[TESTING] BitcoinBT (BTCBT) — Public SHA256 Mining & Node Testing Open

BitcoinBT (BTCBT) — Public External Testing Phase

Hello Bitcoin community,

We are currently running public external testing for BitcoinBT (BTCBT).

This thread is for technical testing only.
It is not an ANN, not an investment offer, and not a token sale.

Our current goal is to verify node operation, wallet usage, miner connectivity, and general network behavior across different real-world environments.

What is BitcoinBT?

BitcoinBT is a Bitcoin hard fork built on Bitcoin Core v26.

Main parameters:

Fork point: Bitcoin block 903,844
Activation block: 903,845
Mining algorithm: SHA-256
Block interval: 5 minutes
Difficulty adjustment: ASERT
Maximum block size: up to 32 MB
Script support: SegWit, Taproot, Schnorr

BitcoinBT inherits the Bitcoin blockchain history up to the fork point and applies modified consensus rules after activation.

There is no ICO, no airdrop, and no automatic distribution to Bitcoin holders.
Coins are created through mining.

Current External Testing Focus

We are currently testing:

Node synchronization
Wallet creation
Sending and receiving transactions
CPU mining
ASIC miner connectivity
Pool share submission
Explorer visibility and network monitoring

Internal testing has already covered multi-node operation and block production.
What we need now is broader external validation from independent users.

Known Testing Note

During testing, the explorer or some stats endpoints may occasionally show temporary rate limits or become briefly unavailable.

This does not always mean Stratum mining is offline.
If your miner cannot connect, please post your miner model and wallet address, or send us logs/screenshots.

How You Can Help

You can participate by:

Running a node
Creating a wallet
Testing transactions
Connecting a CPU miner
Connecting an ASIC miner
Reporting unexpected behavior

If you test successfully, please reply with:

Your OS or miner model
Wallet address
Whether connection/mining worked
Screenshot or short note

Even a small test report is useful.

Mining Pool

CPU Mining Example

CPU miners:

Code:

stratum+tcp://pool.bitcoinbt.xyz:3032

Example with cpuminer:

Code:

./cpuminer \
  -a sha256d \
  -o stratum+tcp://pool.bitcoinbt.xyz:3032 \
  -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS \
  -p x

One-line example:

Code:

./cpuminer -a sha256d -o stratum+tcp://pool.bitcoinbt.xyz:3032 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x

ASIC miners:

Code:

stratum+tcp://pool.bitcoinbt.xyz:3333

ASIC username:

Code:

YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS
or
YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS.worker

Password:

Code:

Windows Sync Troubleshooting

If your wallet stays at block height 0 or does not begin syncing:

[list=1]

Open Help → Debug Window
Open the Console tab
Run:

[/list]

Code:

addnode "bitcoinbt.xyz:8333" "add"

Then allow a few minutes for synchronization to begin.

Early Tester Contact

If you participate in testing and send us your test details by email, we will keep a record of early external testers and notify you when the BitcoinBT mainnet opens so you can take part in early mining from the beginning.

Please include:

Your miner model or OS
Your wallet address
A short test result or screenshot

Email:
info@bitcoinbt.xyz

Additional Note

If you are an ASIC miner, CPU miner, or node tester, your participation and feedback are valuable at this stage.

Important

BitcoinBT is not Bitcoin and does not claim to replace Bitcoin.

This thread is strictly for public testing and technical validation.
Please avoid price discussion or exchange discussion here.

We welcome technical feedback, bug reports, and constructive criticism.

Thank you to everyone helping test BitcoinBT.
