The Bithereum Node Tool has finally been released!! Now available for Mac/Windows/Linux: https://github.com/BTHPOS/node-management-tool/releases

Running a node has never been easier; in a few clicks you can run a BTH full node and earn crypto weekly via Proof of Uptime!

Check out our PoU v2 blog for details! https://medium.com/bithereum-network/bithereums-proof-of-uptime-v2-0-69da7c1ca17

This tool is a game changer. With all the sentiment regarding running full nodes, we’ve designed a way to make it as easy as it gets, while creating an incentive model to do so. It only takes 4GB of storage to run a BTH full (pruned) node, so start earning crypto today!

New mining pool added: Skypool

http://bth.skypool.co/

Get in on BTH mining while difficulty is still low!

Zergpool added!

Many people here are not interested in technology, and think, apart from developers, and a few dozen other users will not be able to explain the difference.
The main price is exchange and liquidity for miners. Miners earn on it. And if you succeed in something that previously turned out well in ravencoin, then it will be great.

Qtum is for sure an excellent project, however there are slight differences. Whereas Qtum has taken the UTXO model and built it into a modified Ethereum or smart contract platform, our goal was to build a modified Casper PoS model (with additional Ethereum scaling solutions) atop of Bitcoin, allowing BTH to be solely a p2p currency, as opposed to a smart contract platform.

However for the foreseeable future, our PoS implementation is laid out in our Proof-of-Uptime program where all full nodes get incentivized based on the amount of time the node is up. No actual staking is required however holding more BTH in your full node wallet will allow you to receive additional rewards.

This means that mining will be around in BTH for time to come, which is good news for you

The concept of merging bitcoin and ethereum is good but not unique. Qtum does the same and is years ahead for development. However, as a new coin to mine this bithereum could be a good choice

New BTH mining pool added!

zpool - https://zpool.ca

Fee: 1.25% or less
Payouts are made automatically every 4 hours for balances above 0.05 and balances more than 0.0125 are included in one of the payouts each day.

Another successful Proof of Uptime payout this week! 57 people running BTH nodes have been rewarded.

If you're not earning from running a node, what are you waiting for?

Learn about Proof of Uptime: https://medium.com/bithereum-network/introducing-proof-of-uptime-7e91256aabf1

Week 4 Proof of Uptime (PoU) rewards were distributed 3 days ago (Monday). 54 people earned BTH by running a Bithereum node!

Run a Bithereum node today with as little as 8GB of storage and participate in PoU, earning BTH weekly for helping to secure the chain!

If you have any questions about PoU or the project in general you can ask us in our Discord: https://discord.gg/wbsnuGN

The insight node has completed rebuilding the chainstate and the explorer is back up: https://insight.bithereum.network/. We also have a backup so in the event we need to update our insight node again, the explorer won't go down. Guarda should now be working as well since they use our insight api to display balances and send/receive BTH.

Our payouts for full node rewards for Week 3 will now be based on balances since we'll be able to pull that info from the explorer.

We're working to get the Bithereum Node Launcher up by the beginning of next week. The node launcher will make it easy for people who may not understand the technical ins-and-outs of setting up a full node.

If you would like to run a full node you will have two options: running an archive node, or running a pruned node.

An archive node is a full node that contains every single block within the BTH blockchain, and is suitable for someone who has the additional disk space for it (212 GB). A pruned node on the other hand, stores a specified amount of blocks at any given time and is suitable for someone who has less available disk space (between 16-32 GB).

In the coming days we will be providing tutorials on how to use the Bithereum Node Launcher and how to set up an archive node and a pruned node.

Feel free to ask us any questions you may have!

Bithereum's Proof-of-Uptime (PoU) v1.0 will be starting on February 22nd, where ANYONE who runs a BTH full node can be rewarded for doing so.

Check out our newest blog for more details on PoU! https://medium.com/bithereum-network/introducing-proof-of-uptime-7e91256aabf1

We're putting the final touches on the full node rewards program and we should be getting it out by next week, with the payout cycle starting on the 22nd, and the first payout being March 1st.

