About the coin (initial summary)
- What the coin is: QProof (QPR)
- Mining algorithm: RandomX (used as the PoW base)
- 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 level, not added later. The project promises a fair launch without premine, founder‑ or developer‑allocation, without ICO/presale, and funding is 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.

2026-08-29 00:13 UTC — 4 new posts
- Main topic of the new messages: QProof developers published an update on the completion of a major 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 foundation.
- Key news/updates:
- Completed a large validation/cleanup pass (reconciliation of public history, decommissioning old test runtimes, alignment of a three‑stage test fleet, investigation of historical mining failures on Windows, reproducing the current mining path from fresh code and re‑checking the current HEAD).
- Updated the branch OP‑post: the canonical human‑readable ticker is now QPF (old QPR links left in historical posts).
- Clarified protocol parameters:
- target block interval — 120 seconds;
- per‑block genesis‑anchored ASERT after 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 authorization, 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.
- Problems/complaints: no explicit complaints; noted only 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.

• Main topic of the new messages: QProof developer demonstrates a successful proof‑of‑concept of transferring post‑quantum authority via encrypted transactions and reports completion of technical cleanup, evidence verification, and launch of the second roadmap phase aimed at hardening the network against hostile conditions.
• Key news/updates:
- Bearer Parcel / Fragments of Value: the ability to transfer post‑quantum‑protected authority (ML‑DSA) via a fragmented encrypted payload was confirmed; the test succeeded (13 transactions, 116 blocks, recovery and sweep of QPF).
- Housekeeping & Evidence Verification: workspace cleanup performed, archiving of outdated artifacts, accounting reconciliation and re‑verification of key evidence.
- Updated roadmap (V2): Phase 2 “Hostile‑Network / Resource Hardening” marked as ACTIVE / IN PROGRESS; Unit 1 checkpointed, Unit 2 next; the roadmap remains evidence‑driven.
• Problems/complaints: none.
• Overall tone: positive.

Main topic of the new messages:
QProof developers report completion of Phases 2 and 3 hardening work, discuss wallet design details, and demonstrate a working prototype of encrypted payload in the GUI wallet.
Key news/updates:
- Phase 2 – Hostile‑Network / Resource Hardening: completed and checkpointed; includes six units: protection against P2Pool admission saturation, per‑peer limits on getblocks, getdata, gettx, handling of unsolicited blocks, and repeated handshake/hello.
- Phase 3 – Long‑Lived Storage / LMDB Durability: completed with 66/66 tests passed; implements live LMDB map growth on MDB_MAP_FULL, automatic transaction retry after map growth, observability of map size and counters, measurement of growth over a 1000‑block run, atomic preservation of blocks/undo/active‑tip, damage detection and fail‑closed recovery, coverage of ENOSPC scenario on commit error, verification of historical storage/pruning limits.
- Wallet design (Agent‑Safe): bounded TTL for authorized artifacts confirmed, ability to query status via read‑only path
tx.statuswithout re‑authorization; discussion of binding capability token to a specific process/integrity level in a future Windows named‑pipe implementation. - GUI wallet – encrypted payload POC: successful end‑to‑end transfer of a 500‑byte SVG image together with a 1 QPF payment; the flow includes PREPARE → AUTHORIZE → SUBMIT → mempool → mining → confirmation → DECRYPT → SAVE, with SHA‑256 identity check before and after.
Problems/complaints:
No explicit problems or complaints reported; only clarifying questions about artifact lifetime and the scope of the capability token on Windows.
Overall tone:
Positive/neutral – emphasis on progress in network hardening, storage reliability, and wallet security.

Main topic of the new messages:
QProof developer showed that the GUI wallet can transmit multiple different payloads (text and files) in a single encrypted transaction and successfully retrieve them after mining.
Key news/updates:
- Demonstration of multi‑file payload: a link text, a
helper.dllfile (8 bytes) and atiny.ziparchive (167 bytes) were sent in a single transaction. - Total payload size was 243 of 512 bytes, confirming that the limit is set in bytes, not in text characters.
- Text is encoded in UTF‑8, files are transmitted as raw bytes; the application determines their meaning.
- Full end‑to‑end chain shown: preparation in the sender GUI → authorization → submission to the
qproofdmempool → mining → confirmation → receipt and decryption by the recipient. - A screenshot visualizing the process is attached (link to image).
Problems/complaints:
- This update does not mention any problems, errors, or negative community feedback.
Overall tone:
Positive – the developer emphasizes the successful expansion of wallet capabilities and demonstrates a working prototype.

Main topic of the new messages:
In the new posts participants report that the Discord link is no longer valid, and the developer announced that the QProof project was sold to a private investor and is no longer public.
Key news/updates:
- The QProof (QPR) project was sold to a private investor; further development as an open cryptocurrency has been halted.
Problems/complaints:
- The Discord server link is no longer valid, users are requesting a new invite link.
- The sale deprives the community of access to the source code and further public development.
Overall tone:
Negative – the announcement of the project's sale and the Discord unavailability cause concern and disappointment among participants.
