How to mine Hoosat
In this post I will briefly describe Hoosat blockchain, and will provide mining tips for those who want to participate.
About Hoosat blockchain
The source-code of Hoosat is forked from Pyrin (which is forked from KASPA), whith only difference in the hashing algorithm. Hoosat as Pyrin is using Blake 3, a new resistent algorithm. The Hoosat native token is HTN, and is already supported by some exchanges.
Hoosat was launched in March 2024, with no pre-mine or pre-sales.Emission schedule
At the moment this blog is written, about 3.36% is mined. The emission schedule follows a halving pattern once per year, with smooth monthly reductions.
The first reward reduction will take place at 2024-07-02.
Max. supply is 17 billion coins.
Initially the block reward starts with 100.00 HTN
Mining Hoosat
Hoosat is using a Pyrinhash which is combination of kHeavyHash hashed on top with Blake 3.
Hoosat Wallet
Currently (mid March 2024) the Hoosat is in a very early stage.
The only way to create a wallet is to download and install htnwalet (included in the htnpad package).
You can download from
htnpad
Blake 3 is ASIC resistent algorithm, and works best for GPU mining.
Here are some of the mining software, that can be used for mining Hoosat.

To start mining
If your Windows suggest that the miners are "potentially unwanted" software, you may need to select "Allow on device" option in Windows Security settings.
Find the nearest server to your geographical area, and ping it. If the ping is done for less than 100ms, you can consider this server for mining.
$ ping nushypool.comRun the miner. The command line depends from you miner, and your OS. For example to start mining with NBMiner, the run command is:
$ ./lolMiner --algo PYRIN --pool nushypool.com:40012 --user [address].[workername]You can quickly configure your command in our HTN Pool Page and tap "Start Mining" button.
Good luck!