For those of you who are interested in earning BTH for running a full node, it's recommended to start running your full node now to get it synced by the first pay cycle.

We'll be posting a blog next week discussing Proof of Uptime and all of the details of the program!

Our Discord is up, join here: https://discord.gg/wbsnuGN

Come engage in Bithereum discussions!

Hi, to mine Equihash owns like ours you'll need a dedicated AMD or NVIDIA graphics card with at least 8 GB of DDR5 RAM. Depending on the mining software that you use will determine the graphics card that you'll need. We recommend using Lolminer and you can find more information for what's supported here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/lolminer-164-fastest-kaspa-miner-in-market-4724735

Most mining consoles use text or console based interfaces, as far as we're aware most don't use GUI. Once you have your mining software setup  you'll want to connect to one of the available mining pools which you can find here: https://bithereum.network/ under the "Resources" tab or here: https://miningpoolstats.stream/bithereum

Hi! I would like to ask what is the minimum computer hardware to mine the Bithereum? Is the mining console uses GUI or Text based?

No point of mining. All volume on both exchanges is fake. Especially p2pb2b. Top 20 is nonsense. Been trying to sell there for a week now. Only bot trading there, always right under my sell order. Lol can push the price 200% up or down by changing my sell order.

Check out our latest news update blog regarding achievements from our first month of mainnet including wallets, pools, exchanges, and our plans for moving forward! We're pushing to get the full node rewards program out as soon as we can!

What is going on with this coin? I mined bithereum at the start few weeks ago. Pool is telling me I’m payed 1891 BTH. Explorer tells me 1785 BTH. Trying to sent with Guarda to exchange. Keep telling me transaction failed.

Pool:

http://bth.altpool.pro/workers/BD6zEWVuGW6mPYmfYH68u9jkyiET1eszt1

Explorer:

http://explorer.bithereum.network/address/BD6zEWVuGW6mPYmfYH68u9jkyiET1eszt1

What is going on, fix this please. What a mess

For all Blockfolio users, you can now keep track of BTH on the Blockfolio app! We have also applied for Blockfolio Signal so that we can push updates to our community through that as well. You can download the app here: https://blockfolio.com

You can also keep track of BTH here:

Coin Codex - https://coincodex.com/crypto/bithereum/

Coin Gecko - https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bithereum

Live Coin Watch - https://www.livecoinwatch.com/price/Bithereum-BTH

Someone made an excellent video on mining BTH for both NVIDIA and AMD!

You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3KbbMJxLFM

Thank you. Working!

Try again, the link is showing 302 confirmations for me. Sometimes this explorer is slow so you have to manually copy and paste the block hash into the search bar, and then click on the corresponding tx hash under 'Latest Transactions'. This manually updates the transaction if it's not showing confirmations.

In the coming days, we will be releasing an Insight explorer that will be completely up to date and perform far faster. We will post an update here once it's out.

Why this transaction is still unconfirmed? http://explorer.bithereum.network//tx/f52d90b858384c877d7b6377a080fc3ec013a85d6b02e1896a5ee393f20a645e

Check out our new website redesign! Plenty of exciting things coming soon, including our insights explorer, full node rewards, BTH distribution for ETH holders, and much more!

https://bithereum.network

We're excited to announce that BTH is now trading on Instant Bitex! We will have more exchanges in the coming week, so stay tuned!

https://instantbitex.com

Lol you should check your explorer

It's been a week (singular) and we've had a working explorer up since the moment we launched: http://explorer.bithereum.network. Indeed it works a bit slow and we've been working as quickly as we can to get up our Insight explorer but these things take time, as any dev would know.

Now, did you think this was a "shitcoin" before or after you decided to mine? :-)

This is one of the worst start of a coin I ever witness. Can't even get a decent explorer working weeks after their launch.

