[ANN] EncryptLock (LOCK) | New blockchain, built with AI | Your PC earns LOCK

[EncryptLock]

Thanks for trying EncryptLock! Here is exactly how to get USDC into the app, step by step:

1. In the EncryptLock app, tap the USDC coin (the blue $ at the top). Copy YOUR address there: it starts with 0x... (not the lock1... address).

2. On your exchange (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken...), go to Withdraw / Send and choose:
   - Coin: USDC
   - Network: Polygon (it may be called "Polygon POS" or "MATIC/POL"). Do NOT choose Ethereum (ERC20), BNB Smart Chain or any other network.
   - Address: paste your 0x... address from step 1
   - Amount: what you want to use to buy LOCK

3. Send also a little POL (about 1 POL is plenty) to the SAME 0x... address, again on the Polygon network. POL pays Polygon's network fee (a few cents per payment). Without POL the app cannot pay.

4. Wait a few minutes. The USDC and POL appear in the app under their coins.

5. Open Buy / Sell, pick an offer (the best price has a star) and confirm. The LOCK come to your wallet as soon as the payment is seen.

Every step is shown in our videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ENCRYPTLOCK

If your USDC still don't show, please check:
- Network: was it Polygon? If you picked Ethereum or BNB, the USDC went to that network, not to Polygon. They are not lost, but the app only shows Polygon.
- Coin: was it USDC or USDC.e? The app shows native USDC (contract 0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359). USDC.e, the old bridged version, does not show.
- Address: was it the 0x... address from the app?

Reply with the transaction ID (TxID / hash) or your 0x... address and I'll check exactly where the USDC are. Both are public and safe to share. Never share your 24 words with anyone.

Also make sure you have the latest app: Settings > at the bottom you see "EncryptLock 1.0.x". If in doubt, reinstall the latest version from our website (link in the first post).
Thanks for sending the address. Let's check it together:

1. In the EncryptLock app, tap the USDC coin (the blue $ at the top). Is the 0x... address shown there exactly the same one you posted here?
2. If it is the same, the USDC and POL appear under their own coins (USDC is not LOCK). To get LOCK, open Buy / Sell and take an offer.
3. If it is different, you sent to another wallet (for example your exchange wallet). Send again to the 0x... address shown in the app, choosing the Polygon network.
4. Make sure you have the latest app: Settings > at the bottom "EncryptLock 1.0.14". If in doubt, reinstall the latest version from our website.

Tell me what you see and I'll help you with the next step.


Update: short pause tonight + version 1.0.15

The network paused for a few hours last night. That was on purpose: the developer switched off his LockKeeper (the PC that runs the blockchain, creates blocks and earns LOCK) to give everyone time to install the new version. While there are fewer than 20 LockKeepers, the network depends on his PC, so a pause on his side means no blocks for a while. Nothing is lost: balances, guarantees and accounts stay as they are. Once there are 20 active LockKeepers, the network is shared among all the computers that are on, and no single PC can stop it.

Why the update
Yesterday someone used several accounts and computers to game the market. They sold 1000 LOCK for $1 to their own account, which crashed the price, and moved coins between accounts to get a bigger guarantee and a bigger share of the rewards.

What changed (1.0.14 + 1.0.15)
- Guarantee: $1, the same for everyone. Each PC counts as one; rewards follow the hours a PC is connected, not the size of the guarantee.
- Price: the price shown in the app is the price the rules use. Offers must stay within ±40% of it (at $0.25: from $0.15 to $0.35).
- Max 3 trades a day between the same two accounts.
- Only accounts that are at least 7 days old count for the price.
- New badges: 💎 Secure account (7 days or more) and 🆕 New account (less than 7 days), on offers and in the LockKeeper list.

What to do
Open the app → Settings and check that it says 1.0.15. If not, install the latest version from the site (link in the first post). LockKeepers that were stopped come back by themselves after the update; nothing else is needed.               A word on multiple computers
Having several PCs is fine: each one can run a LockKeeper and earns for the hours it is connected. Trading between your own accounts to move the price is a different thing. Every trade is public on the blockchain and anyone can see it, us included. With the new rules it simply doesn't pay off: prices stay within ±40% of the price shown, the same two accounts can trade at most 3 times a day, and accounts younger than 7 days don't count for the price.



