- Brief Description: A decentralized network using a hybrid PoW+PoS consensus mechanism. The project is positioned as an open-source solution with protection against ASIC miners.
- Where to mine/pool: Official pool (link in post), EasyMiner available for Windows and a native miner for Linux.
- Wallet/Links: Web wallet (browser-based), Windows GUI wallet (v1.0.1), GitHub, official website civiclight.xyz.
- Community Reaction: Users pointed out issues with block display in the explorer and the absence of a Linux miner (issues resolved by the developer). There were also questions regarding the availability of Discord and a Windows wallet.
Update History (Deltas)
2026-08-08 16:47 UTC β 58 new posts
- Main Theme of New Messages: Resolution of a critical error in the P2P protocol that prevented nodes from synchronizing, and the launch of a new official mining pool.
- Key News/Updates:
- New Pool Launch: Migration to a more stable infrastructure (address:
103.180.165.99). Pool fee is 1%, payouts are automatic (every hour). - Core Fix: The developer fixed a bug in the code (
pchMessageStart) that prevented different node versions from "seeing" each other. The fix has been implemented on the server side, but full software updates for users (binary files) are being prepared. - New Interface: Updated URL for checking balances and miner statistics.
- Issues/Complaints:
- Data Reset: Users report missing coins and block height resets (likely due to network/core parameter updates).
- Technical Errors: Complaints about the inability to synchronize the Windows wallet and library errors (
libfmt.so.8) when running on newer versions of Ubuntu. - Display Issues: Errors when attempting to check earned funds via old links.
- General Tone: Negatively tense (due to users losing funds and technical failures), despite the developer's attempts to stabilize the network.

- Main Theme of New Messages: Expansion of mining infrastructure, the coin appearing on analytical platforms, and a technical protocol update to stabilize block times.
- Key News/Updates:
- New Pool: CivicNet has been officially added to RabbitMiner, providing miners with an additional independent platform.
- Tracker Listing: The project began being tracked on the Blockspot.io platform, increasing the coin's visibility to new investors.
- Technical Update (v3.0.3): A bug in the retarget logic was fixed. Previously, due to incorrect data borrowing from PoS blocks, PoW block generation time was unstable. The fix will ensure a stable block time (approximately 60 seconds) and takes effect on August 17, 2026.
- Issues/Complaints: A bug was identified in the difficulty algorithm that led to unpredictable spikes in block generation time during transitions between PoW and PoS.
- General Tone: Positive (emphasis on development and bug fixes).

- Main Theme of New Messages: Updates regarding CivicNet network operations: block time instability after PoW difficulty adjustment, revision of the emission schedule (new "one-time" reward cut and gradual decrease), release of a custom RandomX CPU miner, and critical fixes in the PoS core.
- Key News/Updates:
β Following the recent PoW difficulty adjustment, block time decreased to a few seconds (average < 30s) but has not yet stabilized at the target 60s; further tuning of the PoW+PoS mechanism is required.
β A new emission schedule has been announced: the reward remains at 77 CIVIC until block 2,100,000 (~4 years), then drops once by 25% to 57.75 CIVIC, after which the reward will decrease by 0.0000377% in every block forever; the total supply limit (315 million CIVIC) remains unchanged.
β A custom RandomX CPU miner has been developed; the author is seeking partnerships with pools for collaboration (link provided).
β CivicNet Core v3.0.5 released: two PoS staking bugs fixed (rejection of valid stakes and core value mismatch) and the PoS difficulty target adjustment mechanism redesigned; activation scheduled for August 21, 2026, 09:00 UTC.
- Issues/Complaints:
β Block time still does not meet the target value of 60s, indicating a need for further refinement of the PoW+PoS interaction.
β Previous staking attempts were rejected due to two discovered bugs (lack of anti-clustering rule pre-check and core value mismatch), and the PoS difficulty adjustment mechanism could hang during low staking activity.
- General Tone: Mostly constructive and problem-solving oriented, with an emphasis on technical improvements and community collaboration.
2026-08-29 00:11 UTC β 2 new posts
- Main Theme of New Messages: Release of CivicNet core fix v3.0.6, resolving the discrepancy between stake-target and chain-work, and the addition of a new mining pool from ViporLab in the USA.
- Key News/Updates:
- CivicNet Core v3.0.6 (commit dc64d5948) activated on 2026-08-26 14:00 UTC; synchronization of nStakeTarget and ComputeExpectedStakeTarget fixed, chain-work drift and false stake rejections eliminated.
- ViporLab Integration: new US-based Stratum pool (https://noj.viporlab.net stratum+tcp://lab.viporlab.net:5090), stable operation, normal payouts.
- Expansion of mining infrastructure provides miners with an additional independent option for distributing hashrate.
- Issues/Complaints: The message describes previously existing problems (chain-work drift and false stake rejections in v3.0.5) which are now fixed; there are no current complaints.
- General Tone: Positive β emphasis on bug fixes and growth of network infrastructure.

Main Theme of New Messages: A new asset-lending system (Hybrid Value Layer, HVL) is being developed within the CivicNet (CIVIC) ecosystem β an infrastructure for creating and managing additional digital assets within the network.
Key News/Updates:
- Launch of Hybrid Value Layer (HVL) β a new asset framework to expand CivicNet beyond the base CIVIC token.
- HVL supports a full asset lifecycle: creation (CREATE), issuance (MINT), transfer (TRANSFER), burning (BURN), conversion (CONVERT_OUT), and time-based release (VESTING_RELEASE).
- Includes advanced features: custom asset creation, controlled minting, limited supply, issuance deadlines, asset burning, CIVIC reserving, conversion via CONVERT_OUT, and vesting period management.
- The project is positioned as a more complex model than a standard token, emphasizing flexibility and decentralization.
Issues/Complaints: No specific problems or complaints are mentioned in the new messages β this is a primary technical announcement of new functionality without grievances.
General Tone: Positive β announcement of a new functional layer focused on ecosystem development and expanding user capabilities.

β’ Key News/Updates:
- Release of CivicNet Core v3.0.7.
- HVL (Hybrid Value Layer) activated on mainnet as of 2026-09-01 08:00 UTC.
- HVL allows the issuance of native tokens directly in the protocol, without smart contracts, bridges, or external execution layers.
- Absence of on-chain governance and protocol pricing β parameters remain part of the node configuration.
β’ Issues/Complaints: None specified.

- Key News/Updates:
- NitroPool has officially added support for CivicNet (CIVIC) with PROP and SOLO modes in the AU, EU, and US regions.
- A NitroPool CPU miner is available for Windows, Linux, and Android with no dev fee.
- Video guides for mining on Windows and Linux have been provided.
- Issues/Complaints:
- User 13y85t noted that the project's official Discord channel is filled with panic and messages about the project's death, which contradicts claims of its activity.
- General Tone: Neutral β mixed signals: technical activity and new mining opportunities, but also growing distrust from a portion of the community.