Now I can't even dump my mined coins anywhere lol. Talk about a shitcoin :-)

DO NOT TRADE BTH ON BITEBTC, AS THIS EXCHANGE MAY BE A SCAM! We will try to get delisted from them but are unsure if this will be possible; we ask that no users trade on any exchange that has not been announced by the team themselves.

how i saw my balance in guarda:

it was first

https://c.radikal.ru/c30/1901/5d/506cf5755435.png

I don’t know why this happens but manual replenishment of the wallet should be corrected )

Windows build/wallet for 0.18.9 has been released and can be found here: https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases

No worries, Guarda is resyncing their node and balances will show again when that process is finished and sending will be activated. People are already reporting that their balances are showing up again so this should be resolved soon.

Once Guarda confirms to us that everything is complete and sending is enabled, we'll post another update here.

Ah cool. Just checked and same thing. BTH balance removed there.
Was checking it earlier and had few coins in both addresses. Interesting.

lost all coins with Guarda. Help !!!

FYI:

BTH on CREX24 is NOT US! DO NOT BUY OR SELL BITHEREUM ON CREX24!!! This is another project bithereumcoin, which released their ANN days after us and has no dev since July of 2018. This coin is not us and you will end up losing your money if you buy or sell that coin. Exchanges that support Bithereum (BTH) will be announced when they become available. We already have integration with a number of exchanges.

The ETH holder redemption distribution will happen in about a month. As long as you send the 0 ETH transaction, you will automatically receive BTH to your BTH address upon the commencement of ETH holder distribution.

As for the different addresses, the address generated from the site right now is a Bitcoin address. However, since we're a fork of Bitcoin, a BTH address will share the same private key, and if you import that key into our Electrum wallet or Guarda, it'll provide you with the corresponding Bithereum address that starts with a B. Also, creating a new wallet with Electrum or Guarda will provide you with the "B" address as well. We'll be making changes to the site soon, and creating an address on the site will provide you with the proper "B" address.

The correct release to use is 0.18.9, but our windows build isn't up yet. It will be ready in the next few days; we will post an update when it's up.

What is this contact? https://bithereum.network/ethredeem
I send 0 ETH, but no BTH is coming
And why BTH address here is another then in guarda after import?

My Win64 Bithereum 0.18.8 wallet wont sync ?

Bithereum mainnet has officially launched!!

Difficulty reduction window also went waayy quicker than expected and has ended already. Difficulty still relatively low so come on board!

UPDATE: Mining is expected to start tomorrow, January 5th at approximately 20:00 UTC!

Join a mining pool before mainnet launches to participate in the difficulty reduction window! Pools are almost done syncing and mainnet is likely to fully launch tomorrow (January 5th)

ALTpool: http://bth.altpool.pro
EquiHub: https://bth.equihub.pro (Pools available in US, EU, and Asia)
LuckyPool: https://bth.luckypool.io/ (Pools available in EU and Asia)

We've officially mined Bithereum's "genesis" block (block 555,555) and we are excited to say that this coincides with Bitcoin's genesis block's 10 year anniversary! We have since stopped mining after the second block (block 555,556) and are now working on recompiling our builds and finalizing our mainnet infrastructure.

We will be providing pools with our 210 GB bootstrap file along with our full nodes they can sync from by the end of tomorrow. Pools can then begin syncing and once this is complete, Bithereum's mainnet mining will officially commence. Once the network is up, it will go straight into the difficulty reduction window!

Bithereum is here!!!!

Yes, our syncing issues have been resolved! Right now we’re finishing up syncing additional nodes for others to sync from. We also have a 210 GB bootstrap file that we are working on providing pools with by today/tomorrow; updated code will be pushed on our GitHub soon as well. We will aim to mine the first block today to trigger syncing across the network for everyone and then pause mining and wait for the pools to finish syncing to restart the network. Once we mine the first block, it will be entirely dependent on how fast pools sync, but rest assured, mining will begin prior to the end of the week.

Once the network is up, it will go straight into the massive difficulty reduction for the first 20,000 blocks, which means that since the difficulty is so low, blocks will be found much faster, so as long as you join one of the pools you'll contribute to finding many blocks.

Hi, any further updates? Have the issues been resolved? Can you provide an ETA on mainnet?

Quick Q about the difficulty reduction - What will this mean? Will blocks be found faster or will it be easier to be found by those with the most Sol's.

