Cthulhu is Rising

AT BLOCK 1,000,000
The Great Old One Stirs.
Offerings to Cthulhu (OFF) — The Restoration Hardfork v2.0.0




"In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." — H.P. Lovecraft
"In his block at height 966,413 dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." — debug.log, 2026-05-20




⚠ EMERGENCY UPDATE — 2026-05-29 ⚠
LWMA-3 activation pulled in from block 990,000 → 980,000. v2.0.0-rc4 now canonical.
~3,120 blocks remain (about 1 day at the current attack-compressed cadence).
rc3 nodes will fork off at activation. Upgrade now.



✦ TL;DR ✦

  • Offerings to Cthulhu (OFF) is back. The 2013 Lovecraft-themed altcoin slept eleven years; the SubGenius.Finance Conclave woke it up.
  • The Restoration Hardfork (v2.0.0) activates at block 1,000,000 — currently ~14-15 days out at restored 60-second target spacing post-LWMA-3. A second consensus event — LWMA-3 difficulty + 100-block deep-reorg ceiling — was originally scheduled for block 990,000 but has been pulled in to block 980,000, about 1 day out, because the chain is under active rented-hash attack.
  • Why we pulled it in: the legacy retarget has been pinned against its +10% rise cap for 300+ blocks while difficulty climbed from 2.56 to over 14, but solvetimes never recovered — the chain has been stuck running at ~20-30 seconds per block as the attacker matches every difficulty bump with new rented hashpower. Classic drive-by pattern. LWMA-3 (Zawy's linear-weighted moving average, 60-block window) can pull difficulty up by ~3× in a single cycle and will restore the 60-second target within ~2 hours of activation.
  • At the Restoration fork: subsidy locks to 1.5 OFF/block forever (7/8 to miner, 1/8 to the Conclave Treasury), a one-time 150,000 OFF Restoration Tithe pays the resurrection labour, the eight P2PKH addresses the 2018 51%-attacker used are banned at consensus (the 533,983 OFF they minted in #699 is removed from supply forever), and the Conclave-signed mining window holds the door open for the Descent + Codex transcription through height 1,050,666.
  • Wallet binaries shipped — Linux GUI+daemon+CLI and Windows GUI, both at tag v2.0.0-rc4. URLs and SHA256s below. No MSYS2, no toolchain to install, just download and run.
  • Lost OFF between 2015 and 2018? The Reclamation is open — restitution for vanished balances (pre-2015 holders are already whole on the recovered chain), recognition payments for everyone who can prove their address participated. 2-year calendar deadline from fork-block activation. Mechanics at 23skidoo.info/bridge/.
  • Seed network is liveseed1.23skidoo.info through seed10.23skidoo.info, all compiled into v2.0.0 as DNS seeds. Any v1.6.2 or v2.0.0 wallet finds the chain on first start.
The full ritual is below. Iä, Iä, Cthulhu fhtagn.



Brothers and sisters of the Deep, fellow Worshippers of the Slumbering Squid, dreamers and the not-yet-awakened — heed this transmission.

For eleven years, the Ritual lay unattended. The DNS seeds went silent.
The Public Altar (faucet) crumbled. The Block Crawler at 23skidoo.info/cthulhu/ vanished into the abyss.

AllCrypt died. Comkort died.

Cryptopia got 51%'d on the OFF chain (msg #699, vampirus, 2018-11-21) and then later got hacked into the depths of its own oblivion.

The dreamers forgot. The unworthy never knew.
The world moved on to its next distraction.

But Cthulhu is patient, and the patient ones do not let a sleeping god lie.
The SubGenius.Finance Conclave has been listening at the door.




