Nockchain (NOCK)
Why we are highlighting it
================================================================
WHAT IS NOCKCHAIN?
----------------------
Nockchain (ticker: NOCK) is a somewhat unique Layer 1 blockchain: it's a ZK-Proof-of-Work, built around the "Nock" virtual machine. In plain English, instead of simply "crunching hashes" like a classic PoW, each block carries a cryptographic proof
(STARK) of a calculation actually performed. Mining NOCK is therefore producing verifiable computation: you are paid to generate proofs, not just to burn electricity for nothing.
LET'S BE HONEST: THIS IS NOT SOME NEW TREND OF THE WEEK
---------------------------------------------------------
We aren't going to sell you a dream. Nockchain is NOT a project that came out yesterday: the mainnet has been running since May 2025, and the network is already very active
and the token is already valued and traded. So no, we aren't on a "very first day" with a ridiculous difficulty to collect.
So why are we talking about it today? Because of the tool we put in the MANAGER.
WHAT IS NEW: THE MINER + THE MANAGER POOL
---------------------------------------------------
What changes the game is the miner + pool duo that we integrated into the PulseMining MANAGER:
- the miner: hashforge (CUDA), a recent GPU miner (v0.8.2);
- the pool: nockhash.xyz (stratum+ssl://mine.nockhash.xyz:3333).
The key point: the "official" Nockchain miner is CPU-only.
In other words, by default, the vast majority of people mine NOCK with their processor. We are putting a real GPU solution in your hands — and on this type of PoW, the GPU literally crushes the CPU in hashrate.