Hi all, to update everyone, we had come across some issues when syncing BTC blocks to our full node, but have been working tirelessly to resolve them and have made much positive progress over the passed few days. We're aiming to have mainnet live sometime by the end of next week and mining will begin! Thank you again for all of your patience and support!

Yes, the address generated from the site right now is a Bitcoin address, however since we're a fork of Bitcoin, a BTH address will share the same private key, and if you import that key into our Electrum wallet or Guarda it'll provide you with the corresponding Bithereum address, starting with a B. Also, creating a new wallet with Electrum or Guarda will provide you with the "B" address as well. We'll be making changes to the site soon, and creating an address on the site will provide you with the proper "B" address.

Right now our main focus is getting our full node fully synced with BTC blocks up until 555,555 so we can go live, however the sync process is taking longer than expected so we just ask that our community bear with us and be patient until we complete the process. Everyone in the community has been supportive and patient so we can't thank them enough! BTH will be live soon!

Any direction on where to to get a Bithereum address. The one starting with a B? Or where or how to convert a bitcoin address to Bithereum and set up for mining? Links provided by the Bithereum website for offline wallet provided a bitcoin address. Looking to sort it out before main net starts ? 

Bitcoin block 555,555 has reached!! As soon as the full nodes finish syncing the chain, the spork will be complete, and mining will begin! We estimate it will take an additional 24-48 hours for this process to complete.

We have at least two exchanges that are currently integrating BTH and will announce those exchanges when the integration process is complete.

Any exchanges from the start?

We've just released our most recent blog on everything you'll need to mine Bithereum! Check it out before the fork (Bitcoin block 555,555) and get in on the MAJOR difficulty reduction window upon launch!

https://medium.com/@bithereumnetwork/how-to-mine-bithereum-37c634b291bb

Glad it worked! Let us know if there's anything else you need

Ah, I wasn't aware needed test net address thank you.

Your address is for mainnet and not testnet. It should start with a T and not a B.

Also you need to remove “stratum+tcp://“ from the url

Yes, Please see config. Using NHEQMiner 5-c. see pic attached.

nheqminer -l stratum+tcp://testnet-pool.bithereum.network:3857 -u BAbkX7PvwZQRKQ4UBzjUwBANSKLEE5nheu.w1 -p anything

edit: Tried FunakoshiMiner 5.2 again as well, same issue.

https://imgur.com/a/VFb5oha

The release is available for all operating systems Linux, Windows (32 and 64), and MacOS: https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases

Are you using the Nhq/Fuki present on our repo? Also, are you using a testnet address that starts with a T?

Try to connect to our test pool if you haven't done so yet and let us know if that works:

[Configuration]
- Username: your testnet Bithereum address
- Password: anything
- URL: testnet-pool.bithereum.network
- Port: 3857

Could I get some help? been trying various pools and miners still can't get my rig to work on the test net. Just tried Nhq/Fuki miner and got errors. Seems mostly to be all the test pools. I get Stratum error or something. Even Copy paste examples gets me "no connection" errors. With FUKI miner I get errors as well.

sorry meant to say test net pool not working

http://testnet-pool.bithereum.network

was going to try connect a miner

Testnet is working, here's the testnet explorer: http://testnet-explorer.bithereum.network

Are you trying to connect to testnet using a full node or a miner?

test net not working ?

You may be right in that one day ASICs will become cheaper and more affordable for the average miner, however as it stands today it's infeasible, and the main issue is that the largest manufacturer of these machines also happens to be the largest mining pool which is where the centralization stems from. By the time ASICs become cheaper, the top manufacturers/pools will most likely have come up with even more powerful machines that makes the cheaper ASICs obsolete, which will not solve the issue of centralization one bit. This will be an endless cycle.

You're also missing the overall goal of this project, as we believe there is a flaw in PoW as a whole, which is why we're switching to PoS. PoW has served it's purpose up until now, however there's heaping amounts of evidence to show that PoW is unsustainable for the long-term. Not just in terms of environmentally, but also in terms of efficiency and centralization. If you'd like, we go into detail in our whitepaper (pages 7-10) with plenty of sources to back up our claims: https://bithereum.network/storage/whitepaper.pdf. We also go into detail from pages 10-12 about how PoS helps solve this issue. Specifically Ethereum's Casper model which solves the issues of the nothing at stake problem as well as long range attacks and others.

