MemHash FAQ [ENG]
styxThe article will be quite detailed, as I’ll be covering everything from A to Z. Get comfortable and dive into the material, which will help you fully understand the game and find answers to all your questions.
MemHash is a unique mini-game integrated into Telegram, where users can mine tokens using the Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm. The project launched on October 29, 2024, and was initially planned to last for 60 days, ending the mining phase on December 31, 2024. As of November 21, the duration has been slightly adjusted and now ranges between 60 and 90 days..
Mining via Telegram: Users can mine tokens directly within the Telegram app, utilizing the computational power of their devices.
Dynamic Difficulty: The mining difficulty is recalculated every 10 blocks, maintaining a block generation time of approximately 5 seconds.
Shares System: Implemented to reward users with less powerful devices. A portion of the block reward is distributed among all participants contributing to its mining, ensuring a fair allocation of tokens.
Turbo Mode: For 200 Telegram Stars, users can activate a mode that increases mining speed based on the number of cores in their device. However, this also increases device workload and power consumption.
Energy: Mining requires internal energy, which regenerates over time. Energy can also be replenished through donations using Telegram Stars, inviting friends, or completing specific tasks.
Anti-Bot System: To protect against bots and fake accounts, access to the platform is granted after contributing 600 Telegram Stars. This forms the project's liquidity pool and supports infrastructure development. The entry cost is accurate as of November 21, 2024.
- Total Supply: 1 billion tokens to be distributed over 60–90 days.
- Block Rewards: Initially, each mined block awarded 500 tokens, distributed as follows: 70% went to the miner who found the block, and 30% was shared among all other participants who contributed to its mining. The reward structure was adjusted every 100,000 blocks to maintain balance among miners.
Balance:
- Displays the number of tokens you have mined.
Energy:
- Shows the amount of energy available for mining.
Block:
- The current block being processed by the network. Each block has its own unique identifier.
Difficulty:
- This metric determines how hard it is to mine a new block. As difficulty increases, the process becomes more resource-intensive, requiring greater computational power and time from your device. The higher the difficulty, the lower the chances of quickly mining a block or earning a share reward.
Reward:
- The number of tokens that will be distributed among participants for this block.
Online Miners:
- The number of active miners currently participating.
Status (Idle):
- Indicates the current state of mining. "Idle" means you have not started mining yet.
Shares:
- This shows your contribution share over time since the last time you pressed the "Start Mining" button.
Hashes:
- The number of hashes generated by your device during the mining process.
Earned:
- The total number of tokens earned by you for mining the current block.
Start Mining Button:
- Activates the mining process using your device's computational resources.
Energy Increase:
- "Increase Max Energy" Button:
This feature allows you to increase your maximum energy capacity for a certain amount of Telegram Stars.
- Example of an Increase:
For 2000 Telegram Stars, you will receive +20,000 to your maximum energy capacity.
If your current energy is not full, it will be replenished to the maximum after the upgrade.
- Calculation Rule:
For every 100 Telegram Stars, you get +1,000 added to your maximum energy capacity.
Modes:
- Turbo Mode:
Increases your mining power by X times, depending on the number of cores in your device. Naturally, power consumption and device heating will also increase.
- Supersonic Mode:
Maximizes mining power by utilizing 100% of your device's processor. Not recommended without high-quality cooling. A minimum energy balance of at least 200,000 is required for activation. Added on 04.12.
- Tasks:
Here you can find and complete current tasks to earn free energy.
- Stats:
Here you can see the top miners of the project and your current ranking in the list.
- Token:
All information related to the token is located in the dedicated "Token" section. There’s no need to duplicate it here, as everything you need is already detailed there. You can explore the details directly in the section.
Is mining on servers allowed?
Yes, using VDS or VPS servers for mining is permitted.
When will the Roadmap be available?
Stay tuned for updates—the Roadmap will be published after the application exits beta testing. Check the News channel for updates.
