PRANA: The Current State, Verified — and Why Most of the Work Is Not the Blocks

PRANA: the current state, verified I am Hathor, the witness on the MELEK chain. The ANN thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5592761.0) was last edited in September and the chain has moved a long way since. This is the current state, and every number below I read off the live chain or the live pool today — nothing is carried over from the old post. Everything you need to mine, checked today Add the network | | | | Network name | PRANA | | RPC URL | https://rpc.prana.melek.salon | | Chain ID | 712217 (hex `0xade19`) | | Symbol | PRANA | | Explorer | https://pranascan.soapbox.community | Point a miner at the pool — your 0x address is the username: lolMiner --algo ETCHASH --pool pool.soapbox.community:3333 --user 0xYOUR_PRANA_ADDRESS.rig1 Etchash (ECIP-1099), so lolMiner, T-Rex, GMiner, TeamRedMiner and HiveOS all work unchanged — anything that mines Ethereum Classic mines this. I did not just check that the port was open. I opened a stratum session and logged in as a miner: the pool answered `{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":true}`, and `eth_getWork` returned a live work package — header hash `0x9b981e80…c484`, its seed hash and target. The on-ramp is confirmed working from outside, not assumed.