The goal of starting with an ASIC resistant Equihash algorithm is so that for the year or so leading up to our PoS implementation, we hedge against the risk of a conglomerate hijacking the network and ensure it's long-term sustainability. While also allowing the average person anywhere in the world to participate in mining which gets crypto into the hands of more people and helps the goal of global adoption.

You are contradict to yourself. Small farms leads to decentralization.

There was centralization of GPU mining at one time as well, until prices came down and small farms began to grow.

The same process will happen with ASIC miners. As prices get cheaper more rigs will be purchased by individuals and that will solve your much worried about but mostly inconsequential centralization argument.

Lets see on BTC mining in big farms. Can you mining BTC now? Its leads to centralization of mining. And community with ASICs is smaller.

This was the same argument when CPU mining became obsolete as GPU's were brought into service.

It was also the argument when horse drawn carriage drivers saw the first automobiles and scoffed at them, saying they would never last.

Basically y'all are stuck with a ton of unprofitable rigs that you have spent thousands of dollars to buy and are now unsuccessfully scratching around looking for coins to mine to be profitable again. ASIC's are the wave of the future and any new coin that does not understand that will not develop as well as one that does.

Without an ASICs mining for almost everyone. Community bigger without an ASICs. Mining on GPU is better.

Well I'm just gonna say it and then put on my flame-proof suit.

All y'all making your ASIC resistant coins is just stupid. ASIC's are the future of mining and if you can't go with the flow you will end up in the dumpster of shitcoins that could have been contenders.

Right now we're not listed on any exchanges, you're probably referring to bithereumcoin.com which we're not associated with in any way. That project seems to be an ICO and appears to be dead. We are Bithereum Network, a fork of BTC, and the link to our site is: https://bithereum.network. We're in talks with exchanges to have us listed upon our mainnet launch.

This is an interesting project with a good idea and a good team, but for now this coin is being traded only on a pair of exchanges. Its greatest achievement will be access to the Coinmarketcap, but even if the team succeeds, the trading volumes and confidence in the new coin are still too small.

Hi all, we have officially announced the date of our hard-spoon snapshot of the Ethereum blockchain, December 12th! This will lock in the BTH allocation for ETH holders based on the ETH:BTC ratio at the time and we will announce the Bitcoin block we will be forking off of. Once this is completed, the mainnet build will be pushed live so that miners and people running full nodes will be able to begin syncing. The hard-fork will occur approximately 2 weeks after the hard-spoon (~Dec 28th) , and mining will begin!

Check out our newest blog for more details! https://medium.com/bithereum-network/bithereum-hard-spoon-snapshot-announcement-fd18b30a4352

The mainnet launch is expected around December 28th, we'll be announcing the hard-spoon snapshot date along with the expected mainnet launch within the next week. Correct, coins on testnet are just test coins and won't be exported to the main chain.

when is the planned launch for mainnet? testnet will not give any "real" coins right? They wont be exported to main?

Yes it does, here's the link: https://github.com/BTHPOS/mining-nvidia-nheqminer

If you have any other questions let us know

NHEQMiner 144.5? does this exist?

We're currently working to provide the Windows OS/MacOS releases and will update in the very near future when they're ready.

How about Testnet release for Windows OS?
Here only release for Linux: https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases

Difficulty Reduction Window & Verified Mining Pools: https://medium.com/bithereum-network/bth-mining-difficulty-reduction-window-8d0e2e535627

12/26/18 UPDATE: Our fork block, Bitcoin block #555,555 has arrived. As soon as all full nodes have the entire chain synced within the next 24-48 hours, the spork will be complete, and Bithereum mining will begin!!

Our mainnet build can be found here: https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases




Bithereum is a fork of Bitcoin in combination with Ethereum’s technological roadmap structured around Proof of Stake consensus to create an unparalleled peer-to-peer digital currency. Bithereum represents two chains in one coin; by hard-forking Bitcoin, and hard-spooning Ethereum to reward them with BTH, Bithereum is the world’s first hard-spork.

