Green Stack (STK) is a Proof-of-Space-and-Time chain where farmers own 73.1% of everything that will ever exist. Every premine transaction, every founder wallet, every protocol change — published in plain English before it happens.
Green Stack runs proven Proof of Space and Time consensus, and it is plot-format compatible with existing Chia plots (PoS1) — so plots you already have farm here with zero replotting. What's different is who earns, and how honestly that's disclosed.
Point your existing k32+ Chia plots at Green Stack and farm from disk space you already own. No new hardware, no replotting, no extra cost.
A written, public set of commitments from the founder to the farming community — premine disclosure, 90-day notice on protocol changes, monthly spending logs. No other farming chain has published one.
Open source from day one, with the custom reward code independently audited before launch. The six premine wallets are published on-chain — watch every bucket in real time.
Specific, written commitments from the founder to the farming community — tracked publicly, not just promised.
A 0.5 STK block reward at launch, divided transparently. Farmers earn the majority — and Green Stack is the first farming chain where timelords can earn a share too.
Farmers earn the overwhelming majority of every block reward, plus a share of transaction fees.
The proof-of-time operators who keep the chain moving can earn STK automatically — a first for a farming chain.
A transparent, consensus-enforced founder share, fully disclosed and watchable on-chain.
Estimate your daily farming rewards from your farm size and the network. Rewards are shares of block emissions — estimates only, never guaranteed.
Estimates assume a 0.5 STK block reward and ~2,304 STK farmed daily at launch, ~94.9% to farmers. Actual rewards vary with real netspace, difficulty, and luck. Nothing here is a promise of value, profit, or return.
At launch the entire premine splits into six labeled cold wallets — one per purpose — published on day one. No other farming chain has done this.
A checksum-verified database snapshot will let a new node catch up to the tip in hours instead of syncing from genesis. Not published yet — the testnet chain is still young enough to sync from scratch quickly. Announced in the Discord when it lands.
One command at a time. Run a command, check the line under it says what you got, then move to the next. If a step does not do what it says, stop there and fix that step — carrying on will not help.
Testnet access is currently by request. Green Stack is in public testnet and the code repository is still private, so there is no open download link yet. Ask in the Discord and access is granted to your GitHub account — usually the same day. Everything below works once you have it. STK on the testnet has no monetary value.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git ghYou should see: packages downloading and unpacking, ending
with no lines starting E:.
If it fails: Unable to locate package gh means the
universe repository is off. Run
sudo add-apt-repository universe, then try again.
gh auth loginAnswer: GitHub.com → HTTPS → Yes →
Login with a web browser. It prints a code like ABCD-1234;
paste that into the browser page it opens.
You should see: ✓ Authentication complete.
If it fails: on a headless box the browser cannot open. Press
q, then use a personal access token:
gh auth login --with-token < token.txt
gh auth setup-gitYou should see: nothing at all. No output is success.
If it fails: not logged into any GitHub hosts means
step 2 did not finish. Run gh auth status to check.
Never clone without naming a version — the tip of the branch is not necessarily the release the network is running, and a mismatched node is refused.
TAG=$(git ls-remote --tags --refs https://github.com/outgrow-llc/greenstack-blockchain.git | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's#^refs/tags/##' | grep -E '^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$' | sed 's/^v//' | sort -V | tail -1 | sed 's/^/v/')You should see: no output — it saved the answer rather than printing it.
echo "$TAG"You should see: a version like v0.3.3 — a
v followed by three numbers.
If it fails: an empty line means your GitHub account cannot see the repository yet. Access has not been granted — ask in the Discord.
git clone --branch "$TAG" https://github.com/outgrow-llc/greenstack-blockchain.gitYou should see: progress percentages, then a note about
detached HEAD. That note is correct here — it means you are on the
exact release rather than a moving branch.
If it fails: Repository not found means access has
not been granted to your account.
cd greenstack-blockchainYou should see: your prompt now ends in
greenstack-blockchain.
This takes several minutes and prints a lot. It is compiling.
sh install.shYou should see, at the end:
Green Stack blockchain install.sh complete.
If it fails: Invalid PEP 440 version means
$TAG is not a plain vX.Y.Z. Go back to step 5.
The leading dot and space matter.
. ./activateYou should see: your prompt gains a (venv) prefix.
If it fails: no (venv) means you typed
./activate. The leading . is what applies it to your shell.
greenstack initYou should see: directories being created under
~/.greenstack/mainnet.
If it fails: command not found means the environment
is not active. Repeat step 9.
Check this — do not assume it.
grep '^selected_network:' ~/.greenstack/mainnet/config/config.yamlYou should see exactly:
selected_network: greenstack-testnet
If it says greenstack: you are pointed at mainnet and
nothing will connect. Run greenstack configure --testnet true and check
again. (The folder really is called mainnet either way — that is inherited
layout, and this line is what decides the network.)
greenstack keys generateYou should see: 24 words and a fingerprint number. Write the 24 words on paper. Do not screenshot them or save them in a file — they are the only way to recover the wallet.
greenstack start node farmerYou should see: confirmation that the full node, farmer, harvester and wallet started.
If it fails: Daemon not started — run it a second
time. The first call starts the daemon, the second starts the services.
Green Stack is plot-format compatible with existing Chia plots (PoS1), so plots you already have work here with no replotting.
greenstack plots add -d /path/to/your/plotsYou should see:
Successfully added: /path/to/your/plots
If it fails: Directory does not exist — check the
path with ls.
greenstack farm summaryYou should see: Plot count for all harvesters:
with a number above zero.
If it is 0: wait a minute and run it again. If still zero, check
the files end in .plot and are finished, not still being written.
greenstack show -sYou should see:
Current Blockchain Status: Full Node Synced.
If the height stays at 0: add the seed node by hand with
greenstack peer -a 107.172.32.181:56800 full_node, wait a minute, and check
again.
You are farming once step 15 shows plots and step 16 shows synced. Watch your rewards arrive on the block explorer. Stuck on a step? Say which number in the Discord — that is exactly the information needed to help, and a step that trips people up is a bug in this page.
Already farming? Green Stack is plot-format compatible with existing Chia plots, so you're minutes away — same plots, same disk, zero replotting. Come say hi and get set up.
