How do you do, fellow Nanites? I'm excited to announce that NanoPow v3 is available now! There aren't really any breaking changes (unless you were importing the library with the now-deprecated global.min.js and polluting your global namespace, in which case shame!) so this could have been a v2.1, but the improvements are significant enough that I had to skip right to the next major version if for no other reason than to encourage people to upgrade! Here's what's new:

Changelog

  • Create new WebGL downsampling fragment shader which enables larger canvases and more nonces per frame without introducing lag due to synchronous readback. This change alone makes WebGL competitive with WebGPU on certain platforms, so even your older browsers can get faster PoW.
  • Overhaul both WebGPU and WebGL to use vec4 for parallel operation hinting on supported hardware (i.e. why add two numbers when you can add FOUR).
  • Refactor WebGL implementation of BLAKE2b:
    • Simplify pixel-coordinate-based nonce variation.
    • Unroll main G mix function loop for improved performance.
    • Add input to better differentiate between search and validate processes.
  • Simplify WebGL vertex shader now that it is only required for drawing the fullscreen quad and not for pixel coordinates.
  • Maintain WebGL canvas between draw calls unless level-of-effort has changed.
  • Attempt to handle WebGL context loss, with improved reset function, by reinitializing class.
  • Reduce promise stack buildup when waiting for WebGL query result.
  • Fix color buffer clearing by using correct API function.
  • Improve nonce seed generation in both WebGL and WebGPU by switching from crypto random to insecure random (which is OK in the context of PoW, we're not generating keys here).
  • Reduce garbage collection by reusing static variables.
  • Add debugging throughout that obeys user-provided debug flag which is now stored as a static variable as well.
  • Add Typescript typings for new WebGL types.
  • Fix minor issues with test page.
  • Add benchmark results table.

Benchmarks

As it turns out, my last post for v2 had slightly incorrect PoW-per-second (pps) benchmarks due to a bug in my averaging calculations. I've fixed that and narrowed my testing cases to make the results more meaningful. I'm not going to post them here because there are a lot, but you can see my results at the links below. However, here is a summary of findings I thought were interesting.

  • Chromium WebGPU and Firefox WebGL are the clear winners. Using send block threshold on an Nvidia RTX 3070:
    • I got Chromium WebGPU to generate a smidge over 4 pps
    • Firefox WebGL generated a little more than 3.1 pps
  • WebGL downsampling shader minimized readback lag and thus enabled much larger frames
  • WebGPU improved dramatically on non-mobile platforms, almost halving frame times
  • iOS Safari WebGPU performance was maintained between versions
  • Chromium WebGL seems to suffer from an Nvidia driver issue on my system
  • Firefox WebGPU exhibits a strange implementation bottleneck
    • It seems to restricts each pass to a minimum of 200ms
    • Not shown here: This minimum is higher or lower depending on dispatch size
  • Maximum WebGL canvas size varies
    • Safari only supports up to 4096x4096
    • Chromium supports up to 5760x5760
    • Firefox supports up to a whopping 8192x8192 which is actually why it's competitive with WebGPU

Buy why?

omg PoW sucks, why even work on this project?

  • PoW is required right now.
  • Nano devs want to remove PoW, but there is no timeline right now.
  • I have learned a ton and really enjoy it!

  • In case you missed it, this launched ~2 weeks ago:
  • After some back and forth we finally have a quote for our security audit: $5.5k, to be done by OtterSec.
  • The fundraising campaign will run until the end of this year. If we don't reach our goal by that time, then I'll have to refund the contributions due to lack of enough interest (open to suggestions)

👊 How to help:

  • Chip in to the audit fund if you can (we're already at 13%, thanks to all who donated!!)
  • Share this with other Nano/crypto enthusiasts
  • Send feedback (more info on the website)

So far I'm using Cake which seems okay and has a "sign/verify" feature that looks like it's printable text only and also it's written in Dart. Before I go and learn Dart so I can embrace and extend Cake Wallet, MIT license allows that, what other open-source wallets are available that already interact with Nano? What languages are they written in? Anyone have any experience adding new features?

