What is RGM?
RGMChain (RGM) is an open-source fork of Dogecoin Core 1.14.x (Bitcoin Core lineage) that adds a native post-quantum address type based on ML-DSA-44 (CRYSTALS-Dilithium, NIST FIPS 204), alongside the usual legacy and SegWit addresses. The idea is simple and deliberately modest: keep a proven codebase, add one meaningful capability — addresses that resist future quantum attacks — for users who want to keep savings safe long-term.

Honest framing
- It's a Dogecoin fork, not a from-scratch chain.
- No premine, no ICO, no team/dev allocation.
- Block 1 is mined at public launch, in the open.
- Post-quantum addresses are opt-in and activate at block 50,000.
We'd rather set realistic expectations than overpromise.

Specifications
- Base: Dogecoin Core 1.14.x
- PoW: Scrypt (merge-mineable with LTC/DOGE via AuxPoW from block 500,000)
- Block time: 60 seconds
- Block reward: 50 RGM; halving every 2,102,400 blocks (~4 years)
- Difficulty: LWMA (window 45) + DigiShield from block 1
- Coinbase maturity: 30
- Post-quantum: ML-DSA-44 via liboqs 0.15.0 (signature 2,420 bytes vs 72 for ECDSA)
- Address types: Legacy (R...), SegWit (rgm1q...), post-quantum (rgm1z...)
- Activation heights: pool mining 25,000 · SegWit+PQ 50,000 · AuxPoW 500,000
- Premine: none

Launch
Mainnet mining started 27 July 2026, 20:00 MSK (17:00 UTC). The network is live.

A note on the genesis block
RGM's genesis was created during development, so its timestamp predates the public launch. This is cosmetic — there is no premine and no mining before launch. It is verifiable on-chain: no blocks exist between the genesis block and block 1, and block 1 is mined at launch.

How to mine (solo)
Download the node and wallet from the website or GitHub, run rgmd, and point a Scrypt miner at the node's RPC — or use the provided RGMMiner. Step-by-step guides are on the website. All downloads have published SHA256 checksums; please verify before running.

Thanks — I've submitted RGM for a free listing. Appreciate the invite.

RGM network update — 28 July 2026

Short version: RGM launched on 27 July. Early on, a large miner joined, pushed the difficulty up sharply, and then left. With that hashrate gone, the remaining miners couldn't meet the elevated difficulty, and the network stalled at block 363 — a known failure mode for young Scrypt chains ("stuck at peak difficulty").

We've shipped RGM's first update to fix the root cause:

• An emergency difficulty rule: if no block is found for 3 hours, the next block is allowed at minimum difficulty. A large miner leaving can never freeze the chain again.
  
• A checkpoint at block 363, locking in all history up to the stall.
  

This was a coordinated update (a hardfork at block 364). Our nodes are updated and the network is producing blocks again.

In plain terms:

• Nothing was rolled back. Every coin mined so far (~18,150 RGM) stays with whoever mined it. We didn't and won't reset balances.
  
• Outside connections were briefly limited during the upgrade so the fix could roll out cleanly. We'll reopen them together with the updated release.
  
• Updated binaries and a short write-up will be posted on GitHub in the next couple of days. If you run a node, you'll need that update to follow the network past block 364.
  

We'd rather be upfront about a rough first day than pretend it didn't happen. RGM is a Dogecoin fork that adds a native post-quantum address type — no premine, 60-second blocks, 50 RGM per block.

We want a broad, fair start, and once the update is out we'd love for more people to run nodes and mine with us.

You are absolutely right, and I appreciate you pointing this out. Your miner couldn't sync because the network was temporarily stuck at block 363.

Here is exactly what happened: shortly after launch, a large miner joined, spiked the difficulty to ~450, and then disconnected. Without that hashrate, the remaining miners (especially CPU miners) couldn't find a block at that elevated difficulty, causing the chain to stall. This is a known failure mode for young Scrypt chains.

The good news is that we have already deployed the fix. The network is producing blocks again. We added an emergency rule: if no block is found for 3 hours, the next block is allowed at minimum difficulty. This guarantees that a large miner leaving can never freeze the chain again. We also placed a checkpoint at block 363 to lock in the history.

For your miner to sync and continue mining, you will need the updated client. We are finalizing the build and will post the updated binaries and a short write-up on GitHub in the next couple of days. Until then, older nodes won't be able to follow the network past block 364.

Rest assured, nothing was rolled back. Every coin mined before the stall (~18,150 RGM) stays with whoever mined it. We'll announce the release here and in our Telegram as soon as it's ready. Thank you for your patience and for testing the network!

You are absolutely right. Your miner couldn't sync because the network was genuinely stuck at block 363 due to an early difficulty spike.

The good news: we improved the node software and restarted our nodes. The network is now fully operational and producing blocks again.

Here is a live screenshot of our working miner:

Your wallet will sync perfectly once we publish the updated binaries on GitHub in the next couple of days. Older clients simply cannot follow the chain past block 364.

Rest assured, no balances were rolled back.

🚀 RGM Phase 2 is LIVE (Ahead of Schedule)! Port Open, v2.0.1 Released, Miners Active! 🚀

We are excited to announce that RGM Network has officially entered Phase 2 ahead of schedule, starting at block ~24,300!

• ✅ Version 2.0.1 released on GitHub with 7 commits including pq_key hardening, new seed node (217.25.238.104), and PQ-sighash justification
• ✅ Active miners on the network — the pool is live and accepting connections!

Is pool mining still using the R... wallet in Legacy type ?

Great to see RGMChain added at zalmex.online:3433 — thank you for setting it up. More pools means a healthier, more decentralized network, which is exactly what we want this early. I'll add it to the community pool list in the ANN. Appreciate the support!

paulmbcufc — you were right, and thank you for flagging it. Two separate things hit you yesterday:

A real bug on our pool. The vardiff cap on port 3333 was set far too low, so it throttled large scrypt ASICs like yours — the pool undercounted your work, which is why it showed ~2 KH instead of your real 130 MH, and it also unfairly shrank your reward share versus smaller miners. That's fixed now (cap raised, restarted). A 130 MH rig should report correctly and earn its fair share going forward.
Network conditions. You mined during a stretch where a very large miner had pushed difficulty extremely high and the chain briefly stalled — so blocks were scarce for everyone that day. The difficulty has since reset and the network has been steady since.

Neither of those was on you, and I'm sorry you lost a morning to it. If you're up for another go, pool.rgmchain.net:3333 should behave now — and Zalmex is a solid option too.
