Bitcoin-PoCX [BTCX]

A Bitcoin Core fork with Proof-of-Capacity (PoCX).

No GPUs. No ASICs. Just your storage.

Same monetary policy as Bitcoin. Fair launch. Zero premine.

Whitepaper  |  Website  |  GitHub

Docs  |  Explorer  |  Testnet Pool  |  Discord  |  Telegram  |  Twitter/X  |  Reddit



What is Bitcoin-PoCX?

Bitcoin-PoCX is a fork of Bitcoin Core that replaces Proof-of-Work with Proof of Capacity (PoCX).

Instead of burning electricity with continuous hashing, miners use disk space:

  • You generate plots once and store them on your drive
  • Mining becomes a simple disk read
  • Power usage drops to near-idle levels

Your mining power = your storage capacity.

A terabyte is a terabyte — whether it's in your phone, your laptop, your NAS, or a data center.

No ASICs. No GPU arms race. No 20 kW rigs. Just free space on a hard drive.



Why mine BTCX?

  • No specialized hardware required
  • Extremely low power consumption
  • Start with spare disk space
  • No ASIC or GPU advantage
  • Fair launch — everyone starts at block 0

Mining is accessible again.



Network Parameters (Mainnet)

Code:
Ticker             : BTCX
Consensus          : Proof of Capacity (PoCX)
Base               : Bitcoin Core v30.2 PoCX module
Block time         : 120 seconds
Initial subsidy    : 10 BTCX
Halving            : every 1,050,000 blocks (~4 years)
Max supply         : ~21,000,000 BTCX
Default P2P port   : 8338
Bech32 HRP         : pocx
Rolling DAA window : 24 blocks (±20% per block cap)
Premine            : NONE
ICO / Sale         : NONE
Dev tax            : NONE



Fair Launch

Mainnet launches at block 0 on 2026-05-03 12:49:37 UTC (Unix timestamp 1,777,777,777). Every participant sees the same rules from the first block.

It is a fair launch:

  • No premine. Not a single BTCX exists before block 0.
  • No ICO, no presale, no private round. Nobody bought in early.
  • No founder allocation and no dev tax. Developers mine the same way you do; zero percent of the block reward is diverted.



PoCX Key Innovations — Compared to Previous PoC Projects

PoCX builds on the Proof-of-Capacity lineage started by Burstcoin and carried forward by Signum, addressing the issues that held previous generations back.

1. Hardened Plot Format (X1)

Earlier PoC systems allowed attackers to store less data than honest miners. PoCX fixes this. Reconstructing missing data is computationally more expensive than storing it — making shortcuts ineffective.

-> Mining power is strictly proportional to stored capacity.

2. Stable Block Times (Time Bending)

Classic PoC systems produce highly irregular block times. PoCX reshapes the distribution to reduce extreme delays while keeping the 120-second average.

-> More predictable block production.

3. Built-in Pool Support (Non-Custodial)

Pooling is integrated into consensus from day one. Miners can delegate forging rights without giving up control over funds or plots.

-> Pools never take custody. Delegation is fully reversible.

4. Dynamic Scaling (Xn)

As hardware improves, the required plot work increases over time (X1 -> X2 -> X3 ...). Each level embeds more work into the plots.

-> Security increases over time, without hard forks.



Roadmap & Status

  • [✓] Phase I — Consensus design, cryptographic core, RPC surface
  • [✓] Phase II — Bitcoin Core integration, Qt/Phoenix wallet, full documentation
  • [✓] Phase III — Public testnet live since December 2025, currently at ~78,000 blocks; testnet explorer and testnet mining pool operational
  • [▶] Phase IVMainnet Genesis: Unix timestamp 1,777,777,777 -> 2026-05-03, 12:49:37 UTC
  • [ ] Phase V — Stabilisation



Software

The following releases currently power the public testnet. Mainnet versions will be released around genesis.

Phoenix Wallet
All-in-one wallet, plotter, and miner (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android).
-> Recommended for most users.

Bitcoin Core PoCX
Full node based on upstream Bitcoin Core.
-> Headless + RPC + Qt GUI.

PoCX Framework
High-performance Rust plotter and miner for advanced setups.
-> SIMD + OpenCL support.