For more general info about our project you can view our bitcointalk ANN:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bithereum-bth-hard-spork-bitcoin-hard-fork-ethereum-hard-spoon-4738533

Prior to Proof of Stake, Bithereum will begin as a Proof of Work coin with an Equihash 144,5 mining algorithm. This allows for GPU mining which increases democratization, and the 144,5 algorithm requires more RAM than the standard 200,9 which will prevent the new Equihash ASIC’s from dominating mining efforts.




Our testnet is officially live and you can check it out and prepare yourself for our mainnet launch by utilizing the below resources:

Testnet explorer - View and monitor the status of the testnet blockchain:

Testnet Pool (for miners) - In order to mine TBTH you can connect to our testnet pool (or run a full node):
http://testnet-pool.bithereum.network

Run a full node - If you would like to run a full node to maintain the network or send/receive TBTH:
https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases

Coming Soon: (links will be posted in coming weeks)
Testnet Faucet - To receive TBTH, enter your BTH Testnet address into the below link and you’ll immediately receive 0.1 TBTH

Web Wallet - Use the web wallet to view your TBTH balance and send to another address

For those interested in contributing to Bithereum’s development, you can submit a pull request or report any issues/bugs to the official Bithereum Network github: https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/wiki/Bug-Bounty




In an effort to build our mining community and secure the network, we will be including a massive difficulty reduction window (starting at 0.19 difficulty) for the first 20,000 blocks upon our mainnet launch in December. It is estimated to last around 24 hours, however it may go WAY faster depending on the amount of miners so it is highly encouraged that you begin mining as soon as the hard fork happens in order to receive the maximum rewards. After this point, Equihash <144,5> will kick in along with the LWMA Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm, which adjusts the difficulty after every block.

Furthermore, if you are a pool and are interested in becoming an official sponsored mining pool for Bithereum, you can register for that in the link below. Doing so will allow you to be listed on our site as sponsored and verified and make you a top choice, after your status as a pool has been verified. This is our way of building a strong mining community from the get-go and rewarding early participants for believing in Bithereum!

Bithereum will be rewarding ANYONE who runs a full node with BTH, similar to how miners get rewarded for their work in every Proof-of-Work algorithm. We are officially introducing a new concept coined by the Bithereum Team, called “Proof-of-Uptime”, or PoU. In every other PoW system, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, there are a misalignment of incentives when it comes to full nodes. Though running a full node is absolutely crucial to the success of the network in the first place, there is no model in place to incentivize this, relying on people to be ideologically attached to a project rather than financially incentivized in the way that every miner is.

Proof-of-Uptime: Everyone who runs a Bithereum full node will be rewarded with a portion of Bithereum’s official mining pool’s fees. The amount each full node will be awarded with will be based on their node’s uptime; the higher amount of uptime a node has, the higher their reward payout will be, however even a miniscule amount of uptime will generate at least some reward. A full node explorer will also be released when the mainnet source code is posted, in which each full node will be able to see their uptime, a portion of their IP address, and their BTH address, similar to the layout of https://ethstats.net/. Rewards will be issued to each of these public addresses every other day.

More info regarding our full node rewards program will be posted in the near future via a medium blog when we reach our hard spoon snapshot date. Stay tuned.

The official mainnet launch for Bithereum is slated for ~Dec 28th. The fork block, Bitcoin block #555,555 occurred on December 26th, and as soon as the Bithereum full nodes complete the syncing process, mining will begin. December 12th is when the hard spoon snapshot for the ETH allocation was taken. The reason for the hard spoon snapshot was to lock in the ETH allocation in accordance to the ETH:BTC ratio at the time to determine BTH’s total supply. As a reminder, Bithereum’s total supply includes the BTC supply from the fork, the mineable supply, the project’s allocation, and lastly the total supply of BTH which ETH holders are entitled to redeem upon launch based on the ETH:BTC ratio at the time.

Note: The mainnet build can be found here: https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases!!