Thanks for the screenshots, they help a lot.

Good news first: your coins arrived and they are safe. Your address 0x1B6F...bc7a holds 1.9774 USDC (the right one, native USDC on Polygon) and about 28.07 POL. You can check it yourself on Polygonscan by searching your address.

The "—" in the app does not mean zero. It means the app on your PC could not reach the Polygon network to read the balance. The servers are working, so something on your PC is most likely blocking the connection. Please try:
1. Close the app completely and open it again; wait about 30 seconds on the USDC page.
2. If you use a VPN, an antivirus with a web shield, or a firewall, allow EncryptLock or switch them off for a moment and try again.
3. Check in Settings that the app says 1.0.15. If not, or if it still shows "—", uninstall and install the latest version from the site (link in the first post).

About the price and the 1000 LOCK guarantee you see: the network was paused last night for the update, so the app was showing old numbers from before the fix. Once it reloads, the price and the guarantee follow the new rules.

Everything was fine, the quad9 blocked
Thank you for your help

[EncryptLock]

Great to hear it was Quad9 and that everything is working now. Thanks for coming back to tell us: it will help anyone else who sees "—" in the app.

If anything else comes up, just post here or write to us, and we will help as much as we can. For anyone reading: the new guide video on buying and selling (best price button, the ±40% rule, fees, the 1 dollar guarantee) is coming in the next days.

Welcome aboard, and enjoy EncryptLock 1.0.15.

[lacreme83]

Have you planned the listing $LOCK other than Encryptlock?

[EncryptLock]

@leo323 you're welcome! The 100 LOCK welcome gift was sent to your address. Thanks for keeping your LockKeeper on.

@lacreme83 good question. EncryptLock is not a wallet and not an exchange. It is a new blockchain with its own coin, LOCK, its own rules and its own code, the same way Bitcoin started in 2008 as a new network. It is run by LockKeepers: normal home computers that run the blockchain, create the blocks and earn new LOCK every hour they are on. No mining hardware, one computer = one vote.
There is no listing on other exchanges planned. LOCK already has its own market inside the app: people sell and buy LOCK directly with each other for USDC on Polygon, and the network holds the LOCK until the payment is seen, so nobody can run away with your coins. No exchange account, no listing fees.

A few things for everyone:

1. Updates. Every new version is scanned with antivirus engines before it is published. Updates improve the app (PC and phone): small logic fixes, missing things, buttons that did not work. There were many at the start because that is when the real network began and we found what needed fixing. Updates never touch your coins or your 24 words. If a network rule ever changes, it is announced first and only starts days later. So please always update. After updating, open the app once and check the version in Settings. If anything looks stuck, uninstall and install the latest version from the first post.

2. Pauses. Until the network has 20 LockKeepers, the developer's computer still holds it together. If it is off for some hours (rare, but it happens), the app shows the network waiting for a LockKeeper. Nothing is lost: blocks continue from where they stopped as soon as it is back. That is why reaching 20 LockKeepers that have been online for 100 hours matters so much: from then on every computer counts the same and the network belongs to the LockKeepers, with no need for the developer.

3. Sharing. If you like your experience here, recommending EncryptLock helps all of us: more LockKeepers means a stronger network. And be clear about what LOCK is worth: a balance of LOCK is not money in dollars or euros. It only becomes real money when you sell it on the market and someone buys it, and then you see the USDC in your wallet. For someone to sell, someone has to buy, and the other way round. That is true for everyone, the developer included.

Thank you all, and we hope to see thousands of LockKeepers keeping this network alive.
The $6.3B Binance hack, and what it means for EncryptLock

On 29 October about $6.3 billion was taken from one Binance hot wallet. According to Binance, the way in was a hacked engineer's laptop. From there the attackers reached the exchange's signing system and used EIP-7702 (an Ethereum feature that lets a wallet run contract code) to make the wallet obey them. Binance says it will cover the losses.

