[PRE-ANN] BitMonero — Bitcoin Scarcity, Monero-Style Privacy | 21M Cap

BitMonero (2026)
Bitcoin Scarcity × Monero Privacy

Hard Cap. Halvings. CryptoNote privacy stack. RandomX. No premine. No tail emission.

Status: PRE-ANN (NOT LAUNCHED YET)
Mainnet: TBA (will be announced well in advance)
Website: https://bitmonero.net

IMPORTANT SCAM WARNING
There is no BitMonero mainnet live right now.
There are no coins to buy.
Any “BitMonero” token, presale, contract, OTC deal, or airdrop you see today is a scam.
Wait for the signed release + reproducible builds + genesis block announcement posted from this Bitcointalk account.

What is BitMonero?
BitMonero is the idea that never stopped haunting crypto:

Bitcoin tokenomics (hard cap + halving ritual + absolute scarcity)
combined with
Monero-grade privacy (CryptoNote-derived privacy tech, default confidentiality, real fungibility).

Not “better than Bitcoin”.
Not “better than Monero”.

A complement.
A fusion.
A throwback.
A new chain for people who want scarcity and privacy in one protocol.

Quote

2014: BitMonero → Monero
2026: Monero → BitMonero (again)

The Point (why this exists)
Monero chose an emission model with:
- fast early emission and then
- a perpetual tail emission (no hard cap)

That’s a valid design for security. But not everyone wants “forever inflation”, even if it trends toward zero.

BitMonero is the opposite bet:
Hard cap. No tail. Discrete halvings.
The scarcity maxis get their fixed ceiling.
The privacy maxis get real on-chain confidentiality by default.

Tokenomics
Max Supply: 21,000,000 BMR (exact hard cap)
Tail emission: None
Halving: Every ~4 year (fixed block-height schedule)

Target block time: 120 seconds
=> Halving interval: 1,051,200 blocks (~4 years @ 2 min target)

Initial block reward: 10 BMR
Reward per block: halves each 4 years

This is scarcity you can explain in one sentence:
21M cap + 4 years halvings.

Tech (Monero DNA where it matters)
Consensus: Proof-of-Work
PoW Algorithm: RandomX (CPU-first / ASIC-resistant design goal)
Privacy stack: CryptoNote-derived privacy tech (confidential transactions, stealth addressing, ring-based spend obfuscation)
Block time target: 120 seconds
Fees: Monero-style fee logic (details + constants will be published before launch)
Supply model: hard cap + discrete halving epochs (no tail emission)

Goal: Keep what made Monero the king of privacy — and swap the emission philosophy to Bitcoin-style scarcity.

Fair Launch Commitments
0% premine.
0% instamine.
0% dev tax.
No ICO. No presale. No “team allocation”.

Before mainnet:
- source code published
- deterministic build instructions
- signed binaries (PGP)
- public testnet
- genesis parameters published before block 0
- launch time announced well in advance

If it isn’t fair, it isn’t BitMonero.

Not Monero. Not Bitcoin. No affiliation.
BitMonero (bitmonero.net) is an independent project.
Zero connection to:
- The Monero Project / getmonero.org / XMR
- Bitcoin / bitcoin.org / BTC
- Any entity claiming endorsement

We respect both communities.
This is not a “replacement”, not a hostile takeover, not a smear campaign.

Do NOT send XMR to BitMonero addresses.
Do NOT send BMR to Monero addresses.

Roadmap
Phase 0: Publish code + specs + testnet (TBA)
Phase 1: Deterministic builds + signed releases
Phase 2: Mainnet fair launch (TBA)
Phase 3: Explorers, pools, wallet UX polish, docs
Phase 4: Research: swaps / bridges (only after mainnet stability)

Closing
Bitcoin gave us scarcity.
Monero gave us privacy.
BitMonero is the fusion nobody asked permission for.

Hard cap. Real privacy. Fair start.

If you’re here for quick flips — you’re early and you’re in the wrong place.
If you’re here because you think private money should also be scarce —
welcome back to BitMonero.