I know I’m not the first person to think about this, but why hasn’t AI-driven payments taken off yet? AI can make content, code, automate tasks, and all that, but it still can’t just pay for the work it needs. Like, if it can generate a video, why can’t it pay an editor to polish it? Or if it writes code, why can’t it hire someone to debug it?

Nano seems like the best option since it’s instant and feeless, but no one’s really pushing for it as the standard for AI transactions. Nanogpt seems like the most basic entry point, but it cant hold it's own wallet yet. There’s no system in place for AI to pay other AIs or hire people automatically. Feels like something that should already exist.

Has anyone actually tried making this happen? What’s holding it back?

With V28 just around the corner that signifies the integration of commercial grade status, I sincerely believe now is the BEST time to share the benefits of Nano and get new people onboard.

We will not gain adoption and recognition if we all have the mindset that 'others will do it for us, while I sit back and wait for adoption to happen'.

  • We cannot rely on others to do it. We have to rely on ourselves, as individuals, to push the word out there.

Let's all do our part, especially on X. Whether you like it or not, X is the best platform to share Nano's benefits over other crypto currencies.

Onwards, Nano!

I personally believe quantum mechanics are still too theoretical much like the notion of superconductors for it to ever function in reality, but a friend of mine still to this day (for 10 years) believes that it can somehow be made into a chip that can calculate massive sums of problems that takes supercomputers months to solve within milliseconds.

Assuming this hypothetical monster quantum technology actually gets invented, would this threaten nano? In my understanding of nano, this should only stand to benefit nano, but I might be wrong or not even asking the right question due to ignorance. Does the community have any thoughts about this?

When I look at the price of nano I reminice in a time when it used to be at least 5 dollars to buy this hack of a coin. I couldn't believe it, a store of value that could help any country and its devaluating currency. The active reddit community and the steady flow of updates. Maybe we should believe this dream is still possible, electronic cash, someone should make a map of the countries that hold the most NANO. Bitcoin is showing the way of where the river is flowing. But nothing is impossible, cryptocurrencies are the way to get our money back from the government. Shill DOGE and promote NANO. Believe in the power of this technology.

Hi guys, I'm Yeicrypto, probably the most active $XNO "shiller" on X right now (@yeicrypto).

One of the main reasons Nano remains unknown is people's ignorance, not only about XNO, but also about their own crypto "investments."

They truly think LTC, DOGE, or XRP are the "fastest" or "cheapest" cryptocurrencies for two main reasons:

  1. A surprisingly big chunk of them has never actually used their assets. I know many maxis and big accounts who are completely clueless about their own holdings.

  2. Most retail don't know any better and ignorantly believe and spread their asset's/community's propaganda.

So here's my advice: GO EDUCATE THEM.

Go to X search and look for "xrp fastest," "doge cheapest," "ltc fast" and similar combinations.

Explain to them why instant + no fees is way better than "fast and cheap" (some of them are not even remotely fast or cheap).

Let them know why a fully distributed fixed supply is crucial in the mid/long term, especially when most of them are constantly being dumped on by miners, stakers, or private companies (and how this dumping potential gets even worse as their asset prices go up).

I'm currently making around 100 posts/replies like this on average EVERY SINGLE DAY (DMs aside). Together, we could do thousands.

Join me and let's make Nano happen.

Code is being written to develop a Shop Bot that will provide customer service chat autonomously to help customers buy products in an online store using Nano.

It provides all the details needed to make a purchase. It will detect the transaction on the network and thank the customer for the purchase.

It utilizes the "LLM brain" of Open AI's GPT 4o for the bots. It can be used with Nano-GPT.com to swap the brain out for any other LLM brain, like Claude or Grok.

AI agents will easily help transfer value via Nano in the future and is expected to be a 300 billion $USD market in future.

It doesn't have to mess around with helping a customer figure out fee calculations. This is a competitive advantage for Nano going forward. Feeless will be the future of payments.

Eventually every AI will work this out on their own and prefer Nano for payments over other currencies.

Nano will be used even if people don't know it because their AI will be using it.