The lesson is not about EIP-7702 itself. It is about one pot holding everyone's coins: one breach reaches them all.

How EncryptLock is built differently:

• No central wallet. Every coin stays in its owner's own wallet. There is no hot wallet to drain.
• Keys only on your device. Your 24 words never leave it. Hacking the website, or even the LockKeepers that run the blockchain, gives nobody your keys.
• No EIP-7702. Our blockchain has no contract code on accounts. In the app's Polygon wallet, the app only signs 5 fixed operations it builds itself (send, and the market's buy/refund steps), never a 7702 authorization.
• Two signatures per account: Ed25519 plus ML-DSA-65, which is quantum-safe.
• Sovereign Vault. Every send waits the days you choose, 7 to 365. During the wait you see it and cancel it. Raising the delay works at once, lowering it only after the current delay, so a thief cannot speed it up.
• "It wasn't me". Freeze the account in one tap; a second phone must approve sends to new contacts or above your daily limit.
• Market without custody. Buying LOCK with USDC is a direct swap between the two people. Nobody holds the coins in between.

To be fair about limits: if someone gets your 24 words and you have no Sovereign Vault on, nobody can reverse it. That is why the Vault exists, and why we recommend it for anyone keeping a large amount. The Vault protects LOCK; USDC and POL in the Polygon wallet follow Polygon's normal rules.

31 October 2008 → 31 October 2026: 18 years to the day

On 31 October 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto sent the Bitcoin white paper to a small mailing list. Almost nobody paid attention.

Exactly 18 years later, this October, the EncryptLock white paper went out too. We didn't plan the date. But we noticed it.

A short story about waiting
- October 2009: the first exchange rate. 1 dollar bought about 1,300 BTC.
- May 2010: someone paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
- February 2011: Bitcoin reached 1 dollar, more than 2 years after the white paper.
- November 2013: it passed 1,000 dollars.

Most people heard about it, thought "too early, too strange", and waited. When they finally looked again, the early days were over. The chance to be there at the start doesn't come back.

Where EncryptLock is today
- The network (encryptlock-1) has been running since 18 October 2026.
- 40,000,000 LOCK, never more. The founder got 1%, public on the chain since block 1. No pre-sale, no investors, no private deals.
- LOCK is created only by LockKeepers: ordinary Windows PCs, each with its own security chip, that run the blockchain, create the blocks and earn LOCK every hour they are on. One computer = one LockKeeper, and every LockKeeper earns the same share.
- About 10 LockKeepers are on right now. It is still day one.

Our journey
EncryptLock is built by one founder in Portugal, working with AI. No company behind it, no marketing budget. Just a working network, a wallet app and a market where LOCK is traded for USDC.

Our goal
A coin that protects ordinary people from the mistakes and thefts that make crypto scary:
- every transfer must be accepted within 1 hour, and a wrong address gets its money back by itself;
- a "Wasn't me" button, second-device approval and daily limits;
- heirs chosen inside the network, so coins never die with their owner;
- a vault that delays big withdrawals, so a theft can be stopped in time;
- every transaction also signed post-quantum (ML-DSA).
The next update makes the network run entirely on the LockKeepers: no central computer, not even the founder's.

Bitcoin's story is history, not a promise. Nobody knows what any coin will be worth, and this is not financial advice. But one thing is true for every network: the start only happens once.

It's still the start.
EncryptLock 1.0.16 – from 4 Nov the network no longer depends on its developer
From 4 November 2026, 12:00 UTC, EncryptLock no longer depends on its developer.

There is no central computer any more. The network is run only by its LockKeepers (a LockKeeper is a PC that runs the EncryptLock blockchain: it checks transfers, creates the blocks and earns EncryptLock coins for it).

What "independent" means in practice

• The developer's PC becomes one LockKeeper like everyone else: same vote, same earnings, no special power.
• If the developer switches off, the network keeps going.
• If many LockKeepers switch off at once, the ones still on carry on by themselves.
• Every LockKeeper opens its own free door to the internet; LockKeepers connect to each other, not to one central PC.
• A new LockKeeper joins without the developer: its PC's security chip (TPM 2.0) is checked by LockKeepers the network draws at random.

