[ANN][BLOZ] Block Zero - Fair Launch CPU PoW chain, RandomX, Bitcoin Core based

Block Zero (BLOZ)
A live CPU-mineable RandomX proof-of-work chain built on modern Bitcoin Core code.

Mainnet status

Block Zero mainnet has been live since 2026-06-06 06:06:06 UTC.

BLOZ is an independent proof-of-work chain. It keeps the familiar Bitcoin-style UTXO model and modern Bitcoin Core foundation, but changes the mining layer to RandomX so normal CPUs can participate.

Launch principles

- No premine
- No presale
- No team allocation
- No ICO
- CPU-mineable RandomX proof-of-work
- Open-source node software

Community infrastructure

The bloz.cc community stack is live:

- public full node
- mining pool
- explorer
- browser wallet generator
- Linux/macOS/Windows mining setup (one-liner)
- direct on-chain pool payouts

The goal is to make the first mining experience simple:

0. Go to https://pool.bloz.cc
1. Generate a `bz1q...` address.
2. Copy the one-line miner command for your OS.
3. Watch your worker show up on the pool dashboard.

Trying to make the experience user-friendly.

Mining

Algorithm:
rx/blockzero

Mine solo, use the community pool, or create and share your own pool. Every contribution that expands the ecosystem is welcome.

Chain parameters

Coin: Block Zero
Ticker: BLOZ

Why RandomX?

The point of Block Zero is not to compete with industrial ASIC mining. It is to bring back a small-chain mining experience where a normal CPU can participate. RandomX is designed for general-purpose CPUs and makes the launch more accessible to hobby miners.

Run a node

Mining is important, but long-running full nodes are what make the network easier to discover, verify, and join.

Block Zero currently has two public mainnet seed nodes:

Official (https://bloz.org) seed:
217.160.46.61:8210

Community (https://bloz.cc) seed:
13.140.142.65:8210

If you run a node, please add both nodes to your config:

addnode=217.160.46.61:8210
addnode=13.140.142.65:8210

If possible, keep port 8210 open so other peers can connect to you. More reachable nodes means better peer discovery, faster sync, more independent verification, and less reliance on any single server.

If you start a public node, post it in this thread so other users can add it and the network can grow.

Get involved

Independent node operators, miners, solo miners, pool operators, explorers, documentation, scripts, wallet tools, testing, and mirrors are welcome.

If you run your own pool, explorer, node, or mining setup, share it in this thread so others can verify it and join.

Thread purpose

This thread can be used for mainnet updates, releases, mining questions, pool announcements, node information, explorer mirrors, setup notes, and community infrastructure.

Block Zero is live. Mine it, run a node, verify the chain, build tools, and help make the network easier to join.