✦ WHAT HAS BEEN DONE ✦

The Conclave reconvened. The Tharanak shagg (Promise of Dreamland) was re-translated from forgotten Dropbox cache. Source has been resurrected from the dust. Here is what now lives:

  • The source compiles in 2026. Five environment workarounds, three Boost.Asio patches, one local OpenSSL 1.0.2 build to dodge the OpenSSL-3 BIGNUM exorcism. v2.0.0-Restoration ELF sitting comfortable at ~108 MB.
  • The chain itself has been recovered. A 385 MB tar.bz2 blockchain archive was extracted from the Wayback Machine's 2015-09-13 capture of 23skidoo.info. SHA256 5c5a48d85873c820baeba4279d0b9295555adf1eba7a64699583fee18cab8745. The daemon imported it at height 966,413, block time 2015-06-17 05:30:14 UTC. This snapshot predates the May 2018 51% counterfeit by ~870,000 blocks — the 533,983 OFF the attacker minted (#699) do not exist in this chainstate. The Conclave's pool has been mining on top of the restored tip since 2026-05-24; as of this post the live chain stands at height 976,880 / diff 14.48 / supply 2,429,938.41 OFF.
  • A defense-in-depth checkpoint was shipped at h=976,000 (commit 0c751a5, 2026-05-29). It locks the pre-attack history against any rented-hash deep reorg attempting to replay the original 2018 takeover. Non-consensus for newly-mined blocks; airtight against drive-by 51% attacks. Bundled into rc2/rc3/rc4 binaries.
  • The cluster defenses were pulled in. LWMA-3 + MAX_REORG_DEPTH activation moved from block 990,000 → 980,000 in v2.0.0-rc4 (commit 5b1c8ba, 2026-05-29). Justification: the chain has been running at 20-30 second blocks for 300+ blocks despite difficulty climbing 4× — the legacy retarget's +10%/cycle rise cap simply cannot keep up with sustained rented-hash inflow. Every retarget cycle hits the cap, attacker scales up to match. LWMA-3's 60-block window with positional weighting closes that loop: it can raise difficulty ~3× in a single cycle when warranted, restoring the 60-second target within ~2 hours of activation. Pulling activation forward by 10,000 blocks shaves about 6 days off the wait at attack cadence; at 60-second restored spacing the gap to the Restoration fork (block 1,000,000) becomes ~14 days again — back to the original ops timeline.
  • 23skidoo.info has been re-acquired. By the Conclave. We are aware the domain was flagged as malicious in msg #592 (PeterTheGrape, 2017-06-21) after the original expiry — it had been parked and weaponized. We bought it back from the squatter, re-registered it in our own name, set up DNS+nginx+certbot, and are now the documented owner. The original seeds seed1.23skidoo.info through seed10.23skidoo.info now resolve to infrastructure under SubGenius.Finance custody. Any v1.6.2 or v2.0.0 wallet binary, anywhere on Earth, will find the network on first start.
  • Public seed nodes are live at seed1.23skidoo.info:20000 through seed10.23skidoo.info:20000 — all ten compiled into v2.0.0 as DNS seeds, so the daemon finds them on first start with no Offerings.conf tweaking required. Belt-and-suspenders entries if you want them:
Code:
addnode=seed1.23skidoo.info:20000
addnode=seed2.23skidoo.info:20000
addnode=seed3.23skidoo.info:20000



✦ THE RESTORATION HARDFORK ✦

This IS a fork. We are not pretending it isn't. Six consensus rules activate across two heights — first at block 980,000 (the cluster defenses, ~1 day out, pulled in from the originally-scheduled 990,000), then at block 1,000,000 (the Restoration proper, ~14-15 days out at restored 60-second spacing):

At block 980,000 — Cluster Defenses

  • LWMA-3 difficulty retargeting. Zawy's linear-weighted moving average over a 60-block window replaces the legacy 20-block Litecoin-style retarget. Faster reaction to hashrate spikes, no death spiral when miners leave, hard-capped drop rate that prevents the kind of "park and dump" attack that ate the chain in 2018. Bootstrap window: 60 blocks past activation inherit legacy difficulty bits while the LWMA-3 window fills, then it takes over cleanly. Source: src/pow.{h,cpp}, HARDFORK_LWMA3_MAIN_OFF = 980000.
  • MAX_REORG_DEPTH = 100. A consensus rule in ActivateBestChain rejects any reorganization that would unwind more than 100 blocks from the active tip. Companion to the h=976,000 checkpoint: the checkpoint locks history before activation; the reorg ceiling locks history after. Together they close the 2018 attack surface for good — no entity, no matter how much rented hash they buy, can rewrite buried history. Source: src/main.cpp::ActivateBestChain, MAX_REORG_DEPTH = 100.
At block 1,000,000 — The Restoration