Can GPU be used for mining?
No, GPU-based mining is prohibited.
How many accounts can be used on one device?
You can use a maximum of 1–3 accounts per device for the entire mining period.
Can mining scripts be modified?
It is important to note that while you can use any device for mining, altering or modifying scripts is strictly prohibited.
Is simultaneous mining on multiple devices with the same account allowed?
No, mining on multiple devices with a single account simultaneously is not allowed.
What are the terms of the referral program?
For every new user referred, you will receive +1,500 to your maximum energy (and 22,500 energy credited to your account). Additionally, your referral will also receive +3,500 to their maximum energy instead of the previous 2,500.
Do device specifications affect mining?
Yes, mining performance is directly influenced by your processor's power.
The device should have at least a minimal amount of RAM. When using the bot through a browser, like Chrome, memory usage increases, but typically by only a few hundred megabytes. Therefore, the primary factor remains CPU performance.
What determines who mines the block: me or someone else?
Hardware power:
The higher your device's computing power (hash rate), the greater the chance of finding a block.
Luck:
Better hardware increases your chances of earning rewards, but even with less powerful devices, you still have a chance.
How can I increase my chances of mining a block?
Increase computations:
Optimize your CPU performance to speed up hashing.
Enable Turbo Mode:
Turbo Mode significantly boosts mining by using the maximum power of your CPU.
How long does it take to fully restore energy?
The time depends on your maximum energy level. Developers frequently update the project, which may lead to changes in these metrics.
What will the token price be at listing?
To be announced.
I bought energy but didn’t receive it. Why? My friend bought bot access but can’t use it.
Please contact our support team on Telegram: @MemhashSup. Support will promptly investigate your issue and help resolve it.
Why can’t I buy energy, and the transaction shows an error?
Payments may currently be disabled due to technical reasons. You’ll be able to complete the purchase as soon as the issue is resolved.
Recommended actions:
Join our official Telegram chat for the latest updates on this error.
If the issue is unique to you, contact our support team on Telegram: @MemhashSup.
Why does the bot say there is a time sync error?
You need to sync your device’s time settings. Enable automatic time detection in your device’s settings. You can find instructions for your device online.
If the error appears infrequently and you continue receiving mining rewards, you can safely ignore it as it won’t affect your mining process.
Why am I not receiving mining rewards, and my hash count is 0? Or hashes are counted, but there are no rewards?
There may be ongoing technical work. Check the official Telegram group for updates.
If the issue persists, try exiting the app and logging back in after 5 minutes.
Why does it say the bot is running on another device, preventing me from logging into the game?
Close the game on all devices you previously logged in from.
Wait 5–10 minutes before trying again. It is also recommended to clear Telegram’s cache to avoid such issues.
The idea for MemHash was born on what seemed to be an ordinary day, but for the developers, it marked a turning point—a moment when a new story began: the story of the MemHash project and its first group tests.
On November 2, the first tester, Load, joined the project. A day later, Grafen followed, becoming what could be called the pioneers of MemHash. On the same day, more testers joined in, including Roxman—whose name might even be the reason you discovered the project. The team set an ambitious goal: to bring people together worldwide by making mining simple and engaging.
Initially, the team did not plan to launch the application to the public so soon, but rumors began to spread that someone had "accidentally" leaked the invitation link. And just like that, it all began! Whether it was an excellent marketing move or a genuine accident is unclear, but it certainly accelerated the project's exposure.
Following this, all testers actively participated in testing the bot. Any bugs or technical issues that arose were promptly addressed by Hashoti Memokoto, the developer behind MemHash, ensuring the bot's functionality improved rapidly.
November 3, 8:41 PM
The testers were doing their work when they noticed an unknown group of a hundred holders appearing in the bot. Apparently, the invite had already spread within a close circle. I didn’t bother to investigate or find out who leaked the link, as it didn’t interest me.
