MineDifferent: The Post-Quantum Mining Forum
A small forum for xCoin miners, with wallet-based accounts authenticated through ML-DSA-65 signatures instead of passwords.
Field notes
MineDifferent authenticates forum accounts by having users sign a challenge with a wallet key, then checking the signature and its derivation to an xpa1r address. Its visible community is very small: the page reports one verified address, two rigs, one thread, and one post, while the seven categories cover mining hardware, node operation, protocol questions, tools, and market discussion. The rigs section specifically requests hashrate, power draw, and DAG build time.