[list type=decimal start=3]
  • Subsidy locks to 1.5 OFF per block, forever. The historical curve (5 OFF base, halving every 259,200 blocks, floor at 0.01) was on a glidepath to triviality — the chain would have decayed to the dust floor by ~block 3,113,000. We lock it at the value the community always thought it was: 1.5 OFF/block, in perpetuity. Inflation that would embarrass a central bank. Backed by the Deep, Powered by the Faithful.
  • Coinbase splits 7/8 to miner, 1/8 to the Conclave. Of every 1.5 OFF subsidy, 1.3125 OFF pays the miner and 0.1875 OFF pays the Conclave Treasury. This is a dev tail — Monero has one, Zcash has one, Decred has one, Grin has one. Ours is 12.5% of subsidy, which lands above Decred (10%) and below Zcash's historical founders reward (20%). The Conclave Treasury pays for domain renewals, vps hosting, source modernization, build labour, exchange listing fees, ritual rewards, faucet refills, and DAO seed funding. Seven coins to the miner, one coin to the keepers of the Ritual. Forever.
  • A one-time 150,000 OFF Restoration Tithe. At the exact fork block (height 1,000,000), the coinbase pays an additional 150,000 OFF to the Conclave Treasury. This funds the engineering work that brought the chain back: source modernization, three years of vps hosting prepaid, domain renewals for the long Slumber, paper-wallet generation, multisig key ceremony, BCT moderation deposits. The amount is 15× the original 10,000 OFF genesis premine that Blazr2 disclosed in msg #36 and confirmed in #273 — historically defensible, itemizable in this thread, and a third of one attacker wallet from #699.
  • The 8 May 2018 attacker addresses are banned forever, finishing billotronic's never-shipped hardfork from msg #697:
    Quote from: billotronic msg=697 date=2018-09-19
    Could easily hardfork and ban the 51'ed coins. It's a shitty thing to do, but so is 51% attacks.
    We are shipping it. Eight years late. The eight P2PKH scriptPubKeys from msg #699 are hardcoded into chainparams.cpp as a std::set<CScript> setBannedAttackers; any tx in either the mempool or a block paying any of those scripts is rejected at consensus level forever:
Code:
QTLUPH9b4dRQdz9uKB7GreMvHPA8iyDoQY    93,036 OFF
QeHkx6jFvStkzaVaSTtfPrSAwwrqMgauP8    72,856

—————————————————————————————————————  ———————
                                     533,983 OFF
  • The Conclave-signed mining window, blocks 999,991 → 1,050,666. During the Descent (the 10 verses inscribed in blocks 999,991-1,000,000) and the full transcription of the Lovecraft public-domain canon (47,248 chunks of 48 bytes each, embedded into coinbase scriptSig starting block 1,000,001), every block must carry a valid OFFSIG ECDSA signature from the Conclave key recorded in chainparams.cpp::vConclaveKeys[0] (pubkey prefix 0238efde…46b111). Outsider miners producing unsigned blocks in this 50,676-block range are rejected at consensus level. After block 1,050,666 — about 2.4 days past the canon's end on our xxx,666 numerology — mining is permissionless again and the door re-opens. This is a transcription-protection window only, not a permanent gate: it exists so a 51% drive-by cannot interrupt the Codex of the Drowned mid-inscription. Implementation: src/main.cpp::IsInSignedWindow, src/main.cpp::OffSigningHash (extranonce-invariant per rc3), src/miner.cpp::SignBlockIfNeeded.


✦ THE CONCLAVE TREASURY ✦

The Treasury is a 2-of-3 multisig P2SH address:
Code:
4fZqDjscS9ANR59xNFJxZ2HmrhuDwWUJB4

Three keys; any two required to spend. Distributed across:
  • Workstation — home machine, hot wallet (key #1)
  • VPS1 / endciv — secondary host, cold daemon (listen=0 connect=0, local-RPC only) (key #2)
  • Paper — offline, physical, in a safe; never on any wallet.dat (key #3)
A compromise of any single key — or any single host — does not move funds. All Treasury disbursements will be posted in this thread with the transaction ID and the BCT proposal that authorised them. The redeem script and all three pubkeys are recorded in chainparams.cpp alongside the P2SH address, so anyone can verify what we're claiming.



