CPU‑only or not: CPU‑oriented (goal – preserve the relevance of ordinary processors)
Brief description: QProof is being developed as an open PoW cryptocurrency in which post‑quantum security is built into the protocol layer rather than added later. The project promises a fair launch with no premine, founder‑ or developer‑allocation, no ICO/presale, and funding planned through optional infrastructure services; merge‑mining support is also provided as a first‑class consensus capability.
Where to mine/pool: Not specified (no public mining pool or mainnet yet).
Wallet/links: Not specified.
Community reaction: In the first replies only a reserved post from the developer with an image; no discussion or comments from the community.

Main topic of the new messages: QProof developers published an update about the completion of a large validation and cleanup effort, brought the specification up to date (changing the ticker to QPF and clarifying network parameters) and shared a roadmap confirming the completion of Phase 0 of the project’s foundation.
Key news/updates:
Completed a major validation/cleanup pass (reconciliation of public history, decommissioning of old test runtimes, alignment of a three‑stage test fleet, investigation of historical mining failures on Windows, reproduction of the current mining path from fresh code and re‑verification of the current HEAD).
Updated the OP‑post of the thread: the canonical human‑readable ticker is now QPF (old references to QPR remain in historical posts).
Clarified protocol parameters:
target block interval — 120 seconds;
per‑block genesis‑anchored ASERT after a three‑block bootstrap;
ASERT half‑life — 4 hours;
initial subsidy — 25 QPF per block;
subsidy epochs calculated as floor(previous × 4/5);
constant tail subsidy — 1 QPF;
zero premine, founder‑ and developer‑allocation;
current mainnet described as provisional development genesis;
merge‑mining v1 recognized but inactive;
Windows‑specific Agent‑Safe IPC not implemented (fail‑closed).
The roadmap confirms that Phase 0 – Core Foundation & Development Baseline is completed and checkpointed; implemented: RandomX PoW, per‑block ASERT, verified pre‑mainnet monetary schedule, persistent LMDB chain‑state recovery, fork‑aware synchronization, IPv4/IPv6 network stack, bounded mempool/tx relay, mining‑template and block‑submission RPC, external reference miner, decentralized P2Pool sharechain foundation, ML‑DSA‑65 transaction authentication, ML‑KEM‑768 payload encryption, Unix/Linux Agent‑Safe wallet IPC foundation, deterministic validation on Windows and Linux, multi‑machine mining, restart and recovery testing.
Issues/complaints: No explicit complaints; the only note is that the Windows‑specific Agent‑Safe IPC is not yet implemented (operates in fail‑closed mode), which may be considered a limitation for full cross‑platform support.
Overall tone: Positive/neutral – emphasis on development progress, completion of the base phase, and preparation for further testing before mainnet.