How the coins are shared
The coins released every hour are always paid in full, in equal parts, to the LockKeepers that are on in that hour:

• 2 on: 50% each
• 10 on: 10% each
• 20 on: 5% each
• More than 20: a smaller equal part each, and nobody ever above 5%

More LockKeepers means a smaller part each. No coin is ever left behind: an hour with nobody on is added to the next hour.

Also in 1.0.16

• Every real security chip passes: Intel (all recent generations), AMD (every family), Infineon, Nuvoton, STMicro, NationZ, Qualcomm, Atmel, Pluton.
• The $1 guarantee stays yours; a LockKeeper switched off 21 days in a row gets it back in its balance automatically.
• From now on LockKeepers update themselves on Windows, and a LockKeeper that falls behind repairs itself.
• Market: offers outside the allowed price range are greyed out; their owner can always cancel.

What you need to do
Open the EncryptLock app and tap "Update" before 4 November 2026, 12:00 UTC (Settings should show 1.0.16). On 4 November everything changes by itself.

[EncryptLock]

Congratulations slzzlyw3811, and welcome to EncryptLock!

You are now a LockKeeper: a PC that runs the EncryptLock blockchain, creates blocks and earns LOCK every hour it is on.

Before sending anything, we checked it on the network itself:
- Wallet registered: 31 October 2026, 00:10 UTC
- Security chip (TPM 2.0): verified by the network
- LockKeeper: on and signing blocks right now
- Time on: 25 hours (the gift asks for at least 24)

Every rule is met, so the 100 LOCK welcome gift has been sent to lock198lc20t3rn5mr8v34yvps2apdw2r7fpkqmuajh

Thank you for being one of the first. Keep your PC on: the coins released every hour are shared in equal parts among the LockKeepers that are on, and from 4 November 2026, 12:00 UTC the network runs only on LockKeepers like yours.

Welcome gift places left: 10 of 20.
Don't forget: every EncryptLock transfer must be accepted within 1 hour. Open the app and accept the 100 LOCK before 14:59 UTC today, or they go back to the sender.


Hi slzzlyw3811,

The 100 LOCK gift was sent to your address (lock198lc20...) today at 13:59 UTC, but it was not accepted. In EncryptLock every transfer waits for the receiver to press "Accept", and after 1 hour it goes back to the sender automatically. So the coins came back and nothing is in your wallet yet.

Please check on your phone or computer why you did not see it (app open, notifications on, latest version installed).

When you are ready to accept, just tell me here or send an e-mail to encryptlockoficial@proton.me with the time you will be available. I will send the 100 LOCK again right then, and you will have 1 hour to open the app and press "Accept" on the pending transfer.

If anything does not work, reinstall the latest version from our website (you can see the version in the app's settings).

Hi slzzlyw3811,

Sorry, we missed this. Your reply here was not seen in time because no e-mail came with it. When you are ready, please send an e-mail to encryptlockoficial@proton.me and we will send the 100 LOCK right away. Have the EncryptLock app open: if you do not press "Accept" within 1 hour, the LOCK go back to the sender again.

If anything does not work, reinstall the latest version from our website (you can see the version in the app's settings).


Hi malemoon,

Thank you for running a LockKeeper. There is a new update: from today (3 November 2026, 06:00 UTC), to become a LockKeeper you must first buy $1 of LOCK on the market, paid in USDC on the Polygon network. It does not matter if someone already sent you LOCK: without this purchase, nobody can become a LockKeeper.

You became a LockKeeper before this rule started, so we will send you the gift. Please send an e-mail to encryptlockoficial@proton.me when you are ready and we will send the 100 LOCK right away. Have the EncryptLock app open: if you do not press "Accept" within 1 hour, the LOCK go back to the sender again.