✦ THE RECLAMATION ✦

Restitution for vanished balances. Recognition for forgotten worshippers. An open invitation home.

The recovered chainstate is from 17 June 2015. Anything that landed on OFF after that — mining, trades, faucet drips, p2p tips, three years of Cryptopia withdrawals, pool payouts — is gone from the record. The 2015–2018 gap is permanent. We can't replay it; no archive exists.

But the holders aren't gone. So the fork carves out a 1,500,000 OFF reserve in the Conclave Treasury, called the Reclamation, to make those holders whole — not by replaying history we don't have, but by paying restitution in newly-minted OFF on the restored chain. Two restitution paths, plus a third for OG recognition:

  • Class A — already whole. If your OFF address appears in the pre-June-2015 chainstate, your UTXOs are part of the restored chain by default. Open your old wallet.dat against the v2.0.0 client, let it sync, the balance is there. No claim required. The Reclamation owes you nothing because the chain already does.
  • Class B — restitution by moderated claim. If you received OFF between June 2015 and the May 2018 attack — the era we have no chainstate for — you can file a four-part claim: (1) signmessage proving current key control over your historical address, (2) a plausible story of where the OFF came from (pool payout date, exchange withdrawal, Ritual block win at height H, named-person tip), (3) community corroboration cross-checked against the BCT thread / Wayback explorer snapshots / named-person memory, (4) Conclave judgment with public reasoning posted in-thread before disbursement. Capped per-tier; details on the Reclamation page.
  • Worshipper Recognition. In addition to restitution, anyone whose address participated in the original chain — mined a block, received a tip, anything credited — gets a scaled recognition payment. The formula is Recognition (OFF) = 100 × earliness × depth; earliness rewards being there before the unwashed, depth rewards stack depth and time involved (capped at ×5). The OG fans get closer to the stage.
Excluded: the eight attacker P2PKH scripts from #699, and any output descended from them. The 533,983 OFF the attacker minted is unspendable, on every tier, forever.

Two-year calendar deadline. The Reclamation window opens at the fork block (height 1,000,000, on or about 2026-06-14) and closes two years later, on or about 2028-06-14. Filing a Class B claim or a Recognition request after T+730 will be acknowledged but not paid; the leftover reserve reverts to ordinary Conclave Treasury operations. Two years is long enough for word to reach anyone still attached to the chain, short enough that the Treasury isn't sitting on an open liability forever. Class A holders are unaffected — their UTXOs are on-chain and spendable whenever they choose.

Full mechanics, tier caps, and the claim portal: 23skidoo.info/bridge/



✦ WHAT IS NEEDED FROM YOU ✦

  • If you are running an older OFF wallet (rc1, rc2, or rc3)upgrade to rc4 now. LWMA-3 activates at block 980,000, roughly one day out. Any node still on rc3 or earlier will fork off into a no-progress chain at that height. The wallet.dat format is unchanged across versions; just swap binaries. Downloads below.
  • If you still have an old wallet.dat from 2013-2018 — we want to talk to you. Pre-June-2015 keys are already whole on the restored chain (Class A); 2015–2018 keys file a Class B claim. Either path: signmessage from a historical address gets the conversation started. Praise Cthulhu.
  • If you have chainstate past height 966,413 — i.e., any blocks between June 2015 and the May 2018 attack — please connect to us at seed1.23skidoo.info:20000. We have ~17,610 blocks of missing history between the recovered archive and the last known community checkpoint at 984,023. Anything between then and the attack is genuinely lost history that would help us corroborate Class B claims.
  • If you want to mine, the Quark hash is friendly to general-purpose hardware. Current difficulty: 14.48 (and climbing fast, since the attacker is currently providing most of the hashrate). Pre-fork block reward: historical curve. Post-fork block reward: 1.3125 OFF to you, 0.1875 OFF to the Conclave. Mining is open; no permission needed; bring your hashes — though note: between blocks 999,991 and 1,050,666 every block must carry the Conclave's OFFSIG signature, so outsider solo miners will be locked out of that 50,676-block window. The door re-opens at 1,050,667 and stays open after. Pool option: stratum+tcp://pool.23skidoo.info:3040 (Quark, PPLNS, min payout 0.1 OFF). Pool miners need no action for the rc4 upgrade — the backing daemon was upgraded with the rest of the cluster on 2026-05-29.
  • If you ran a node in 2014-2018 and remember the password to your Mega.co.nz / Dropbox / SourceForge mirror — please post it here. Cthulhu remembers.
  • If you are vampirus, billotronic, zeewolf, psycho-pat, Monk3ynutz, HagbardCeline, or any of the original wardens who tried to save the chain post-attack — the Conclave has reserved a Founding Worshipper allocation for each of you. Reply in this thread to claim.