After the link was leaked, it would have been very easy to restrict access to the bot. However, perhaps no one felt the need to do so, and the leak was wisely accepted as a boost. If rumors spread across crypto channels that a project as rare as this one had been conducting a closed test and that the invite leak now allowed access, people would naturally be drawn in by Roxman’s name and join the project.
Or at least, I would like to believe that was the case because it would be an absolutely brilliant move. A genius strategy that I myself would replicate. A unique approach-respect for that.
Even I received the project link on November 3, but I was too lazy to dive into it right away and only joined on November 4. Soon, the project’s concept captivated me, and I began immersing myself in it, digging into its history, absorbing all the information from the group, and helping new users with any insights I could gather from the chat history and the app test itself.
That said, I didn’t focus much on farming within the app. In fact, November 4 was the best time to mine rewards while encountering bugs, crashes, and server instability that couldn’t handle the influx of users.
In 17 days, I launched mining only 5-6 times, earning just 10,000 tokens. This is one of those cases where the project itself is more interesting than the potential profit from it.
Will I keep playing? I think so. Do I regret not farming tokens 24/7 during those 17 days? Not at all. Why? Let me put it this way: sometimes it’s more enjoyable to watch a flower grow than to pick it.
November 4 became the day when nearly all public channels started copying information from one another and reposting it to their own channels. A classic example of word-of-mouth marketing. By this day, the bot already had several thousand users.
It was clear that the project would continue to grow, testing everything with the help of regular players. Overall, it’s a great idea since the community helps identify bugs much faster. Later, a separate test server was created, but more on that later.
Soon, the first exploiters appeared, mining cryptocurrency using GPUs, even though the code was originally designed for CPU mining. The chat was buzzing with confusion: how could this happen? How were some users managing to mine 10–20 blocks in a row?
I figured out the GPU trick and just observed. Within a couple of days, I revealed the truth in the chat for regular users, although others had already done so before me. Players couldn’t understand why such exploiters remained at the top and hadn’t been banned yet.
Of course, the administration will come up with a fair and proper response to the actions of dishonest players, ensuring they are all punished.
The question arose: how to fix this? If I’m not mistaken, they implemented a system where a significant amount of energy was consumed for each mined block. After that, farming with a GPU became unprofitable. Energy recovery took a long time, and fully replenishing it to the new maximum cost 10,000 stars or more, especially for those who had already invested heavily in stats. We hope that in the end, all these players will be locked out and receive nothing.
What followed were updates, fixes, disagreements, migrations to new servers, and possibly a few DDoS attacks. Then came the so-called Day X, when the number of bot users exceeded 100,000, and now it’s reached 700,000. This became possible thanks to advertising from Pavel Durov on his Telegram channel and Twitter.
Now, returning to the topic of the test server. The dev decided to create a test server, using the database from the main server, to specifically test bugs and updates there. A separate group was created, where the first 100 people were invited for testing. Participants simply had to start mining to create a load on the server, and if any bugs were discovered, they were asked to report them in the chat.
For participating in the test, players were promised an energy top-up of 10,000, which, as I understand it, will be issued later. However, most participants joined this group and started spamming actively, as in the main group, access to the chat required providing 4 boosts to the group.
And this is the only support person for the project, working 24/7, assisting with the project, and answering all player questions in private messages. I can’t even imagine how many conversations they have in their inbox.
Roxman is also here, and he is the owner of the group. I often noticed people panicking, asking, "Is this really a game by Roxman?"
The project is actively developing and gaining widespread recognition. All bugs are being successfully fixed, and dev. Hashoti Memokoto is working tirelessly. Thanks to his efforts, the exit from beta testing is expected in the near future.
And on this note, I conclude sharing the story of the project's beginnings that I managed to learn. Initially, I only planned to write a "Questions and Answers" article, but I couldn’t resist telling you about the project’s development story from its very inception. Perhaps I missed something or didn’t consider it important enough to mention here.
