Whitepaper

This is a transparent starting point, not a completed technical whitepaper. The final document must match implemented consensus rules and receive independent review.

1. Purpose

Hashora aims to develop a transparent proof-of-work cryptocurrency with practical participation paths for independent miners and users.

2. Consensus and validation

The project is evaluating a mature Bitcoin-derived node implementation. The final document must specify transaction validation, block structure, chain selection, proof-of-work target rules and consensus parameters.

3. Mining and difficulty

The design must explain block timing, difficulty adjustment, solo mining and any supported pool interface. Responsive difficulty does not by itself prevent a dominant miner from reorganising a low-hash-rate chain.

4. Issuance and incentives

The block reward, issuance schedule, fees and any supply cap have not yet been finalised. Publish worked examples and assumptions before launch.

5. Security and limitations

Discuss hash-rate concentration, reorganisation attacks, key theft, software vulnerabilities, mining centralisation and the limits of consensus. No cryptocurrency can promise zero risk.

6. Roadmap

1. Evaluate codebase and publish technical design.
2. Implement and test network parameters and genesis configuration.
3. Run a public testnet.
4. Obtain independent code and security review.
5. Publish a mainnet readiness checklist.
