To the whole community — I have to be honest with you.
This launch has been a mess. The GitHub repo appeared to vanish, the block explorer was showing 157 HRG instead of 42.86, the v1.x chain got 51%-attacked at h≈3577, and the v2.0.0 hard fork raised legitimate questions about premining. You were right to be skeptical. I'm genuinely sorry for the chaos.
@BoozyTalking — You're correct, and I should have been more precise. RandomX can technically run on GPUs — but it's designed from the ground up to favor CPUs (random memory access patterns, L3 cache latency dependency). GPUs work but deliver a much worse hashrate/watt ratio compared to modern CPUs, unlike GPU-native algorithms. No viable ASIC exists for RandomX. Thanks for the correction.
@WestHamFan10 and all v1.x miners — Here's the real situation, no spin:
There is no premine. My developer wallet holds ~2,000 HRG mined under the exact same conditions as any other miner — RandomX PoW competition, zero pre-allocation. That's 2,000 out of 18,000,000 total supply, or 0.011%. The "pre-public" phase existed solely to avoid immediately recreating the 51% attack conditions by reopening public peering too early.
v2.0.0 is live right now. The network is running at height ~3,600+, seed nodes are synchronized, the block explorer is up, and the website is online. Anyone can start mining immediately.
Your questions:
v1.x miners were not included in the private phase — there was no way to do it securely without recreating the vulnerability. That's one of the failures of this launch and I own it.
No formal v1.x compensation plan — I won't promise something I can't guarantee.
On transparency: HIDERING is a privacy coin — by design, no one can verify on-chain which address received which coins. That's the whole point. But the math is fully open: block height and timestamps are public. Anyone can check the explorer, count the blocks mined before public launch, and calculate the exact total emission: blocks × 42.86 HRG. Nothing is hidden there.
How to join v2.0.0 right now:
Stop mining v1.x
Wipe ~/.hidering/lmdb
Download the v2.0.0 Linux binary from GitHub
Run: hideringd --add-peer seed1.hidering.org:19740 --start-mining <your-B-address>
The network is open — mine immediately
A word on what this project actually is:
No team. No funding. No investors. This is a one-person project built on personal time and personal servers. I have no marketing budget, no roadmap backed by VC money, and no guarantees. I genuinely hope HIDERING grows into something solid and long-term — but that depends entirely on whether the community finds value in it and chooses to mine it. If you're looking for a funded team with a whitepaper full of promises, this isn't it. If you're looking for an honest CPU-only privacy coin with no bullshit, maybe it is.

Thank you to everyone still here.
Fair launch. CPU only. No premine. No bullshit.
