CPU-only or not: No, the project targets CPU and GPU (CUDA support implemented).
Brief description: A decentralized project aimed at creating a fair ecosystem for miners on ordinary hardware. Plans include implementing Dark Gravity Wave v3 for difficulty stability and developing mobile wallets.
Where to mine/pool: Pools available: NovaGrid (1% fee, PPS payouts), Coin-Miners (1% fee) and Rplant. Mining 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 appeared on YouTube, the coin is already trading on the Exbitron exchange (RIN/USDT pair). Users are watching the project before starting mining.

Main topic of new messages: 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 reverted to version v1.0.1 with a fixed Argon2d memory parameter = 64 KB to ensure network stability.
New infrastructure: A new organization on GitHub (rincoin-community) has been created and a new repository rincoin-core launched for further development.
New tools: A test version of the Electrin wallet (Electrum fork) has been released and mining support added for the Zpool pool.
Fork preparation: Public discussion is underway on scenarios for changing monetary policy (halving, epoch length) before block 840,000.
Integration: The coin has been added to the CygnusPay payment platform.
Issues/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: Problems were recorded with compatibility of legacy CPUs and confusion over software versions due to frequent algorithm parameter changes.
Overall tone: Neutral‑business (transition to structured community governance amid technical challenges).