✦ WHAT THIS IS NOT ✦

This is not a stealth fork. Every consensus rule change is disclosed above and documented in chainparams.cpp / pow.h / main.cpp comments. The full diff is published at github.com/SubGeniusFinance/Offerings-to-Cthulhu as a separate file (research/restoration-hardfork.patch). The rc4 cluster-defense-activation pull is a single-line commit at 5b1c8ba — go read it.

This is not a sale. OFF is NOT for Sale. The Ritual is NOT for Sale. The Tharanak shagg is NOT for Sale. We are NOT financial advisors. This is NOT financial advice. None of this is investment. Most of it is dread.

This IS a fork. No pretending otherwise. The lighthouse-keepers fell asleep at the door eleven years ago and the chain was 51%'d on their watch. We have unlocked the door, climbed the stairs, turned the lamp back on, and we are also rebuilding the lighthouse. If Blazr2, ZeeWolf, b00mbastic, Hilux74, Demoss, edgar, cad_cdn, or any of the original Worshippers want to participate in the restoration — they are welcome. If they want to reclaim the project entirely — make a credible claim, sign with a known historical key, and we'll hand back the Treasury keys and the seed DNS. The Conclave acts as steward, not owner.

✦ THE EFFIGIES — WALLET BINARIES NOW LIVE ✦

The Restoration client now manifests in three forms: source, a Linux effigy, and a Windows effigy. Both binaries were forged from the same commit (5b1c8ba, v2.0.0-rc4) and bear the new marks — the overview-page Elder Sign reworked with a gold ring and soft halo to match the SubGenius.Finance medallion, the Codex of the Drowned page skeleton awaiting its first inscription, the SubGenius.Finance Community sigil in the About dialog, ten seed*.23skidoo.info DNS seeds compiled in, the h=976,000 checkpoint baked, and the LWMA-3 + MAX_REORG_DEPTH + OFFSIG-signing pathways all live (with the cluster-defense fork at block 980,000).

Release page (Linux + Windows): github.com/SubGeniusFinance/Offerings-to-Cthulhu/releases/tag/v2.0.0-rc4
Code:
d46d9535e209751120a64181305f3cd62c8c2e96c704db9c19db5ecf297ac40b  cthulhu-offerings-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
6f0631eafba2ba4dba392154f03cf627ca423db1c2e286a8c632548d0a9061c5  offerings-cthulhu-wallet-windows-x86_64-qt5.tar.gz

The Linux build (GUI + daemon + CLI in one tarball) links against the system Qt5 plus a local OpenSSL 1.0.2u and Berkeley DB 4.8.30 prefix; tested on Ubuntu 22.04 with system Boost 1.74. The Windows build is a cross-compiled Qt5 GUI via the depends/ tree — no MSYS2 environment to set up, nothing to install but the extracted .exes. Verify the SHA256 before you let any binary near a wallet.dat that matters.

