BitcoBoost (BCBO) — an independent proof-of-work coin, live since June 2026

BitcoBoost is a fair-launch PoW cryptocurrency built on Bitcoin Core 27.1, mineable on consumer hardware (CPU and GPU) with the X16RV2 algorithm.

No ICO. No presale. Nothing was ever sold: every BCBO in existence was mined on the public chain. Every claim below can be verified by running a node.

HOW TO MINE
- Windows: download the signed desktop app from the website. One click, CPU or GPU, built-in wallet. No configuration needed.
- Linux / advanced users: run the full node and mine solo — guide: https://bitcoboost.com/mina-senza-app/
- Pool: a trustless braided-DAG pool is in public beta (proof blocks verifiable in the explorer): https://bitcoboost.com/pool/

TRANSPARENCY
- Consensus code is public on GitHub; the founder reward sits in plain sight in the source.
- Windows releases are code-signed by Primaris Group S.R.L.S. (registered company, Turin, Italy). We are not anonymous.
- SHA-256 checksums published for every download.

WHAT'S NEXT
Growing the miner community, further security hardening, desktop app open-sourcing, then exchange applications (public code + downloadable node: both already done).

I'm the founder and I'll answer every question in this thread. We will NEVER contact you first by DM — anyone doing so in our name is a scammer.

[TICKER UPDATE] BB → BCBO

Before any exchange listing, we discovered that the ticker "BB" is already used by BounceBit (actively traded). To avoid any ambiguity we renamed the ticker to BCBO — before, not after, being listed anywhere.

Nothing else changes: same chain, same addresses (bb1…), same consensus, same coin. Only the symbol.
