About

Bithereum is a fork of Bitcoin in combination with Ethereum’s technological roadmap structured around a PoS-influenced incentive node-model called PoU, or Proof-of-Uptime, to create an unparalleled peer-to-peer digital currency. Bithereum represents two chains in one coin; by hard-forking Bitcoin, and hard-spooning Ethereum to reward them with BTH, Bithereum is the world’s first hard-spork.

For more general info about our project you can view our bitcointalk ANN:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4738533.0

Bithereum is a Proof of Work coin with an Equihash 144,5 mining algorithm. This allows for GPU mining which increases democratization, and the 144,5 algorithm requires more RAM than the standard 200,9 which will prevent the new Equihash ASIC’s from dominating mining efforts.

Proof-of-Uptime - Full Nodes Rewards Program

Bithereum is rewarding ANYONE who runs a BTH node, similar to how miners get rewarded for their work in every Proof-of-Work algorithm. We are officially introducing a new concept coined by the Bithereum Team, called “Proof-of-Uptime”, or PoU. In every other PoW system, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, there are a misalignment of incentives when it comes to full nodes. Though running a full node is absolutely crucial to the success of the network in the first place, there is no model in place to incentivize this, relying on people to be ideologically attached to a project rather than financially incentivized in the way that every miner is.

Everyone who runs a Bithereum node will be rewarded. The amount each full node will be awarded with will be based on their node’s uptime; the higher amount of uptime a node has, the higher their reward payout will be, however even a minuscule amount of uptime will generate at least some reward.

How about Testnet release for Windows OS?

How about Testnet release for Windows OS?
Here only release for Linux: https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases

We're currently working to provide the Windows OS/MacOS releases and will update in the very near future when they're ready.

NHEQMiner 144.5? does this exist?

NHEQMiner 144.5? does this exist?

Yes it does, here's the link: https://github.com/BTHPOS/mining-nvidia-nheqminer

If you have any other questions let us know

[Sikkan666]

when is the planned launch for mainnet? testnet will not give any "real" coins right? They wont be exported to main?

[Bithereum Network]

when is the planned launch for mainnet? testnet will not give any "real" coins right? They wont be exported to main?

The mainnet launch is expected around December 28th, we'll be announcing the hard-spoon snapshot date along with the expected mainnet launch within the next week. Correct, coins on testnet are just test coins and won't be exported to the main chain.

[Bithereum Network]

Hi all, we have officially announced the date of our hard-spoon snapshot of the Ethereum blockchain, December 12th! This will lock in the BTH allocation for ETH holders based on the ETH:BTC ratio at the time and we will announce the Bitcoin block we will be forking off of. Once this is completed, the mainnet build will be pushed live so that miners and people running full nodes will be able to begin syncing. The hard-fork will occur approximately 2 weeks after the hard-spoon (~Dec 28th) , and mining will begin!

This is an interesting project with a good idea and a good team, but for now this coin is being traded only on a pair of exchanges. Its greatest achievement will be access to the Coinmarketcap, but even if the team succeeds, the trading volumes and confidence in the new coin are still too small.

Right now we're not listed on any exchanges, you're probably referring to bithereumcoin.com which we're not associated with in any way. That project seems to be an ICO and appears to be dead. We are Bithereum Network, a fork of BTC, and the link to our site is: https://bithereum.network. We're in talks with exchanges to have us listed upon our mainnet launch.

Well I'm just gonna say it and then put on my flame-proof suit.

All y'all making your ASIC resistant coins is just stupid. ASIC's are the future of mining and if you can't go with the flow you will end up in the dumpster of shitcoins that could have been contenders.

[Admkng5]

Without an ASICs mining for almost everyone. Community bigger without an ASICs. Mining on GPU is better.

[GarySeven]

This was the same argument when CPU mining became obsolete as GPU's were brought into service.

It was also the argument when horse drawn carriage drivers saw the first automobiles and scoffed at them, saying they would never last.

Basically y'all are stuck with a ton of unprofitable rigs that you have spent thousands of dollars to buy and are now unsuccessfully scratching around looking for coins to mine to be profitable again. ASIC's are the wave of the future and any new coin that does not understand that will not develop as well as one that does.

[Admkng5]

Lets see on BTC mining in big farms. Can you mining BTC now? Its leads to centralization of mining. And community with ASICs is smaller.

[GarySeven]

There was centralization of GPU mining at one time as well, until prices came down and small farms began to grow.

The same process will happen with ASIC miners. As prices get cheaper more rigs will be purchased by individuals and that will solve your much worried about but mostly inconsequential centralization argument.

[Admkng5]

You are contradict to yourself. Small farms leads to decentralization.

[Bithereum Network]

There was centralization of GPU mining at one time as well, until prices came down and small farms began to grow.

The same process will happen with ASIC miners. As prices get cheaper more rigs will be purchased by individuals and that will solve your much worried about but mostly inconsequential centralization argument.

You may be right in that one day ASICs will become cheaper and more affordable for the average miner, however as it stands today it's infeasible, and the main issue is that the largest manufacturer of these machines also happens to be the largest mining pool which is where the centralization stems from. By the time ASICs become cheaper, the top manufacturers/pools will most likely have come up with even more powerful machines that makes the cheaper ASICs obsolete, which will not solve the issue of centralization one bit. This will be an endless cycle.

You're also missing the overall goal of this project, as we believe there is a flaw in PoW as a whole, which is why we're switching to PoS. PoW has served it's purpose up until now, however there's heaping amounts of evidence to show that PoW is unsustainable for the long-term. Not just in terms of environmentally, but also in terms of efficiency and centralization. If you'd like, we go into detail in our whitepaper (pages 7-10) with plenty of sources to back up our claims: https://bithereum.network/storage/whitepaper.pdf. We also go into detail from pages 10-12 about how PoS helps solve this issue. Specifically Ethereum's Casper model which solves the issues of the nothing at stake problem as well as long range attacks and others.

The goal of starting with an ASIC resistant Equihash algorithm is so that for the year or so leading up to our PoS implementation, we hedge against the risk of a conglomerate hijacking the network and ensure it's long-term sustainability. While also allowing the average person anywhere in the world to participate in mining which gets crypto into the hands of more people and helps the goal of global adoption.
