HOW THE HERD
IS MINED.

Everything important is enforced by the Hash Goat smart contract.

GPU MINING

Connect your wallet and run the WebGPU miner. Every SHA-256 attempt is made locally on your graphics card. A valid proof is bound to your wallet and the latest challenge, so another wallet cannot copy it.

DIFFICULTY

Difficulty begins at 30 BITS. It retargets after every eight successful mints and can move by only one bit per retarget. During inactivity it falls by one bit every ten seconds until it reaches the current supply floor.

ABSOLUTE MAX40 BITS

IDLE DECAY−1 / 10 SEC

RETARGET8 MINTS

The floor rises by one bit every 500 mints and stops permanently at 35 BITS. The contract cannot repeat the uncontrolled 50-BIT spike.

PRICE CURVE

Hash Goats #1–250 are free. Hash Goats #251–500 cost 0.00015 ETH each. The price then adds 0.00015 ETH every 250 mints. If all 10,000 are mined, total primary-sale revenue is 29.25 ETH.

IPFS METADATA

Each token points to an immutable-style IPFS path ending in its token number and .json. The owner may correct the base URI before it is permanently frozen. Royalty is fixed at 5% in the collection contract.

STAY SAFE

The website never asks for your seed phrase or private key. Mining only computes hashes until a proof is found; minting happens only after you confirm a contract transaction in your wallet. TURBO mode uses more power and may increase GPU temperature.
