NBTC – NewBitcoin | SHA-256 Blockchain | Built for Small ASICs, Bitaxe & Solo Mining
NewBitcoin (NBTC) is an open-source SHA-256 blockchain focused on making small-scale mining accessible to individual miners.
The project is designed around a simple idea:
A small ASIC should still have a meaningful role in a decentralized blockchain.
Bitcoin demonstrated that decentralized mining could work on a global scale. However, today, finding a Bitcoin block with a small ASIC such as a Bitaxe is practically impossible because of the enormous network hashrate.
NewBitcoin takes a different approach by operating on a much smaller SHA-256 network, making solo mining with small ASIC hardware an interesting possibility.

🔹 What is NewBitcoin?
Name: NewBitcoin
Ticker: NBTC
Algorithm: SHA-256
Blockchain: Proof-of-Work
Source code: Open source
NewBitcoin is based on the principles of the original Bitcoin protocol while aiming to create an environment where individual miners can participate directly in securing the network.
The project is particularly interesting for hobby miners, developers and owners of small SHA-256 ASICs.

⚡ Why Bitaxe?
The Bitaxe is an open-source SHA-256 ASIC mining project designed to make ASIC mining accessible to individuals.
NewBitcoin and Bitaxe share an important characteristic:
Both are designed around open-source principles and accessible hardware.
A Bitaxe cannot realistically compete with the Bitcoin network in terms of total hashrate.
But that is exactly where NewBitcoin becomes interesting.
With a smaller network hashrate, a Bitaxe can contribute a measurable amount of work to the network and can potentially participate in solo mining.
The objective is not to claim that a Bitaxe will frequently find blocks.
The objective is to make solo mining technically meaningful and accessible to individual miners.

🎯 Solo Mining
NewBitcoin provides a dedicated SOLO mining endpoint for miners who want to attempt to find a complete block themselves.

Stratum:
stratum+tcp://newbitcoin.ddns.net:3334
Coin:
NBTC
Using SOLO mining means that when your miner finds a valid block, the block reward goes to your configured wallet, subject to the network and pool rules.
As with any Proof-of-Work blockchain, finding a block is probabilistic.
There is no guarantee that a particular Bitaxe will find a block.
Your probability depends on factors such as:
* Your hashrate
* Network hashrate
* Network difficulty
* Block frequency
* Time spent mining
This makes NewBitcoin particularly interesting as a hobby and experimental mining project.

🛠️ How to Start Mining with a Bitaxe
Getting started is simple.
Step 1 — Get a SHA-256 ASIC
A Bitaxe such as the Bitaxe Gamma 602 can be used as a small SHA-256 mining device.
Step 2 — Install/configure your firmware
Connect your Bitaxe to Wi-Fi and open its mining configuration interface.
Step 3 — Configure the NewBitcoin pool
Step 4 — Enter your NBTC wallet address
Configure the wallet address where you want your mining rewards to be sent.
Step 5 — Start mining
Your Bitaxe will begin submitting SHA-256 work to the NewBitcoin network through the SOLO endpoint.

🖥️ CPU Mining
NewBitcoin also provides software for users who want to experiment with mining using a CPU.
CPU mining is primarily interesting for testing, development and experimentation.
For serious SHA-256 hashing, dedicated ASIC hardware is significantly more appropriate.

📊 Why Mine NewBitcoin?
NewBitcoin is not presented as a replacement for Bitcoin.
The idea is different.
Bitcoin has become dominated by industrial-scale mining infrastructure. NewBitcoin aims to provide an environment where individual miners and small ASIC devices can still participate directly in Proof-of-Work mining.
A Bitaxe running at home can therefore become more than a demonstration device:
it can become an actual participant in the network.
More independent miners can potentially mean:
* More distributed hashrate
* More individual participants
* Greater geographic distribution
* More experimentation with decentralized mining
* A stronger community around small-scale ASIC mining
⸻
🔬 An Open-Source Experiment
NewBitcoin is also intended as an open-source project for people interested in:
* Bitcoin technology
* SHA-256 Proof-of-Work
* ASIC mining
* Solo mining
* Blockchain development
* Open-source hardware
* Decentralized networks
Developers and miners are welcome to inspect the code, test the network and contribute to the ecosystem.

🪙 Fixed Supply & Halving
NewBitcoin follows a monetary model inspired by Bitcoin.
The maximum supply is limited to:
21,000,000 NBTC
NewBitcoin also uses a halving cycle of approximately 4 years, reducing the mining reward over time.
The purpose of this model is to provide:
* A predictable monetary supply
* Long-term scarcity
* Transparent issuance
* Reduced block rewards over time
* A familiar economic model for Bitcoin miners and users
The combination of SHA-256 Proof-of-Work + 21 million maximum supply + 4-year halving makes NewBitcoin familiar to Bitcoin users while targeting a different mining environment focused on individual miners and small ASICs.
⛏️ Mining Emission
NewBitcoin’s block reward is distributed to miners who successfully produce valid Proof-of-Work blocks.
As each halving occurs, the block subsidy decreases according to the protocol rules.
Important: Mining remains probabilistic. A miner’s chance of finding a block depends on its hashrate relative to the total NewBitcoin network hashrate and the current network difficulty.
