About the coin (initial summary)
- What the coin is: RinCoin (RIN)
- Mining algorithm: RinHash (sequence BLAKE3 → Argon2d → SHA3-256)
- CPU‑only or not: No, the project targets both CPU and GPU (CUDA support implemented).
- Brief description: A decentralized project aimed at creating a fair ecosystem for miners using ordinary hardware. Plans include implementing Dark Gravity Wave v3 for difficulty stability and developing mobile wallets.
- Where to mine/pool: Available pools are NovaGrid (1% fee, PPS payouts), Coin‑Miners (1% fee) and Rplant. Mining is supported via SRBMiner‑MULTI and specialized CUDA kernels.
- Wallet/links: There is a basic wallet and block explorer; a GUI wallet is under development. Official website: coin.rin.so.
- Community reaction: Active – tutorial videos have appeared on YouTube, the coin is already trading on the Exbitron exchange (pair RIN/USDT). Users are watching the project before starting mining.

- Main topic of new posts: Transition of the project to community governance (Rincoin Community Forge) and technical preparation for a major consensus upgrade at block 840 000.
- Key news/updates:
- Technical stabilization: After failed attempts to change algorithm parameters (RinHash v2), the team rolled back to version v1.0.1 with a fixed Argon2d memory parameter of 64 KB to ensure network stability.
- New infrastructure: A new GitHub organization (
rincoin-community) was created and a new repositoryrincoin-corelaunched for further development. - New tools: A test version of the Electrin wallet (Electrum fork) was released and mining support for the Zpool pool was added.
- Fork preparation: Public discussion is underway on scenarios for changing monetary policy (halving, epoch length) before block 840 000.
- Integration: The coin was added to the CygnusPay payment platform.
- Problems/complaints:
- Community dissatisfaction: One user expressed sharp negativity, calling the project a “mixed salad of shitcoins” with unclear utility and a dubious roadmap.
- Technical difficulties: Compatibility issues with legacy CPUs were recorded, and there was confusion over software versions due to frequent algorithm parameter changes.
- Overall tone: Neutral‑businesslike (transition to structured community governance amid technical challenges).

Main topic of new posts:
Aevust announced the release of the first release candidate, Rincoin Core v1.1.0‑rc1, which includes a block subsidy change and activation of replay protection (RIN3) starting at block 840 000.
Key news/updates:
- Rincoin Core v1.1.0‑rc1 published in the GitHub repository (link to release).
- At block 840 000 two events occur simultaneously:
- The block subsidy drops from 6.25 RIN to 4.00 RIN according to a custom halving schedule.
- RIN3 transaction‑version enforcement (RIP‑0009) becomes active – transactions must contain the version marker
0x52494e33; this provides replay protection in case of a chain split. - All nodes must upgrade to v1.1.0 before the specified height, otherwise they may end up on a separate chain.
- The release lists verified components, known limitations, and recommendations for node operators, pools, and exchanges.
Problems/complaints:
The post does not mention specific problems or complaints; the release is presented as a candidate for testing before the final launch.
Overall tone:
Neutral‑positive – an informational announcement about a ready release candidate and a call for testing ahead of the upcoming fork.