All binaries and source code: github.com/PoC-Consortium — MIT-licensed.



About the Developers

Bitcoin-PoCX is developed by the Proof of Capacity Consortium (PoCC).

  • Almost 10 years of Proof-of-Capacity development
  • Former maintainers of Burstcoin core software (BRS)
  • Creators of the most widely used PoC plotter and miner (still the basis of Signum's mining stack)

Bitcoin-PoCX is a full-stack return — built directly on Bitcoin Core, with a next-generation PoC design.



Get Involved Before Mainnet

  • Read the whitepaper — available in 33 languages.
  • Download Phoenix Wallet from the GitHub releases page and run it against the testnet.
  • Plot a few GiB on a spare drive and point the miner at it.
  • Join the testnet pool at pool.testnet.bitcoin-pocx.org to test non-custodial pool mining end-to-end.
  • Hang out on Discord or Telegram — ask questions, report bugs, run a seed node.

Every test block helps harden mainnet.



FAQ

Is this a Bitcoin fork or a new chain?
A new chain based on Bitcoin Core, with a different consensus mechanism (PoCX).

Why not use existing PoC coins?
PoCX addresses known weaknesses in earlier PoC designs and integrates directly into modern Bitcoin Core.

What hardware is required?
Almost anything with storage and a supported CPU can participate. Beyond standard PCs, the miner has been successfully tested on Android phones, handheld gaming devices, TV sticks, set-top boxes, and Raspberry Pi-class hardware. If it can store data and run the software, it can mine.

Is mining really fair?
Yes. No premine, no ICO, no hidden allocations. Everyone starts at block 0.

No premine, no ICO, no founder tax, and a launch model that is trying to stay close to Bitcoin's monetary discipline is the kind of thing I like to read. PoC is not a new idea of course, but building it on Bitcoin Core and trying to address some of the older PoC weaknesses makes it more interesting than a plain rehash.

What I'd really want to see is how it behaves once it has to deal with real incentives and real miners, not just a tidy ANN page. Storage mining always sounds wonderfully democratic until somebody with a barn full of disks shows up and reminds everyone that scale still exists.

I can agree with you, as someone who was involved with Burst (the first PoC coin) then Signum (which is not performing so well) one of the biggest issues they faced was the difficulty in integrating everywhere, everyone is familiar with bitcoin interfaces, so that was one big issue to overcome for adoption.

Of course Burst performed well under the stewardship of the PoCC, but they faced systemic issues (a very aggressive halving) and old associations with some unsavoury individuals.
but I hope that with a fresh start, we'll not have to contend with those.

and there are plenty of people with large amounts of storage that might like to contribute as it happened before with Burst and Signum (fingers crossed!)

Mining on the Nogrod PoCX Pool — new miner setup

Since we’ve received many questions about how to mine via the pool, here’s a short how-to:

You need a binding transaction (assignment) that points your plot address at the pool's address before you can earn. If you have no coins yet, the pool's built-in faucet covers the fee.

  1. Point your miner at the pool
  - In Phoenix Wallet, pick Nogrod PoCX from the pool list, or set the endpoint manually from the pool's /info page.

  2. Start mining right away
  - The pool accepts your submissions even before you're bound — this is how you qualify for the faucet.

  3. Qualify for the faucet
  - Reach the capacity threshold shown on /info (e.g. a few GiB), and
  - Submit valid nonces for the minimum number of confirmed blocks shown there.
  - The pool checks eligibility on a fixed interval and sends enough dust to cover the assignment fee automatically.

  4. Create the binding transaction
  - Phoenix Wallet: Forging Assignment tab → Create Assignment.
  - RPC: create_assignment "your_plot_address" "<pool_address>"
  - Assignment activates after the configured number of blocks.

  5. Earn
  - Once active, you participate in normal PPLNS payouts.

Interesting

I've been involved with quite a few PoC/PoST crypto projects over the years. Signum. Chia. Spacemesh. SPX. Other I can't even remember. The only one I still run is Chives (a Chia fork) just for fun really.

But I'll definitely give yours a spin !!! I have a few PC's available. Different OS too. Does processor matter at all? Other than initial plotting probably. Does SSD or HDD make a difference?

