What is HIDERING? HIDERING is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency forked from Monero v0.18.1 with hardened defaults and additional privacy primitives
baked in at the consensus layer. The chain launched as a 100% fair-launch proof-of-work network: no premine, no presale, no team
allocation, no instamine — block 0 contains a NUMS (Nothing-Up-My-Sleeve) coinbase that is cryptographically unspendable (see
GENESIS_PROOF.md in repo).
Specifications - Ticker: HRG
- Algorithm: RandomX (CPU-only, ASIC-resistant)
- Block time: 120 seconds
- Initial reward: 42.86 HRG / block
- Halving interval: 210,000 blocks (~2.66 years)
- Max supply: 18,000,000 HRG (hard cap)
- Premine: 0
- P2P port: 19740
- RPC port: 19741
- Address prefix: addresses start with "B"
Privacy enhancements over Monero - Ring size 32-64 — dynamic, vs Monero's fixed 16. Larger anonymity set per spend.
- Transaction padding — fixed 2500-byte transactions hide spend pattern fingerprints.
- Native mixnet — mandatory 3-hop network-level routing for all P2P traffic.
- Amount normalization — amounts quantized to 0.1 HRG to defeat amount-correlation analysis.
- Stealth addresses V2 — with time-bounded view keys.
Downloads — v1.0.2 (current) Linux x64: hidering-v1.0.2-linux-x64.tar.gz SHA256: da92781f5e0d085a08a656b48ea49be3d54201b3db32b736204266ea89fd2b8b Tarball contains:

macOS and Windows binaries: coming soon. Self-build from source is fully supported in the meantime — same toolchain as Monero
(cmake + g++/clang).
Mining RandomX is CPU-only by design. Any modern x86/ARM CPU mines HRG. No GPU advantage, no ASIC — by construction.
- Solo mining: available now via hideringd --start-mining <your-B-address> --mining-threads N
- Pool mining: launching shortly. Stack validated locally on monero-pool (jtgrassie). Public pool stratum endpoint will be
announced in this thread.
Roadmap - Done: Genesis + consensus + privacy patches (ring 32-64, padding, mixnet, stealth V2)
- Live: Mainnet, seed nodes, block explorer, v1.0.2 binaries
- Next: Public pool, multi-OS binaries, hardware wallet integration
- 2027: Post-quantum hard fork — Dilithium3 (signatures) + Kyber768 (key exchange)
Resources Disclaimer HIDERING is experimental privacy-preserving software. Audit the code before holding non-trivial value. The chain has no premine and
no founder reward — the developers hold only what they mine, same as everyone else.
Fair launch. CPU only. No premine. No bullshit.
