About the coin (primary summary)

  • What coin: Nonsense (ticker NNN)
  • Mining algorithm: FishHashPlus (PoW) within a GHOSTDAG chain
  • CPU-only or not: CPU mining is supported (via the nonsenseminer module in Altbase Wallet); no mentions of GPU mining
  • Brief description: The project positions NNN as a currency for experimental software, art and side‑projects, operating in its own PoW network with a GHOSTDAG ledger, fixed emission (max 2 billion NNN, initial subsidy 20 NNN per block, target block time 1 sec).
  • Where to mine/pool: Mining is possible via Altbase Wallet – either through a remote node (Altbase NNN Solo) or through a self‑synchronizing local node; no pools mentioned.
  • Wallet/links: Official site nonsense.rodeo, block explorer, GitHub repository, Discord chat; Altbase Wallet is also mentioned for management and mining.
  • Community reaction: lightbit rated the project as interesting and noted the attractive site; BoozyTalking encountered an issue launching the Windows wallet (daemon needs to be started); HashCaliber requested an interview for their site; the nonsense-team provided instructions for starting CPU mining via Altbase Wallet.

Summary of new messages

Main topic of new messages

A new message from the Nonsense team (nonsense-team) points to an issue with the Windows wallet Altbase NNN Solo — the daemon does not start correctly, preventing users from using the wallet.

Key news/updates

  • Wallet issue: Windows wallet does not work, daemon must be started separately (nonsensewallet start-daemon)
  • Error clarification: In version v2.3.0 the CLI shows "daemon is not running" after a 1‑second timeout, even if the daemon is actually running — this is due to initialization time before connecting to the node
  • Diagnostic requirements: Need daemon start logs ("Listening to TCP", "Connecting to a node") and version (--version)

Issues/complaints

  • Windows wallet malfunction: User BoozyTalking cannot launch nonsensewallet.exe, the system reports that the daemon is not running
  • Launch issues: Even with a running process, a false error message appears due to connection timeout

Overall tone

Neutral‑technical — the post contains a concrete instruction to resolve the issue, but also requests additional details from the community for clarification.


Main takeaways:

  • Altbase NNN Solo wallet has daemon launch problems
  • The "daemon is not running" error in v2.3.0 is normal behavior during initialization timeout
  • Logs and version are needed for further diagnosis

Main topic of new messages: User altmikex asked about the project's development plans and roadmap, to which the team responded briefly, promising to publish a roadmap soon.

Key news/updates:

  • The nonsense-team confirmed that the roadmap is under development and will be announced soon.

Issues/complaints: No issues or complaints were expressed in the new messages.

Overall tone: Neutral.

Main topic of new messages: The Nonsense team shares network progress (close to a million blocks and emission growth), calls for precise bug reporting and reports temporary issues with one of the nodes.

Key news/updates:

  • The network has counted more than 944 000 blocks (≈ 675 000 new since September 13).
  • The circulating supply is about 18.89 million NNN (~0.94 % of the 2 billion max).
  • Emphasis on approaching the first million‑block milestone at an early emission stage.

Issues/complaints:

  • Users encounter the wallet message “daemon is not running” even though the daemon is actually running – diagnostics need improvement.
  • One of the NNN nodes shows unstable behavior (unexpected restarts), causing connection interruptions.

Overall tone: Neutral‑positive – the team highlights achievements but openly acknowledges technical shortcomings and asks the community to help fix them.

Summary of new messages

Main topic of new messages

The NNS (nonsense-team) posted a warning about a potential issue with the maximum transaction size when accumulating mining rewards of NNN in the Altbase Wallet.

Key news/updates

  • Transaction mass limit: The current wallet implementation tries to gather all available UTXOs into a single transaction, which may exceed the mass limit of 100 000 and trigger the error QuoteNonsense transaction has too many UTXOs.
  • Splitting issue: The large transaction is not automatically split into several smaller ones, so increasing the fee does not help resolve the issue.
  • Recommendation: It is recommended to consolidate the wallet before sending or use smaller amounts to avoid exceeding the limit.

Issues/complaints

  • Technical problem: When accumulating many NNN blocks, the wallet may try to send an overly large transaction, resulting in rejection due to exceeding the mass limit.
  • Lack of automatic splitting: The system does not suggest splitting a large transaction into parts even when there are sufficient funds to send.

Overall tone

Neutral — the post is informational with practical advice for users and does not contain scams or aggressive accusations.


Main takeaways:

  • Field: NNS (Nonsense) — CPU‑minable coin with PoW algorithm FishHashPlus in a GHOSTDAG network
  • Field: Altbase Wallet — tool for managing and mining NNN
  • Field: Transaction mass limit 100 000 — critical parameter for the wallet
  • Field: Solution — wallet consolidation or using small sends

Main topic of new messages:

The nonsense-team clarified RAM requirements for mining NNN, explaining the difference between using the full and light dataset modes.

Key news/updates:

  • Altbase Wallet launches the official nonsenseminer with the --light-dataset flag, which uses a smaller cache and computes dataset elements “on the fly”, reducing RAM usage at the cost of hash speed.
  • The standalone miner by default loads the full dataset (≈4.5 GiB), pre‑computing it, which increases memory usage but eliminates repeated calculations during mining.
  • To correctly compare hash rates between Altbase and a standalone miner, the chosen dataset mode and number of workers must be taken into account.

Issues/complaints:

None listed.

Overall tone:

Neutral‑informative.