Also, can I do plotting on testnet, then be ready to go at mainnet launch? Or would drives need to be replotted at mainnet lauch anyway?

Good Luck

Regarding your questions:

- For plotting, a GPU is preferred, but a CPU will work as well. For mining, even a low-end CPU is sufficient — it runs fine on devices like a Raspberry Pi or even phones.
- As for storage: SSDs or NVMe drives aren’t required and don’t provide any real advantage for mining. Traditional spinning drives are actually the better choice. The only exception is SMR drives — they can be difficult to plot directly on, though they work perfectly fine for mining. If you’re using SMR drives, we recommend staging the plots on a CMR drive, SSD, or NVMe first.
- We recommend replotting for mainnet. Using testnet plots would require exporting and converting private keys, which isn’t recommended — especially since Bitcoin Core separates mainnet and testnet keys by design.

Best,

Johnny

Thanks for this. One more question. My best GPU is on windows PC, but I want to run BTCX on an ubuntu machine, solely for BTCX. If I plot on windows, then move the drives to ubuntu, will that work?

so mainnet to go live on may 3rd, right?

PoC is not a new idea of course, but building it on Bitcoin Core and trying to address some of the older PoC weaknesses makes it more interesting than a plain rehash.

you are right fair launch rule is no longer important. main point is that those who have huge storage farm could centralize mining power whenever they want. anyone who has even slightest idea about burst or signum will understand that this is how things happen


hardened plot format, time bending or non custodial pool seem quite exciting to hear. but wait to see how much real security and decentralization will last once hashrate increas after the mainnet launch. and phoenix wallet seem quite user friendly, yeah,  perhaps a good plus point for beginner

the fact that there is no pre mine or dev tax is actually nice. but it will not be only way to build credibility. real trust will be built on how transparent the development is after launch, also how much community cares

The Genesis block dropped around the time it was announced: https://explorer.bitcoin-po.cx/block-height/0
Right now, the chain is at block height 1000.

Alternate pool: https://btcx-pool.cryptoguru.org/

In case you have no BTCX yet and need bootstrap,
the pool will do the new miner onboarding as mentioned in https://btcx-pool.cryptoguru.org/info

  • Start mining — the pool accepts your submissions even without a binding
  • Build capacity — reach at least 50 GiB effective capacity and submit valid nonces for at least 60 confirmed blocks
  • Receive faucet payment — the pool automatically sends dust to cover the assignment fee (checked every 60 min)
  • Submit your binding transaction — use the faucet funds to create the assignment
  • Start earning rewards — once bound, you participate in normal pool payouts


Storage mining always sounds wonderfully democratic until somebody with a barn full of disks shows up and reminds everyone that scale still exists.

I agree.

While PoC is more democratic in principle (because HDDs are more accessible than ASIC miners), the scaling issue exists and already shows. Current Network diff is around 4PB and growing, I assume people are pointing their miners rather to this than to replot for Chia. And from what I have seen so far on the Blockchain explorer ("Whale #1", "Whale #2"), around 50% of that capacity are two miners - provided they are not one miner with two different IDs.


So yeah, if you intend to mine with 40TB, expect to land every 100th block.

In theory all that could have been done to make BTCX more democratic has been done, sustainable and energy efficient mining on Android mobile phones and tablets has been demonstrated, but yeah: scale still exists.

Why not just add restriction for plot size, for example, not more then 1TB?

Then people simply mine on N plots, with different addresses even - indistinguishable if one man commands N plots or you're really facing N men.

This is a small stat I made for the first 1000 blocks:

The mining pool at #2 has now grown to ~ 1.5 PB, so the number of mined blocks does not show the "curent" mining power but more like historic mining weight. The whale was just earlier there with more mining power, the pool is catching up.

Network growing, seems to have developed a life of its own "over there in Asia".
Which is strange, because developed in Germany, announced here, no China-specific "marketing".
1000 nodes by the time you read this, 35% of that in China.

I have set up a small 4TB (3.6TiB) test rig and it solo-mined 40 BTCX in 10 days now.
First 4 days nothing, then 2 blocks within 2 hours, then nothing...
A pool is probably better for such a small cpacity.