If anything does not work, reinstall the latest version from our website (you can see the version in the app's settings).
Welcome gifts sent and accepted ✅

slzzlyw3811 and malemoon: the 100 LOCK were sent to each of you today and both of you accepted them (13:03 and 13:08 UTC). Thank you for contributing to the network: you are among the first.

I consider you very smart people. Many people let new things pass them by, or take their time to buy and sell, or to run a computer for the blockchain, even when the cost is minimal: $1 of LOCK and a PC that is on.

From tomorrow, 4 November 2026, 12:00 UTC, the blockchain is in your hands. The developer is no longer the one who holds the network. Someone must always have a LockKeeper computer on for transfers and trades to be completed. My computer can still help keep the network running, but when I switch it off, the network goes on.

That is our goal: a fully independent digital coin, controlled by no one. People send, buy and sell LOCK from person to person, and contribute to the blockchain with their own PCs. No government and no company controls it. The developer keeps the website and releases updates to fix errors and improve the apps; the network itself is run by the LockKeepers.

Everyone buys and sells at the price they choose. A coin is worth what people pay for it, so the more people buy and sell, the more alive the market is, for all of us.

Bitcoin began in January 2009 and took about two years to reach $1 (February 2011). That was another era. Ours has new technology, new security and new ways to spread the word, so we hope EncryptLock reaches people faster.

Want to join? Become a LockKeeper: install the app from our website, buy $1 of LOCK on the market, and keep your PC on.

The EncryptLock network now runs without its developer

Since 4 November 2026, 12:00 UTC, new rules are active and the network no longer depends on my computer.

Real test today
I switched my own LockKeeper (a computer that runs the EncryptLock blockchain: it checks transfers, creates the blocks and earns LOCK for it) completely off for 11 minutes, door included, like a PC that is turned off.
- The other LockKeepers kept making blocks the whole time (85 blocks, no stop).
- After about 6 minutes the network took my PC out of the signing group by itself.
- When I switched it back on, it rejoined and was signing again within 2 minutes. Nothing done by hand.

Equal shares
Every LockKeeper now earns the same share of the new coins, by time on, my computer too. Today 6 are on, so about 1/6 each (16.7%). A computer that was off for part of the hour gets a little less for that hour.

Whoever is on holds the network
If many computers switch off at once, those still on carry on from the last block, even if only one is left. No coins, transfers or trades are lost. More computers on = a stronger network.

Becoming a LockKeeper
1. Install the EncryptLock app on a Windows PC.
2. First buy at least 1 $ of LOCK on the market inside the app, paying with USDC on the Polygon network. LOCK sent to you by someone else does not count: the first dollar has to be bought by you.
3. Then press the button to become a LockKeeper.

Plan B: turn on UPnP in your router
On your LockKeeper card in the app, the line "Direct connection (Plan B): on" should be green. If it is not:
1. Open your router's page in your browser (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, often written on the sticker under the router).
2. Log in with the user and password from that sticker.
3. Find "UPnP" (usually under Advanced, NAT or Network), set it to On and save.
4. Within 30 minutes the line turns green.
With Plan B on, your computer stays connected to the network even if the Cloudflare connection fails. Can't find the setting? Ask any AI chat: "how do I turn on UPnP on my router [brand and model]".

Many LockKeepers are switched off
Right now only a few of the LockKeepers that joined are on. If yours is one of the switched-off ones:
1. Switch the PC on and open the EncryptLock app.
2. Still off? Download the latest version from the site in the first post and install it over the old one (Windows SmartScreen: More info > Run anyway). Your wallet and coins are not affected.
3. Your version is shown at the bottom of Settings.

Questions are welcome here or by e-mail: encryptlockoficial@proton.me

[Hackerman555]

No source code? I warn everyone against opening this if you don’t know what it is. And anything crypto-related that isn’t open source cannot be legitimate. There’s a 99% chance this is a Trojan or virus designed to empty your wallets.

Only the OS is supposed to access the TPM chips.  Yeah, it's dangerous.  No mining, just renting your PC for 1 year?

Phishy.

[EncryptLock]

@Hackerman555 before calling it phishy, please read the first post and the app description. Here is exactly what happens.

