BTX is a post-quantum hard fork of Bitcoin Knots. It replaces SHA-256 proof-of-work with a deterministic matrix-multiplication kernel that runs on commodity CPUs and consumer GPUs, and replaces ECDSA signatures with post-quantum primitives.
- 90-second target block time, ASERT difficulty adjustment per block.
- 21 million coin cap, 20 BTX block subsidy, first halving at block 525,000 (~July 2027).
- No exchange listings. BTX trades peer-to-peer and OTC. A deterministic price model lives at btxprice.com.
- No premine, no founder allocation, no ICO. Every coin in circulation has been mined.
Aligned economics
The 2.50% pool fee does not disappear into an operator's pocket. It accrues to a transparent user treasury whose address is published on the live dashboard and verifiable on-chain.
Weekly batched payouts, no minimum
Earnings accrue under PPLNS and pay out once a week. There's no minimum threshold — small miners get paid the same way large miners do, just batched to keep network fees reasonable.
Built for the BTX network
The pool runs a custom block-forwarder that pushes newly-found blocks to fleet peers ahead of the BTX P2P gossip cadence, materially cutting orphan rate on a young low-peer-count network.
Open source & transparent
The pool server, miner client, and tooling are all open source at github.com/dexbtx. Live stats are public; full JSON at /stats.
Get a BTX address
If you already run btxd, call btx-cli getnewaddress. Otherwise, see the setup guide for options.
Download the miner
Grab dexbtx-miner — a single static binary for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Any BTX-compatible stratum miner works too.
Point it at the pool
Run with the pool stratum URL and your BTX address as the worker name:
dexbtx-miner \ --pool stratum+tcp://stratum.minebtx.com:3333 \ --address <YOUR_BTX_ADDRESS>
