10.4.2`

We are currently preparing a Docker environment for the build setup.
This error appears to occur while building the RocksDB library (librocksdb-sys).
Please try updating the required development packages and build again:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential clang cmake pkg-config libssl-dev
sudo apt install libsnappy-dev liblz4-dev libzstd-dev zlib1g-dev

Astram-dns has been updated. The default port for P2P verification is 8335, and this port must be accessible from external networks.

how to stop mininig? Waiting have synchronized.

how to stop mininig? Waiting have synchronized.

You can stop it by pressing Ctrl + C in the terminal where the node is running.

I have forwarded ports 19533 and 8335 to the server. Why there are "No connected peers"? I am alone in my AstramChain network...

Thank you for your feedback. After investigating the issue, we found a problem with the P2P peer connection. We are currently reviewing the block synchronization scenarios and will release a patch soon.

After launching the project, mining started immediately, and the GPUs are running at full tilt. However, the blockchain hasn’t begun syncing at all. As a result, everyone is mining independently on their own chains. What’s causing this issue? We need to sync first before starting mining.

Thank you for your interest.

As you pointed out, there was an issue with block synchronization between P2P nodes.
Please download and use the latest patch (v1.0.1):
https://github.com/YSBlueA/AstramChain/releases/tag/v1.0.1

Once the block synchronization starts, previously mined blocks will be reset.
At the moment, we have identified four separate blockchains.

Please reply to this post with your wallet address, and we will send coins to you on the main chain.

Thank you for your support.

This is the first transaction.
After checking, it seems that wallet-cli also needs to be patched.
Thank you.