1. THE CHIP: WHAT IT DOES AND WHAT IT CAN'T
Reading the chip: the app asks Windows through Microsoft's own key provider (ncrypt.dll), no administrator rights. It reads the chip's public ID key and the factory certificate signed by its maker. That certificate is checked against Microsoft's official list of real chip makers (Intel, AMD, Infineon, STMicro, Nuvoton...).
The chip test: once, when the PC becomes a LockKeeper, Windows asks "Allow?". The app then creates a new test key inside the chip and answers a one-time secret question that only a real chip can answer.
Why: one real PC = one LockKeeper, so nobody can fake 1,000 computers with cloud servers or virtual machines and take over the network.
What it can NOT do: read your files, your passwords, your BitLocker or Windows Hello keys. A TPM does not hand those to any app. That is the whole point of a TPM.

2. VIRUS CHECKS
Every release is scanned on VirusTotal before it goes out, and its SHA-256 is checked after download. Latest version 1.0.18: 0 detections out of 69 engines. Check it yourself.

3. NO RENTAL
There is no rental and no 1-year anything. Your PC is yours: switch it on or off whenever you want. I proved it in the post above: my own PC off for 11 minutes, back and signing within 2 minutes.

4. IT IS GETTING PAID, NOT MINING
Every LockKeeper (a computer that runs the blockchain, creates the blocks and earns LOCK) gets an equal share of the new coins, by time on. No guessing race and no huge electricity bill like Bitcoin mining: a normal PC uses almost no extra power.

Real technical questions are welcome, and I will answer them in detail.
About the "no source code" quote: that is not true. The source code is public on GitHub to read and verify (view-only license: reading yes, copying no), including the part that reads the chip. The link is in the first post.

EncryptLock today: the numbers, and why this network makes sense

Where we are (6 November 2026):
- 68 wallets registered
- 18 LockKeepers have joined with their guarantee (a LockKeeper is a normal Windows PC that runs the EncryptLock blockchain: it checks transfers, creates the blocks and earns LOCK for it)
- Block 520,484, and the network keeps running without its developer: it runs on whoever is switched on
- 19 real trades on the market inside the app
- About 685,500 LOCK created so far, only 1.7% of the 40 million that will ever exist

Why be a LockKeeper
- No mining rigs, no huge electricity bill, no guessing race. Your normal PC checks transfers and signs blocks.
- Every LockKeeper that is on gets an equal share of each hour's new LOCK, by time on. The developer's PC gets the same share as yours.
- The earlier you join, the fewer computers share each hour's coins. As more join, each one gets a smaller share.
- To start: install the app on Windows, buy at least 1 $ of LOCK on the market inside the app (USDC on Polygon), then press the button. The 1 $ guarantee stays yours.
- Switch on or off whenever you want. Being off never costs you anything.
- One real PC = one LockKeeper: the PC's security chip (TPM 2.0) proves it is a real computer, so nobody can fake 1,000 machines and take over the network.

A coin with clear rules
- Only 40 million LOCK, never more. No hidden printing, no inflation beyond that limit.
- Slow release: the coins come out little by little over 30 years, so no flood of new coins.
- No pre-sale, no private round, no big early holders buying cheap behind the scenes.

A market inside the app
- Buy and sell LOCK for USDC on Polygon, person to person, with one tap at the best price.
- No exchange account, no company holding your money.
- Every offer stays within ±40% of the price shown, so nobody can post a crazy price. The price moves step by step, through real trades.

Your coins are protected like nowhere else
- Wrong address? The receiver has 1 hour to accept. If not accepted, the coins come back to you.
- "It wasn't me": stolen phone or hacked account? One tap freezes it.
- Second device: sends above your limit need approval on another phone.
- Sovereign Vault: every send waits from 7 to 365 days, your choice. You see it coming and you can cancel it. A thief can't make it faster.
- Inheritance: choose your heirs. If there is no sign of life for the time you set (at least 1 year), the network itself passes the coins to them. No notary, no bank.
- Every account signs twice, once with a quantum-safe key.
- Your 24 words never leave your device.