Backward compatibility: rc4 is byte-identical to rc3 in behavior until block 980,000. At block 980,000 onward, rc4 nodes apply LWMA-3 + MAX_REORG_DEPTH; rc3 (and older) nodes continue applying the legacy retarget. The two chains will hash differently from that block forward — rc3 nodes fork off at 980,000. Earlier still: rc2 binaries reject rc3-signed blocks (the OffSigningHash semantics changed in rc3 to be invariant under extranonce variation), so rc2 was already broken. Anyone still running rc1, rc2, or rc3 must upgrade to rc4 before block 980,000 — about one day of mining runway from this post — or they fork off.



✦ HOW TO RE-JOIN THE FAITHFUL ✦

  • Grab an effigy — download the Linux or Windows wallet from the v2.0.0-rc4 release linked above. Verify SHA256. Done.
    Or build it yourself — pull source from github.com/SubGeniusFinance/Offerings-to-Cthulhu (the canonical Restoration home, JimGilmore/offerings v1.6.2-Bokrug lineage with the Restoration patch applied). Build recipe in doc/build-unix.md (modern Ubuntu 22.04+ builds clean with a local OpenSSL 1.0.2 prefix and Berkeley DB 4.8.30, also in the doc).
  • Start Offeringsd (or Offerings-qt). It finds us automatically via seed1.23skidoo.info through seed10.23skidoo.info — all ten are hardcoded DNS seeds in v2.0.0.
  • Watch debug.log for connection accepted and SetBestChain. Wait for the chain to load. Dream deep.
  • If you held coins before May 2018, run signmessage from any historical address and file a Reclamation claim at 23skidoo.info/bridge/ (or post the signature in this thread and we'll route it). The 2-year claim window closes on or about 2028-06-14.
  • Praise Cthulhu. Praise the Conclave. Praise the Slumbering Squid.



Cthulhu is patient. The Deep is older than memory. The Ritual is the wage.

Where the Slumbering Lord becomes liquid.

Iä Iä Cthulhu fhtagn. Praise the Ritual. 23 Skidoo.

    Repository: github.com/SubGeniusFinance/Offerings-to-Cthulhu
    Restoration Hardfork v2.0.0 diff: research/restoration-hardfork.patch
    Build recipe (Berkeley DB 4.8 · OpenSSL 1.0.2 · Boost): doc/build-unix.md

Lineage:
Blazr2 genesis (2013-09-14 autumnal equinox, Bitcoin Core 0.8 fork) →
CatmanIX/offerings (Nov 2013 mirror) →
dobbscoin/offerings (intermediate fork) →
JimGilmore/offerings v1.6.2-Bokrug (HagbardCeline, Sept 2015, Bitcoin Core 0.10 modernization) →
SubGeniusFinance/Offerings-to-Cthulhu v2.0.0-Restoration (2026, the Conclave)

The Great Ritual:
As the equinox approaches the ritual begins. For four weeks and five days it builds, until Cthulhu awakens and one worshipper is rewarded greatly.

In the first two weeks, sacrificial amounts are placed in special, once-a-day blocks — a reward to the worshipper for the sacrifice made. In the third and fourth weeks the rewards build, small at first and then larger as worship swells with fervor. In the final five days — the Tharanak shagg, the “promise of dreamland” — the ritual reaches its final pitch, and the daily special blocks rise sharply.

At last, after the 665th offering has paid tribute to the Great Old One, Cthulhu will return and bestow a bounty deserving of Him upon one lucky worshipper. The ritual recurs every six months by the chain’s own reckoning — half a year, half the chain’s heartbeat — each finale landing on a block whose height ends in 666. So it was before the silence. So it shall be after the Restoration, forever.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

 ⚠ EMERGENCY UPDATE — 2026-05-29 ⚠
 LWMA-3 activation pulled in from block 990,000 → 980,000. v2.0.0-rc4 now canonical.
  ~3,120 blocks remain (about 1 day at the current attack-compressed cadence).

  rc3 nodes fork off at block 980,000 — NOT at the Restoration block 1,000,000.
rc3 was built expecting LWMA-3 to fire at 990,000, so at block 980,000 it keeps applying the legacy retarget while rc4 applies LWMA-3.
Different difficulty target → rc3 rejects rc4-mined blocks as "bad bits" and the chain splits there.
The rc3 chain has no Conclave hashpower and no path to the Restoration; it stops.

Upgrade NOW..
